Columbia Threadneedle suspends dealing on property fund over liquidity issues

CT UK Property Authorised Investment

Columbia Threadneedle has suspended dealing on its CT UK Property Authorised Investment fund, in an attempt to shore up its liquidity.

In a statement, Colombia Threadneedle said this decision was taken "due the amount of cash in the Fund reducing to a level where future redemption requests would not be able to be met until an orderly sale of assets has completed".
