Liontrust Asset Management : Suspension of the Liontrust Russia Fund

28 February 2022

Suspension of the Liontrust Russia Fund

Liontrust has decided to suspend dealing in the Liontrust Russia Fund. This means investors are not able to make purchases or redemptions in the Fund until further notice.

We have not taken this action lightly but in this case we believe this is in the best interests of all investors given the events of the past few days and comes after discussions with the Fund's Depositary. These events include today's closure of the Moscow Stock Exchange and the temporary ban on foreign investors selling local Russian securities.

At the moment, Liontrust is unable to say how long the Fund will be suspended for. Liontrust will keep the suspension of the Russia Fund under continual review given it is such a rapidly changing situation and we will update investors as soon as we can.

The suspension of the Russia Fund will not have any impact on any other Liontrust funds.
