An integral part of global financial markets, the money market is used mostly by governments and large institutions to meet short-term obligations.
Common money market instruments include bankers’ acceptance, Certificate of deposit, Repurchase agreements, Commercial paper, Eurodollar deposits, U.S Federal Agency Short-Term Securities, U.S Federal funds, U.S Municipal notes, Treasury bills, Money market funds, and Foreign Exchange Swaps.
Being a section of the fixed income market, the money market is generally considered to be a lower risk alternative compared to other investment options such as equity markets. Self-directed investors are able to access the money market through a money market bank account, a money market mutual fund or U.S Treasury bills. Money market funds in particular were largely considered by investors to be very stable, to deal in high quality assets, be liquid, and be widely diversified. However gyrations caused by the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 seem to have shaken investor confidence of money market fund investments being “as good as cash”.
