We are closing the Threadneedle Absolute Return Bond Fund on the 26 July 2019. The Fund is being closed due to its relatively small size. The Fund’s assets have fallen to a level which makes it economically unviable to manage. We believe the closure is in the best interests of investors. To this end, we will be closing the fund on the 26 July 2019 (the Effective Date) and dealing in the Fund will be suspended from 12.01pm on 23 July 2019. Please see the Shareholder Notification and Q&A for further details. Investor letter Q&A
