Fund Aims

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

Underlying fund objective: The fund gains its exposure via the M&G (ACS) BlackRock UK All Share 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 All Share Index. Within the index-related 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 objective. In addition 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 - UK equities registered another quarter of positive returns in the third quarter 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, the relatively resilient economic backdrop – gross domestic product expanded by 0.5% in the second quarter – and inflation heading towards the Bank of England’s (BoE) 2% target lifted investor confidence. 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 businesses in the FTSE 100.

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).

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.
