Last Week's MF Portfolio Holdings
Crane Data published its latest Weekly Money Fund Portfolio Holdings statistics last Tuesday, which track a shifting subset of our monthly Portfolio Holdings collection. (Note: We're not publishing Weekly Holdings this week; this brief reviews last week's data. We did post our latest Short-Term Bond Fund Portfolio Holdings yesterday though.) The most recent cut (with data as of December 18) includes Holdings information from 69 money funds (down eight from the week prior), which represent $1.913 trillion (down from $2.106 trillion) of the $4.711 trillion (40.6%) in total money fund assets tracked by Crane Data.
