Financial Week'​s "​Rising Money-​Fund Risks Raise Specter of Default", subtitled, "Growth in assets and yield-​hungry CFOs lead money managers to invest in everything from credit card debt to auto loans", discusses growing risks in money market mutual funds. The article cites a Moody'​s seminar and survey where 47% of respondents thought money funds had gotten riskier (​up from 39% in 2005). It also discusses the growing complexity of structured securities (​quoting Peter Crane among others). Henry Shilling, senior VP at Moody'​s, said, "​Quite frankly, not all of them [​146 money fund complexes] have the resources that are required given the new reality associated with the type of securities they'​re buying."
