Best Money Market Accounts of May 2020

By Elroy Mariano 3 months ago

Like almost any financial product, money market accounts have a number of advantages, but they also have some disadvantages that could make them less appealing for some people.

Withdrawal and transfer restrictions: Regulation D is a federal law that restricts you to six “convenient” transactions — such as withdrawals and transfers — from savings and money market accounts per month. These accounts are meant to be vehicles for savings, so the Federal Reserve actively discourages taking money out of them too often.

Only certain types of transactions are subject to Regulation D, including:

  • Electronic transfers
  • Wire transfers
  • Debit card purchases
  • Check withdrawals
  • Automated bill pay

Transactions that aren’t subject to Regulation D include:

  • Deposits
  • ATM withdrawals
  • ATM transfers
  • In-person transactions at a bank branch

Funding requirements: Money market accounts typically have higher opening and ongoing balance requirements than savings accounts. This is especially true for money market accounts that offer

Money market | economics | Britannica

By Elroy Mariano 3 months ago

Money market, a set of institutions, conventions, and practices, the aim of which is to facilitate the lending and borrowing of money on a short-term basis. The money market is, therefore, different from the capital market, which is concerned with medium- and long-term credit. The definition of money for money market purposes is not confined to bank notes but includes a range of assets that can be turned into cash at short notice, such as short-term government securities, bills of exchange, and bankers’ acceptances.

Every country with a monetary system of its own has to have some kind of market in which dealers in short-term credit can buy and sell. The need for such facilities arises in much the same way that a similar need does in connection with the distribution of any of the products of a diversified economy to their final users at the retail level.

To Buy Or Not To Buy: ‘How To Money’ Looks At The Housing Market & More

By Elroy Mariano 3 months ago

Spring is usually the busiest time for the housing market, but the coronavirus has changed that, too, and one listener asks Joel and Matt if they should buy now or wait until later. They’re already under contract, but have been advised that the market could be on a downturn, and if they wait, they could get a better price on the house. Not so fast, Joel says; while it’s true that banks have seen the lowest level of housing loan applications since 2015, that’s no indication that the market will change significantly, since housing inventory is still low. And right now, mortgage rates are incredibly low, so buying now with those rates could actually mean more savings in the long run than waiting for a cheaper price in the future. For that reason, refinancing an existing mortgage could be a good move, too. 

Another listener asks about the stimulus checks;

Money Market Funds: Risks and Benefits

By Elroy Mariano 3 months ago

Money market funds are mutual funds that investors typically use for relatively low-risk holdings in a portfolio. These funds typically invest in short-term debt instruments, and they pay out earnings in the form of a dividend. A money market fund is not the same as a money market account at a bank or credit union.

There’s a big difference between money market funds and money market accounts. Funds are mutual funds that invest in securities, and they can potentially lose value. Money market accounts are often FDIC insured bank accounts.

Money market funds often pay a monthly dividend, but some alternatives exist. 

Money market funds are a popular and useful cash management tool in the right circumstances. Before you use money market funds, make sure you understand how they work and the risks you might be taking.

Money market funds, sometimes called money funds, are a type of mutual fund developed in the 1970s as an option for investors to purchase a pool of securities that generally provided higher returns than interest-bearing bank accounts. Money market funds invest in high quality, short-term debt securities and pay dividends that generally reflect short-term interest rates. Many investors use money market funds to manage their cash and other short term funding needs.  They have since grown significantly and currently hold about $3.0 trillion in assets.

There are many kinds of money market funds, including ones that invest primarily in government securities, tax-exempt municipal securities, or corporate debt securities. Money market funds that primarily invest in corporate debt securities are referred to as prime funds. In addition, money market funds are often
