News summary by MFWire's editors

The Federal Reserve thinks money market funds may be hurting the banking system, according to a Wall Street Journal article.

As you might guess, the Investment Company Institute disagreed with the findings.

“This Fed paper is a theoretical study, offering no data to back its conclusions,” an ICI spokeswoman told the Journal.
