It said the change was a result of a move to \u201cfair value pricing\u201d that accounted for the uncertainty and downward pressure surrounding commercial real estate property values in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe level of redemption requests we have recently received and market conditions suggest that investors may place further redemptions, leading to downward pressure on realizable property values,\u201d the company stated on its website page for the fund, which invests directly in U.K. commercial real estate.<\/p>\n<p>BMO GAM said it has also increased the frequency of valuations for the buildings owned in the fund from a monthly to a weekly basis as a result of the \u201csignificant market volatility\u201d following the Brexit vote, requiring closer monitoring as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, BMO GAM\u2019s fact sheet on F&#038;C UK Property said the fund had a value of \u00a3305-million ($512.2-million) and a unit price of \u00a3110.80. On Thursday, the unit price had fallen to \u00a398.43, a drop of \u00a312.37 or 11.16 per cent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td colspan='8'><strong>HIMIPref&trade; Preferred
