Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Discretionary Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund provides a multi-asset approach to investment, holding a mix of UK and overseas company shares, bonds, property, cash plus listed alternative assets primarily through other M&G funds or direct holdings. It is actively managed against an internal 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 1.15%-1.40% 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 Q4 2024 - Equity markets overall produced robust gains during the quarter, in sterling terms, with the return mainly reflecting currency weakness. Performance was driven by central bank moves and political developments. Global equities were led by the US, which rallied following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Major central banks continued their path of monetary easing, despite modest increases in inflation. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) both reduced interest rates twice, while the Bank of England made just one cut. The year concluded with a general slowdown in global economic growth. The fund declined in the quarter and was behind the benchmark and the comparator. In absolute terms, US equity markets drove performance, with Japan making modest gains, while the UK was flat and Pacific and emerging markets and Europe lagged behind, all in sterling terms. The US stockmarket was supported by continued optimism about AI and the country’s healthy economic activity. Market observers also welcomed Donald Trump’s victory in November, encouraged by the prospect of tax cuts and deregulation. Returns for sterling-based investors in the Japanese stockmarket were held back by the weakness of the Japanese yen. UK equities were subdued against a backdrop of a slight contraction in the economy as well as a pick-up in inflation and disquiet over Labour’s budget. China’s stockmarket declined despite further efforts by authorities to support its economy. South Korea’s stockmarket was hurt by weaker economic growth and investors were unnerved by a (failed) attempt by the president to impose martial law. In contrast, Taiwan benefited from the strength of its technology sector. Emerging markets were undermined by a strong US dollar and the possibility of higher trade tariffs from the US. Lagging behind, European equities were hurt by the economic outlook for the region, potential trade tariffs from the US and political uncertainty. Stockpicking in emerging markets, China, Europe, Japan and Pacific markets was modestly supportive, while stock picks in the UK and the US held back returns. In terms of fixed income, global government bonds declined, despite widespread cuts in interest rates. US government bonds experienced significant election-induced volatility and European bonds were affected by political turmoil. UK gilt prices were hurt by concerns over growth and inflation following the new Labour government’s budget. Corporate bonds fared better than government debt, with riskier high yield bonds the best performers. The fund’s allocation to fixed income cost some performance, as did the positions in real estate and alternative assets. The fund has an above-index allocation to equities, comprising a diversified basket of US, UK, Asia and global emerging markets. The fund also has some small below-index positions in European credit and cash. We also hold small above-index positions in US Treasuries and real estate. In a tactical move, mid-way through the quarter we took a small below-index position in US credit and a small above-index allocation to UK gilts. Central banks’ interest rate cutting cycles have been rapidly reassessed in recent weeks, following stronger data, fiscal/policy uncertainty and some stickier inflation. In our opinion, a robust US economy, with the potential for increased spending and tax cuts, should be good for risk assets, but regional differentiation could be larger than usual, with decoupled economic cycles and the potential for trade wars. Heightened geo-political tensions remain a significant near-term risk.

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).
The Industry Classification Benchmark is a product of FTSE International Limited and has been licensed for use.
This factsheet is for information purposes only. If there is information or terminology included that you would like to discuss, then please contact an adviser. Investors should refer to their policy documentation and supporting brochures for fund availability, investment strategy, any product information and charges. Every care has been taken in populating this output, however it must be appreciated that neither Broadridge, Prudential nor their sources guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this information or make any warranties regarding results from its usage.

Aims and Benchmark
| Aims | Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Discretionary Fund - the underlying fund. Underlying Fund Objective: The fund provides a multi-asset approach to investment, holding a mix of UK and overseas company shares, bonds, property, cash plus listed alternative assets primarily through other M&G funds or direct holdings. It is actively managed against an internal 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 1.15%-1.40% 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 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.

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.
