Money market funds (MMFs) invest in short-term assets with an investment objective to offer return in line with money market rates and/or preserve the value of the investment. Money market funds can be structured as UCITS or as alternative investment funds (AIFs).
Three types of money market funds exist under the Money Market Fund Regulation: public debt constant net asset value funds, low volatility net asset value funds, and variable net asset value funds (VNAV) (which can be short-term VNAV or standard VNAV).
