Replacement fund objective:
This Fund aims to offer investors the opportunity to grow their money by investing in the world’s major stock markets. This Fund seeks to invest in a wide range of companies from around the world using an investment process called MERIT (Multi-Factor Enhanced Return Investment Technique). This investment process seeks to invest in a wide range of companies that combine both attractive valuations and positive corporate earnings and price momentum signals. This process involves assessing a number of financial measures for each company to identify which companies look cheap (or undervalued) relative to their peer companies.
Investments in company shares (also known as equities) generally carry a higher investment (or capital) risk than cash, fixed interest or property investments.

We have been notified by Aviva Investors that they will be closing the underlying fund which this fund invests in.
The Fund Manager has advised that the closure process is expected to take 12-24 months, however it may take longer than this depending on market conditions. The funds will remain suspended throughout the closure process to ensure fair treatment of all investors.
The Manager of the underlying Aviva fund will issue cash proceeds periodically throughout the closure process, with the first of these payments expected to be made around late July 2021.
Following receipt of each cash distribution from Aviva, we will promptly calculate how much is due to each of our customers based on the proportion of the OMR unit-linked fund they hold, and issue a further communication to confirm when the customer payments have been made.
For our customers that still hold units in the OMR fund, we will process the payment to plans by adding units in the replacement fund, the OMR Prof Deposit. For plans that have surrendered but are still awaiting proceeds related to their holding in the OMR Aviva UK Property fund, a cash payment will be made.
