The more printer-friendly (62-pages) Federal Register version of the SEC's Money Market Fund Reforms was recently posted on the SEC's Final Rules web page. Also, the New York Federal Reserve, which yesterday issued its "Statement Regarding Counterparties for Reverse Repurchase Agreements," added a clarifying document, "RRP Eligibility Criteria for Money Funds: Frequently Asked Questions." A couple of the Q&A's include: "Does the $20 billion net assets requirement apply to the money fund or the fund family? The net asset requirement applies to the RRP counterparty applicant, which is the money market fund itself. As stated in the RRP Eligibility Criteria for Money Funds, to be accepted as a RRP counterparty, an applicant must, among other things, be a money market fund that satisfies the description set forth in Section I(A) and have net assets of no less than $20 billion for six consecutive months (measured at each month-end) prior to the submission of the application.... Will a seven-day put option be provided to money market funds who become RRP counterparties? Yes. As stated in footnote 4 in the RRP Eligibility Criteria for Money Funds, it is contemplated that for RRP with terms exceeding seven days, the RRP counterparty will be permitted to resell the securities to the New York Fed upon seven days prior notice. The specifics of this option will be provided in the New York Fed's Master Repurchase Agreement for money market funds, which the New York Fed expects to publish in about a month."
