Doesn't help if the funds are in an IRA but worth mentioning as these accounts easily beat the 0.63% rate you quoted. | |

| Jun 24, 2020 at 14:51 | comment | added | R. Hamilton | US Treasury Bills would be another option here... Does not make a lot of money, but if they lose value because the US gov't has failed, well, then there are probably bigger things to worry about than the loss of some money. treasurydirect.gov/indiv/products/products.htm and if OP is insistent on buying mutual funds, there are fund that are made up almost wholly of US Treasury Bills. money.usnews.com/funds/mutual-funds/rankings/long-government | |
