Prudential group some funds in to specifc categories for Marketing purposes:
Dynamic Portfolios
With so many funds to pick from, it can be a daunting task selecting the right funds that can meet your investment objectives. To help you, we offer five portfolios designed to meet different investment objectives and match different attitudes to risk. Each of our Dynamic Portfolios is a "fund of funds" which means that they invest in a collection of funds, which are themselves run by leading investment managers.
The Dynamic Portfolios utilise the combined expertise of Prudential's Portfolio Management Group (PMG) and Old Broad Street Research (OBSR), a Morningstar Company, one of the UK's most respected investment research companies.
PruSelect Funds
These are funds which have been chosen by Old Broad Street Research (OBSR), a Morningstar company.
OBSR have been reviewing the performance of funds and fund managers since 1999, and we've asked them to provide us with a list of the funds that they believe are some of the best available. The funds OBSR have selected cover a range of asset types and styles of investment. Some of these funds invest in a single type of asset whilst others invest in more than one.
PruFund Funds
The PruFund Funds invest in Prudential's With-Profits Fund. The returns on these funds may differ from the returns on the With-Profits Fund due to the smoothing process used and differences in the asset mix and the fund objectives. Each PruFund Fund and its corresponding PruFund Protected Fund has the same unit price and spread of investments, but the PruFund Protected Funds have the added benefit of a range of guarantees which have an extra charge.
PMG Multi-Asset Funds
Multi-Asset funds work by spreading your money across a number of different types of assets. These can include different investments, such as company shares, fixed interest bonds, cash and property – from both the UK and abroad. Funds in this group utilise the proven investment expertise of Prudential's Portfolio Management Group (PMG).
Distribution Income Funds
These funds can pay out a natural "income" based on what the underlying assets in the fund have earned (this can include dividends from shares, lease payments from properties, interest from fixed interest holdings).
