Welcome to M&G

Since 1931, when we launched the UK’s first Unit Trust we have believed in offering our clients straightforward products together with clear and balanced information, to help you make the right investment decisions for your needs.

You’re in good hands

Currently we look after over 365,000 investors and over £228 billion funds under management*, making us one of the largest active investors in the UK.

Our fund managers are highly skilled specialists who don’t simply follow the latest investment fashions. Instead, they each have their own individual and rigorous approach, based on what is best for your investment over the long term.

So not only are you in good company, but you are in good hands too.

A history of firsts

With 80 years' experience of actively managing investments, we are one of the longest established and largest investment houses in the UK. M&G has an impressive array of firsts, including launching:

• the UK’s first unit trust in 1931;
• the UK’s first regular Savings Plan in 1954;
• the first recovery fund in 1969; and
• the first ‘pure’ corporate bond fund in 1994.

Original thinking

M&G has also regularly brought new investment ideas to market that have become established themes for the industry. In recent years:

• we were one of the first investment companies to introduce commercial property to retail investors;
• we pioneered the use of leveraged loans in the retail and institutional markets; and
• we were one of the first investment companies in Europe to enter the CDO market.
