The Circular provides for the minimum credit rating of short-term financing bills in which a money market fund invests, while the domestic credit rating shall prevail over international credit rating. The percentage of the investment by a money market fund in the short-term financing bills and short-term corporate bonds issued by one company may not in total exceed 10% of the net value of the fund's assets. If the credit rating of short-term financing bills held by a money market fund drops, the fund shall fully divest itself of such bills within 20 trading days.
