All brokers have to do on client's behalf is to exchange electronic information between themselves and transfer agents.
Money market securities are distinguished from other fixed-income securities primarily by their short maturities, typically less than one year, which makes them less sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.

Additionally, money market securities usually offer lower yields compared to longer-term fixed-income securities, reflecting their lower risk profile.
