Your investment strategy should be driven by multiple factors, each of which deserve a careful thought. Personal goals, investment objectives, and the ability to assume risks are essential deliberations in constructing a sound investment strategy. Fixed income strategies may not sound appealing to most young people and one of the main reasons is the lack of education and/or information on fixed income securities and investments.

CDs and Money market funds are both considered short term safe investment options. CDs offer a slightly higher yield than Treasury bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank but, overall, the likelihood that a large bank will go broke is pretty slim.

On the other hand, Money market mutual funds are a type of mutual fund consisting of high quality, short-term debt instruments such as Treasury bills and short term corporate IOUs. Like all mutual funds, money market mutual fund (MMMF) portfolios are professionally managed and a management fee is charged against fund assets to cover this expense.
