We are pleased to inform you that the proposed merger of the Liontrust MA Strategic Bond Fund into the Liontrust Strategic Bond Fund was approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held at 9:00am on Thursday 29 September 2022. We can confirm the merger was completed on Friday 14 October 2022.
You will shortly receive a merger notice detailing the shareholding in the Liontrust MA Strategic Bond Fund prior to the merger, along with your new shareholding in the Liontrust Strategic Bond Fund. The value of your investment will be the same in the Liontrust MA Strategic Bond Fund as it was in the Liontrust Strategic Bond Fund immediately prior to the merger.
For those investors who have a Regular Savings Plan with Liontrust, your Direct Debit collection, with effect from 15 October, will be redirected into the Liontrust Strategic Bond Fund unless you tell us otherwise.
For those investors who have a Liontrust ISA, there will be no impact on your ISA because your new holding in the Liontrust Strategic Bond Fund will remain within the ISA wrapper.
For ISA investors, if you have elected to switch to another Liontrust fund, redeem your holding in full or transfer your ISA to a different manager, you will receive confirmation of this shortly after 14 October.
If you require any further information about this merger, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0344 892 0349 (overseas: +44 203 528 4110) between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday or by emailing Liontrustadmin@liontrust.co.uk.
