Crane Data's latest monthly Money Fund Portfolio Holdings statistics will be sent out Thursday, and we'll be writing our regular monthly update on the new April 30 data for Friday's News. But we also already uploaded a separate and broader Portfolio Holdings data set based on the SEC's Form N-MFP filings on Wednesday. (We continue to merge the two series, and the N-MFP version is now available via our Portfolio Holdings file listings to Money Fund Wisdom subscribers.) Our new N-MFP summary, with data as of April 30, includes holdings information from 972 money funds (down 3 from last month), representing assets of $6.425 trillion (down from $6.492 trillion). Prime MMFs inched down to $1.377 trillion (down $25.9 billion), or 21.4% of the total. (Note too that there were no funds reclassifying away from "Prime" in the SEC's latest monthly data set.) We review the new N-MFP data, and we also look at our revised MMF expense data, which shows charged expenses inching higher and money fund revenues hitting a record $17.3 billion (annualized) in April.
