F&C can trace its roots back to 1868, when Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust, the world’s oldest collective investment fund was launched. In 2014 it became part of BMO Global Asset Management, and ultimately the BMO Financial Group, which has been helping millions of customers meet a spectrum of financial needs for over 200 years. F&C Investments offer investments including equities, bonds, property and private equity. F&C trusts have different aims and strategies with the option of capital growth, income or a combination of both and with a specific regional focus or with a global remit.
