\"A near money market fund - Money market funds by charter must own ONLY short term investment grade commercial paper, government, and government backed debt with maturities of less than 90 days. But if you take just a little more risk, say maturities of over 90 days, you can often tack on .25% or more in yield. Technically an ultra short-term bond fund - think of it as an ultra, ultra short-term bond fund. SSgA Yield Plus is an example.\"

and from the SEC:

\"The Formation of the Fund

During the fall of 1993, CSFBIMC made plans to create, develop and market an unregistered offshore fund, eventually called the \"CS First Boston Offshore Cash Reserve Fund,\" designed for sophisticated institutional investors. Unlike a traditional money market fund subject to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the original concept of the Fund was to be an offshore, **near money market fund** with an enhanced yield, which would be obtained by investing in instruments with a longer weighted average maturity than the 90-day weighted average maturity required for Rule 2a-7 money market funds. CSFBIMC’s internal plan was to have the Fund’s securities portfolio consist of approximately 70% money market instruments and 30% securities with an average duration of approximately two years, with most of the longer-term portion of the portfolio invested in structured rate notes (\"SRNs\"), 3 which can be, and in this case were, volatile derivative securities. \"

If you have $5000 or more to invest and want to earn higher interest rates without locking your money away, then a Cash Management Account is the answer. Paying high yields of money market related interest rates, the Cash Management Account maximises your return, while providing easy access to your funds when you need them.

agree  Steffen Walter: Perhaps "money market and related" as the focus seems not only to be on m.m. deposits or securities. See also http://www.lazardnet.com/lam/de/pdfs/Money_Market_forum.pdf

instruments eligible for the money market


Explanation:
I'm not sure about this one but there is a term in Schaeffers that might be suitable:

geldmarktfähige Papiere npl
(Fin) paper eligible for the money market

Personally, I don't like "paper", which I'd replace by instruments or securities (in your example, it looks they only invest in bonds, but that might be a little too specific)

agree  TonyTK: That's what I'd call it too - only "Geldmarktnah" looks as if it might be a proper (and hence untranslatable) name.

  -> Yes, I thought about that too, but a gloss translation in parentheses to explain the name might not be a bad idea here.
