Money Fund Expense Report™
Money Fund Expense Report™, issued quarterly, made its initial appearance as a Special Report (“Money Fund Expense Ratios Today”) for Money Fund Report® subscribers in October 1987. MFER now collects expense ratios, gross and net total returns, and assets for nearly 1,700 U.S. money-market mutual funds. Each issue presents tables showing trends in charged-expense levels since the same year-ago quarter and compares the percentage of funds waiving all or a portion of fund expenses over a four-year time frame.
Features
