Money Market funds are designed to be a safe place to park your savings temporarily while offering immediate access and higher interest than you’d get with cash. But there are some worries that these funds could trigger a cash crash. In this video I look at whether money markets are safe and what could go wrong. The biggest risk isn’t what you might think!
