Money market mutual fund assets totaled $2.97 trillion as of July 21, down from $3.66 trillion at the same point a year ago, according to the Investment Company Institute (ICI). Strategic Insight reported that investors redeemed $502 billion from money market funds in the first half of 2010, up from $176 billion in the first half of 2009, according to SmartMoney.com. The average taxable money market fund yields just 0.04%, according to iMoneyNet.com. Many vendors have been waiving fees in this low-rate climate.
