Inflation hits money markets hard by forcing central banks to raise short-term rates, which boosts yields on money market funds and Treasury bills but increases borrowing costs for businesses. While higher nominal returns might look appealing, inflation often erodes the real purchasing power of these investments—meaning you could earn 3% while losing 2% in actual buying power if inflation runs at 5%. Money markets become a safe haven during inflationary uncertainty, but the constant push-and-pull between rising rates, eroding returns, and increased funding costs makes them a key battleground where monetary policy meets everyday investing. #Inflation #MoneyMarkets #Investing #Economy

Here's The Reason Why Money Market Rates Are Dropping👀 When the Treasury issues large quantities of T-bills, it increases the supply of short-term government securities in the market. If demand doesn't increase proportionally, the increased supply puts downward pressure on T-bill yields. Since T-bills serve as a benchmark for other short-term rates, falling T-bill yields pull down broader money market rates.

Corporate trustees play several important oversight and fiduciary roles in money market funds, though their specific responsibilities vary based on regulatory jurisdiction and fund structure. Here's an overview of their key functions: 1. Asset Safekeeping: Corporate trustees hold legal title to the fund's assets, ensuring they remain separate from the investment manager's assets and are protected in case of the manager's insolvency. 2. Compliance Monitoring: They verify that investment decisions comply with the fund's stated objectives, investment policies, and regulatory requirements. 3. Cash Flow Management: Trustees monitor subscription and redemption activities, ensuring proper handling of investor capital. 4. Risk Oversight: They monitor adherence to risk parameters, including portfolio duration, credit quality, and diversification requirements. 5. Liquidity Requirements: Ensuring the fund maintains appropriate daily and weekly liquidity levels 6. Credit Quality: Monitoring that investments meet the high credit quality standards required of money market instruments

💰 Money Market Fund 101 💰 What is a Money Market Fund? A Money Market Fund (MMF) is a type of mutual fund that invests in short-term, high-quality debt securities like treasury bills, commercial papers, and bank deposits. In Kenya, MMFs are regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and offer higher returns than traditional savings accounts while maintaining liquidity. Think of it as a professionally managed savings account that earns better interest by pooling your money with other investors to access institutional-grade investments. #MoneyMarketFund #KenyaInvestments #personalfinance
