Municipal money fund managers are seeking outside credit analyses we hear from The Savader Group founder and former Moody's analyst Mitchell Savader and former iMoneyNet sales manager Perry Leardi. Managers are requesting assessments on "compliance with SEC Rule 2a-7 -- particularly the need to invest only in high-quality (double-A or better) securities -- the ongoing ability of obligors to meet spiking interest expenses, and the need to maintain a stable share price," Savader tells us.
