IBD: "Parent Firms Bucking Up The Buck"
Investors' Business Daily writes "Parent Firms Bucking Up The Buck", which says about 17 advisors to date "bolstering" their money market funds, "So far the strategy has worked. No fund has broken the buck." IBD quotes Peter Crane, "Money market funds, though they've had painful bailouts, benefited from this.... High yield is good when it comes from certain things. Low expenses are good. A big, diversified (portfolio) is good. Also, a big asset base gives you protection." Also, see ignites.com's "Money Funds Act to Address Investor Concerns", which summarizes recent communications efforts by money funds. (The article was derived in part from Crane Data's "Money Funds Step Up Communications With Conference Calls E-mails").
