Abstract
The Commission is adopting amendments to rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 that govern money market funds. The amendments tighten the risk-limiting conditions imposed on tax exempt money market funds by rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940; impose additional disclosure requirements on tax exempt funds; and make certain other changes applicable to all money market funds. The amendments are designed to reduce the likelihood that a tax exempt fund will not be able to maintain a stable net asset value.
