M&G (Lux) Global Listed Infrastructure Fund

The quest for rising income from essential assets

Reasons to consider investing in listed infrastructure

• Reliable and growing cashflows generated by critical physical infrastructure – long-term assets which are essential for the functioning of global society.
• Listed infrastructure has typically offered characteristics of higher dividend yield and lower volatility compared to global equities, as well as exposure to inflation-linked revenue streams.
• Listed infrastructure provides exposure to long-term structural growth trends including renewable energy, clean transport and digital connectivity.

M&G's differentiated approach

• At least 80% of the fund is invested in the shares of infrastructure companies and investment trusts of any size and from anywhere in the world, including emerging markets. The fund usually holds shares in fewer than 50 companies.
• Investing beyond the traditional realm of economic infrastructure (utilities, energy and transport) and diversifying into social infrastructure (health, education and civic); growth opportunities in evolving infrastructure (communication, transactional and royalty).
• A sustainable approach where the assessment of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations is integrated in the investment process.

Why now?

• In an environment of uncertainty, we believe listed infrastructure could provide reliable and sustainable long-term growth.
• Companies are paying increasing attention to ESG in their efforts to become better businesses, both from a financial perspective as well as ensuring sustainability.
• Fiscal expansion in the wake of COVID-19, including higher spending on infrastructure, may provide a favourable backdrop for the asset class.

Infrastructure assets – an essential part of your day

• Assets on which we rely in our everyday lives – from the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we fall asleep at night.
• Both traditional infrastructure assets and assets that support the increasingly digital world that we live in.
• Opportunities across geographies, including emerging markets.

The value and income from the fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective and you may get back less than you originally invested.

The fund holds a small number of investments, and therefore a fall in the value of a single investment may have a greater impact than if it held a larger number of investments.

The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Movements in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the value of your investment.

Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss due to greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity and regulatory risks, among other factors. There may be difficulties in buying, selling, safekeeping or valuing investments in such countries.

ESG information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. There is a risk that the investment manager may incorrectly assess a security or issuer, resulting in the incorrect inclusion or exclusion of a security in the portfolio of the fund.

Further details of the risks that apply to the fund can be found in the fund's Prospectus.

The fund invests mainly in company shares and is therefore likely to experience larger price fluctuations than funds that invest in bonds and/or cash.

Investing in this fund means acquiring units or shares in a fund, and not in a given underlying asset such as a building or shares of a company, as these are only the underlying assets owned by the fund.
