​ Flight-​to-​Safety Cash Pushes Money Fund Assets Up Despite Quarter-​End. Though money market mutual funds rose just $​2.​1 billion to a record $​2.​536 trillion in the week ended June 28 (according to the Investment Company Institute), the fact that there weren'​t quarter-​end related outflows demonstrates that money funds experienced significant "​flight-​to-​quality" inflows in the past week. (​Last year, money funds saw outflows of $​16 billion during the same week.) Money fund assets, which have been rising at an almost 20 percent pace over the past 52 weeks (​up $​416 billion, or 19.​6%), appear poised to step it up a notch. Judging from recent flows, we expect to see a guargantuan asset jump in the first week of July. The first week of the new quarter normally sees big flows due to dividends, bond rollovers and a surge in balance sheet related cash.
