The May issue of our flagship Money Fund Intelligence newsletter, which goes out this morning to subscribers, features the articles: "Money Fund Intelligence Celebrates 3rd Birthday," which discusses Crane Data's evolution and progress in providing money fund information; "UBS Banks on Liquidity, Diversity in Its MMFs," which profiles UBS Global Asset Management portfolio managers Rob Sabatino and Ryan Nugent; and, "Examining the Odds of Big Regulatory Changes," which discusses and downplays the possibility of significant change in money market mutual fund regulations. Every issue of MFI also includes news, performance rankings, Crane Indexes, and more.
The first issue of Money Fund Intelligence was published in May 2006. A mere 8 pages, it covered just 150 funds. MFI has since grown into a 30-page, 1,300 fund publication, packed with news, rankings, tables, and statistics. `The Money Fund Intelligence newsletter has since grown into a dozen products covering money funds and the money markets. We hope you will celebrate with us by becoming a customer to help us deliver quality information on money market funds!
When Crane Data launched its Money Fund Intelligence three years ago this month, little did we know that money funds were about to embark on the most wonderful and terrible period in their 40-year history. While it's been stressful and downright traumatic for many of our customers and friends, we probably couldn't have picked a better time to launch a money fund information service. The demand for money fund news, performance statistics, indexes, analytics, and education has never been greater.
In the 3 years since launching MFI, Crane Data has introduced a growing suite of money fund information products. These include: Money Fund Intelligence XLS, an Excel 'complement' to MFI, Money Fund Intelligence Daily, Money Fund Intelligence Distribution Survey, Brokerage Sweep Intelligence, Money Fund Intelligence International, and our new Money Fund Wisdom premium database service. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or to request sample issues or information.
To our loyal readers and especially to our paying subscribers: We hope you've enjoyed Money Fund Intelligence and Crane Data's suite of information products so far! We will continue to relentlessly pursue our mission of faster, cheaper and cleaner money market mutual fund information. Again, thanks to our subscribers, supporters, and information providers. We owe you a debt of gratitude, and we look forward to serving you in the years ahead. Sincerely, Peter G. Crane, President & Publisher, Crane Data LLC.
