Participants are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that they hold with Trust Bank, in order to determine the extent of deposit insurance coverage available to them on their deposits, including the MMDA.
Unlike money market deposit accounts, money market funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
