Fund manager: Simon Bailey
Products available: ISA, OEIC & Savings Plan
The Fund invests in smaller companies, where good management can have most impact on earnings. Investment in such shares can offer prospects of above average capital growth. Income is not a major factor and the yield can be expected to be less than that of the FTSE All-Share Index.
The Fund uses a bottom-up approach in order to capture the superior long term growth that can be found in smaller organisations.
Simon joined the Prudential in 1997. Two years later, he became a member of the UK equity small company team. Simon took over management of his first funds in April 2000 and added the M&G Smaller Companies Fund a year later.
