Fund Aims

Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Global Equity Fund - the underlying fund.

Underlying Fund Objective: The fund provides an all-equity approach to investment, holding a 55% UK equity and 45% mix of overseas company shares. For the overseas shares, the fund is actively managed against an internal composite benchmark asset allocation set by the M&G Treasury & Investment Office. It is a “fund of funds” where both active stock selection, within the underlying sector funds, and asset allocation decisions are used to add value. Derivative instruments may be used for efficient portfolio management.

Performance Objective: To outperform the internal composite benchmark by 1.0% a year (before charges) on a rolling three year basis.

Commentary

Performance as at Q4 2024 - Equity markets overall produced robust gains during the quarter, in sterling terms, with the return mainly reflecting currency weakness. Performance was driven by central bank moves and political developments. Global equities were led by the US, which rallied following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Major central banks continued their path of monetary easing, despite modest increases in inflation. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) both reduced interest rates twice, while the Bank of England made just one cut. The year concluded with a general slowdown in global economic growth. The fund declined in the quarter and was behind the benchmark and the comparator. In absolute terms, US equity markets drove performance, with Japan making modest gains, while the UK was flat and Pacific and emerging markets and Europe lagged behind, all in sterling terms. The US stockmarket was supported by continued optimism about Artificial Intellingence (AI)and the country’s healthy economic activity. Market observers also welcomed Donald Trump’s victory in November, encouraged by the prospect of tax cuts and deregulation. Returns for sterlingbased investors in the Japanese stockmarket were held back by the weakness of the Japanese yen. UK equities were subdued against a backdrop of a slight contraction in the economy as well as a pick-up in inflation and disquiet over Labour’s budget. China’s stockmarket declined despite further efforts by authorities to support its economy. South Korean equities were hurt by weaker economic growth and investors were unnerved by a (failed) attempt by the president to impose martial law. In contrast, Taiwan benefited from the strength of its technology sector. Emerging markets were undermined by a strong US dollar and the possibility of higher trade tariffs from the US. Lagging behind, European equities were hurt by the economic outlook for the region, potential trade tariffs from the US and political uncertainty. Stockpicking in emerging markets, China, Europe, Pacific markets and Japan was modestly beneficial, while stock picks in the UK and the US held back returns. In a quiet quarter for fund activity, the fund retains an aboveindex allocation to equities, comprising a diversified basket across the US, UK, Asia and global emerging markets. Japanese and Chinese equities have below-index positions. Central banks’ interest rate cutting cycles have been rapidly reassessed in recent weeks, following stronger data, fiscal/policy uncertainty and some stickier inflation. In our opinion, a robust US economy, with the potential for increased spending and tax cuts, should be good for risk assets, but regional differentiation could be larger than usual, with decoupled economic cycles and the potential for trade wars. Heightened geo-political tensions remain a significant near-term risk.

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 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.

It is a “fund of funds” where both active stock selection, within the underlying sector funds, and asset allocation decisions are used to add value. Derivative instruments may be used for efficient portfolio management. Performance Objective: To outperform the internal composite benchmark by 1.0% a year (before charges) on a rolling three year basis.
Benchmark Internal composite benchmark, asset allocation set by the M&G Treasury & Investment Office (T&IO).

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).

Charges and further costs may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now.

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).

Emerging Markets

The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates, the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.

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.

Exchange Rate

This fund invests in securities outside the UK. The value of investments and any income from them may therefore decrease or increase as a result of changes in exchange rates between currencies.

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.

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.

These funds offer a diverse geographical spread of equity investment or have multi-asset strategies with a specialist focus (e.g. ethical). The equity funds within this category will have greater overseas exposure and underlying volatility than the "medium" sector.
