Correct usage of unique_ptr in class member

I am trying to really move from c++98 to c++11 and newer. I have wrapped my head over most of the new stuff but I am still not sure about the correct usage of unique_ptr.

Consider the example below, where class A has a unique_ptr member (I would have used raw pointer before!). This member variable should be assigned, when user needs, by calling a function somewhere else (not part of the class). Is this the correct usage? If not, what is the best alternative?

class A {
private:
   unique_ptr<MyType> mt;
public:
   void initStuff() {
      mt.reset(std::move(StaticFuncSomewhereElese::generateMyType()));
   } 
};

MyType* StaticFuncSomewhereElese::generateMyType() {
    MyType* temp = new MyType(...);
    //do stuff to temp (read file or something...)
    return temp;
}
