Aviva Changes Euro MMF to LVNAV
Aviva Investors, the 13th largest manager of European or "offshore" money market funds with $41.8 billion (when translated back into USD), announced a series of changes to their Ireland-based funds. The update, titled, "You asked -- we listened," says, "We've listened carefully and are pleased to share the changes we're making in response to your input. Based on your recent feedback, we've made a series of enhancements to improve operational efficiency, increase flexibility, and better align with your accounting and payment needs. These changes are designed to support your day-to-day liquidity management -- whether that's through more stable pricing, earlier redemption payments, or extended dealing deadlines." Aviva's brief explains, "What you said: The Euro Liquidity Fund needs to be LVNAV to support stable pricing for accounting purposes; EUR redemption payments are released too late in the day; GBP payments for the Sterling Government Fund are also released too late; Could the Euro Liquidity Fund cut-off be extended?" It continues, "What we've changed: From 7th July 2025, the Euro Liquidity Fund will be LVNAV, with distributing share classes priced at 1.000; From 7th July 2025, both the Sterling Government Liquidity Fund and the Euro Liquidity Fund will adopt historic pricing for distributing share classes -- enabling redemption payments as early as 9:30am Irish time, in line with our other Liquidity Funds; From 7th July 2025, the cut-off for the Euro Liquidity Fund will be extended to 1:00pm Irish time." Aviva adds, "We hope these enhancements make a meaningful difference to your operations. If you have any questions or further suggestions, we'd love to hear from you. We're committed to making our Liquidity Funds work better for you."
