Beginning in 2011, the total value of money market funds (MMFs) amounted to over three trillion U.S. dollars in the United States. The majority of this amount was accounted for by prime funds up until 2016. From 2011 through to 2016, the MMFs primarily allocated assets to prime and government funds. The overall value of MMFs more than doubled from 2011 to 2024 as the net inflow increased by approximately 3.6 trillion U.S. dollars.

From 2020 to 2024, assets allocated to government no fee and gates funds had an inflow of nearly four trillion U.S. dollars. Beginning in 2016, North America's domiciled government no fees and gates funds accounted for over 80 percent of the total asset allocation. This amount soon increased with total assets of government no fees and gates reaching over 4.43 trillion U.S. dollars by May 2024.

Fund flow to U.S. government fees & gates money market funds (MMFs) remained relatively low from 2021 to 2024. A peak level of fund inflow was reached in September 2016 when assets allocation exceeded 505 billion U.S. dollars. Most of that amount was allocated to funds domiciled in North America, with roughly 62 billion U.S. dollars worth of assets resting in European domicile funds. The following month, there was a large net outflow as the level of assets allocated to government fees & gates MMFs fell to approximately 28.8 billion U.S. dollars. What is a government money market fund? Government U.S.-based money market funds primarily allocate assets to securities backing cash, government securities, and repurchase agreements. Often liquidity fees are imposed to discourage outflows resulting from investors withdrawing their funds. Similarly, redemption gates are established to reduce the potential of forced sales. Government funds labeled no fees and gates provide an exemption from this. How are fees and gates useful? MMFs are highly liquid mutual funds and often offer higher interest rates than saving accounts. This is mainly due to asset allocation in high-quality, short-term debt securities offering a favorable yield. While MMFs do tend to require a minimum account balance they usually do not carry an entrance or exit charge. During times of market instability, MMF managers may use fees and gates as a tool to aid in creating solidity.

From 2011 to 2024, assets allocated to government money market funds (MMFs) were primarily domiciled in North America. Roughly 4.7 trillion U.S. dollars worth of assets were allocated to North American-backed cash, government securities, and repurchase agreements in 2024. Following MMF reforms, new fund classifications were introduced. This seems to have led to the net outflow of assets from the fund category "government MMF" and asset reallocation to government MMFs either excluding or including fees and gates.

The net cash flow figure, which reflects the investor demand for mutual funds, is calculated as new cash inflow less cash outflow. In 2023, cash intflow to money market funds amounted to 957 billion U.S. dollars, while equity, bond and hybrid funds saw net outflows of nearly 0.7 trillion U.S. dollars.

Over the 12 months to May 31, 2024, net fund flows for the investment fund industry were highest towards taxable bonds, with net inflows of around 36.2 billion U.S. dollars. This is perhaps not surprising given the category covers the majority of national and corporate bonds, with the former in particular being a common asset to invest in during times of crisis. Conversely, net outflows were one of the highest for senior equity, with an outflow of around 4.7 million U.S. dollars for this asset class.
