Currently the Money Market Funds offer better returns than the T-Bills. Bonds require long term investment, which is money you don't need in the medium term.

Top MMFs are Amana Capital, Zimele, CIC, Madison Asset, Britam & GenCap.



Where do the MMF's invest these funds?

In Treasury Bills and Bonds of course and diversify to include commercial paper and off-shore investments. But if they offer better returns than the T-bills and bonds, why not get them and then move your money into the T-bills when the returns are better, it is easier to break the MMF holdings than the T-bills.

How can they be investing in TBills and bonds and offer better returns. That does not make sense.

you dont necessarily need your own CDS account, banks act as agents and you could buy bills/bonds under a banks client account
