Following the announcement that Richard Hodges is due to leave Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) later this year, we are moving the L&G Fixed Interest Trust fund rating to Under Review. The fund previously held a Morningstar OBSR Analyst Rating™ of Neutral.

The fund will be managed by the UK institutional credit team headed by Robert Barnard-Smith. The institutional credit team will also take over the management of the L&G Managed Monthly Income fund and the L&G Sterling Income fund that were run by Hodges on an interim basis following previous manager Michel Canoy’s departure in December 2013. Hodges will work closely with Barnard-Smith’s team in order to transition the funds. We will meet with Barnard-Smith in the coming months to discuss his plans for this fund.
