We stick to our prudent valuation-based investment philosophy
Since our founding in 1994, we've consistently used our rigorous prudent valuation-based approach in managing all our funds. We focus on company valuations (“bottom-up”) instead of broad investment themes (“top down”). We only buy an asset if its price is substantially below its long-term fair value. We are very risk-conscious, aiming to both protect and grow our clients’ savings.
In equities, we also have a bias towards investing in quality companies that are value creators - those that regularly deliver above-average growth in future profits and dividends over time.
We believe that our consistent philosophy and unemotional application of our process will lead to consistent investment performance over time. Consistency is key to successful investing - this is our investment edge.
You can benefit from a successful and experienced investment team
Our highly experienced investment team is dedicated to actively managing our clients’ funds using the same prudent valuation-based investment philosophy they’ve applied successfully for over 25 years. We have a team-based approach to constructing our client portfolios, bringing many expert views to the table, and avoiding a single “star” view. In the rapidly changing financial markets, our team has been remarkably stable, resulting in strong continuity and investment success for our clients.
We are experts in Tactical Asset Allocation
We operate several TAA ‘overlay’ mandates where we aim to add value at the total Fund level by exploiting asset class mispricing through the use of futures instruments to buy or sell asset-class indices. We implement overweight positions in cheap asset classes and underweight positions inexpensive asset classes. M&G Investments was one of the first investment companies to offer TAA as a stand-alone service, both in the UK and in South Africa and as a result, we have one of the most experienced assets allocation teams worldwide.
We put our clients first
Our clients are at the heart of our business and we're committed to providing the highest standards of client service. We've not only invested in great people but state-of-the-art systems too, which enable our experienced in-house team to deliver on all our client queries and transactional support. Our clients can also contact us in a manner that suits them, be it on the phone, our website, email, or even via one of our social media portals.
