MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUND
What Is Money Market Fund?
One type of mutual fund that makes investments in highly liquid, short-term securities is called a money market fund. These instruments consist of cash and cash equivalent assets as well as debt-based securities with short maturities and high credit ratings. The goal of money market funds is to provide investors with a high degree of liquidity at a very low risk. Another name for money market funds is money market mutual funds.
Debt funds known as money market funds make loans to businesses for a maximum of one year. Through the modification of loan length, these funds' architecture enables the fund management to limit risk and provide superior returns. Higher returns are often associated with longer loan terms.
KEY KNOWLEDGE
Types of Money Market Fund:
Treasury bills are a means for the Indian government to raise money for a maximum of 365 days. These are regarded as being quite safe because the government issues them. lesser risks, however, also equate to lesser rewards, and this is also true with Treasury notes. T-bill returns are not as high as those of other money market securities.
Scheduled commercial banks provide CDs, which are term deposits without the opportunity of early redemption. A CD and an FD vary primarily in that a CD is negotiable without restriction.
A repurchase agreement is made between a bank and RBI to facilitate short-term loans. It can also be made between two banks.
How Does Money Market Fund Works?
A money market fund invests in money market instruments with the objective of offering good returns (interest income) and keeping the NAV fluctuations minimal.
Factors to be considered before Investing in Money Market Funds in India:
Being debt funds, money market funds are subject to all the risks associated with debt funds, including credit risk and interest rate risk. To boost returns even further, the fund manager may choose to invest in products with a little greater risk profile. Generally speaking, money market funds provide higher returns than a standard savings account. A shift in the interest rate regime affects these funds' Net Asset Value, or NAV.
Since the returns are not very high, the expense ratio plays an important role in determining your earnings from a money market fund.
Usually, money market funds are recommended to investors with an investment horizon of 90-365 days. These schemes can help you diversify your portfolio and help invest surplus cash while maintaining liquidity. Ensure that you invest according to your investment plan.
