Money market mutual fund assets plunged, likely due to the April 17 (or 18) income tax payment date. The Investment Company Institute's latest "Money Market Fund Assets" report shows that year-to-date, MMF assets have decreased by $44 billion, or -1.6%. Over 52 weeks they've increased by $167 billion, or 6.4%. ICI's numbers show the declines concentrated in Government and Institutional funds, though Prime and retail money funds declined too. We review the latest asset totals, and we also quote from a recent speech from Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard. (Note: Thanks to those who attended our session or stopped by our booth at this week's New England AFP Annual Conference in Boston! Let us know if you want a copy of Peter Crane's Powerpoint, "Money Funds: Past, Present and Future.")
