    Tough Times Ahead for Money Market Funds

    18.05.12

    (February 21, 2012) -- Increased regulation and stubbornly low interest rates will continue to pile pressure on money market funds in 2012 as investors need returns without ramping up their risk, ratings agency Standard & Poor’s has said.

    “SEC proposed new regulations for money market funds following a decision made in 2010 – the market has responded coldly to it. These proposals included capital buffers, holdback provisions and the dreaded variable net asset values (NAV). It will be interesting to see where the market takes these discussions and see what the regulator decides upon,” Paranthoiene said.
