Este es otro fondo de inversión que debe detener los retiros para evitar la fuga masiva de capital. Apenas hace un mes Northern Rock, uno de los bancos más grandes en Inglaterra, hizo lo mismo sin mucho éxito, ya que se fue a la quiebra. Y se teme que más fondos estén en el mismo caso.
Fears that other funds are at riskOne of Britain's biggest property funds was forced to shut its doors to withdrawals yesterday after the slump in commercial prices triggered panic selling by small investors.
The move prompted fears of a Northern Rock-style run on billions of pounds invested in once high-flying funds which many savers have seen as a safe haven for their pensions.
Scottish Equitable said yesterday that 129,000 small investors in its £2bn property fund will not be able to access their money for up to a year, although payments relating to regular income already being paid, retirements and death claims will not be affected.
