General question - do we expect MMF returns to increase when BNM eventually raises the interest rates?
Basically, will there come a point in time when FD returns will be higher than Versa/Simple?
My understanding is that MMFs have holdings in FDs anyway, so I would expect the returns to also move up in step with any interest rate hike?
Not necessary because MMF market makers has the right not to increase the rate of returns
The only reason why MMF is higher than FD because of daily compound returns while FD is simple returns
Hence no matter how MMF will outperform FD in terms of return and liquidity

Havent seen a MMF that has a higher return than FD, if there is, please share as well.
MMF returns depend on interest rates so it should go up in theory if BNM raise the base rate.
There is so many KAF, Versa, SA Simple, Pecef and many more
