There seems to be some confusion about whether indeed European Money Market Fund Reforms will go live on Monday, January 21. Following a letter from the Irish Central Bank (and comments from fund managers), we wrote on Jan. 14 that "European Money Market Funds [Were] Granted [an] Extension for Reforms, March 21." But after hearing (and participating in) the session on "European MMF Reforms & Offshore Funds" at our Money Fund University in Stamford on Friday, we learned that Irish and Luxembourg regulators meant to only allow the extension until March 21 for Euro funds and funds using the RDM, or reverse distribution mechanism. We review the latest on European reforms below, and also quote from a new Economist article on the subject. (Note: Thanks to those who attended and supported our Money Fund University last week! Attendees and Crane Data subscribers may access the Powerpoints and recordings via our "Money Fund University 2019 Download Center.")
