2. Characteristics of money market funds: 1. The main difference between money market funds and other funds that invest in stocks lies in the capital of fund units.

The net output value is fixed, always 1 yuan. The fund reinvests in dividends, which makes the income accumulate continuously and increases the fund share owned by investors. 2. Good fluidity and high safety. Investors can redeem the fund at any time as needed. 3. Low risk. The term of money market instruments is usually very short, and the average term of investment portfolio is usually 4 ~ 6 months, so the risk is low, and its yield is usually only affected by market interest rate. 4. The investment cost is low. Money market funds do not charge subscription and redemption fees, and their management fees are also low. 5. Money market funds are usually regarded as risk-free investment tools, suitable for short-term investment and interest-bearing, and hold cash in the form of money market funds for emergencies.

For working-class people who are busy with their careers, if they spend a certain amount of idle funds every month to buy money market funds, the long-term accumulated compound interest return will be considerable. At the same time, it does not occupy funds like stocks and bonds, and can be converted into cash at any time. The turnover time is only one or two days, which is very convenient. Therefore, money funds, also known as "quasi-savings products", have the advantages of capital preservation, regular income and monthly dividends.

Risks and benefits of money market funds: Theoretically speaking, money market funds also have certain risks. There have been times when individual funds have a negative return of 10,000 units per day, but there has never been a time when the annualized rate of return of money market funds is negative on a certain day on the 7th. It can be clearly said that money market funds never have the risk of principal loss. It's just a question of the rate of return.
