Example
• Client invests $50 million in a prime money
market fund
• Prime fund yield is 35 basis points over
a government money market fund yield
• Client sells prime fund after 90 days for
a 3 basis point NAV loss (1.0002 versus 0.9999)
• Client records $15,000 loss on the sale and
$43,758.75 in earned interest
• The total return on the investment is
$38,758.75 over what would have been earned
during the same period in a stable NAV
government money market fund
• Thus a total % return of 0.23%

• The RRP has been instrumental in supporting the lower bound of the Fed Funds Target Range
and attempting to keeping a “floor” under some short term rates
• As some clients migrate out of Prime MMF and into Government MMF the demand for Government
assets might increase
• This increased demand could cause an increase in the utilization of the RRP

17. Diversification
• Typically a prime MMF portfolio manager will
own 3%–4% in a single credit name
• This would exclude repurchase agreements
backed by high quality liquid collateral (UST, GSE)
• So a typical portfolio might own 20–35 individual
credit names
• Bank Deposits show single counterparty credit risk
• Reliance on Bank regulation to ensure solid counter
party risk
• Significantly Important Financial Institution rules
ensure deposits remain at the top of the liability
capital structure
SEC mandates no single credit concentration of >5% in prime money market funds.
In the below example we used 4% exposure to individual credits in a prime fund
versus single credit exposure in a bank deposit.

18. Opportunity in Prime Assets?
Money Fund Investors are adjusting to the new rules governing SEC 2a-7 Money Market
Funds and we believe opportunities abound:
The Libor Curve has steepened
Short term credit investments have cheapened and have value to cash investors
Separately managed accounts and comingled funds not impacted reform can be a great buying opportunity
Liquidity rules that govern MMFs will provide a level of opportunity loss that non-MMF investors may be able
to take advantage of
Understanding your corporation’s cash flows is so valuable
Short Term Investment Funds or Separately Managed Accounts may offer a good balance of yield and liquidity

19GCB-1064

• The yield curve has steepened due to pending rule
changes and the demand for short term debt
(1 month) and lack of demand for longer term
debt (>2 months)

Benchmark Banks represent higher quality, more liquid banks trading at the tighter end of the range. Wider-trading banks represent lower quality,
less liquid banks trading at the wider end of the trading range.
6 month Floating Rate Note issuance levels spread to 1 month Libor
6-month maturities go over
MMF reform deadline
3-month maturities go over
MMF reform deadline
• Bank floating rate notes are a good indicator of credit conditions in the short term fixed income market
• Historically, post crisis, bank floating rate note spreads have traded close to Libor
• Because of the shortening of WAMs and WALs in Prime MMF there has been little demand for these
notes and thus significant increase in their spread to Libor
• Fundamental bank credit conditions continue to be strong but MMF technicals are causing the
spread to widen
• Investors not affected by the SEC’s MMF reform are benefitting from the increase in spreads

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
The above projected yields are estimates based on certain assumptions and analysis made by SSGA. There is no guarantee that the estimates will be achieved.
• Many US Investors are watching
to see how wide the spread in yield
will go before they make their
investment decision
• Some prime and government fund
yield spreads got as wide as 20–25
basis points
• The average was 17 basis points
before it began to compress due
to increased weekly liquidity and
shortening WAM and WAL
• Some investors are showing renewed
interest in prime fund strategies due
to the increase in the yield spread
over government strategies
