It was correct at the time of publishing. Our views and any references to tax, investment, and pension rules may have changed since then.

Investments can go down as well as up so there is always a danger that you could get back less than you invest. Nothing here is personalised advice, if unsure you should seek advice.

Capita Asset Services was acquired by Link Group in June 2017. The company provides fund administration for a range of investment managers. This includes ensuring each group meets certain regulatory requirements and provides appropriate documentation for investors.

Link Group now carries out these responsibilities and part of the names of the corresponding funds has changed. Funds that previously had the prefix ‘CF’ will be changed to ‘LF’.

The following Wealth 150 funds have been affected by the change: LF Lindsell Train UK Equity, LF Odey Opus, LF Woodford Equity Income and LF Woodford Income Focus.

There has been no change to each fund’s investment objective or process and we do not believe investors need to take any action as a result.

Important information - Please remember the value of investments, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest.

No news or research item is a personal recommendation to deal.
