Money fund yields (7-day, annualized, simple, net) rose by 2 bps to 3.75% on average during the week ended Friday, October 30 (as measured by our Crane 100 Money Fund Index), after increasing 2 bps a week ago. Money fund yields have moved higher over the past 5 weeks as they've digested the Federal Reserve's Sept. 16, 25 basis point rate increase. Fund yields should be flat or inch higher in coming days as they absorb the last remnants of the Fed's hike (and prepare for the next one). Yields were 3.75% on 10/30/26, 3.67% on 9/30, 3.51% on 8/31, 3.49% on 7/31, 3.47% on 6/30 and on 3/31, 3.58% on 12/31/25, 4.13% on 6/30/25 and 4.28% on average on 12/31/24. MMFs averaged 5.20% on 12/31/23.

Last week, both Raymond James (RJF) and Ameriprise Financial (AMP) released Q3 earnings, and both briefly mentioned cash and money markets.

He says, "Combined net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks were $674 million, up $16 million or 2% from the prior quarter. Fee revenues earned on RJBDP balances with third-party banks increased $12 million as a result of both an increase in average balances swept to third-party banks in the quarter as well as a 6 basis point increase in the yield on such balances to 2.81%. Firm net interest income increased year-over-year and sequentially as higher interest income driven primarily by higher bank segment interest-earning assets more than offset higher interest expense." `Ameriprise CFO Walter Berman tells us, "Turning to cash, our total client cash of $81 billion was down 5% year-over-year, primarily from third-party money market funds as well …
