Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G PP UK Equity Index Fund – the underlying fund.
Underlying fund objective: The fund gains its exposure via the M&G (ACS) BlackRock UK All Share Equity fund. The underlying fund aims to be fully invested in the equity securities and equity related securities of companies that are constituents of the FTSE All Share Index. Within the index-related limits, the Investment Manager uses a structured and systematic, bottom-up stock selection process to build a portfolio with similar risk-return characteristics as the Index in order to meet the fund’s investment objective. In addition the Investment Manager aims to reflect a fundamental ESG approach by overweighting its investments in securities which score well against the Investment Manager’s ESG research framework, and underweighting the securities which score less well.
Performance Objective: The fund aims to provide a total return (i.e. capital growth plus income), gross of the Ongoing Charges Figure, over any three year period.

Commentary
Performance as at Q1 2025 - UK equities rose during the first quarter, despite experiencing a decline in March amid increased geopolitical tensions, in line with global markets. Industrials and Financials emerged as the best-performing sectors in the region, fuelled by the government’s commitment to increase defence spending. Year-over-year inflation fell to 2.6% in March, while the Bank of England cut the policy rate to 4.50%. The Fund returned (3.8%) in the first quarter, an underperformance of (-0.7%) compared to benchmark, the FTSE All Share UK Index. Timing differences between the fund and benchmark returns has impacted the relative performance. The majority of the remaining underperformance was driven by the exclusion of tobacco producers, negatively impacting relative performance within Consumer Staples. Conversely, in the industrials sector, overweight positions in high-scoring names like Rolls-Royce contributed positively – as did the exclusion of Glencore Plc, which is screened out according to the Fund’s ESG investment policy. Active risk and liquidity profiles remained within target ranges. The Fund achieved a higher Brand Strength Interest (BSI) Intel score and improved sustainability characteristics compared to its benchmark.

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).

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.
Sector Specific
The fund invests in specific sectors. Funds which invest in specific sectors may carry more risk than those spread across a number of different sectors. They may assume higher risk, as markets/sectors can be more volatile. In particular, gold, technology funds and other focused funds can suffer as the underlying stocks can be more volatile and less liquid.
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.
Property
The fund invests in Property funds, property shares or direct property. In particular the following risks will apply:- The property market is illiquid and this can, in exceptional circumstances, lead to times in which clients are unable to dispose of part or all of their holding. Property valuations are made by independent agents but are ultimately subjective and a matter of judgement. Property transaction costs are high (typically around 7% due to legal costs, valuations and stamp duty)
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.
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).

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
These are specialist equity funds that focus on set geographical regions or a particular type of share e.g. shares of smaller companies or those that conform to certain criteria.
