Abstract: In this article we provide the first examples of property (T) $mI{I}_1$ factors $mathcalN$ with trivial fundamental group, $mathcalF(mathcalN)=1$. Our examples arise as group factors $mathcalN=mathcalL(G)$ where $G$ belong to two distinct families of property (T) groups previously studied in the literature: the groups introduced by Valette in cite{Va04} and the ones introduced recently in cite{CDK19} using the Belegradek-Osin Rips construction from cite{BO06}. In particular, our results provide a continuum of explicit pairwise non-isomorphic property (T) factors.
