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.
Fund Manager
With access to investment professionals around the world, the M&G Treasury & Investment Office (T&IO) has a broad and well-resourced investment capability. T&IO set the strategic asset allocation and undertakes the ‘manager of managers’ role for our insured funds. Over the years they have built a thorough and effective governance framework, which includes the setting and monitoring of investment mandates, regular performance and activity health checks and independent analysis of investment, credit and liquidity risks.

Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2024 - Equities recorded positive returns during the quarter, despite periodic volatility related to decelerating macroeconomic indicators, shifting global monetary expectations and sharp movements in the Japanese yen. As inflation continued to ease, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of England (BoE) cut interest rates for the first time in over four years. In August, the BoE implemented a 0.25 percentage points cut to its key rate, while the Fed reduced its rate by 0.50 percentage points in September. Following its initial move in June, the European Central Bank made a further cut to interest rates (0.25 percentage points). The fund gained in the quarter and was behind the benchmark and outperformed the comparator. In absolute terms, Pacific and emerging equity markets made the strongest gains, while the UK also registered healthy advances. Japan and Europe made modest gains, while the US was broadly flat, all in sterling terms. Pacific markets were supported by the performance of China and Hong Kong, with the former announcing a range of measures aimed at stimulating the economy and stockmarket towards the end of the quarter. Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand also fared well, while Taiwan and South Korea were hurt by weakness in the technology sector. UK equities were supported by the fairly resilient economic environment and declining inflation, while returns for sterlingbased investors in the Japanese stockmarket were boosted by the appreciation of the yen. In Europe, Spanish and German equity markets were among the strongest areas, while share prices in Denmark and the Netherlands fell sharply. The US stockmarket made healthy gains in local currency terms, but returns for sterling-based investors was held back by the relative weakness of the US dollar. Stockpicking in Europe and Pacific markets was beneficial, while allocation to the US and emerging markets was broadly neutral. Stockpicks in the UK held back relative returns, as did those in China and Japan, but to a lesser extent. The fund retains an above-index allocation to equities. This overweight allocation is a diversified basket across the US, UK, Asia and global emerging markets. Emerging market equities were added to during the period with the move funded from a below-index position in Japanese and Chinese equities. Emerging markets could outperform Japanese equity due to a stable or weaker US dollar, slowing but reasonable developed market economic growth and interest rate cuts from central banks. Central banks are striking a more accommodative tone on monetary policy, following supportive inflation data and some signs of economic softening. The prospect of a soft economic landing in the US, accompanied by lower interest rates and stimulus measures in China should be good for the performance of most asset classes. Heightened geopolitical tensions remain the most obvious near-term risk to this view.

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

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).

Aims and Benchmark
| 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. |

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 to Higher Risk
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.

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.
