Frequently asked questions

What is a money market fund?

A money market fund is an investment fund that invests in short-term, high-quality debt instruments (T-bills, repos, commercial paper). Its goal is to preserve capital and deliver a stable return linked to short-term interest rates.

Are money market funds safe?

Money market funds are not covered by deposit guarantee schemes. However, they invest in high credit quality assets and have historically very low risk of losses. They are not as safe as a bank deposit, but considerably safer than equities.

What tax advantage do they have over deposits?

Spanish-domiciled investment funds allow you to transfer capital to another fund without triggering a tax event on accumulated gains. This defers tax until final redemption — a significant advantage for long-term investors who plan to reinvest.

What are current money market fund yields?

With the ECB around 2.5-3%, EUR money market funds currently yield between 2.2% and 2.8% net of fees annually — comparable to the best savings accounts, with the added benefit of daily liquidity and potential tax deferral.
