Suppose that you are working as a financial analyst in Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your boss have just asked to analyze three different money market instrument yields and to suggest investment advice to its rich clients. Which of following instruments is the most desirable to invest in ? A six month T-bill rate of 1.9 % A six moth Eurodollar deposit of 1.9% A six month CD rate of 1.9 %

 A six month T-bill rate of 1.9 %

Explanation:

As all the instruments are similar in terms of maturity period and return rate, the most desirable will be in terms of the one with the lowest risk.

The United States T-bill is one of the safest instruments in the world as it is backed by the full faith of the United States Government which has technically never defaulted on debt. This is therefore the lowest instrument listed and is therefore the most desirable.
