Cash alternative at a valuable price
The Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund is a liquid investment that offers the potential for added yield to cash balances that may be needed in the short-term. Its low expense ratio (0.25% compared to 0.90% industry average)B, allows investors to receive the benefit of increased yield at a low cost. Every basis point saved in fund expense is a basis point that can be added to fund performance.
Market update

The Payden Cash Reserves Money Market Fund was well-positioned to protect shareholders from the changes in the bond market during the first quarter. The global flight to quality intensified as the lack of liquidity in the capital markets manifested itself in a broad deleveraging of risk. The US Federal Reserve responded with 2.25% in rate cuts and three new lending programs.

The fund was structured with an average days to maturity of 25 days. The fund’s allocation to US government-sponsored agency notes was increased during the period as yields in this area became attractive in the wake of heavy agency issuance. The fund’s government focus provided a high level of safety through this stressed environment.
