Money market funds are similar to that of bank deposits; an extremely safe way to invest money while earning a sizable yield. Compared to other financial routes, money market funds are low-risk, low-return investments. This low-risk, low-return route could prove to be enticing to investors who are interested in avoiding loads, which are fees charged for entering or leaving funds other than money market funds. Money market funds may also prove to be attractive to investors due to the prospect of investing in municipal securities, which may be tax exempt on both federal and state levels.
