How money market funds help grow your cash

As an investor, you don't have to leave your cash savings uninvested. Sam Benstead, ii's Fixed Income Expert, explains the benefits of keeping a portion of your portfolio in a money market fund.

"Professional fund managers have an array of options to generate a cash-like return on your behalf via money market funds. 

For a low fee, they put your cash to work in a diversified pot of ultra-safe bonds that are about to mature, as well as in overnight deposit accounts and other short-term savings instruments offered by banks. 

Yields are normally just above the Bank of England interest rate, which can be really competitive compared with putting your money in a savings account."

Money market funds may be lower risk than some other funds, but they are still an investment. Unlike cash deposits, you may not get back all the money you invest.
