1 M&G Global Themes Fund a sub-fund of M&G Investment Funds (1) Interim Short Report February 2018 For the six months ended 28 February 2018

2 Fund information The Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) of M&G Investment Funds (1) presents its Interim Short Report for M&G Global Themes Fund which contains a review of the fund s investment activities and investment performance during the period. The ACD s Interim Long Report and unaudited Financial Statements for M&G Investment Funds (1), incorporating all the sub-funds and a Glossary of terms is available free of charge either from our website at or by calling M&G Customer Relations on ACD M&G Securities Limited, Laurence Pountney Hill, London EC4R 0HH Telephone: (Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. M&G Securities Limited is a member of the Investment Association and of the Tax Incentivised Savings Association.) Important information On 17 November 2017, the M&G Global Basics Fund amended its investment objective and policy. It also changed its name to M&G Global Themes Fund. Investment objective and policy up to 16 November 2017 The fund is a global equity fund which invests wholly or mainly in companies operating in basic industries ( primary and secondary industries) and also in companies that service these industries. The fund may also invest in other global equities. The sole aim of the fund is long term capital growth. Investment objective from 17 November 2017 The fund aims to provide a higher total return (the combination of capital growth and income) than that of the MSCI All Country World Index over any five-year period. Investment policy from 17 November 2017 The fund will invest at least 80% of its Net Asset Value in the equity securities of companies across any sectors and market capitalisations that are domiciled in any country, including emerging markets. The fund may also invest in collective investment schemes, other transferable securities and may hold cash for liquidity purposes. Derivatives may be used for efficient portfolio management. Investment approach The investment process of the fund combines top-down and bottomup analysis. The fund manager aims to identify themes arising from long-term structural shifts, changes or trends. Stocks that can benefit from these themes are then selected on the basis of their quality, growth and valuation. Themes are identified through a top-down analysis of global macroeconomics, demographics, government policies and spending, and technological innovation, among other considerations. The bottom-up stock selection process is designed to identify well-run companies which can benefit from those themes and which are trading on attractive valuations with good, sustainable growth prospects. The fund is invested across the market-cap spectrum and is geographically diversified. 1 2

3 Fund information Investment review Risk profile The fund invests globally in the shares of listed companies and is, therefore, subject to the price volatility of the global stockmarket and the performance of individual companies. The fund may also be subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The fund s focus is on companies operating in the basic industries ( primary and secondary industries) and also in companies that service these industries. The emphasis is on selecting those companies that are positioned to benefit from the most compelling global economic trends, driven predominantly by emerging markets. Given its direct and indirect exposure to emerging markets, the fund may be more volatile compared to a fund that invests mainly in the securities of companies in developed countries. The reasons for this greater volatility include: the financial infrastructure in emerging markets is typically less mature, the regulatory systems and disclosure standards are less developed and adverse market and political circumstances are more likely to occur in these markets. However, the fund is mainly invested in the shares of large and medium-sized companies, which are normally traded with relative ease. Moreover, the fund is diversified across countries, industries and market capitalisation, which is key in managing liquidity risk and reducing market risk. The fund s risks are measured and managed as an integral part of the investment process. The following table shows the risk number associated with the fund and is based on Sterling Class A shares. As at 1 March 2018, for the six months ended 28 February 2018 Performance against objective Between 1 September 2017 (the start of the review period) and 1 March 2018, the M&G Global Themes Fund produced a positive total return (the combination of income and growth of capital) across its euro and US dollar share classes, but performance was broadly flat across its sterling share classes.* The fund s returns in all share classes lagged that of the comparative index. Over the six months, returns from the comparative index** were 2.0%, 5.2% and 7.9% in sterling, euros and US dollars respectively. On 17 November 2017, the fund changed its name, objective and policy, and the performance comparator changed from the FTSE Global Basics Composite Index to the MSCI ACWI Index. Over this short six-month period the fund underperformed the comparative index. The fund s aim is to outperform the index over any five-year period. * For the performance of each share class, please refer to the Long-term performance by share class table in the Fund performance section of the Interim Long Report and unaudited Financial Statements for M&G Investment Funds (1). ** Past performance shown from 1 September 2017 to 16 November 2017 is the FTSE Global Basics Composite Index (comprising all subsectors of the FTSE World Index except media, IT, telecommunications, financials and healthcare). Past performance shown from 17 November 2017 to 1 March 2018 is the MSCI ACWI Index. Low risk High risk Typically lower rewards The above number: Typically higher rewards is based on the rate at which the value of the fund has moved up and down in the past and is based on historical data so may not be a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of the fund. is not guaranteed and may change over time and the lowest risk number does not mean risk free. has not changed during this period. 3 4

4 Investment review To give an indication of the performance of the fund, the following table shows the compound rate of return, per annum, over the period for Sterling Class A (Accumulation) shares and Sterling Class I (Accumulation) shares. Calculated on a price to price basis with income reinvested. Long-term performance Six Three Five Since months years years launch % [a] % p.a. % p.a. % p.a.

