The annual "M&G SDG plc Reckoning report", issued by our parent company M&G plc since 2020, recalled that the scale of financial flows addressing the SDGs is insufficient. It is evident that both the public and private sector must augment action and direct capital towards addressing global problems such as food insecurity, health inequalities, discrimination, pollution, global warming and habitat loss.

Please note, while we support the UN SDGs, we are not associated with the UN and our funds are not endorsed by them.
The value of the fund's assets will go down as well as up. This will cause the value of your investment to fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested.
