5i Research Answer:

We think ZMMK is a good income investment that is quite low risk. Since it primarily holds money market securities, it is slightly higher risk vs a fund that primarily holds government securities like T-Bills. Risks are increased credit risk (although still very low) being exposed to corporations vs government backed securities, and rate risk with a declining yield. 

A HISA will offer a lower yield and while it is lower risk, we think the greater yield captured in a money market or T-Bill ETF is more worth it. 

JPST has similar risks, but may be considered higher risk as it also invests in 37% of the fund in securities with an average life of 1-3 years. It is only available in USD to what we can tell. We have no problems with it.
