Money market funds
Government funds dominate the US money-market fund complex
Every US money market fund files a monthly portfolio report on SEC Form N-MFP. This page aggregates those filings into the industry picture: $8.44 trillion in net assets across 293 funds as of June 2026, split by fund category, by what the funds hold, and by how long they lend. Government funds run $6.89T (82% of the complex), prime funds $1.39T, tax-exempt funds $154B. Aggregates only, computed at build and reconciled to the SEC's own Money Market Fund Statistics report.

Reproducing the SEC's own report
The SEC's Division of Investment Management publishes Money Market Fund Statistics from the same Form N-MFP filings. Aggregating the raw filings ourselves for May 2026, the latest month the SEC has published, reproduces its net-asset table to the report's printed precision, and its fund counts exactly (290 funds, 32 feeder funds excluded).

| Government | $6863.3B | $6863.3B |
| Prime | $1372.2B | $1372.2B |

Money-fund assets
Money-fund assets grew 67% to a record $8.44T
Monthly US net assets by fund category in USD trillions, from June 2022 (the first fully reported month in the N-MFP data sets) to June 2026. The complex started at $5.04T, and the Fed's 2022-2023 hikes pulled cash into funds paying money-market rates. Government funds dominate throughout, 81% of assets at the start and 82% now; prime funds are 17% in June 2026 and peaked at $1.41T in March 2024. The March 2023 bank stress is visible as a one-month jump into government funds after Silicon Valley Bank failed. The 2016 reform-era rotation out of prime predates this window and shows on /funding.

Money-fund portfolios
Treasury and agency debt plus repo dominate money-fund portfolios
Monthly US aggregate portfolio value by instrument class in USD trillions through June 2026 with direct Treasury and agency debt at $4.49T and repurchase agreements at $3.07T. Prime-fund instruments are the smaller lines: commercial paper ($314B) and certificates of deposit and time deposits ($307B). Municipal holdings are the tax-exempt funds' variable-rate demand notes and tender-option bonds. Values are gross portfolio value (Item C.6), slightly above net assets.
Source: SEC, Form N-MFP Data Sets (DERA) Portfolio value per holding (Item C.6, excluding sponsor support) is summed by investment category (Item C.7), ex-feeder, plus fund cash (Item A.14.a). The five named classes and the Other-and-cash residual sum to total portfolio value. Methodology
Category detail and maturity
The June 2026 snapshot by category, with the weighted-average maturity (WAM, Item A.11) and weighted-average life (WAL, Item A.12) the funds report, net-asset-weighted. Government funds run the longest book (WAM 39 days, WAL 92 days) because agency floaters and longer repo lift WAL; prime funds sit at WAM 37 days; tax-exempt funds are the shortest, WAM 28 days, being mostly daily and weekly variable-rate paper. Rule 2a-7 caps a fund's WAM at 60 days and WAL at 120 days.
| Category | Net assets | Share | Funds | WAM (days) | WAL (days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Government | $6.89T | 81.7% | 214 | 39 | 92 |
| Prime | $1.39T | 16.5% | 38 | 37 | 56 |
| Tax Exempt | $0.15T | 1.8% | 41 | 28 | 29 |
| All MMFs | $8.44T | 100.0% | 293 | 38 | 85 |
