What has happened?

 

Legal & General has transferred the administration of its personal investing business to Fidelity (Financial Administration Services Limited). If you invested with Legal & General before 4 December 2021, you may be impacted by this transfer.

The investments we have transferred are listed below:

  • Individual Savings Account (ISA)
  • Junior ISA
  • Flexible Mortgage ISA (FMISA)
  • Investment Account (also referred to as unit trust investments)
  • Cash ISA
  • Matured Fixed Term Investment (whether you originally invested through an ISA or an Investment Account)
  • Matured Fixed Term Deposit Investment (whether you originally invested through an ISA or an Investment Account)

Note: Our Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) and workplace savings pension schemes have not transferred to Fidelity. If you hold one of these investments, they are not affected by this transfer.

What does it mean for our customers?

From the date of the transfer, Fidelity will administer your investment(s), including any cash holdings you have.

Importantly, if you currently invest in any Legal & General funds, the proposed transfer will in no way affect the management of these underlying funds which will continue to be managed by Legal & General following the transfer.

 

 

When did the transfer take place?

The transfer to Fidelity of all the investments held by our impacted customers was completed on 4 December 2021. If you invested with Legal & General before this date, you may be impacted by this transfer.

If your investment(s) has not been transferred to Fidelity, we will contact you again in the coming months to notify you of any service limitations, or if we need to make any material changes to your Terms and Conditions. We will also confirm what your options are going forward.

Next steps

The online consent portal is now closed and customers can no longer provide their consent to the transfer.

If your investment(s) has transferred to Fidelity, we recommend that you retain all the communications we’ve sent you, along with your other relevant documentation, so that in future you can refer to the changes that have been made to your investment(s).
