The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published its latest monthly "Money Market Fund Statistics" summary earlier this month (the stats were delayed last month), which shows that total money fund assets rose by $113.2 billion in December 2024 to a record $7.238 trillion. Assets jumped $197.8 billion in November, $93.3 billion in October and $166.6 billion in September 2024. The SEC shows Prime MMFs increased $4.0 billion in December to $1.191 trillion, Govt & Treasury funds increased $109.5 billion to $5.907 trillion and Tax Exempt funds decreased $0.3 billion to $141.0 billion. Taxable yields fell again in December after plunging in November. 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 rising $51.1 billion in January 2025 to a record $7.234 trillion. In February month-to-date through 2/6, total money fund assets have increased by $15.2 billion to $7.242 trillion, according to Crane Data's separate, and slightly smaller, MFI Daily series.)
