Please note; On 26th September 2024, Extraordinary General Meetings were held for the investors of (each of) VT Argonaut Equity Income Fund and VT Argonaut European Alpha Fund (together, the Sub Funds).
These meetings were held to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote on the proposal (sent to investors on 5th September 2024) for the funds to terminate and the assets to transfer over (by way of Schemes of Arrangement)
to launch the VT Argonaut Flexible Fund on the effective date; 11th October 2024.
A quorum of shareholders from both Sub Funds voted in favour 'For' the resolutions by way of overwhelming majority. The Sub Funds therefore remain open for investment until midday, 9th October 2024.
