Quibble: There are Treasury money-market funds with the same tax advantages (just pay attention to the government obligation percentages when you do your taxes), and basically the same yields, because that is in fact what they're doing under the hood. And they can be a little easier to deal with than putting a ladder together yourself. E.g., FZFXX, SNSXX, VUSXX.
- ryandrake 3y agoAbsolutely and yes they're convenient. It comes down to personal preference. I don't feel like paying someone to create a ladder for me, at least not 20-30 basis points. Most people would be fine with the funds, too.
