No investment is 100% risk-free. Even US Government Treasury Bonds have inflation risk and interest rate risk. Your principal in a money market fund is only risk-free if it is FDIC insured. You need to ask the bank that question. I don't think anyone has lost money in a money market fund so far, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen going forward.
