I feel a bit naive asking this, but what is the downside to using a treasury money market fund that is 90 some percent invested in short term treasuries? For example, a Schwab treasury fund (Value Advantage or sweep fund).

Is there still institutional risk? Aren't the shares directly backed by the underlying treasury investments?

Thanks for your insights,

Andy
