The value of investments will fluctuate, which will cause fund prices to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested.
Our philosophy
At M&G we are active equity investors and our specialty lies in generating alpha, or returns ahead of the markets, through expert stock-picking. We believe the stockmarket has a tendency to be swayed by short-term noise, which creates opportunities for long-term investors. Experience tells us that company fundamentals drive share prices over the long run, not the vagaries of economic cycles or the fickleness of market sentiment.
Consequently, we focus on what really matters for equities: the understanding of companies and their valuation in the stockmarket. This is our area of expertise.
