Investors Flock to Money Market Funds Due to Higher Yields
Imagine you have money you want to invest for a short time.
Money market funds are like special savings accounts that invest in short-term things like government bonds.
In July, lots of people put money into these funds because they offered better returns than other options, like liquid funds.
This shift happened because the money market funds were paying out more interest.
Experts think this trend will continue as interest rates are expected to stay steady.
These funds are also attractive because they have lower volatility and are seen as a safe way to manage money for a short while.

Money market funds held assets worth Rs 3.37 lakh crore as of July 31.
