How Safe is Your 401(k) Plan?s Money Market Fund?

Money market funds have always provided refuge from the storm in a market crisis, but CFOs who have fiduciary responsibility for their company’s 401(k) plan may be questioning the safety of their plan’s money market fund these days. Many of the funds hold commercial paper and other short-term debt instruments tied to ailing financial powerhouses such as Lehman and AIG. And the seemingly unthinkable has already happened: one large money market fund, the Reserve Primary Fund, announced that it lost capital due to the Lehman securities it held, breaking the sacred $1 per share net asset value (NAV). This marks the first time that a money market fund “broke the buck” in 14 years, according to The Wall Street Journal. S & P subsequently put nine other money funds sponsored by the company on credit watch for possible downgrades.

Exhibition preview: Suki Chan, Manchester

A swarm of starlings returns at dusk to roost in the skeleton of a ruined pier. Suki Chan's video installation amplifies the melancholic atmosphere of the image. The pier stands on the weather-beaten interface of industry and nature, of manmade structures and the oceanic wildness. In a complementary projection, a rammed-earth roundhouse used as a temporary refuge by the nomadic Hakkas of south-west China stands as a nesting image of traditional community spirit. Set off against each other, the films conjure a poignant mood of transience, of migrations, of time's passing and life passing away.
