Some Reserve fund shareholders just got their last cashouts. This week the New York City-based asset manager began distributing the final $12.8 million in its New Jersey Municipal Money-Market Fund to shareholders. An initial distribution of $12.5 million was made on December 12.

In October, the Reserve announced plans to liquidated the New Jersey muni fund along with 14 others (see MFWire, 10/10/2008).
