LONDON—Aviva Investors suspended dealing in its Aviva Investors Property Trust, the second big insurer to bring a temporary halt to dealing in a U.K.-focused property fund following the country's vote to leave the EU.

"The extraordinary market circumstances, which are impacting the wider industry, have resulted in a lack of immediate liquidity in the Aviva Investors Property Trust," the British insurer said in an emailed statement.

The firm's statement didn't explicitly make a reference to the Brexit vote.

The fund had £ 1.8 billion ($2.36 billion)in assets at the end of May, according to a fact sheet published by Aviva.
