Vanguard's NEW FDIC Insured "Cash Deposit Account" for settlement Funds
Wondering what the members here think about Vanguard's new "FDIC Insured Cash Deposit Account" for the money in Settlement Fund (VMFXX)?
Here's a link for this new settlement account :
https://investor.vanguard.com/inves...N:POS01:XX&CMPSP=3418932789&EMGRP=RT047040187
It currently yields 3.25% APY and money in this account is automatically FDIC insured upto $1.25M ($2.5M for Joint Accounts).
How does it compare to "Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund" (VMFXX) which is not FDIC insured because it is a mutual fund. (Current 7 Day SEC yield = 4.25%).
I don't keep too much money (usually less than $100K) in the settlement fund for too long, wondering if I should switch to this new "Cash Deposit Account"?
Thank you!
