Abstract

Standing at $7 trillion, the total assets under management of US money market funds (MMFs) are at record levels, and so is their lending to banks and non-bank financial intermediaries (NBFIs). In this note we update Aldasoro and Doerr (2023) with data up to February 2025, with a focus on lending to NBFIs-in particular hedge funds-and potential financial stability risks.

Keywords: money market funds, sponsored repo, repo, FICC, NBFI, shadow banks, hedge funds, basis trade
