Lowest credit risk among MMFs.  \n- **Prime funds** \u2013 include corporate or bank debt (commercial paper, etc). More yield, but slightly more risk.  \n- **Municipal funds** \u2013 short-term muni debt; often tax-exempt, depending on state.\n\nU.S. government money market funds are widely considered among the safest. ([schwab.com](https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/what-are-money-market-funds-and-how-do-they-work?msockid=204644d037cf6a56238e522d36696b90&utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udcca Recent yields & fund options (as of May 12, 2026)\n\nHere are some Schwab tickers. I focused on those with decent yields *and* relatively low risk. Make sure any quoted yield still applies at the moment you\u2019re looking.\n\n| Ticker | Fund Name | Rough 7-Day Yield* | Key Features / Safety Remarks |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **SNVXX** | Schwab Government Money Fund \u2013 Investor Shares | ~ 3.36% | Government fund; no minimum for retail investors. ([schwabassetmanagement.com](https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/money-fund-yields?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **SNOXX** | Schwab Treasury Obligations Money Fund \u2013 Investor Shares | ~ 3.35% | Invests in Treasury goods/repurchase agreements. Very safe. ([schwabassetmanagement.com](https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/money-fund-yields?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **SWVXX** | Schwab Prime Advantage Money Fund \u2013 Investor Shares | ~ 3.46% | Prime fund; more yield, bit more risk (corporates included). ([schwabassetmanagement.com](https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/money-fund-yields?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n\\* Yields are approximate \u201c7-day yield (with waivers)\u201d as reported on May 12, 2026. Actual yield will vary. ([schwabassetmanagement.com](https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/money-fund-yields?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Want lower risk?\n\nIf you prefer safer and can accept slightly lower returns, go with something like:\n\n- **SNSXX** \u2014 *Schwab U.S. Treasury Money Fund (Investor Shares)*. This one invests purely in instruments backed by the full faith & credit of the U.S. Treasury for the safest exposure short of FDIC insured cash. ([schwab.com](https://www.schwab.com/money-market-funds?msockid=1e015b0bf15a6df4197a4d8cf0666c7a&utm_source=openai))\n\nNote: Even with government funds, these are still *not* FDIC insured. They\u2019re securities, not bank deposits. ([chase.com](https://www.chase.com/personal/investments/learning-and-insights/article/can-you-lose-money-in-a-money-market-fund?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Summary\n\nIf I were you and wanted a strong mix of safety + yield:\n\n- **Best balance**: SNVXX or SNOXX  \n- **Highest yield** (accepting slightly more risk): SWVXX  \n- **Maximum safety**: SNSXX  \n\nIf you tell me your target yield or risk tolerance (how much drawdown or credit risk you're willing to accept), I can narrow the list even more."
