+Not to be confused with an ordinary [[money market fund]] (whether or not it would—um—''qualify'' as a “qualifying” one), when it happens to be held in custody under the CASS {{cassprov|6}} [[custody]] rules. There is an important distrinction depending on you hold it. If you hold a money market fund as a qualifying money market fund under Cass {{cassprov|7}} it counts as {{cassprov|client money}} and is subject to [[Secondary pooling events - CASS Provision|secondary pooling rules]] in the client money pool. If you hold it as a normal [[safe custody]] asset under CASS {{cassprov|6}} it wont be loss-mutualised across forms of client money.
