At M&G we have a long history of active equity investing. In 1931, M&G launched the UK's first Unit Trust. Since then, we have been dedicated to delivering attractive stock market returns to our investors. In response to market developments and investors changing needs over the years, we have designed innovative investment solutions that harness new opportunities and meet our clients' investment goals. For example, dividend funds designed to deliver growing income, infrastructure equity funds, and impact funds that aim to tackle some of the world's biggest social environmental challenges. These are just some of the strategies that demonstrate our track record of innovation and original investment thinking. Today, we offer a broad range of strategies covering different markets, investment styles and themes. They also provide different investment outcomes. As active investors, we seek to deliver superior investment performance through careful stock selection. Our ability to generate alpha is founded upon a disciplined investment process, expertise and research capabilities. At M&G the equities team is made up of highly experienced investors who are experts in their particular market, region or sector. With investment professionals across the United States, the UK, Japan, India, Singapore and Hong Kong, the team can access a wide range of investment opportunities. And when it comes to stock picking, our investment philosophy is founded upon three fundamental pillars. First, active decision making. We do not follow the herd. We search out the most promising opportunities. Second, proprietary research. In-depth analysis by our expert fund managers and in-house analysts help us pick attractive stocks. Finally, the integration of environmental, social and governance factors and responsible stewardship. We want our values and our clients' values to be reflected in our investments. At M&G, we combine experience and expertise. We have been dedicated active investors for a long time. We believe that we have the skills and the capabilities to select promising opportunities across the globe, and we have our eye on the future. We remain focused on creating those solutions that will continue to meet our clients' investment requirements in the coming decades. Thank you for entrusting your savings and your investments with us.
