TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purpose Investments, Inc. (“Purpose”) is pleased to announce that it will place a cap on new purchases for Purpose Premium Money Market Fund (“the Fund”). The Fund has attracted a significant amount of assets and reached our internal asset goals much more quickly than expected. This cap will go into effect upon the Fund reaching $350-million in assets under management. The Fund currently has approximately $320-million in assets under management.
As an innovative money market product that provides an exceptional yield, the Fund has seen significant inflows in recent months. To preserve the effectiveness for existing shareholders, Purpose will close the Fund to new purchases once it reaches $350-million in assets under management. Existing client accounts will not be impacted by the cap.
