Treasury money market funds

msf
edited June 20 in Fund Discussions
Looking for a replacement for VUSXX, since I'm leaving Vanguard, I worked up this table of Treasury MMFs. I included last year's fraction of income that was state exempt. If it isn't over half then (a) none of the income is state-exempt in Calif, NY, or Conn. and (b) one might do better after tax (in all states) in a general government fund.

Thinking in terms of a taxable account, ISTM the best funds at E*Trade are GABXX ($10K min) and VUSXX (80% exempt in 2023). The best funds at Merrill may be UTIXX (99.3% exempt) and TTTXX (94% exempt).

    Two thoughts, buy VUSXX at next stop or purchase your own T-bills, notes & claim 100% to do better on state taxes. Nice chart !
  • MrRufflesMrRuffles
    I was just looking at GABXX for my MMF at E*Trade - it looks like a better choice than either VUSXX or VMRXX (available at E*Trade NTF with $3k min) since it’s 100% exempt as its portfolio is exclusively T-Bills.
  • Derf
    @MrRuffles That's 10K, your glasses must have slipped ? Guessing $10 K wouldn't be a problem.
  • MrRufflesMrRuffles
    @Derf It may not have been clear that I was referring to VMRXX with the $3k min as it’s unusual to find VG Admiral shares available at third-party brokers, let alone NTF.
  • Derf
    Sorry @MrRuffles it doesn't read that way to me, Strike ONE. Thanks for VG info at other Brokers, as I have VG account, weather that be good or bad.
    Have a good weekend, Derf
