Our read on each fund
GOVTA
JMMFC
In short
GOVT The plain-vanilla Treasury sleeve. One index fund spanning the full maturity spectrum of US government debt, running since 2012 at five basis points, with none of the credit risk that lives in the rest of the bond aisle.
JMMF A money market fund wearing an ETF ticker. JMMF owns nothing but direct U.S. Treasury debt (bills, notes, bonds), chasing current income, liquidity and low volatility of principal, and it pays monthly. J.P. Morgan opened it in December 2025.
Stated mandate
GOVT The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. Treasury bonds spanning the full maturity spectrum, providing broad exposure to U.S. government debt for stability and income.
JMMF The fund seeks current income, liquidity, and low volatility of principal through exclusive investment in U.S. Treasury debt securities, including Treasury bills, bonds, and notes.
