The amendments require a non-government MMF to impose a liquidity fee of 1% if the weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of total assets, unless the board determines that imposing such a fee is not in the best interests of the MMF. o Floating NAV — Institutional prime MMFs and institutional tax-exempt MMFs may no longer use the amortized cost method of valuation and/or penny rounding method of pricing to maintain a stable NAV.
