Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G UK Equity Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund invests, via other M&G funds, in the shares of UK companies. The fund is actively managed against its benchmark, the FTSE All-Share Index. It is a “fund of funds” holding units in several more specialised UK equity funds giving access to a variety of methods for generating investment returns in differing market conditions. Derivative instruments may be used for efficient portfolio management.
Performance Objective: To outperform the benchmark by 0.75% - 1.0% a year (before charges) on a rolling three year basis.

Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2024 - The fund recorded a positive return in the third quarter and was modestly behind the benchmark. Despite bouts of volatility fueled by decelerating macroeconomic indicators, shifting global monetary policy expectations and sharp movements in the Japanese yen, world equity markets registered gains in the quarter. UK equities recorded another three-month period of positive returns and outperformed the global market (in sterling terms). However, they trailed Asian and emerging market equities. The anticipated Labour Party victory in the July general election had limited impact on financial markets. Instead, investor confidence was lifted by the relatively resilient economic backdrop – gross domestic product expanded by 0.5% in the second quarter – and progress towards the Bank of England’s (BoE) 2.0% inflation target. Investors welcomed the BoE’s decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in August. Sectors that are expected to benefit from falling interest rates such as utilities and real estate were among the best performers. Energy stocks declined as oil prices fell, while technology stocks also lagged. Smaller, domestically focused companies in the FTSE 250 outperformed the larger global business in the FTSE 100. During the third quarter, we changed the assets the M&G PP UK Equity Fund invests into, to potentially generate better returns in the future whilst maintaining the current risk rating. The M&G UK Equity Fund transitioned out of the positions in the M&G PP UK Equity Dividend, UK Equity Growth and Recovery funds and has invested in the M&G (ACS) Blackrock UK Equity 200 and M&G (ACS) UK Listed Equity funds.

Important Information
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).

Important Information
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).

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).
Sector Specific
The fund invests in specific sectors. Funds which invest in specific sectors may carry more risk than those spread across a number of different sectors. They may assume higher risk, as markets/sectors can be more volatile. In particular, gold, technology funds and other focused funds can suffer as the underlying stocks can be more volatile and less liquid.
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.
Solvency of Depository
The value of a cash or currency fund may be affected if any of the institutions with which cash is deposited becomes insolvent or experiences other financial difficulties.
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.

This factsheet is intended for the advisers of occupational pension schemes using Prudential group pension contracts and Prudential grouped personal pensions and Stakeholder pension contracts. its purpose is to provide an insight into how investment markets and funds have performed over the period and is provided for information only. You should refer to your client's scheme documentation (e.g. Fund Guide) for fund availability, investment strategy, any scheme information and charges. Every care has been taken in populating this output, however it must be appreciated that neither Broadridge, Prudential nor their sources guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this infomation or make any warranties regarding results from its usage.
These risk ratings have been developed by Prudential to help provide an indication of a fund’s potential level of risk and reward based on the type of assets which may be held by the fund. Other companies may use different descriptions and as such these risk ratings should not be considered as generic across the fund management industry.
We regularly review our fund risk ratings, so they may change in the future. If, in our view, there is a material change in the fund's level of risk, for example due to a significant change to the assets held by the fund or in the way the fund is managed, we will provide information on the new risk rating. We recommend that you make sure you understand the risk rating of any fund before you invest.
Higher Risk
These are specialist equity funds that focus on set geographical regions or a particular type of share e.g. shares of smaller companies or those that conform to certain criteria.

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 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 GBP 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.
