Our customers include private investors, members of pension schemes and life insurance policyholders. We think of ourselves as active allocators of capital for people who care where their money goes. Our approach is long-term and we encourage our team of more than 400 investment professionals to think creatively, to act with conviction and to work collaboratively on investment strategies to meet our customersÕ changing needs. ItÕs an approach which has helped M&G to grow its customersÕ assets under management to £275 billion (as of 31 March 2017). Our range of investment strategies has also grown: alongside cash, international bonds and shares, we also put our customersÕ money to work in global real estate and alternative investments such as infrastructure.
