Chuck Jaffe: There’s No Profit For You — Or Fund Companies — In Money Funds

FYI: Financial-services companies don’t usually walk away from money, typically they’re known for pursuing dumb strategies or keeping bad funds open for as long as there’s a buck in it.

So when Reich & Tang Asset Management announced last week that it’s liquidating its money-market funds, it should have fired alarm bells with investors who use money funds as a safe haven for cash.
Regards,
Ted
