We offer access to a broad range of capabilities that span both public and private assets, including fixed income, equities, multi-asset, real estate, private credit, infrastructure and private equity.

We’re among the largest managers of private assets in Europe. We’re also recognised for our global fixed income expertise, a long track record in multi-asset solutions, and a strong heritage in innovating in equities, including a growing range of sustainability-driven thematic equity funds.

This scale can give us unrivalled access to investment opportunities across public and private markets. We provide a wide range of funds and bespoke solutions to our clients, including segregated mandates, joint ventures and co-investment opportunities. 

Focused on our clients

Our clients are at the centre of everything we do.  And this focus on their needs is supported by our structure as part of M&G plc. Managing money for our internal client creates a strong alignment of interest and a deep understanding of our clients’ objectives.  We use this to build long-term relationships as needs evolve over time, through a strong culture of collaboration and innovation.

We also understand that alongside delivering investment performance, it is critical to provide exceptional client service.  Whether this is through events, webcasts, market commentary or performance updates, our priority is to keep our clients informed – whatever markets may be doing.  We also regularly share our insights into investment markets direct from the investment floor, such as via our award-winning Bond Vigilantes blog.

The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

 

Sustainable investing

Sustainable investing involves making investment decisions incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors whilst trying to have a positive effect, or reduce negative effects, on the environment and society through active ownership and portfolio construction.
