On May 28, 2014, Legal & General Group Plc (Legal & General) announced that its £1.3 billion UK Property Trust was converted into a Property Authorized Investment Fund (PAIF) structure on May 24, 2014, resulting in more tax-efficient income for many investors. The fund has also been renamed and the PAIF is called the Legal & General UK Property Fund. A PAIF is a tax-efficient property fund which keeps track of three different income streams: rental, interest and dividend income. Michael Barrie, Director, Fund Management, Legal & General Property, said, "Property offers a generous yield relative to other assets and this has contributed to a continued resurgence in investor appetite for the asset class. Furthermore a more broad based economic recovery has helped to fuel occupier demand, pointing to very strong real estate returns over the course of 2014 and beyond."
