Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Global Sustain Paris Aligned Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund has two aims: - To provide a higher total return (capital growth plus income), net of the Ongoing Charge Figure, than that of the MSCI World Index over any five-year period; and - To invest in companies that contribute towards the Paris Agreement climate change goal.
At least 80% of the fund is invested directly in equity securities and equity-related securities of companies across any sector and market capitalisation that are domiciled in any country, including Emerging Markets. The fund has a concentrated portfolio and usually holds fewer than 40 companies. The fund invests in securities that meet the ESG Criteria and Sustainability Criteria. The following types of exclusions apply to the fund's direct investments: - Norms-based exclusions: investments that are assessed to be in breach of commonly accepted standards of behaviour related to human rights, labour rights, environment and anti-corruption. - Sector-based and/or values-based exclusions: investments and/or sectors exposed to business activities that are assessed to be damaging to human health, societal wellbeing, the environment, or otherwise assessed to be misaligned with the fund's sector-based and/or values-based criteria. - Other exclusions: investments assessed to be otherwise in conflict with the ESG Criteria and Sustainability Criteria. The fund may also invest in other transferable securities, money market instruments, cash and near cash for liquidity purposes, directly and via collective investment schemes (including funds managed by M&G). Derivatives may be used for Efficient Portfolio Management and hedging.

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 the fund's currency of denomination 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.

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).
Concentrated Portfolio
The fund may invest in a relatively smaller number of stocks. This stock concentration may carry more risk than funds spread across a larger number of companies.
Smaller Companies
The fund invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies shares can be more volatile and less liquid than larger company shares, so smaller companies funds can 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.
Income Eroding Capital Growth
The fund focuses on providing an income, which can reduce the prospects for capital growth, and in some cases the capital value may fall.
Umbrella Liabilities
If the liabilities of one fund were to exceed its assets, the other funds within the scheme might have to transfer across money to cover the liabilities.
Liquidity
This fund can suffer from partial or total illiquidity, which may lead to considerable price fluctuations and the inability to redeem your investment.
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).
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.
