You’ll only pay an ongoing charge plus a share of portfolio transaction costs (the costs incurred when funds buy and sell investments). The ongoing charge may vary from year to year, and is mostly, if not exclusively, the Annual Charge which may be discounted depending on the size of the fund. There are no extra charges or hidden costs, which means no service fees and no entry or exit charges on your investments. We might change our charges in the future.
Our latest annual assessment of the value provided to investors in each of M&G’s UK-based funds is now available. It is designed to help you to see whether M&G’s charges are justified in the context of the overall service we deliver. You can find a link to our Annual Value Assessment report on the Annual Value Assessment page.
We will continue to keep you up to date on further improvements we make for our investors as a result of the findings from our Annual Value Assessment.
We also apply discounts to the annual charges on our larger funds based in the UK, to share cost savings that occur from economies of scale with our customers. Therefore, the larger the fund is – in other words, the more money invested in it – the lower the relative proportion of fixed costs of administering and managing it.

Our approach is based on the idea of active fund management, which means we’re constantly looking for the best opportunities for your investments.
As a result, different funds have different levels of charges because of the varying investment approaches that they follow. But we believe that our actively managed funds, with all the added benefits of our hands-on style and investment expertise, have the potential to outperform passively managed funds.
When you’re deciding how to invest, it's important to remember that the value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount than you put in. And, the value will be less than you put in if you take out more than the amount it’s grown by.
