The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published its latest monthly "Money Market Fund Statistics" summary, which shows that total money fund assets increased by $52.7 billion in August 2026 to $8.440 trillion, just below June's record $8.442 trillion and after falling to $8.387 trillion the month prior. The SEC shows Prime MMFs increased $1.5 billion in August to $1.372 trillion, Govt & Treasury funds increased $52.0 billion to $6.913 trillion and Tax Exempt funds decreased $0.8 billion to $154.7 billion. Taxable MMF yields were higher in August, while Tax Exempt MMF yields were lower. The SEC's Division of Investment Management summarizes monthly Form N-MFP data and includes asset totals and averages for yields, liquidity levels, WAMs, WALs, holdings, and other money market fund trends. We review their latest numbers below. (Our MFI XLS monthly shows money fund assets increasing $51.2 billion in August 2026 to $8.349 trillion. In September month-to-date through 9/23, total money fund assets have increased by $1.3 billion to $8.343 trillion, according to Crane Data's separate, and slightly smaller, MFI Daily series.) (Note: For those of you who attended our European Money Fund Symposium in Paris this week, thank you! We hope you had a great show, and safe travels home!)
