Commentary
Performance as at Q3 2024 - The price of UK government bonds (gilts) rose 2.4% in the third quarter of 2024, but underperformed US government bonds (treasuries) and German government bonds (bunds). The yield on the 10-year UK gilt fell to 4.0%, from 4.2% at the end of June (bond yields and prices move in opposite directions). The UK’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate held steady at 2.2% in July and August, just above the Bank of England’s (BoE) 2% target. The Bank of England (BoE) reduced interest rates by 25 basis points to 5% in August as inflationary pressures had “eased enough”, according to BoE Governor Andrew Bailey. However, in September, the central bank held interest rates steady on concerns over wage growth. As widely expected, the general election in July saw the Conservative Party ousted after 14 years in power and Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party win a substantial parliamentary majority. In the period, shorter-dated gilts underperformed longer-dated gilts, while UK corporate bonds returned 2.4%.

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).
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.

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.