This will cause the fund price to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. Investment performance The six months under review was a positive one for most global equity markets, which made steady gains throughout the majority of the period. However, towards the end of January 2018, signs of a pick-up in wage inflation in the US led to rising interest rate expectations, which triggered a sudden sell-off in equity markets. Ahead of the correction, many stockmarkets had risen to all-time highs, while others reached their highest levels for many years. Investor sentiment was boosted by better economic data and robust company earnings. Consequently, central bankers are now considering the withdrawal of emergency measures, such as record low interest rates and asset purchases, to curb any rise in inflation. For example, during the review period interest rates were increased in both the UK and US while the European Central Bank is scaling back its asset purchase programme. In developed markets the largest gains were seen in the US and Japan, whereas European stockmarkets, including the UK, lagged. Meanwhile, within emerging markets impressive returns were recorded in Brazil, Russia and China. Unsurprisingly, given the general strength in stockmarkets, defensive sectors (that is sectors that tend to remain more stable throughout the economic cycle.) underperformed. Several of the fund s top detractors came from these sectors, including consumer staples names PZ Cussons and Unilever and healthcare holding, Roche. During the review period, UK-based personal care company PZ Cussons announced a fall in half-year profits and tough trading conditions in the UK. Meanwhile, Unilever reported that conditions in its developed markets remained challenging. Sales growth in the third quarter of 2017 was adversely affected by poorer weather in Europe compared with last year and natural disasters in the Americas. Shares in Switzerland-based Roche, which is one of the principal players in oncology, fell after some brokers revised down their earnings estimates for the company. In particular, Roche is facing increased competition from generic versions of two of its drugs Rituxan and Herceptin. In the mining sector, the fund s position in Hochschild held back returns as well. Shares in the company fell after it released results in September 2017, that showed a sharp decrease in profits compared to the same period a year earlier on the back of higher production costs. In technology, a holding in Microsoft benefited from both the broader rally in technology stocks and solid financial results. The software giant topped analysts estimates for quarterly revenue, helped by brisk growth in its cloud and corporate software businesses. However, not holding online retailing giant Amazon detracted. Elsewhere, industrial names including BYD Company and Porsche also added value. Shares in BYD, a Hong Kong-listed, Chinese manufacturer of automobiles (including electric cars) and rechargeable batteries, rallied sharply following news that China is working on a timetable to ban production and sales of fossil fuelled cars. Meanwhile, German car manufacturer Porsche reported strong profits that rose significantly on the same period a year earlier. The contribution from its subsidiary Volkswagen was one of the key drivers of improved profitability. Despite the healthcare sector lagging the broader market, there were names in the portfolio which contributed to relative returns, such as Hutchison China MediTech and Starpharma. 5 6

5 Investment review Hutchison China MediTech has become the first China-based biotechnology company to take a drug from discovery to production. Fruquintinib which has been developed alongside US pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly increases the chances of overall survival for colorectal cancer patients who had previously been treated with two rounds of chemotherapy. Meanwhile, Starpharma, a biotechnology company based in Australia, announced that there was evidence that the company s drug delivery technology had improved the characteristics of one of AstraZeneca s cancer drugs, by making it more effective and less toxic. Investment activities The M&G Global Themes Fund s investment process aims to identify the companies that are set to benefit from long-term structural changes within economies, industries and societies that happen over time. This is achieved through the analysis of global macroeconomics, demographics and government policies and spending, among other considerations. In this way, our aim is to avoid investing in companies which operate in industries that are structurally challenged. At present, we are focusing on four main themes: Health (the challenges and opportunities posed by an aging population); Security (particularly cyber and food security); Infrastructure (the growing need for transport links such as rail); and Environment (the increasing requirement for energy efficiency and pollution control). The stock selection process is designed to identify well-run companies that are attractively valued and have sustainable growth prospects. During the review period, we initiated a position in UK-listed global pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. This company is focused on oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and respiratory, inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Management has a strong focus on the productivity of research and development and it should benefit from strong growth in its emerging markets-based business. Meanwhile, in financials we bought shares in First Republic Bank San Francisco, a US West Coast private bank and wealth manager. The company s business mix offers robust growth, low credit risk and strong returns. First Republic has a double-digit share of the high net worth market (households with net assets of more than US$10 million) and a strong presence amongst younger adults. For example, the bank offers products aimed at student loan refinancing and loans to enable professionals to buy into partnerships. We also began positions in several mining stocks, including Fortescue Metals, Compass Minerals International and Evolution. Australia-based Fortescue Metals is one of the largest iron producers in the world. Not only is it said to be the lowest cost supplier of seaborne iron ore into China, it also owns several infrastructure assets. Compass Minerals International is a US-listed company which is a leading producer of minerals, including salt, magnesium chloride, sulphate of potash and other plant nutrition products. The company has strong market positions in the UK and US. Near term, Compass is expected to see strong demand for salt used in de-icing, due to the harsh US winter. Finally, we bought shares in Evolution, an Australian gold miner with attractive mining assets and strong management. At the same time, we sold global miner BHP into what feels to us, like an unsustainable rally in diversified miners. In particular, BHP has benefited from a rally in the oil price and an activist investor pushing for change. Global package delivery business UPS also left the portfolio. We are concerned in general about so-called global yield-carry names that is companies borrowing cheaply, to aggressively buy back shares, mainly to pay higher dividends and enhance earnings per share. It is worth noting that UPS sold off heavily in early 2016 after the first US interest rate rise in December 2015, and we are expecting further increases in The sharp rally in the oil price in the second half of 2017 is also expected to have eroded profit margins. Outlook In 2017, global stockmarkets enjoyed one of their strongest years since the global financial crisis. Many recorded double-digit returns and only a handful fell. Stockmarkets benefited from central banks stimulus measures, and in many cases, ultra-low interest rates, as well as healthy earnings growth, all of which supported an increase in earnings multiples. If monetary conditions continue to tighten through 2018, and if the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) tightens more quickly than expected, stockmarkets may weaken. However, we are optimistic that the Fed will be moderate in its actions and that stockmarkets will benefit from sustained earnings growth. 7 8

