The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount you put in.
As well as the potential for growth, more and more people want their money to be invested in a way that benefits communities, helps solve environmental issues and contributes to a cleaner, better world, all while targeting long-term returns for the future.
As governments around the world come together and sign up to long-term targets to help fix the planet, it makes sense that clean energy solutions, carbon capture technology and waste disposal innovation could be the growth sectors of the future, helping to make these targets a reality. You’re in the driving seat, so why not get your ISAs working for something more than just financial returns this year?
At M&G, we believe it’s the longer-term financial decisions, as well as the day-to-day choices we make, that have the potential to create a brighter future for us all. And while we offer a wide range of funds, each with their own individual aims and objectives, our Planet+ funds can help meet this need, and aim to achieve something better for the environment and society, one investment at a time.

Introducing the M&G Planet+ funds
Our range of Planet+ funds have been built with two clear aims in mind – to deliver long-term financial returns for our customers and to contribute towards a better future for society and the planet.
Within the range, there are both sustainable and impact funds to choose from, both aiming for long-term financial returns while achieving something better.
Impact funds
Impact funds target a measurable, positive impact for people and the planet, alongside achieving long-term financial returns. To do this they will:
- aim to invest in companies that have the explicit intention of addressing the world’s major social and environmental issues
- look for companies that deliver a meaningful and measurable positive impact, often framed against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- report transparently on the impact that investments deliver
Sustainable funds
Sustainable funds look to make investments that contribute towards a more sustainable future for society and the planet. To do this they might:
- use sustainability considerations, such as the urgent need to combat climate change, or the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to frame what a fund invests in
- look to invest in the assets of companies, governments or organisations that have strong ESG (environmental, social and governance) credentials
- have targets to improve sustainability across the portfolio over time
