M&G
At M&G, our purpose is clear: We want to help you, and your clients, to prosper by putting your investments to work.
Investing well for our customers demands a responsible, active and long-term approach. We look for the best opportunities to invest, across a wide range of assets for people who care how their money is invested.
Currently M&G look after over 219,000* investors and have more than £271.6 billion** funds under management.
M&G believes that to lead the market, not to follow it, requires creative thinking, acting with conviction and working collaboratively. This combination of vision, expertise, and insight is what makes us different.
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.

About WisdomTree
WisdomTree Investments, Inc., through its subsidiaries in the US, Europe and Canada (collectively, "WisdomTree"), is an exchange traded fund ("ETF") and exchange traded product ("ETP") sponsor. WisdomTree was founded in 2006 with a passion for creating better ways to invest, by being the first investment manager to weight by dividends. We have never accepted the status quo and we think our investors shouldn’t either.
Since 2014, our European business has grown in terms of our product set and AUM. In April 2018, we completed the acquisition of ETF Securities' exchange-traded commodities, currencies and short-and-leveraged business, including the world’s first gold ETP. In September 2019, we unified 224 products under the WisdomTree brand and closed 192 duplicative or extraneous products across our product set.
Today we are the biggest independent ETP provider globally and offer one of the most innovative ranges of ETPs, covering commodities, currencies, equities, fixed income and alternatives.
At WisdomTree, we are committed to providing superior investment and trading solutions for our clients. It’s what motivates us to challenge and innovate. As we grow, we will keep redefining investment strategies that enable investors to outperform cap-weighted indices and to diversify their portfolios beyond traditional asset classes.
