How does PruFund Planet work?
Our PruFund Planet funds are designed to grow your money over the long-term.
Of course with any investment, the value can go down as well as up so you may not get back the amount you put in.
As well as aiming to exclude companies and projects in areas that do harm to the planet such as controversial weapons, PruFund Planet goes one step further proactively looking for opportunities that focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors. PruFund Planet also looks to invest some of your money in areas that have specific goals to help contribute to a better world. For example it may be things like reducing carbon emissions by a certain amount or having diverse workforces by a certain date. These companies and projects are also held accountable in meeting those targets. So you’ll know that your money is helping to make a difference.
Areas of focus for positive outcomes driven by PruFund Planet

- Spread the risk of your investment over a number of different types of investments such as cash, bonds, property and shares
- Pool money from all investors – giving you greater buying power and also means you can access investments you couldn't as an individual
- Smooth some of the extreme short-term ups and downs of direct stock market investments. This means that you would potentially not benefit from the full upside of rises or suffer from the full downside of falls in investment performance, which can help to provide more stable returns.
