M&G Global Basics FundM&G Global Basics Fund

Investing in tomorrow’s everyday essentials, today

The M&G Global Basics Fund is a global equity fund designed to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in companies that provide products and services which are rarely out of demand, such as:

  • manufacturing
  • food production
  • mining
  • construction, and
  • energy.

The strong and consistent demand for these types of products – the building blocks of the global economy – means the fund is well positioned to deliver steady returns, even in changeable economic conditions.

The Citywire AAA rated* fund manager, Graham French does not follow market trends but adopts a consistent investment approach focused on the long term.

This approach has helped the fund achieve impressive performance and for the second year in a row, we are proud to have been awarded the Moneywise Fund Awards 2007 for best fund in the Global Growth Sector.
