Explorations Into Factors Explaining Money Market Returns.
Abstract
In this article, the authors measure and interpret the common 'factors' that describe money market returns. Results are presented for both three- and four-factor models. The authors find that the three-factor model explains, on average, 86 percent of the total variation in most money market returns while the four-factor model explains, on average, 90 percent of this variation. Using mimicking portfolios, they provide an interpretation of the systematic risks represented by these factors.
