The extreme market uncertainty caused by COVID-19 meant that trading in the L&G UK Property Fund was suspended from 18th March 2020. The LGUTM Board has now decided that the exceptional circumstances which caused the Funds’ continued suspension no longer apply and we have reopened the fund on 13th October 2020.

The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, you may not get back the amount you originally invested.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The return from this fund is dependent on relatively few individual investments. This means that a fall in the value of an individual investment can have a major impact on the overall performance of the fund.
The fund could lose money if any institution providing services such as acting as counterparty to derivatives or other instruments, becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the fund.
Derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset on which they are based and can increase the size of losses and gains.
The fund may have underlying investments that are valued in currencies that are different from sterling (British pounds). Exchange rate fluctuations will impact the value of your investment. Currency hedging techniques may be applied to reduce this impact but may not entirely eliminate it.

Monthly commentary
As at 31 Dec 2020
Markets were in buoyant mood during December. There was some retracement of value and momentum styles as the month progressed, though we saw a return to favour of some growth and quality cyclical parts of the market. US indices hit new all-time highs, while UK equities enjoyed a consecutive month of positive performance as encouraging vaccine news and renewed optimism over a sustained global economic recovery in 2021 was enough to drive markets higher. By sector, we saw Basic Materials, Industrials and Financials enjoy a strong month for price action. Healthcare and Consumer Goods industries underperformed.
Looking ahead, we believe the backdrop remains supportive for equity markets, with growth sectors and thematic winners likely to reassert themselves as we progress through 2021. We also expect to see continued influence of ESG factors amid increasing focus on decarbonisation, ‘green’ opportunities and social capital.
The L&G Growth Trust outperformed the FTSE All Share Index by 260bps in December, helping to extend benchmark and peer group outperformance in 2020. Stock selection gains were driven by favourable exposure within Consumer Goods and Financials. Sector allocation was neutral, as the benefit of our underweight positioning in Healthcare was offset by our zero exposure to Mining companies, which have performed well in recent months. At the stock level, Aston Martin Lagonda made a significant positive contribution. Other individual winners included Croda, Network International, Boohoo Group and Fever-Tree. The biggest negative performer was RWS Holdings. On portfolio activity, there was no notable trading in the period.
