Fund manager: Alex Odd
Products available: ISA, OEIC & Savings Plan
The Fund invests mainly in a range of UK equities with the aim of achieving income growth. The target yield is at least 15% higher than that of the FTSE All-Share Index. Subject to this, the aim is to maximise total return (the combination of income and growth of capital).
The Fund tends to have a modest tilt towards lowly valued stocks due to the requirement for yield and the fact the fund manager is seeking to buy stocks at attractive valuations where the quality of that company is not generally appreciated by investors.
Alex joined M&G in February 2005 as a fund manager on the UK equity team.
In September 1995 Alex began his career with PriceWaterhouseCoopers as a trainee auditor. From January 1997 he worked for Jupiter Asset Management as assistant fund manager to Anthony Nutt, as well as supporting, in an analyst capacity, the rest of the UK team.
In 1995 Alex gained a BA (Hons) degree from Manchester University in politics and modern history.
