Money Market Funds Releasing Current Holdings to Ease Market Concerns. Several money market funds have begun listing weekly holdings in order to assuage investor fears over extendible asset-backed commercial paper. Evergreen Institutional Money Market Fund, Evergreen Money Market Fund, and Evergreen Prime Cash Management current portfolio holdings are now available online, reports
