What is Impact Investing?
Impact investing means investing in companies that aim to deliver positive meaningful societal outcomes by addressing the world’s major societal and environmental challenges, while at the same time producing a financial return.
Introducing the Positive Impact Fund
The M&G Positive Impact Fund mainly invests in global companies making measurable, intentional positive contributions towards six social and environmental impact outcomes, including mitigating climate change and improving social inclusion (see below). The fund management team aims to support and advance these positive impacts by engaging with investee companies. At the same time, they aim to generate decent long-term financial returns for investors.
Sustainability label
Sustainable investment labels help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. The M&G Positive Impact Fund holds the Sustainability Impact label. Information on the sustainability related features can be found in the Consumer Facing Disclosure.
Additional information on the sustainability objective, approach and strategy can be found in the pre-contractual disclosure within the Prospectus. Information on the performance of the product against its sustainability objective can be found in the Annual Report.

Examples of companies we invest in
The value of 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 and you may get back less than you originally invested.
The fund can be exposed to different currencies. Movements in currency exchange rates may adversely affect the value of your investment.
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 invests mainly in company shares and is therefore likely to experience larger price fluctuations than funds that invest in bonds and/or cash.
