The July issue of Crane Data's monthly Money Fund Intelligence newsletter is out and the XLS version is now available for download on the website. This month's MFI feature articles include: "Blow to NRSROs; MFs Brace for 2a-7 Change," which discusses the proposed regulatory changes to money funds; "Safety in the West: TCW Money Market Fund," an interview with TCW portfolio manager Barr Segal; and, "Cachematrix Discusses Portal Technology."
MFI also contains a brief on whether "A Rule 2a-7 for Europe?" is likely, with comments from Institutional Money Market Funds Association Secretary General Nathan Douglas on the status of standardization and definition of the term "money market fund" in Europe.
