That means those saving cash in money market funds and Treasury bills can expect to see their rates stay higher for longer. The annualized seven-day yield on the Crane 100 list of the 100 largest taxable money funds is currently 5.13%. The appetite for money market funds is evident in the record amount of cash pouring into the products. Last week, there was $6.11 trillion sitting in money market funds, according to the Investment Company Institute , up from $5.87 trillion in mid-December. Then there are moderate risk investors with longer time horizons, which Vanguard surveys show are the majority of investors, he said.

The inflows this year come at a time when, historically, money funds see seasonal outflows. Ho calculates about $5.5 trillion of the assets sitting in money market funds are core liquidity for companies and cash savings for retail investors. In fact, the most recent push into money market funds is coming from institutional investors, according to the ICI. Assets of institutional money market funds increased by $33.06 billion to $3.65 trillion, while retail money market funds rose by $8.62 billion to $2.35 trillion, the organization found. That's because yields on money market funds lag behind Fed moves.

Next year should be another good one for money market funds, even amid anticipated rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, experts predict. An estimated $950 billion has gone into money market funds so far this year, bringing the total net assets to $5.87 trillion as of Dec. 20, according to the Investment Company Institute . The Federal Reserve has indicated three rate cuts for 2024, which means the yields in short-term assets like money market funds and online savings accounts will follow suit. That's because money market funds are competing with bank savings accounts for cash, not necessarily equities and fixed income assets, he said. Certified financial planner Cathy Curtis, founder and CEO of Curtis Financial Planning, would look at money market funds for cash you will need in six months or less.

With yields at around 5%, money market funds have been attracting investors in droves — yet not all funds are the same. Right now, prime funds yield an average 5.18%, while the average government fund's yield is 4.98%, per iMoneyNet. The weighted average maturity of retail prime money market funds is around 32 days, said Shelly Antoniewicz, deputy chief economist at the Investment Company Institute. Correction: A table in an earlier version of this report incorrectly described the listed funds as government money market funds. They are prime money market funds.

Investing in money market funds The interest in money market funds began to heat up when the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates last year, Antoniewicz said. Some $64.13 billion flowed into money market funds the week ended Wednesday, bringing total net assets to a record $5.71 trillion, per the Investment Company Institute . Net assets also hit a record within retail money market funds, reaching $2.16 billion, the ICI said. The annualized 7-day yield yield on the Crane 100 list of the 100 largest taxable money funds is currently 5.18%. "So if you have stability in a money market fund and an equal or higher yield, why would anyone consider leaving a money market fund to go longer term and have the volatility?"

Americans continue to flock to money market funds, attracted by yields the assets haven't seen in years. In fact, retail investors in money market funds have grown 40% over the past year, said Peter Crane, founder of Crane Data, a firm that tracks money markets. They also account for almost 40% of the whole money fund pie, up from 33% a year ago, he said. "They will keep hitting records, there is no doubt of that," Crane said of money market fund inflows. Here are the top yielding government money market funds, per Crane Data, as of July 31, the latest data available.

High yields and a volatile stock market have investors piling into money market mutual funds. Yet for retail funds, inflows are still climbing — the week ended Jan. 18 saw a $4.97 billion increase into retail money market funds, to bring net assets to a total of $1.74 trillion. One thing to keep in mind is that a money market fund is not FDIC-insured, while a money market account at a bank is insured. "If your money market fund yield is lagging, you probably have a high expense money fund." The net asset value of money market funds is normally maintained at $1 share.
