Public Debt CNAV

Money market funds.

A constant net asset value (CNAV) per share money market fund, substantially invested in public debt.

At least 99.5% of the portfolio must be invested in public debt securities, reverse repo secured with government securities, and cash.

Money market fund (MMF) reforms

"Full implementation of MMF reforms won't take place until February 2019, but treasurers need to start preparing for the replacement of [prime] constant net asset value (CNAV) funds with two new categories:

- the Public Debt CNAV fund, and

- the low-volatility NAV (LNAV) fund.

According to research from rating agency Moody's, LVNAV MMFs are likely to attract most of the funds currently invested in prime CNAV MMFs."
