Impact investing means that when we invest, we're thinking about the positive impact that can be generated by the fund’s investments; as well as the contribution we can make through our resources and impact investing activities to support and enhance these positive impacts.
Your money may be invested in companies providing environmental solutions, taking climate action, or contributing to the circular economy (by reducing or recycling waste, for example), as well as those working towards better health, better work and education and social inclusion.
To help them achieve their objectives, our impact funds only invest in a relatively small number of equities – shares in a company or business. This means that a fall in the value of a single holding may have a greater impact on the fund than if they held a larger number of equities, just as some of our other funds do.
To find out more about equity investing and how it compares to other asset classes such as bonds, property or cash, take a look at the M&G Guide to Equities. Please remember the value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount you put in.
