Matrix Settlement & Clearance Services' Money Fund Monitor just got bigger. On Wednesday the Denver-based revealed a number of enhancements to the product, with the help of the money fund specialists at iMoneyNet.
The beefed-up online service now includes a wealth of data on yields, assets, maturity duration, performance rankings, market share, portfolio composition and more.
Matrix Money Market Portal program manager Michael Rice described the move as a way to cater to "the need to understand the management and composition of a money fund portfolio and perform some level of due-diligence."

Also available is the Money Fund Report Averages, which is becoming a widely-

portfolio, but we believe it is important to have a full analysis of the marketplace,"
said Jay McLaughlin, Account Manager at iMoneyNet.
"The money fund marketplace has changed and it is more important than ever
before to have access to information when selecting money funds. Not only are
institutions facing increasing pressure to find the best yields, but the need to

some level of due-diligence is increasingly important," says Michael Rice, Program
Manager for the Matrix Money Market Portal.
