Money Fund Assets Plunge $41 Billion


Money fund assets plummeted by more than $41 billion during the week ended May 2, reports the Investment Company Institute. The largest fall in assets (more than $32 billion) was in taxable institutional funds.

That trend suggests that the activity reflects corporate cash management activity and not reallocation of portfolios by investors. If true, equity funds would not have benefited from the shift to a large extent.
