If look at the money fund or sweep options offered by your broker, you can often find safer funds - Schwab has a regular MM fund, which can do commercial paper, etc. Maybe 4.5% They have "Government" fund that only buys US Government back paper, like Ginny Mae (which is explicitly Government back) but not Fannie Mae. Maybe 4.2% They also have a "Treasury only" which only has treausrys and treasury repos (agreements to trade treasuries) Maybe 4.1 % ******** The funds that have Municipal bonds are less likely to have heavy subprime investments, because most subprime will not meet the tax requirements. I think, not 100% sure on this, and some Cities and Counties have wobbly finances.
