Investing in the solutions to climate challenges
Examples of companies we invest in
Climate solutions exist across a broad range of sectors. It's a common myth that we must just focus on renewable energy to cut emissions. Whilst this is a big part of the solution there are so many other sectors which can achieve a positive impact.

At least 80% of the fund is invested in the shares of companies, across any sector and of any size, that are based, or do most of their business, in developed markets. The fund is concentrated and usually holds shares in fewer than 40 companies. All companies are assessed on their investment credentials and ability to deliver solutions to the climate change challenge, based on M&G’s proprietary impact assessment methodology.
The fund manager expects that at least 80% of the fund will be invested in sustainable investments with an environmental objective.

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.
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.
