M&G Investments is a global asset manager, serving customers and clients for nearly 90 years since launching Europe’s first ever mutual fund back in 1931.
We’re part of M&G plc, a family of brands, all aligned behind the same ambition: to manage our customers’ investments so that they can live the life they want, while aiming to make the world a little better along the way.
People are demanding more from their investments and from those who manage them. They want their money to be invested sustainably in assets and companies that don’t harm the planet. But investments must still fulfil their primary purpose – to provide sustained growth and meet people’s long-term financial needs.
Investment companies can’t solve the world’s problems overnight. Responsible investing is a vast, complex subject. Sustainability goals like achieving net zero emissions or improving social equality will impact life for millions of people and will take years to achieve. It’s evolution not revolution.
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. The views expressed in this document should not be taken as a recommendation, advice or forecast.
As the original long-term active investors, we know that sustainability requires serious commitment. We know that meaningful actions speak louder than empty rhetoric. And we know that we can’t create a new world just by forgetting the old one. Investors must consider the trends and changes that will affect our lives over the coming decades as the world becomes more sustainable. They must also acknowledge the risks and opportunities that these changes present. From shifting consumer habits, new regulations, better technology and much more. That’s why we believe it’s time for an investment evolution. One that values forward-thinking and a long-term outlook. An evolution that looks beyond short-term market events to the fundamentals that deliver positive returns, for both investors and the planet.
Staying ahead of the times also requires an active investment approach, with high-quality research and a consistent framework. Active investors have the freedom to pick investments that they believe will adapt and flourish as the world changes. Aiming to good outcomes for the planet, but also good returns for their clients over the long term. While avoiding those companies and assets that actively do harm, or fail to adapt and risk being left behind.
We also believe in the power of engaging with investees. Using our influence to encourage positive changes for the benefit of our clients, society and the planet.
When it comes to the future, there’s no quick fix. Together we can work towards a future that’s better for everyone.
We connect investment, intention and impact. Every investment we make in our positive impact strategies has to be in good companies, with the people and the purpose to deliver a positive impact for society and investors.
With a flexible, diversified approach to asset allocation, we seek to take advantage of different market environments and also from sustainable investing opportunities, looking for the long-term benefit of clients and the planet.
Next-generation technology will shape our future and help us achieve new standards of sustainability and environmental protection. But technology cannot work without infrastructure. That's why we also need to develop next-generation infrastructure. Next-generation infrastructure is at the heart of M&G's infrastructure strategies.
The Paris Climate Agreement made reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions scientifically transparent. By creating strategies aligned with the Agreement, we can help clients make climate-friendly investment decisions.
