M&G, one of the oldest and largest retail unit trust managers in the UK, has specialised in investment management for almost 70 years. Established in 1931, M&G introduced Britain’s first ever unit trust and has continued to launch ground breaking financial products ever since, including growth, fixed interest and thematic funds.

March 1999 marked the beginning of a new era for M&G when Prudential plc made a successful bid to buy the company. Now a separate business unit within the Prudential group, M&G has preserved the distinctive ideas and operating style that have given M&G its unique identity whilst utilising the advantages that a large company such as the Prudential offers. M&G currently has assets under management valued at over £120 billion*.

M&G’s investment philosophy is based on a long term view and a reluctance to follow fashion. M&G's equity fund managers build a thorough understanding of each company and sector before deciding whether to invest, and aim to select sound companies whose share price does not currently reflect the potential value of the business.

M&G is one of the City's leading fixed income fund managers, with more assets under management than any other group in Europe, in addition to the largest team of specialist researchers in the industry.

M&G manages funds that, collectively, hold over 5% of the share capital of approximately 200 companies and they take their responsibilities as a large shareholder seriously. There is constructive dialogue with the management of companies in which the funds invest.
