Money market funds sometimes get a bad rap – they can be viewed as boring. Across the whole investment universe, investors have a vast array of choices: any number of asset classes that seek to balance risk with reward and offer the potential for higher returns.

Geldmärkte auf stabilem Kurs

Die Auswirkungen von US-Präsident Trumps „Liberation Day“-Zöllen auf den breiten Finanzmarkt sowie die darauffolgenden Änderungen und jüngsten Verzögerungen waren von seismischem Ausmaß, aber nicht unbedingt für den Liquiditätsbereich.
