What are money market funds?

If you are investing for a short period of time, then a money market fund is a useful low-risk way of generating return on your capital. The rate of return will vary depending on short-term interest rates but is usually better than instant access cash in a bank account with the benefit of being immediately available if you need the money.

When investing, your capital is at risk. Investments can fall and rise and you may get back less than you invested.
