The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published its latest monthly "Money Market Fund Statistics" summary Thursday. The report shows that total money fund assets rose by $36.6 billion in January 2026 to a record high $8.217 trillion, after hitting $8.180 trillion the month prior. The SEC shows Prime MMFs increased $22.3 billion in January to $1.365 trillion, Govt & Treasury funds increased $23.1 billion to $6.703 trillion and Tax Exempt funds decreased $8.8 billion to $149.1 billion. Taxable yields were lower again in January following declines in December. The SEC's Division of Investment Management summarizes monthly Form N-MFP data and includes asset totals and averages for yields, liquidity levels, WAMs, WALs, holdings, and other money market fund trends. We review their latest numbers below. (Our MFI XLS monthly shows money fund assets increasing $33.9 billion in January 2026 to a record of $8.155 trillion. In February month-to-date through 2/18, total money fund assets have increased by $66.2 billion to $8.208 trillion, according to Crane Data's separate, and slightly smaller, MFI Daily series.)
