Watch our video to learn how our new fund is investing in solutions to the greatest challenge facing the planet and future generations.
Our focus
The M&G Climate Solutions Fund is designed to deliver both financial returns for investors and a positive impact for the planet. We aim to do this by investing in companies that we believe can deliver solutions to the challenge of climate change.
We focus on three main impact areas – clean energy, green technology and the promotion of a circular economy – that present a breadth of long-term opportunities for investors.
The fund embraces the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a universally recognised articulation of the most pressing challenges facing people and the planet. We look to invest in companies that are making a material, measurable and positive contribution towards any of the six key SDGs that relate to climate change.
The fund's holdings fall into three clear categories.

What are the risks?
Like any investment, you should carefully consider if the M&G Climate Solutions Fund fits with your personal aims and objectives before investing. Importantly, you should also check that the profile of the fund matches your own investment timeframe and appetite for risk and reward.
The value of any fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested.
