NEW Money Market Funds On Trading 212!

In today’s video we’re going to be touching on a new investment option on the Trading 212 app called Money Market Funds. Money Market Funds are a way for investors to invest their cash in a low risk way. Money Market Funds are rather attractive to investors currently due to central bank rates being high, meaning yields on these funds can be upwards of 4.5%, and Trading 212 are about to launch a new money market fund feature to allow you to capitalise from the upside too.

    Great informative video. I currently have multiple isa accounts which I DCA into weekly, however I do tend to have standing cash in these accounts. If I hold for example 5k in my vanguard acct would it make sense to allocate this to the fund you discussed to utilise the interest benefit, then convert back to cash to purchase my etf’s weekly? The one thing I would like to clarify is, does the MMF discussed have a minimum maturity date or can you buy and sell at your convenience without compromising the interest gained? Thanks.

    What are your thoughts on multisector bond mutual funds like CBLDX for example? While it isn't the same as a money market fund the volatility on this one seems low & the dividend is significantly higher.

    Just what the doctor ordered.Very clear, simple to understand explanation of this product. I wonder if you might do the same for Bonds or gilts. I've watched a few videos on this subject but I'm still not clear about how they work. They certainly don't seem to be simple.I don't see where the attraction is in Bonds.They seem so volatile.

    Really interesting. Thank you. In terms of tax, would gains made in this way be treated as interest on savings (so a personal savings allowance of £1k, or £500 depending on tax band) or is this taxed as capital gains (with the allowance soon to be cut to £3k)?

  • @MitchShoesmith

    It doesn’t count as personal savings as money market funds are classified as an investment. Any money made through a stocks and shares ISA which is what I use is tax free. Anything in a general investment account would be subject to normal capital gains tax.

    If I have a T212 ISA and opt-in for the extra interest, does that remain within the ISA wrapper or does it create a separate Investment Account within T212 outside of that ISA wrapper? If everything stays within the ISA thats great, then when buying say more ETF shares within my ISA it just decrements from the available higher rate earning uninvested cash.

    On T212 does the interest paid out daily (with this new 4/5% interest) into uninvested cash create a compound effect then? eg. Day 1: £10 counts toward daily interest. pays out say 1p for ~4%APR. Day 2: £10.01 counts toward daily interest? Or would it always be my £10 cash deposit that counts.

  • @MitchShoesmith

    @MitchShoesmith

    My understanding is that your first assumption is correct. It’s on the total uninvested cash balance, which includes the increase in interest payments being paid out too, meaning yes it would compound how you’ve explained.

    Yes it counts, thing is the percentage they have given is considering the compounding so daily pay out is technically less than the percent given divided by 365.

    Hello! Love the vids! I’m confused, at the beginning, all those “bonds”. I can’t get my head around what a bond is. Why would I invest in a vanguard bond, when I can do an index fund etf vanguard like sp500? Thanks ☺️

  • @MitchShoesmith

    @MitchShoesmith

    5 ай бұрын

    In simple terms a bond is buying corporate or government debt. It allows companies and governments to raise money and in return they provide you (the investor) a fixed rate of return. They’re typically low risk if you invest in high quality credit quality bonds so are seen to be low risk, low return investments - ideal for the more cautious investor. However like you say, ETFs like the S&P500 have provided historically far greater returns than the bond market, so it just comes down to risk appetite and your investment strategy. Hope that helps!

    I’d personally keep an emergency fund in a high interest rate savings account. Money market funds are a low risk option for your investments, which should be a separate pool of money to emergency funds/savings IMO.

    My big question is, if yields drop, can I lose money in the money market, or is it just that the yield comes down? Is there a risk of 10k sat in the money market dropping to 9k if yields drop? or is it just the interest paid that will drop?

    Hi Tom, if yields fall you’ll go from receiving interest of 5% to say 3% for example, the value of your money stays the same you’ll just receive lower interest. Hope that makes sense!

    I should probably distinguish between savings accounts and money market funds, money market funds shouldn’t really be classified as a “savings” account, and instead should be seen as part of your investment portfolio allocation. Some use it as a stop gap between selling and buying shares/ETFs etc… and should only really be used as a short term mechanism to obtain a rate of return on uninvested funds. I’m sure you can get higher rates of interest in savings accounts with banks, where the purpose of those accounts should be treated differently to the money market funds available. Hope that clears things up!
