During their history of 30-plus years, money market funds have emerged as a steady, predictable mainstay of finance. They provide a preferred vehicle for cash management for individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies, and play a critical financing role in the U.S. economy. As the national association of U.S. investment companies, including sponsors of money market funds, ICI has been at the forefront of the discussion around these funds.
In June 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to proceed with another round of substantial regulatory changes for money market funds, following on a set of reforms adopted in 2010. The Commission adopted a final rule in July 2014 that will impose significant structural changes across the industry, particularly on money market funds used by institutional investors. ICI will work with the SEC and with ICI members to ensure a smooth transition to these new rules as they are implemented over the next two years.
