Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Money market funds (MMF) provide short-term finance to financial institutions, corporates or governments. By providing finance to these entities, money market funds contribute to the financing of the European economy. Such entities use their investments in MMFs as an efficient way to spread their credit risk and exposure, rather than solely relying on bank deposits.

(10) In the absence of a Regulation setting out rules on MMFs, diverging measures might continue to be adopted at national level, which would continue to cause significant distortions of competition resulting from important differences in essential investment protection standards. Diverging requirements on portfolio composition, eligible assets, their maturity, liquidity and diversification, as well as on credit quality of issuers of money market instruments lead to different levels of investor protection because of the different levels of risk attached to the investment proposition associated with a money market fund. The failure to adopt strict common rules applicable to MMFs in the internal market prevents uniform investor protection and gives investors different incentives to redeem their investments and thereby trigger a run. It is therefore essential to avoid contagion into the short term funding market and to the sponsors of the MMF which would largely put at risk the stability of the Union's financial market by adopting a uniform set of rulesIt is therefore essential to adopt a uniform set of rules in order to avoid contagion into the short term funding market and to the sponsors of the MMF which would largely put at risk the stability of the Union's financial market. In order to mitigate systemic risk, Constant Net Asset Value MMFs (CNAV MMFs) should only be operated in the Union as a (1) Government CNAV MMF, (2) Retail CNAV MMF or (3) a Low Volatility NAV MMF from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. All references in this Regulation to CNAV MMFs relate to Government CNAV MMFs, Retail CNAV MMFs and Low Volatility NAV MMFs unless otherwise specified. Existing CNAV MMFs may also choose to operate as variable net asset value MMFs (VNAV MMFs) instead.

(22) Money market instruments are transferable instruments normally dealt in on the money market, as treasury and local authority bills, certificates of deposits, commercial papers, certain types of high quality asset backed securities, bankers' acceptances or medium- or short-term notes. They should be eligible for investment by MMFs only insofar as they comply with maturity limits or in the case of asset backed securities are eligible as high quality assets according to the liquidity rules in part six of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and are considered by the MMF to be of high credit quality.

(23) ACertain asset Bbacked Commercial Papers (ABCPs)securities that are of major significance for the real economy should be considered eligible money market instruments to the extent that they arespect additional requirements. Due to the fact that dur eligible as high quality liquid assets according to the liquidity rules in part six of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, specified ing the crisis certain securitisations were particularly unstable, it is necessary to impose maturity limits and quality criteria on the underlying assets. Not all categories of underlying assets should be eligible because some were more confrontedCommission delegated regulation (EU) No ... to supplement Regulation (EU) 575/2013 with regard to liquidity coverage requirement for Credit Institutions based on Article 460 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. This shall apply for qualified high quality liquid asset backed securities comprising one of the following subcategories of securitised underlying assets as referred to in Article 13, para. 2 (g) in point (iii) or (iv) of the Commission delegated regulation (EU) No ... to supplement Regulation (EU) 575/2013, namely auto loans and/or auto leases to borrowers or lessees established or resident in a Member State as referred to in point (iv) or commercial loans, leases or credit facilities to undertakings established in a Member State to finstabilityance capital expenditures or business operations other than others. For this reason the underlying assets should be exclusively composed of short-term debt instruments that have been issued by corporates in the course of their business activity, such as trade receivables. Instruments such as auto loans and leases, equipment leases, consumer loans, residential mortgage loans, credit card receivables or any other type of instrument linked to the acquisition or financing of services or goods by consumers should not be eligible. ESMA should be entrusted with drafting regulatory technical standards to be submitted for endorsement by the Commission with regard to the conditions and circumstances under which the underlying exposure or pool of exposures is considered to exclusively consist of corporate debt and the conditions and numerical thresholds determining when corporate debt is of high credit quality and liquid. acquisition or the development of commercial real estate as referred to in point (iii). The reference to certain subcategories of securitised underlying assets as referred to in the delegated regulation (EU) No ... to supplement Regulation (EU) 575/2013 is important to ensure a uniform definition of eligible underlying securitised assets for the purpose of the liquidity regulations for credit institutions and this regulation which in turn is of importance for the liquidity of such instruments to avoid impediments to real economy securitisations. Asset Backed Commercial Papers (ABCPs) should be considered eligible money market instruments to the extent that they respect additional requirements. Due to the fact that during the crisis certain securitisations were particularly unstable, it is necessary to impose quality criteria on the underlying assets. ESMA should be entrusted with drafting regulatory technical standards to be submitted for endorsement by the Commission with regard to the conditions determining when debt is of high credit quality.

(35) In order to strengthen MMFs' ability to face redemptions and prevent MMFs assets from being liquidated at heavily discounted prices, MMFs should hold on an on-going basis a minimum amount of liquid assets that mature daily or weekly. To calculate the proportion of daily and weekly maturing assets, the legal redemption date of the asset should be used. The possibility for the manager to terminate a contract on a short term basis can be taken into consideration. For instance, if a reverse repurchase agreement can be terminated with a one day prior notice, it should count as a daily maturing asset. If the manager has the possibility to withdraw money from a deposit account with a one day prior notice, it can count as a daily maturing asset. Government securities may be included as daily maturing assets, where a MMF Manager has determined the government securities to be of high credit quality.

