Dechert writes "U.S. money market funds and the European sovereign debt crisis". The article says, "The financial press recently reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be proposing in the coming weeks new restrictions on U.S. money market funds, including capital requirements and a 'liquidity fee' that would hold back a portion of a client's account for 30 days in the event of a redemption. Explaining the need for such proposals, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro was quoted as saying that 'Money market funds remain susceptible to runs and to a sudden deterioration in quality of holdings, and we need to move forward with some concrete ideas for proposals to address these structural risks.'" It adds, "Although the SEC will likely propose new regulations for money funds, the ability of money funds to operate successfully through the European sovereign debt crisis calls into question the need for additional regulatory measures."
