Money market fund assets jumping by $1.0 trillion-plus to a record $6.2 trillion was no doubt the biggest story of the year in 2023. With still almost a month to go, money fund asset growth will likely even surpass 2020's Covid-driven record jump of $1.1 trillion. Last year, rising yields were the big news, and yields continuing to rise and breaking 5% were also big news. Other major stories of the past year included: the long-awaited passage of the SEC's Money Fund Reform Proposal, the continued growth of Social MMFs and the increase in yields in European and worldwide markets. Below, we excerpt from a number of our biggest and most representative news stories of 2023 to remind readers and to highlight the major trends of the past year. (Note: As a reminder, register ASAP for our Money Fund University, Dec. 18-19 in Jersey City, New Jersey, at the Westin Jersey City Newport. Clients and friends are also welcome to stop by Crane Data's Holiday Cocktail Party at MFU on 12/18 from 5-7:30pm!)
