What is a Form N-MFP filing? MMF holdings
A Form N-MFP filing is the monthly report that a money market fund files with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) about the fund and its portfolio holdings. Where most registered funds report holdings each quarter, a money market fund reports every month, so a Form N-MFP filing is the most current public window into what a money market fund actually holds. This guide explains what a Form N-MFP filing contains, when it is due, and how it differs from other fund reports. It is not investment advice.

Form N-MFP carries structured information about a single money market fund, or a single series of one, and the securities it holds. Each fund or series files a separate form.

When is a Form N-MFP filed?
A Form N-MFP is filed no later than the fifth business day of each month, reporting the fund and its holdings as of the last business day of the preceding month.

How does Form N-MFP fit among fund filings?
Form N-MFP is the money market fund's monthly holdings report. For other registered management funds, the machine-readable holdings report is the N-PORT, filed quarterly, and the certified shareholder report is the N-CSR. The annual operational census is the N-CEN. For a side-by-side of the money market monthly report and the broader portfolio report, see N-MFP vs N-PORT. For a manager-level snapshot of large US equity positions, the 13F is the disclosure to read.
