Fund Aims

Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Global Equity Fund - the underlying fund.

Underlying Fund Objective: The fund provides an all-equity approach to investment, holding a 55% UK equity and 45% mix of overseas company shares. For the overseas shares, the fund is actively managed against an internal composite benchmark asset allocation set by the M&G Treasury & Investment Office. It is a “fund of funds” where both active stock selection, within the underlying sector funds, and asset allocation decisions are used to add value. Derivative instruments may be used for efficient portfolio management.

Performance Objective: To outperform the internal composite benchmark by 1.0% a year (before charges) on a rolling three year basis.

Commentary

Performance as at Q2 2025 - In a volatile period, stockmarkets fell sharply early in the quarter in response to President Trump's tariff proposals, which led to worries about a global recession. However, investors responded positively to the announcement of a 90-day suspension of tariffs, and most stockmarkets subsequently recovered their earlier losses. The US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England both left interest rates unchanged over the quarter, while the European Central Bank cut rates in May and June. The fund gained in the quarter and was ahead of the benchmark and the comparator. In absolute terms, Pacific markets, the UK, Europe and emerging markets produced robust gains, while Japan, India and the US made more modest gains and China declined, all in sterling terms. Performance Pacific and some emerging markets made solid gains in the quarter as US-China trade tensions eased. South Korea was a strong performer on the back of the inauguration of President Lee Jae-myung, whose administration has introduced pro-market reforms. South Korea and Taiwan both benefited from the rally in technology shares, while higher commodity prices supported Australia's stockmarket. Investors appreciated Hong Kong's exposure to technology companies, while markets in mainland China are more focused on heavy industry, property and energy sectors, leading to a notable divergence in the fortunes of stocks in Hong Kong and mainland China. The UK was supported by a US-UK trade deal and increasing confidence that a global trade war could be avoided. In Europe, Germany, Italy and Spain registered decent gains, while France lagged the broader region. Despite macroeconomic turbulence, Japanese companies seem to be prioritising balance sheet optimisation, as shown by record-breaking dividend and share buyback announcements. Investors in the US stockmarket welcomed resilient economic data and encouraging company earnings, although returns for overseas investors were dampened by the weakness of the US dollar. Stock picking in the UK and Europe supported performance while stock picks in emerging markets, Japan and China were broadly neutral. Stock selection in Pacific markets, the US and India held back returns. In a quiet quarter for fund activity, the fund maintains a small above-index allocation to equities, comprising a diversified basket of US, Asia and global emerging markets. The economic environment has remained resilient, but risinggeopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty may begin to weigh on sentiment. The recent escalation between Iran and Israel has heightened global risk, while legal challenges to the U.S. administration's proposed tariffs have slowed their rollout. This delay has offered a temporary reprieve for policymakers and trade partners, but markets remain sensitive to further developments.

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

Aims and Benchmark

Aims Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP Global Equity Fund - the underlying fund. Underlying Fund Objective: The fund provides an all-equity approach to investment, holding a 55% UK equity and 45% mix of overseas company shares. For the overseas shares, the fund is actively managed against an internal composite benchmark asset allocation set by the M&G Treasury & Investment Office. It is a “fund of funds” where both active stock selection, within the underlying sector funds, and asset allocation decisions are used to add value. Derivative instruments may be used for efficient portfolio management. Performance Objective: To outperform the internal composite benchmark by 1.0% a year (before charges) on a rolling three year basis.
Benchmark Internal composite benchmark, asset allocation set by the M&G Treasury & Investment Office (T&IO).
Sector ABI Global Equities

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).

Charges and further costs may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now.

Fund Specific Risks

Charges to Capital

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).

Emerging Markets

The fund invests in emerging markets. Generally less well regulated than the UK. There is an increased chance of political and economic instability with less reliable custody, dealing and settlement arrangements. The market(s) can be less liquid. If a fund investing in markets is affected by currency exchange rates, the investment could either increase or decrease. These investments therefore carry more risk.

Value of Investments

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 Long Term

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.

Exchange Rate

This fund invests in securities outside the UK. The value of investments and any income from them may therefore decrease or increase as a result of changes in exchange rates between currencies.

Solvency of Depository

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.

Returns Are Not Guaranteed

What you receive when you sell your investment is not guaranteed; it depends on how your investments perform.

Inflation

Inflation will reduce the real value of your investments in future.

Taxation and Tax Relief

Levels of taxation and tax relief are subject to change.

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.

  • Higher Risk
  • Medium to Higher Risk
  • Medium Risk
  • Lower to Medium Risk

Medium to Higher Risk

These funds offer a diverse geographical spread of equity investment or have multi-asset strategies with a specialist focus (e.g. ethical). The equity funds within this category will have greater overseas exposure and underlying volatility than the "medium" sector.