(39) It is important thatTo avoid the risk management of MMFs not bebeing biased by short-term decisions influenced by the possible rating of the MMF. Therefore, it is necessary to prohibit a MMF or its manager from requesting that the MMF is rated by a credit rating agency in order to avoid that this, controls shall be put in place to ensure the fairness and transparency of any external credit rating of the MMF on which investors in the MMF may seek to rely. Where a MMF seeks an external rating this used for marketing purposes. The MMF or its manager should also refrain from using alternative methods for obtaining a rating of the MMFwill be subject to and carried out in accordance with the requirements of the national competent authority of the credit rating agency. Should the MMF be awarded an unsolicited external rating, either on the own initiative of the credit rating agency or following request by a third party that is independent of the MMF or the manager and which does not act on behalf of any of them, the MMF manager should refrain from relying on criteria that would be attached to that external rating. For ensuring appropriate liquidity management it is necessary that the MMFs establish sound policies and procedures to know their investors. The policies that the manager has to put in place should help understanding the MMF's investor base, to the extent that large redemptions could be anticipated. In order to avoid that the MMF faces sudden massive redemptions, particular attention should be paid to large investors representing a substantial portion of the MMF's assets, as with one investor representing more than the proportion of daily maturing assets. In this case the MMF should increase its proportion of daily maturing assets to the proportion of that investor. The manager should whenever possible look at the identity of the investors, even if they are represented by nominee accounts, portals or any other indirect buyer.

(41) In order to reflect the actual value of assets, the use of marking to market should be the preferred method for valuing the assets of MMFs. A manager should not be allowed to use the marking to model valuation method when marking to market provides a reliable value of the asset, as the mark to model method is prone to provide less accurate valuation. Assets such as treasury and local authority bills, medium- or short-term notes are generally the ones that are expected to have a reliable marking to market. For valuing commercial papers or certificates of deposit, the manager should check if accurate pricing is provided by a secondary market. The buy- back price offered by the issuer should also be considered to represent a good estimate of the value of the commercial paper. In all other cases tThe manager should estimate the value, for example using market data such as yields on comparable issues and comparable issuers and/or use the internationally regarded amortised cost accounting method as set out under recognised international accounting standards.

(45) In order to be able to absorb day-to- day fluctuations in the value of a CNAV MMF's assets and allow it to offer a constant NAV per unit or share, the CNAV MMF should have at all times a NAV buffer amounting to at least 3% of its assets. The NAV buffer should serve as an absorbing mechanism for maintaining the constant NAV. All differences between the constamitigate client redemptions in times of market stress, whereby investors have a real choice of being able to invest in a CNAV or VNAV MMF whilst ensuring that CNAV MMF managers perform their fiduciary duty in terms of treating all shareholders fairly, the CNAV MMF, other than a Government CNAV per unit or share and the NAV per unit or share should be neutralized by using the NAV buffer. During stressed market situations, when the differences can rapidly increase, a procedure should ensure that the whole chain of management is involved. This escalation procedure should permit the senior management to take rapid remedy acMMF, shall have in place provisions for liquidity fees and redemption gates to prevent significant redemptions in times of market stress and to prevent other investors being unfairly exposed to the prevailing market conditions.

(46) As a CNAV MMF that does not maintain the NAV buffer at the required level is not capable of sustaining a constant NAV per cannot meet the minimum amounit or share, it should be required to fluctuate the NAV anf weekly liquidity requirements should cease to be a CNAV MMF. Therefore, where despite the use of the escalation procedure the amount ofredemption gate, the CNAV buffer remains for one month below theMMF has not been requpaired 3% bywithin 105 bausis pointness days, the CNAV MMF should automatically convert into a MMF that is not allowed to use amortised cost accounting or rounding to the nearest percentage point. If before the end of the one month allowed for the replenishmentVNAV MMF or be liquidated. If a liquidity fee is implemented it may remain in place at least until the MMF meets the minimum weekly liquidity requirements. If a competent authority has justifiable reasons demonstrating the incapacability of the CNAV MMF to replenish the buffer, it should have the power to convert the CNAV MMF into a MMF other than a CNAV MMF. The NAV buffer is the only vehicle through which external support to a CNAV MMF can be providedmeet certain conditions, such conditions to be determined by the competent authorities, it should have the power to request the MMF manager to either convert the CNAV MMF into a MMF other than a CNAV MMF or to liquidate the CNAV MMF.

(48) Investors should be clearly informed, before they invest in a MMF, if the MMF is of a short-term nature or of a standard nature and if the MMF is of a CNAV type or not. In order to avoid misplaced expectations from the investor it must also be clearly stated in any marketing document that MMFs are not a guaranteed investment vehicle. CNAV MMFs should clearly explain to investors the buffer mechanism they are applying to maintain the constant NAV per unit or shareprovisions for liquidity fees and redemption gates. Investors should clearly acknowledge their understanding of the risk of this investment product.

(54) It is essential to carry out a review of this Regulation in order to assess the appropriateness of exempting certain CNAV MMFs that concentrate their investment portfolios on debt issuDebt issued or guaranteed by thea Member States from the requirement to establish a capital buffer that amounts to at least 3 % of the total value of the CNAV MMF's assets. Therefore, during the three years after the entry into force of this Regulation, the Commission should analyse the experience acquired in applying this Regulation and the impacts on the different economic aspects attached to the MMFs. The debt issued or guaranteed by the Member States, by its local authorities, by a third country or by a public international body represents a distinct category of investment displaying specific credit and liquidity traits. In addition, as sovereign debt plays a vital role in financing the Member States. The Commission should evaluate the evolution of the market for sovereign debt issued or guaranteed by the Member States and the possibility to create and in providing EU investors with a high quality and liquid pool of investable assets, a special framework for MMF that concentrate their investment policy on that type of debt should be created for Government CNAV MMFs, as defined in point (22 a) of Article 2.
