What is a money fund? Money fund is a low-risk and high-liquidity investment tool, and its main investment targets are short-term bonds and money market tools. The goal of the money fund is to obtain relatively stable returns by investing in high-credit, low-risk bonds and money market instruments, and to keep the net value of fund shares relatively stable. Monetary funds are usually issued and managed by fund management companies, and investors can buy fund shares at a lower amount.
The calculation method of money fund income mainly comes from the interest income of bonds and the spread income of money market instruments. The specific calculation method is as follows:
1. Interest income: The interest income of bonds held by the International Monetary Fund will be calculated according to the coupon rate of the bonds. Fund companies distribute the interest income of bonds to investors in proportion to their shareholding.
2. Spread income: Money market instruments are usually issued in the form of discount, and fund companies can buy the discounted instruments and get the face value at maturity. When the discount rate is low, the price purchased by the fund company is low, and the difference in face value obtained at maturity is the spread income.
3. Handling fee: The fund company will charge a management fee according to a certain proportion and deduct it directly from the net value of the fund.
The calculation method of money fund income is: interest income+spread income-handling fee.
