How the fund removals will impact your clients on the Select menu
|
|
Clients can continue to make new or additional investments into these funds up until 30 March 2018.
From 31 March 2018, any Infinity Select clients still holding these funds can:
|
•
|
continue holding their existing investments in these funds
|
•
|
move to the Full menu if they wish to make additional investments into these funds.
|
|
Any templates which include the funds being removed can no longer be linked to an Infinity Select account. Any regular buy or auto-invest excess cash in place for Infinity Select accounts that includes the funds being removed will fail to be processed.
Clients who are on Infinity eWRAP Core or Full menu are not impacted by this change.
|
|
|
|
|
Action required
|
|
Given the change to the Select menu, a transition notice period is in place in an effort to allow you to consider taking one of the below actions in your next review with your impacted clients:
|
•
|
move any impacted clients to the Full menu if they wish to continue making additional investments into these funds (ie. on an ad hoc basis, via templating, regular buy or auto-invest excess cash arrangements), or
|
•
|
amend any template, regular buy or auto-invest excess cash instruction to remove the relevant fund that’s being removed. You may want to consider replacing the relevant funds with the equivalent Wholesale Plus Fund that is now in the Infinity eWrap select menu.
