Fund Aims
Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Episode Allocation Fund – the underlying fund.
Underlying Fund Objective:The fund targets combined income and capital growth of at least 5% a year above the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), before any charges are taken, over any five-year period. SONIA reflects the average interest rate that banks pay to borrow sterling overnight from other financial institutions. The fund has a very flexible investment approach, with the freedom to invest in different types of assets. The approach combines in-depth research to determine the value of assets over the medium to long term, with analysis of investors’ emotional reaction to events to identify investment opportunities. The fund gains access to assets directly and indirectly through derivatives. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve a positive return over any period. Investors may not get back the original amount they invested.
Fund Manager
Tony Finding joined PPM (now M&G) in 1997 as an economist. Subsequently, he took responsibility for the generation of views on yield curve and foreign exchange trading opportunities. In 2001, Tony developed his expertise in credit and exotic fixed interest securities by spending time seconded to Prudential's US-based investment management team. Tony has been in his current role as a member of the multi asset team since 1999. In January 2011, Tony was appointed co-manager of the M&G Cautious Multi Asset Fund and the M&G Dynamic Allocation Fund. He has a BSc in economics from the LSE and is also a CFA charterholder.
Stuart Canning has worked with the multi asset team for twelve years and a research analyst since 2015. In those twelve years Stuart has worked closely across the various funds managed the team, and particularly closely with Tony Finding on the M&G Episode Allocation Fund. As well as providing input to investment decision making, Stuart has worked extensively on the marketing material of the M&G Episode Allocation fund to launch the proposition in the institutional space (as a competitor to ‘Diversified growth’ strategies). Stuart also represents the investment team in direct client and prospect meetings for this and other funds. Stuart has also been responsible for driving the written marketing material for the team, having written extensively for the Cayman-based Episode fund for over a decade and leading the team’s blog. Stuart is a Chartered Financial Analyst and has a degree in English and History from the University of York.
Alex Houlding joined M&G as a graduate in 2014 and rotated through various investment teams before joining the Multi Asset team as an analyst in September 2015. He has a degree in economics from the University of Cambridge and has passed all 3 levels of the CFA Programme.

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 net income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.
This factsheet is for information purposes only. If there is information or terminology included that you would like to discuss, then please contact an adviser. Investors should refer to their policy documentation and supporting brochures for fund availability, investment strategy, any product information and charges. Every care has been taken in populating this output, however it must be appreciated that neither Broadridge, Prudential nor their sources guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this information or make any warranties regarding results from its usage.

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).

Aims and Benchmark
| Aims | Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Episode Allocation Fund – the underlying fund. Underlying Fund Objective:The fund targets combined income and capital growth of at least 5% a year above the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA), before any charges are taken, over any five-year period. SONIA reflects the average interest rate that banks pay to borrow sterling overnight from other financial institutions. The fund has a very flexible investment approach, with the freedom to invest in different types of assets. The approach combines in-depth research to determine the value of assets over the medium to long term, with analysis of investors’ emotional reaction to events to identify investment opportunities. The fund gains access to assets directly and indirectly through derivatives. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve a positive return over any period. Investors may not get back the original amount they invested. |

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 net income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.