6 Investment review There are, however, some concerns we have identified: the health of some European banks, the level of student debt and auto loans in the US, and shadow banking and financial leverage in China. On the geopolitical front, risks remain elevated on the Korean peninsula and in the Middle East, while in Europe and the US there are important elections. We continue to focus on identifying well-run companies which have sustainable growth prospects and are trading on reasonable valuations and continue to rebalance the portfolio to reflect its new, broader remit.

8 Financial highlights Fund performance Please note past performance is not a guide to future performance and the value of investments, and the income from them, will fluctuate. This will cause the fund price to fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount you invested. The following chart and tables show the performance for two of the fund s share classes Sterling Class A (Accumulation) shares and Sterling Class I (Accumulation) shares. We show performance for these two share classes because: The performance of the Sterling Class A (Accumulation) share is what most individuals investing directly with M&G have received. It has the highest ongoing charge of all the sterling share classes. Performance is shown after deduction of this charge. All UK investors in the fund therefore received this performance or better. The performance of the Sterling Class I (Accumulation) share is the most appropriate to compare with the average performance of the fund s comparative sector. It is the share class used by the Investment Association in the calculation of the comparative sector s average performance. This share class is available for direct investment with M&G subject to minimum investment criteria, or via third parties who may charge additional fees. The performance shown takes the deduction of the ongoing charge for this share class into account but it does not take account of charges applied by any other party through which you may have invested. The fund is available for investment in different share classes, each with varying levels of charges and minimum investments; please refer to the Prospectus for M&G Investment Funds (1), which is available free of charge either from our website at or by calling M&G Customer Relations. For the specific performance tables of all share classes, please refer to the Interim Long Report and unaudited Financial Statements for M&G Investment Funds (1), which is available free of charge either from our website at or by calling M&G Customer Relations.

10 Financial highlights Operating charges and portfolio transaction costs We explain below the payments made to meet the ongoing costs of investing and managing the fund, comprising operating charges and portfolio transaction costs. Operating charges Operating charges include payments made to M&G and to providers independent of M&G: Investment management: Charge paid to M&G for investment management of the fund (also known as Annual Management Charge). Administration: Charge paid to M&G for administration services in addition to investment management any surplus from this charge will be retained by M&G. Oversight and other independent services: Charges paid to providers independent of M&G for services which include depositary, custody and audit. Ongoing charges from underlying funds: Ongoing charges on holdings in underlying funds that are not rebated. Operating charges do not include portfolio transaction costs or any entry and exit charges (also known as initial and redemption charges). The charging structures of share classes may differ, and therefore the operating charges may differ. Operating charges are the same as the ongoing charges shown in the Key Investor Information Document, other than where an estimate has been used for the ongoing charge because a material change has made the operating charges unreliable as an estimate of future charges. For this fund there is no difference between operating charges and ongoing charges figures, unless disclosed under the specific share class performance table. Portfolio transaction costs Portfolio transaction costs are incurred by funds when buying and selling investments. These costs vary depending on the types of investment, their market capitalisation, country of exchange and method of execution. They are made up of direct and indirect portfolio transaction costs: Direct portfolio transaction costs: Broker execution commission and taxes. Indirect portfolio transaction costs: Dealing spread the difference between the buying and selling prices of the fund s investments; some types of investment, such as fixed interest securities, have no direct transaction costs and only the dealing spread is paid. Investments are bought or sold by a fund when changes are made to the investment portfolio and in response to net flows of money into or out of the fund from investors buying and selling shares in the fund. To protect existing investors, portfolio transaction costs incurred as a result of investors buying and selling shares in the fund are recovered from those investors through a dilution adjustment to the price they pay or receive. The table below shows direct portfolio transaction costs paid by the fund before and after that part of the dilution adjustment relating to direct portfolio transaction costs. To give an indication of the indirect portfolio dealing costs the table also shows the average portfolio dealing spread. Further information on this process is in the Prospectus, which is available free of charge on request either from our website at or by calling M&G Customer Relations.
