The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published its latest monthly "Money Market Fund Statistics" summary, which shows that total money fund assets decreased by $102.3 billion in April 2026 to $8.188 trillion, after falling to $8.290 trillion the month prior and hitting a record high $8.341 trillion two months prior. The SEC shows Prime MMFs decreased $26.2 billion in April to $1.356 trillion, Govt & Treasury funds decreased $75.9 billion to $6.680 trillion and Tax Exempt funds decreased $0.3 billion to $151.6 billion. Taxable yields were mixed in April, while Tax Exempt MMFs yields were higher. The SEC's Division of Investment Management summarizes monthly Form N-MFP data and includes asset totals and averages for yields, liquidity levels, WAMs, WALs, holdings, and other money market fund trends. We review their latest numbers below. (Our MFI XLS monthly shows money fund assets decreasing $99.0 billion in April 2026 to $8.099 trillion. In May month-to-date through 5/28, total money fund assets have increased by $197.6 billion to a record high $8.281 trillion, according to Crane Data's separate, and slightly smaller, MFI Daily series.)
