Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Short Dated Corporate Bond Fund - the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective: The fund aims to provide a higher total return (the combination of capital growth and income), net of the Ongoing Charge Figure, than that of the Markit iBoxx EUR Corporates 1-3 year Index (GBP Hedged) over any five-year period. At least 80% of the fund is invested, directly or indirectly through derivatives, in short-dated investment grade fixed and floating rate corporate debt securities and in Asset-Backed Securities. These securities can be issued by companies from anywhere in the world, including Emerging Markets. These securities can be denominated in any currency.
Other investments may include: - below investment grade and unrated corporate debt securities; and - other transferable securities, cash, and near cash, directly or via collective investment schemes (including funds managed by M&G).
The fund aims to hedge any non-sterling assets back to sterling. Derivatives may be used for investment purposes, 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 GBP with gross income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.
