Are Money Market Funds Commodities? August MFI Asks Credit Suisse AM. In our August money fund "profile", Money Fund Intelligence interviews the management team of the top-ranked Credit Suisse Institutional Prime Money Market Fund. We ask, "Are money funds commodities?" CSAM Director Jack Winters tells us, "I think you should look at the experience, expertise and reputation of the portfolio managers, just to gain a level of confidence in what's going on in the fund. I think you also would be looking at the consistency of performance and the pricing structure of the portfolio. You want to look at the convenience and service features -- deadlines, ratings, etc., and the size of the fund, because the fund may be easier to use if it's large. Those are some of the remaining differentiators." This MFI also features: "Fidelity & Bankerage", "State AMT Free Funds", and our usual Money Fund News, Crane Indexes, and Performance Listings.
