M&G commits £1 billion to power UK innovation, infrastructure and affordable housing

Our Group CEO, Andrea Rossi, reflects on the impact of our latest investment - announced alongside Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves - and the UK growth opportunities it will unlock.

I often speak about the power of long term capital to drive real change, and today I’m proud to share an important step forward.
M&G has set out an ambition to commit more than £1 billion of new investment into the UK economy over the next three to five years through two strategies: the new M&G UK Social Investment Fund and the expansion of our Catalyst strategy. Together, they will back the homes, infrastructure, regeneration projects and innovative companies that will help shape the country’s future.

This is significant for two reasons:

  • Firstly, it shows what can be achieved when institutions work together. By partnering with the British Business Bank and the Scottish Borders Local Government Pension Fund, we are combining experience, capital and local insight to deliver meaningful impact at scale.
  • Secondly, it highlights the vital role pension savings play in supporting economic growth. When customers invest with us through our £130 billion With Profits Fund, including PruFund, their money doesn’t sit still. It is put to work in projects that strengthen communities, grow local economies and support long term, sustainable progress.

This new commitment builds on the £100 billion we already invest across the UK and reflects our ambition to bring even more partners - ranging from local government to international investors - alongside us.

Just this week, a project that demonstrates the capability of our new UK Social Investment Fund came to life with the opening of a new NHS partnered diagnostic centre in Yeovil, supported by M&G investment. Expected to deliver up to 70,000 outpatient and diagnostic appointments each year, the centre will help ease local NHS capacity pressures, reduce waiting times and improve patient access, a genuinely positive outcome.

You can find out more about our work investing in UK growth here – from actively supporting Greencore Homes, a UK housebuilder delivering climate positive homes; to Northern Gritstone, a £300m+ fund investing in university spin outs across the north of England; and Zenobē, a leader in the UK transport and energy sectors providing electric bus fleets and grid scale battery storage.

My thanks to colleagues across our Life Insurance business, led by Clive Bolton, and our Asset Management team, led by Joseph Pinto, for making all of this possible. These strategies will be managed by M&G’s £78.5 billion private markets business and are another demonstration of the strength of our business model and our purpose in action.

Find out more - and hear from Chancellor Rachel Reeves, David Parker, Chair of the Pension Fund Committee for the Scottish Borders Council Pension Fund, and Louis Taylor, Chief Executive of the British Business Bank - by reading our full press release.
