Information on this Site

The information on this site is issued by Swiss Life Asset Managers UK Limited ("Swiss Life Asset Managers UK"), a company incorporated in England and Wales under number 04846209, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") with FRN 229228 and its registered office is at 55 Wells Street, London, W1T 3PT. Swiss Life Asset Managers UK is a member of Swiss Life Asset Managers.

The Property Income Trust for Charities (“PITCH”) is a pooled property vehicle, in the form of a UK exempt unauthorised unit trust, which is managed by Swiss Life Asset Managers UK.

The following terms and conditions apply to the use of this site. By using this site, you consent to these terms and conditions and the privacy policy and cookies policy available on this site. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, privacy policy and cookies policy, you must not use this site.

Sales Restrictions

PITCH is not a recognised collective investment scheme for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 of the United Kingdom (the "Act"). The promotion and the distribution of offering materials in relation to PITCH in the United Kingdom is accordingly restricted by law.

PITCH is categorised by the FCA as a Non-Mainstream Pooled Investment which cannot be marketed to the general public. PITCH is only available to charities who qualify under section 96 or 100 of the Charities Act (2011) or section 25 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 (“Eligible Charity”).

PITCH is not regulated under the UK's financial services regulations and investors will not benefit from the rules and regulations made under the Act for the protection of investors as would apply to authorised schemes, or from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

The information on this site is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to subscribe for units in PITCH. The information on this site does not constitute a recommendation or investment advice and should not be relied upon. Should you have any queries about PITCH, you should contact your financial adviser.

Risk Factors

The value of investments may go down as well as up, and investors may not get back all or any amount originally invested. Income or other returns from investments are subject to change and may be lower than estimated. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

PITCH invests in real property in the UK and uses leverage which means the fund may be subject to higher risk and volatility than other funds and may not be suitable for all Eligible Charity investors. Further, PITCH’s portfolio of assets may lack diversification thereby increasing the risk of loss.

The levels and bases of and reliefs from taxation may change. Any tax reliefs referred to are those currently available and their value depends on the circumstances of the individual investor. Investors should consult their own tax adviser in order to understand any applicable tax consequences.
