Fund Aims

Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G UK Income Distribution Fund - the underlying fund.

Underlying Fund Objective: The fund aims to provide: a higher annual yield than the FTSE All-Share Index; an income stream that increases annually; and a higher total return (capital growth plus income), net of the Ongoing Charge Figure, than a composite index (comprising 70% FTSE All-Share Index and 30% FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts All Stocks Index) over any five-year period. At least 70% of the fund is invested in UK company shares. It may also invest in investment grade government and corporate bonds denominated in sterling. The fund typically invests in a portfolio of high-yielding UK stocks, meaning it tends to have a bias towards out-of-favour, undervalued stocks. The fund's allocation to bonds is primarily aimed at reducing volatility, whilst providing an alternative stable source of income.

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 product charges, or 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 net income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.

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.
