During this period, dealing in the fund was formally suspended. This suspension on dealing has now been lifted and trading will be accepted from 0800 21^st February 2020 .

Recognising that your circumstances may have changed in the interim period, we would request that any intended trades be re-instructed.  Instructions received prior to dealing cut-off on Friday 21^st February 2020, will be settled with a shortened settlement cycle of T+1.  Transactions that are not resubmitted will remain rejected.

BMO – UPDATE TO THE FUND SUSPENSION NOTIFICATION 17:00 19-02-2020

An unusually large redemption request has led BMO Global Asset Management to temporarily suspend dealing in the BMO Global Equity Market Neutral V10 Fund. Whilst the Fund remains able to meet its liquidity obligations, doing so would leave remaining investors temporarily over-exposed to the underlying investment strategy. To mitigate this temporary risk, BMO GAM has taken the decision, acting in the best interests of investors, to temporarily suspend dealing in the Fund, with a view to resuming dealing from Friday, 21 February 2020.  

In the interim, BMO GAM is taking various measures to mitigate any further impact for investors from this, and any further possible redemptions and, from  today, has removed the Annual Management Charge (AMC) on the Fund.
