Commentary
Performance as at Q4 2024- UK index-linked government bonds (index-linked gilts) experienced sharp losses in the final quarter of 2024, falling by 6.0% and underperforming conventional gilts which fell by 3.1%. The sell-off was driven by a rise in gilt yields as UK inflationary pressures kicked in. The yield on benchmark 10-year gilts rose from 4.0% at the end of September to 4.6% at the end of December (yields and prices move in opposite directions). Losses for index-linked gilts were partly mitigated by a rise in inflation breakeven rates (an indication of inflation expectations), with five-year breakevens increasing slightly from 3.5% at the end of September to 3.6% at the end of December. The UK's Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate rose to 2.6% in the 12 months to November from 2.3% in the 12 months to October. In December, the Bank of England held the rate unchanged at 4.75%, but divisions increased with three dissenters calling for an imminent rate cut. Still, for the majority of the bank's monetary policy committee (MPC), a gradual approach to removing policy restraint was still the preferred route - particularly given the stickier price and wage data seen towards the end of the quarter. This vote split marked a dovish pivot.

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).
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 investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.

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.
You should also consider discussing your decision and the appropriateness of a fund's risk rating with an adviser.
Medium Risk
These funds may invest in multi-asset strategies with a higher weighting in equities (or with significant derivative use), while funds investing mainly in property, high yield or government bonds (such as UK Gilts) are also in this category.
