​ New Century Financial filed 8-​Ks stating that credit providers have pulled the plug on the company and its two affiliated asset-​backed commercial paper (​ABCP) programs. "​The Company relies on short-​term repurchase agreements and aggregation credit facilities and an asset-​backed commercial paper facility to fund mortgage loan originations and purchases pending the pooling and sale of such mortgage loans," says a March 12 filing. We don'​t find any money fund filings showing New Century asset-​backed vehicles St. Andrew Funding Trust and Von Karman Funding. So money market investors likely have little to fear. But the situation remains in flux.
