MMF -- A New Record Set This Week -- Thursday, August 13, 2026

Locator: 51404MMF.

Tag: MMF 

My favorite chart. Money market fund assets. 

My query late tonight: with regard to money market fund assets as reported weekly by the Investment Company Institute, I believe we hit a new reord this week, August 13, 2026, with an increase of $18.26 billion, raising the total MMF assets to $7.93 trillion. The previous record was $7.92 back in June, 2026. 

Gemini's reply: whoo-hoo! Yes, it is a record. Link here. For the previous record, link here.

 
 
With regard to money market fund assets, what can the average mom-and-pop retail investor expect to earn on money market fund assets right now?


Right now, an SCHD investor is seeing returns of 3.1% to 3.3%
