Commentary
Performance as at Q4 2025 -UK inflation remained higher than in many developed markets during the quarter. In August, CPI rose 3.8% year‑on‑year, with services inflation above 4.5% due to strong wage growth. Markets reacted quickly by pricing in rate cuts, pushing gilt yields lower and weakening sterling. Inflation eased through the autumn, reaching 3.2% by November, though forecasts indicate the Bank of England may not meet its 2% target until 2027. The Bank reduced rates again in December to 3.75%, its fourth cut of 2025, in response to weak growth and a softening labour market. UK gilts returned 5.04% over the year and remain attractive heading into 2026.
In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) kept rates unchanged throughout the quarter, signalling the end of its cutting cycle after lowering the deposit rate to 2.00% in June. Inflation has fallen rapidly to around 2%, and policy is now considered restrictive enough. Focus has shifted from inflation to slower economic activity: Germany and Italy stagnated, while France and Spain posted modest gains supported by services and tourism. November brought little change, with inflation on target and growth subdued. In December, European government bonds weakened on concerns about fiscal sustainability—particularly after Germany suspended its debt brake and increased defence spending. The ECB now expects euro area growth of 1.2% in 2026 and inflation just below 2%. European government bonds ended the year with negative total returns.
The US economy softened slightly through the quarter. Job creation slowed, and unemployment rose to 4.6% in November. Inflation remained contained, with headline CPI stable near 2.7% and core inflation between 2.6% and 3%. Despite this, economic activity showed resilience: Q3 GDP expanded at an annualised 4.3% due to strong consumer spending. The Federal Reserve cut rates again in December by 25bps to 3.50%–3.75%, marking its third consecutive cut and reflecting a more cautious outlook. Near‑term growth expectations remain constructive, with early estimates suggesting Q4 GDP of around 3%. Ten‑year Treasury yields ended the year at roughly 4.18%, with full‑year returns still being finalised.
Across credit markets, investment‑grade corporate bond spreads stayed broadly stable in Europe and the UK and widened slightly in the US. Spreads closed at 78bps (Euro), 80bps (UK) and 79bps (US). Total returns were positive across all regions: +0.25% in Euro IG, +2.73% in UK IG, and +0.77% in US IG. Government bond markets produced mixed results over the quarter: UK Gilts and US Treasuries outperformed with returns of +3.22% and +0.74% respectively, while Euro government bonds declined by –0.54%
High‑yield markets followed a similar pattern. Spreads ended the quarter at 264bps in Europe and 281bps in the US, with US spreads widening slightly more. Total returns were positive in both regions: +0.60% for Euro high yield and +1.35% for US high yield, with the latter once again outperforming.

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).
High Yield Bonds
The fund invests in high yield bonds. High yield bonds carry a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds, and economic conditions and interest rate movements will have a greater effect on their price. Income levels may not be achieved and the income provided may vary.
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.
Solvency of Bond Issuers
If the fund you choose invests in bonds there is a risk that the issuer may default, resulting in a loss to the portfolio.
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.
Lower to Medium Risk
These funds may invest in corporate bonds or multi-asset strategies with a higher weighting in corporate bonds (and other comparable strategies).
