With effect from 4 January 2019 we shall be making changes affecting dealings in shares of the Architas Diversified Real Assets Fund. The Dealing cut-off and valuation point will be changing to 12:00 noon.

For this Fund only there will be two valuation points on Monday 7 January 2019, the final 08:00 valuation point and the first new 12:00 noon valuation point. Please refer to the schedule below which shows how deals placed during the transition will be affected.

Additionally, for this Fund only, we will be ‘disconnecting’ Calastone between 12:01 Friday 4 January and 08:00 Monday 7 January. Any deals placed via Calastone during this period will be rejected, so please delay sending via Calastone until after 08:00 Monday 7 January. Any faxes received after 12.01 Friday 4 January will be held and placed after 08:00 Monday 7 January.

Please be advised that we have recently intercepted a fraudulent request.  In this case a letter was addressed to a nominee appearing to be from one of our Management Companies informing them of a change to settlement bank details.

At first glance this letter appears to be legitimate and was on headed paper with a templated format; however this letter was in fact fraudulent and has been confirmed that this was in fact not sent by the Management Company or DST.

Please be vigilant with any requests or notifications regarding change of bank details. Please be advised that a number of management companies host their bank details on the Distributor Portal and if there are any changes to bank details the new details would be reflected on here.

Should you be in any doubt regarding the authenticity of any correspondence received from a Management Company, please do not hesitate to contact us for clarification.

Further to our recent shareholder communication regarding the repositioning of the Legg Mason IF Martin Currie European Equity Income Fund, the extraordinary resolution to reposition the fund to the Legg Mason IF Martin Currie European Unconstrained Fund was approved by shareholders on 10th December 2018.

This reposition will be effective from 17th December 2018. Fund and share class identifiers will remain the same.
