Money market funds

Government funds dominate the US money-market fund complex

Every US money market fund files a monthly portfolio report on SEC Form N-MFP. This page aggregates those filings into the industry picture: $8.44 trillion in net assets across 293 funds as of June 2026, split by fund category, by what the funds hold, and by how long they lend. Government funds run $6.89T (82% of the complex), prime funds $1.39T, tax-exempt funds $154B. Aggregates only, computed at build and reconciled to the SEC's own Money Market Fund Statistics report.

Data as of June 2026 report month (SEC Form N-MFP data sets)

Categories here, five OFR classes there. This page is the SEC Form N-MFP fund-category view: assets split into government, prime, and tax-exempt, with weighted-average maturity and life the filings report directly. The complementary short-term funding page carries the OFR Short-Term Funding Monitor's five-asset MMF aggregate (which starts in November 2010 and shows the 2016 money-fund-reform rotation) alongside daily repo volumes. Only industry-level aggregates are published here, never per-fund holdings. See the methodology for the tables, items, and category mapping.

Reproducing the SEC's own report

The SEC's Division of Investment Management publishes Money Market Fund Statistics from the same Form N-MFP filings. Aggregating the raw filings ourselves for May 2026, the latest month the SEC has published, reproduces its net-asset table to the report's printed precision, and its fund counts exactly (290 funds, 32 feeder funds excluded).

Money-fund assets

Money-fund assets grew 67% to a record $8.44T

Monthly US net assets by fund category in USD trillions, from June 2022 (the first fully reported month in the N-MFP data sets) to June 2026. The complex started at $5.04T, and the Fed's 2022-2023 hikes pulled cash into funds paying money-market rates. Government funds dominate throughout, 81% of assets at the start and 82% now; prime funds are 17% in June 2026 and peaked at $1.41T in March 2024. The March 2023 bank stress is visible as a one-month jump into government funds after Silicon Valley Bank failed. The 2016 reform-era rotation out of prime predates this window and shows on /funding.

Money-fund portfolios

Treasury and agency debt plus repo dominate money-fund portfolios

Monthly US aggregate portfolio value by instrument class in USD trillions through June 2026 with direct Treasury and agency debt at $4.49T and repurchase agreements at $3.07T. Prime-fund instruments are the smaller lines: commercial paper ($314B) and certificates of deposit and time deposits ($307B). Municipal holdings are the tax-exempt funds' variable-rate demand notes and tender-option bonds. Values are gross portfolio value (Item C.6), slightly above net assets.

Liquidity buffers

Prime funds' weekly-liquid P10 sits 1.3 points above the 50% minimum

Monthly liquid-asset headroom from June 2022 through June 2026, measured as each category's cross-fund 10th percentile minus the Rule 2a-7 minimum in force. The percentile gives every reporting fund equal weight. It is not the median fund and is not an asset-weighted aggregate. Rule 2a-7 raised daily liquid assets from 10% to 25% and weekly liquid assets from 30% to 50% effective 2 April 2024, so April 2024 is the first report month using 25/50%. Tax-exempt funds are exempt from the daily minimum, so their daily headroom is not defined and is not plotted.

P10 and the median are equally weighted cross-fund percentiles. The asset-weighted mean weights each fund by net assets. The fund-count share and net-asset share within 5 percentage points are separate statistics. From June 2022 through May 2024, each fund-month averages four or five Friday snapshots reported on N-MFP2. From June 2024, it averages daily business-day observations on N-MFP3. The June 2024 break is a source-regime change, not an economic jump. Retail and institutional flags exist only from June 2024; this history uses segment="All" throughout and does not treat earlier missing segments as zero.

Yield and expenses

The latest asset-weighted gross-to-net yield wedge is 21.3 basis points

Gross and net seven-day yields are shown as net-asset-weighted means across the unsplit all-fund population for every report month. The expense wedge is computed for each fund-month as gross yield minus net yield where both legs are reported and the difference is nonnegative, then summarized. In June 2026, the all-fund median wedge is 24.7 basis points and its net-asset-weighted mean is 21.3 basis points. This is an accounting wedge that can reflect expenses and waivers, not an investor return forecast.

Median fund means the 50th percentile across funds and is not asset-weighted. Each asset-weighted mean uses the net assets of the funds observed for that metric; the three population counts are shown because coverage can differ. N-MFP2 reports month-end gross and net yield scalars through May 2024. N-MFP3 reports daily values from June 2024, which are averaged to one observation per fund-month before aggregation. The marked form break is a source change, not a yield shock.

Source: SEC, Form N-MFP Data Sets (DERA) Gross yield is Form N-MFP Item A.19 and net yield is Item B.8. The displayed wedge is their fund-level accounting difference, not a forecast or a downloadable fund screen. Methodology

Category detail and maturity

The June 2026 snapshot by category, with the weighted-average maturity (WAM, Item A.11) and weighted-average life (WAL, Item A.12) the funds report, net-asset-weighted. Government funds run the longest book (WAM 39 days, WAL 92 days) because agency floaters and longer repo lift WAL; prime funds sit at WAM 37 days; tax-exempt funds are the shortest, WAM 28 days, being mostly daily and weekly variable-rate paper. Rule 2a-7 caps a fund's WAM at 60 days and WAL at 120 days.
