Definition
Money Market Fund Assets refers to term low-risk vehicles, providing insight into liquidity preference, deposit substitution, and defensive positioning. Keep that definition fixed when comparing series, managers, or regimes — renaming the same tape does not create a new signal.

When term low-risk vehicles, providing insight into liquidity preference, deposit substitution, and defensive positioning shifts, related hedges, limits, and narratives usually need an explicit update rather than a quiet assumption.
Case

If term low-risk vehicles, providing insight into liquidity preference, deposit substitution, and defensive positioning moves against that book, the first question is not “is the story clever?” but whether size, hedges, and stop logic still match the observation.
