Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) Index Fund – the underlying fund.
Underlying fund objective: The fund gains its exposure via the M&G Funds (1) BlackRock Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) Equity fund. The underlying fund aims to be fully invested in the equity securities and equity related securities of companies that are constituents of the FTSE World Asia Pacific ex Japan Index.
Within the index-relative limits, the Investment Manager uses a structured and systematic, bottom up stock selection process to build a portfolio with similar risk-return characteristics as the index in order to meet the fund’s investment objectives. In addition to the fund’s objective, the Investment Manager aims to reflect a fundamental ESG approach by overweighting its investments in securities which score well against the Investment Manager’s ESG research framework and underweighting the securities which score less well.
Performance Objective: The fund aims to provide a total return (i.e. capital growth plus income), gross of the Ongoing Charges Figure, over any three year period.

Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2024 - September closed out a relatively flat quarter across Asia-Pacific markets, in contrast with the first half of 2024. The weak performance was steered by the Information Technology sector, where issuers like Taiwan Semiconductors Manufacturing, Samsung Electronics Ltd and SK Hynix Inc experienced a significant decline in price. In line with other developed markets, Financials issuers posted strong returns. In Australia, annual inflation fell to 2.8% based on the Consumer Price Index, and the central bank held interest rates steady at 4.35%. The Fund returned (-1.2%) in the third quarter, an underperformance of (-1.5%) compared to its benchmark, which returned +0.3%. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily driven by underweight positions in the Information Technology sector, which detracted 65bps. However, this was cushioned by an underweight to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, due to regulatory single issuer limit. Exclusions detracted 13 bps from active performance. The Fund achieved a higher ESG score and improved sustainability characteristics compared to its benchmark(as determined by the fund manager.

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).

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.

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 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.
