To all of you fixed income experts out there:

Most brokers and mutual fund families offer three types of taxable money market funds. The "regular" money market funds include primarily commercial paper. "Government" money funds usually include FNMA's and other such quasi government instruments. Treasury money market funds usually include only T-Bills.

There is a 25 to 50 basis point difference in the interest rates being paid on the different types of accounts, primarily because of the relative "safety" of the funds.

1. Is there really a difference in the safety of the different types of money market funds? How much difference?

2. How safe are all of those "repurchase agreements" in my regular money market fund portfolio?

Thanks for your input.

Best wishes,

I2
