A managed fund which invests in money market instruments.


Profit margins are usually expressed as a percentage of revenues, for example in the Net profit margin.
Some money market funds are structured as 'liquid' money market funds, designed to be lower risk managed funds by - among other features - investing only in liquid money market instruments of the highest credit quality.


Other money market funds seek to provide higher average expected income through a longer dated, higher risk and less liquid portfolio.


Less commonly, margins can also be expressed as a margin (percentage) on relevant costs.


Gross profit measured as a percentage of costs is also sometimes known as ''markup'', an amount added to costs to determine a selling price.
