...dozen years ago, hot dogs and peanut butter were about the only affordable fare for Bruce Bent and Henry Brown, the inventors of the money-market mutual fund. Their creation, registered in 1971 as the Reserve Fund, offered big yields to small savers for the first time and eventually spawned a $200 billion industry.
