"Institutional investors returning to money-market funds" says Financial Week. The article, which is subtitled, "Government backstop fuels sizable increase in institutional money-market assets," writes, "Institutional assets in money-market funds have increased for the first time in more than a month, a sign that investors are regaining some confidence in the safety of these temporary parking spots for cash. Overall, assets in institutional money-market funds rose by $39.6 billion during the week ending Oct. 9, according to data from the Investment Company Institute, to a total of $2.2 trillion. The nearly $40 billion jump was the largest one-week increase in institutional money-market assets since the week of July 9, when assets jumped by $42 billion."
