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).

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).
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.
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.
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.
