Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase shares in UK companies via other M&G funds. It is a "fund of funds" holding units in several more specialised UK equity funds to give access to a variety of methods for generating investment returns in differing market conditions. Fund Investments: At least 80% of the underlying funds' Net Asset Value is directly invested in equity securities and equity-related securities of companies that are incorporated, listed, domiciled or do most of their business in the United Kingdom. The underlying funds may also invest in other transferable securities, cash, and near cash, directly or via funds (including funds managed by M&G) and may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management and hedging.
Fund Manager
The M&G Treasury and Investment Office (T&IO) is our team of in-house investment strategists and ‘manager of managers’ for Pru in the UK. They are independent of the various underlying asset management businesses within M&G plc and carry out various stages of the investment process including setting the strategic asset allocation, manager selection and oversight and portfolio management*. The team includes investment professionals with expertise in capital market research, investment strategy design, liability management, derivatives and portfolio management.

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 product charges, or 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 the fund's currency of denomination 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.

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).
