[ QUOTE ]
Money market accounts invest in very short term paper... there is a very small risk, but it is not secured, thus disclaimers. [/ QUOTE ] I think the original poster is referring to the bank vehicle called "money markets" that are just a savings account with a different name. For example, the ING Orange account is still FDIC insured and have no risk. (As opposed to a money market mutual fund) [ QUOTE ] Using ING and Emigrant as examples, how much do these companies figure to profit on deposits if they are giving out 3.75-4%? [/ QUOTE ] These guys rely more on volumn and very low overhead as they are operating at a much smaller interest margin as a typical bank. Still regardless the average loan earns slightly over 6% when factoring in default risk. [ QUOTE ] Also, how do these companies make money on the deposits while protecting against the short term need for withdrawals etc ? [/ QUOTE ] Banks do extensive analysis with asset liablity management. These include lots of "what-ifs" scenerios and how it will effect liquidity, profits, and capital ratios. Here is a very basic description. http://www.riskglossary.com/link/ass...management.htm |
