Moira Gorman joined Threadneedle Investments in 2012 as a Relationship Management and Sales Director in the UK institutional team.

Threadneedle start date: 2012 Industry start date: 1999

Page 15: Threadneedle Pensions Property Fund (TPEN)

All of the funds in the Threadneedle Pensions (TPEN) range are operated as single priced funds. Although all of the funds are operated to the same set of pricing procedures, the effect of these procedures varies from one fund to another, because of variations in the purchase and encashment expenses associated with different types of assets within each fund.

On each dealing day we calculate a price per unit for each TPEN fund which is based on the mid-market value of all of the assets of the fund. This unit price does not take account of any purchase expenses that would be incurred if we had to invest new cash flowing into the fund, nor any encashment expenses if we had to sell assets within the fund purely to meet redemptions of units by clients.

The size of the allowances to cover purchase or encashment expenses depends upon the nature of the assets within the fund.

If a TPEN fund is experiencing strong cash inflows, the fund manager may need to buy more assets for the fund, in which case it is likely that the single dealing price will be set at a level which includes the dilution adjustment for purchases (105.50p for commercial property).

If a TPEN fund is experiencing strong cash outflows, the fund manager may need to sell some of the assets of the fund to raise cash, in which case it is likely that the single dealing price will be set at a level which includes the dilution adjustment for encashments (98.70p for commercial property)

Ultimately, the objective of setting the dealing price at one of these levels is a matter of preventing dilution of the investment returns of the fund. Changes to the price level protect existing investors from the expense effect of new investors coming into the fund, and protects the remaining investors against the expense effect of investors leaving the fund. Dilution adjustments are levied for the benefit of existing investors, not for Threadneedle.

Implications of using the single dealing price to value clients’ unitholdings

Generally speaking, we use the single dealing price of a TPEN fund as the valuation price of units in our valuation reports for clients. So the unit price used for valuations is the same as the actual dealing price that existed on the dealing day that is being used as the basis of the valuation. If the dealing price of a fund happened to have been set at the highest level on the day of the valuation, then the effect could be to over-state the apparent value of the unitholding. Had your unitholding been sold on the valuation day, then the effect of that sale might have been great enough to prevent the dealing price to be set at the highest level or even the lowest level.
