Our view doesn't count as much as yours
Listen to peers discuss why they consider using PruFund as part of their overall client strategy, including:
- Why advisers like PruFund as a fund offering.
- Types of clients advisers consider PruFund for.
- How clients have felt about performance and the outcome they’ve received.
The value of any investment can go down as well as up so your clients might get back less than they paid in. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Managing PruFund
A combination of an established smoothing process, global diversification and fund management expertise - Our PruFund funds aim to provide your clients with a smoothed investment journey.
Expected Growth Rates (EGRs) - a forward looking projection, which reflects our view of how we think each PruFund fund will perform over the medium to long term (5-10 years or more).
Access to the asset allocation and investment expertise of the M&G Treasury and Investment Office (T&IO), who manage around £152bn of Assets Under Management (as at December 2022).
Choice of seven multi-asset PruFund funds helps cater for different attitudes to risk and capacity for loss.
Managing volatility
PruFund has two advantages here:
- Its smoothing mechanism can help to protect your client's investment from the impact of short term market volatility
- Its diverse asset allocation spreads risk and helps to avoid concentration of exposure in different asset classes and geographical locations.
We also have to take into account shorter-term performance, which means we’ll continually monitor the underlying fund performance and make adjustments to the fund value, up or down, when necessary. These are known as Unit Price Adjustments (UPAs).
The value of any investment can go down as well as up so your clients might get back less than they paid in
