Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP North America Equity Index Fund – the underlying fund.
Underlying fund objective :The fund aims to have similar risk-return characteristics as the FTSE North America Index. The fund gains its exposure via the M&G (ACS) BlackRock US Equity Fund and the M&G (ACS) BlackRock Canada Equity Fund. The underlying funds aim to be fully invested in the equity securities and equity related securities of companies that are constituents of the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE Canada Index respectively.

Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2024 - The US equity market posted broadly positive returns during the third quarter, in continuation with the first half of the year. The S&P 500 faced two large selloffs in August and September, triggered by the possibility of trade restrictions in key industries like semiconductors, as well as fears of recession. However, the market recovered quickly amid robust macroeconomic data and the prospect of lower future interest rates. Financials and Industrials emerged as the best performing sectors during the quarter, supported by the strong demand for credit and financial services as well as for electrification and automation solutions. During its September meeting, the Federal Reserve cut its policy rate by fifty basis points. Inflation fell to 2.4% in September. Nonfarm payrolls expanded by 254,000 in September, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. The Canadian equity market delivered positive returns in the third quarter of 2024. Similar to other developed market countries, Financials issuers like banks delivered the strongest performance over the quarter, amid high interest rates and strong demand for credit and financial services. On the other hand, Energy names like Cenovus Energy Inc and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd underperformed. In its September meeting, the Bank of Canada cut the interest rate by twenty-five basis points, lowering it to 4.25%. Annual Inflation rate fell to 1.6%. The Fund declined (-1.4%) in the third quarter, underperforming the benchmark by 1.5%. Timing / operational differences accounted for most of the difference, with a further drag coming from overweight US equity positions in Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary. For example, Merc & Co Inc (Health Care) and Lam Research (IT) were key detractors, whilst overweight positions in Financials benefited returns. In Canada, stock positioning in the Energy and Materials sectors were the key contributors to an overall underprformance. The Funds 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.
