Another Reserve fund is about to bite the dust as its shareholders get their dough. On Friday the New York-based money fund firm began the final $21.02 million distribution from its Interstate Tax-Exempt Fund. Combined with a prior $354 million distribution on January 26, the move will make the fund's shareholders whole. The Reserve first froze the Interstate Tax-Exempt Fund to new investors in September, announced plans to liquidate it in October and asked Standard & Poor's to stop rating it in January (see MFWire, 9/18/2008, 10/10/2008 and 1/6/2009).
