Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Global High Yield Bond Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund aims to provide a higher total return (the combination of capital growth and income), net of the Ongoing Charge Figure, than that of the ICE BofAML Global High Yield Index (GBP Hedged) over any five-year period. At least 80% of the fund is invested, directly or indirectly through derivatives, in below investment grade corporate debt securities. These securities can be issued by companies from anywhere in the world, including Emerging Markets.
Other investments may include: 1. Asset-Backed Securities and, 2. other transferable securities, government bonds, cash, and near cash, directly or via collective investment schemes (including funds managed by M&G). There are no credit quality restrictions applicable to the fund's investments. The fund aims to hedge any non-sterling assets back to sterling. Derivatives may be used for investment purposes, efficient portfolio management and hedging.

Important Information
Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.
Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).
Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of fund charges and further costs, but take no account of product charges, or any Annual Management Charge paid for by the deduction of units. Charges and further costs may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in the fund's currency of denomination with gross income reinvested. The value of your client’s investment can go down as well as up and the amount your client gets back may be less than they put in.

Fund Specific Risks
Charges to Capital
Part, or all of the periodic annual management fee(s) and expenses may be charged to capital which could increase the potential for the capital value of your investment to be eroded. Your capital could also decrease if income withdrawals exceed the growth rate of the fund(s).
High Yield Bonds
The fund invests in high yield bonds. High yield bonds carry a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds, and economic conditions and interest rate movements will have a greater effect on their price. Income levels may not be achieved and the income provided may vary.
Value of Investments
The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.
Investments Long Term
Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.
Derivative Exposure
The fund invests in derivatives as part of its investment strategy, over and above their use for Efficient Portfolio Management (EPM). Investors should be aware that the use of these instruments can, under certain circumstances, increase the volatility and risk profile of the Fund beyond that expected of a fund that only invests in equities. The fund may also be exposed to the risk that the company issuing the derivative may not honour their obligations which in turn could lead to losses arising.
Income Eroding Capital Growth
The fund focuses on providing an income, which can reduce the prospects for capital growth, and in some cases the capital value may fall.
Umbrella Liabilities
If the liabilities of one fund were to exceed its assets, the other funds within the scheme might have to transfer across money to cover the liabilities.
Solvency of Bond Issuers
If the fund you choose invests in bonds there is a risk that the issuer may default, resulting in a loss to the portfolio.
Liquidity
This fund can suffer from partial or total illiquidity, which may lead to considerable price fluctuations and the inability to redeem your investment.
Returns Are Not Guaranteed
What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.
Inflation
Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.
Taxation and Tax Relief
Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
Important Information
Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.
Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).
