*The benchmark is a target which the fund seeks to outperform. The index has been chosen as the fund’s benchmark as it best reflects the scope of the fund’s investment policy. The benchmark is used solely to measure the fund’s performance and does not constrain the fund's portolio construction. The fund is actively managed. The fund manager has complete freedom in choosing which investments to buy, hold and sell in the fund. The fund’s holdings may deviate significantly from the benchmark’s constituents.
Why thematic investing?
- Powerful social and economic trends could provide selected companies with a source of long-term growth.
- Companies exposed to these thematic tailwinds could prosper to the benefit of their stakeholders, including employees, shareholders and broader society.
- Beneficiaries of structural growth can be found across a broad range of countries and sectors to create a diversified portolio.
Why the M&G Global Themes Fund?
- A disciplined approach focused on companies with robust cashflows and the ability to sustain long-term growth.
- A balanced approach driven by four themes: demographics, environment, infrastructure and innovation.
- The assessment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues is an integral part of the investment process.
The value of investments and the income from them will go up as well as down. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.
The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Movements in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the value of your investment.
Why now?
- The world is undergoing significant change and investors have the opportunity today to access tomorrow’s potential winners.
- Companies are paying increasing attention to ESG to become be er businesses, both from a financial perspective as well as ensuring sustainability.
- In an environment of uncertainty, we believe thematic investing has the potential to provide investors with an avenue for reliable and sustainable long-term growth.
The fund invests mainly in company shares and is therefore likely to experience larger price fluctuations than funds that invest in bonds and/or cash.
