"Kollateralschäden u.a. bei Privatanlegern (Abwälzungseffekte) oder bei bestimmten konservativen Fondstypen (Geldmarkt; Rentenkurzläufer; …)!"
The text is referring to the problems (as the author sees them) behind introducing a financial transaction tax.
My first thought was "short-term annuities", but those aren't really a conservative type of fund, are they?

Wikipedia definition of kurzläufer
The Wikipedia entry takes the view that short-term annuities / short-dated gilts (whatever you want to call them) are less volatile than long-dated ones. Consequently, it is not surprising that some authors will see them as a conservative low-risk investment product.
In these days of the sovereign debt crisis a lot of conventional thinking on what is low-risk / high-risk is under question ... but that is just an aside.
