Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Long Term Bond Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund invests, via other M&G PP funds, in long-dated bonds split equally between UK Government gilts and corporate bonds. It is a "fund of funds" with the gilts component passively managed. The actively managed corporate bonds are mainly high quality sterling issues, but may include limited amounts of high yield and hedged non-sterling bonds. The split between government and corporate bonds may be reviewed from time to time.
Performance Objective: To match the performance of the benchmark as closely as possible.
With access to investment professionals around the world and assets under management of £178bn, 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.

Performance as at Q4 2023 - UK government bonds (gilts) returned 8.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023, outperforming both US government bonds (treasuries) and German government bonds (bunds). Gilts were supported by increased expectations of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England, as annual inflation eased to 3.9% in November; the market is pricing in six cuts for 2024. Having risen in October, the yield on the benchmark 10-year gilt subsequently fell in November and December to end 2023 at 3.6%, down from 4.4% at the end of the third quarter. Amid falling yields, longer dated gilts, particularly those over 15 years, delivered significant returns. UK corporate bonds also rose, returning 7.3% in the fourth quarter.

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).

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 client’s investment can go down as well as up and the amount your client gets back may be less than they put in.

Part, or all of the periodic annual management fee(s) and expenses may be charged to capital which could increase the potential for the capital value of your investment to be eroded. Your capital could also decrease if income withdrawals exceed the growth rate of the fund(s).
The fund invests in high yield bonds. High yield bonds carry a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds, and economic conditions and interest rate movements will have a greater effect on their price. Income levels may not be achieved and the income provided may vary.
The value of investments, and any income can fall, as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invested. Neither capital nor income is guaranteed.
Investments should be regarded as long term and are not suitable for money which may be needed in the short term, you should always have a sufficient cash reserve.
The value of a cash or currency fund may be affected if any of the institutions with which cash is deposited becomes insolvent or experiences other financial difficulties.
If the fund you choose invests in bonds there is a risk that the issuer may default, resulting in a loss to the portfolio.
What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.
Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.
Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.
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 risk factor definitions are provided by Broadridge. These definitions may differ from those of Prudential or any underlying fund manager. The data itself is provided by Prudential or the underlying fund manager.

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.
