Reuters writes "Ant Financial'​s money market fund imposes temporary caps for Lunar New Year," which says, "Ant Financial'​s money market fund will place a temporary daily cap on subscription volumes ahead of an expected surge in inflows during the Chinese Lunar New Year, as calls grow for tighter regulations of these funds to prevent systemic risks. The restrictions by Yu'​e Bao - the world'​s largest money market fund - will be in place from Feb. 1 through Mar. 15, Ant Financial said in a statement, adding that the caps would be "​dynamically managed according to the volume of subscriptions and redemptions and other market conditions." Ant Financial said the caps were "​voluntarily announced" by Tianhong Asset Management Co., Ltd., which manages the fund." The brief adds, "In December, Ant Financial imposed a cap on the daily amount users can invest at 20,​000 yuan ($​3,​176.​62). Earlier in the year, it had set a total investment cap of 250,​000 yuan per person for the fund. Ant Financial is the payment affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Established in 2013, Yu'​e Bao is integrated with Ant Financial'​s payment app Alipay. The latest restrictions come as members of the National Institution for Finance and Development (​NIFD) called for tighter regulation of money market funds in a commentary published Thursday."
