Money Fund Monitor — Data & Methodology Disclaimer
Money Fund Monitor (the “Service”) is provided for informational and research purposes only. This Disclaimer supplements the Terms of Use; in the event of a conflict, the Terms of Use control.
Source Data
The Service is built on public money market fund regulatory filings — SEC Form N-MFP — obtained from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s DERA archives, for the N-MFP3 reporting era (June 2024 onward). This filing data is submitted by fund filers to the SEC; we normalize and organize it for usability. The figures shown are derived from these public filings and not from any proprietary vendor dataset.
As Reported, and Subject to Change
Filing data is presented as reported and may be delayed, incomplete, restated, or affected by inconsistencies among filers in how they classify and report positions. Filings are month-end snapshots published on a lag, and the data is refreshed periodically, so figures may not reflect the most recent filings and may change as new or corrected filings are processed.
Derived Fields Are Analytical, Not Official
Certain fields are derived or inferred by us and are analytical classifications, not official fund, filer, or security-master determinations. These include, among others: estimated floating-rate (“Est. FRN”) versus fixed classification, which is inferred from the filing’s maturity-date structure because Form N-MFP carries no rate-type field; maturity-bucket groupings; issuer normalization; and month-over-month reported position changes, including additions and “no longer reported” exits. These fields may contain errors and should not be treated as authoritative.
Reported Position Changes Are Not Flows or Trades
Month-over-month figures reflect differences between two reported month-end filings for the same fund. They are not flows, trades, purchases, sales, redemptions, or recommendations, and should not be interpreted as observed transactions.
Different Maturity Lenses
The Service may present maturity on more than one basis — final legal maturity (when principal is due) and WAM or rate-reset (when a floating-rate instrument next reprices). These answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
No Advice; Verify Before Relying
Nothing in the Service is investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, or a recommendation regarding any security or instrument. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any figure against the original SEC filings and your own systems before relying on it for any purpose.
