Tianhong Asset Management has placed a temporary daily cap on investments in Yuebao, the the world’s largest money market fund, in order to stem the influx of money during the Chinese New Year period.
Alibaba-distributed fund Yuebao has lowered the maximum individual investment for the second time as China’s regulator tightens rules for money market funds.
