Matrix Doubles Down on Money Markets


Matrix Settlement & Clearance Services' Money Fund Monitor just got bigger. On Wednesday the Denver-based revealed a number of enhancements to the product, with the help of the money fund specialists at iMoneyNet.

The beefed-up online service now includes a wealth of data on yields, assets, maturity duration, performance rankings, market share, portfolio composition and more.

Matrix Money Market Portal program manager Michael Rice described the move as a way to cater to "the need to understand the management and composition of a money fund portfolio and perform some level of due-diligence."

Company Press Release

Denver, CO, January 21, 2009 – Matrix Settlement & Clearance Services, LLC (Matrix), a Matrix Financial Solutions affiliate company, and leading provider of mutual fund execution and settlement services, today announced an expansion of its Money Market Portal product, Money Fund Monitor. Developed in conjunction with iMoneyNet, a leading provider of money-market mutual fund information and analysis, Money Fund Monitor™ is a browser-based, comprehensive source for daily money fund information. Highlights of Money Fund Monitor include:

  • Daily 1, 7 and 30 -day yields, assets, average maturities
  • Daily and weekly top-performing retail and institutional tables
  • Weekly market share rankings
  • Commentary on industry trends and important events
  • Portfolio composition
  • Fund fact sheets
  • Daily, weekly and monthly Money Fund Report Averages™

    Also available is the Money Fund Report Averages, which is becoming a widely- used performance benchmarking tool in the world of cash investing. "Many cash and liquidity managers use a variety of other index tools to benchmark a money market portfolio, but we believe it is important to have a full analysis of the marketplace," said Jay McLaughlin, Account Manager at iMoneyNet.

    "The money fund marketplace has changed and it is more important than ever before to have access to information when selecting money funds. Not only are institutions facing increasing pressure to find the best yields, but the need to understand the management and composition of a money fund portfolio and perform some level of due-diligence is increasingly important," says Michael Rice, Program Manager for the Matrix Money Market Portal.

    Helping financial institutions efficiently handle daily trading activity is the hallmark of the Matrix business model. The Matrix Money Market Portal service follows that objective by providing a variety of recognized money market products in a same-day trading environment, and using state-of-the-art automation features, including, reporting, confirmation, and reconciliation tools.
