M&G Global Basics Fund is a sub-fund of M&G Investment Funds (1) which is an open- ended investment company with variable capital incorporated in England and Wales. M&G Investment Funds (1) has been established as an umbrella company. Its home regulator is the Financial Conduct Authority, United Kingdom. # The ongoing charges figure is based on expenses reported in the Sub-Fund s financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2015 expressed as a percentage of the Sub-Fund s average net asset value over the same period. This figure may vary from year to year. As Euro Class A Net Accumulation and U.S. Dollar Class A Net Accumulation Shares have identical fee structures and their ongoing charges figure is the same, the Management Company considers it appropriate that a single ongoing charges figure be set out.

2 Objectives and Investment Strategy The Sub-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 Sub-Fund may also invest in other global equities. The sole aim of the Sub -Fund is long term capital growth. The Sub-Fund may use financial derivative instruments (including options, futures and contracts for differences) for efficient portfolio management and hedging purposes. The Sub -Fund will not invest extensively or primarily in financial derivative instruments to achieve the Sub-Fund s investment objective or for investment purposes (i.e. there is only limited/ancillary use of financial derivative instruments for investment purposes) What are the key risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the Summary Prospectus for details including the risk factors. 1. Equity Investment Risk The Sub-Fund invests in equities, which are subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in equities. You should not make investment decisions based on past performance of the Sub-Fund or any particular market, as past performance is not a guide to future performance. There can be no assurance that any appreciation in value of the Sub-Fund s investments will occur, and you may not get back your original investment. 2. Currency and Exchange Rates Risk As equities are generally bought and sold in the local currency of the country in which they are listed, the Sub-Fund will hold investments denominated in currencies different from the Sub-Fund s base currency and the currency of each Share Class. The Sub-Fund is therefore exposed to the risk of adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. 3. Emerging Markets Risk The Sub-Fund invests in global equities, which may from time to time include equities in global emerging markets (such as, for example, Russia, Bermuda and Brazil). Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss than investing in more developed markets due to, among other factors, greater political, economic, repatriation restriction, liquidity, volatility and regulatory risks. As a result, the Sub-Fund may be more volatile than a fund that invests solely in securities of companies in more developed markets. 4. Risks relating to uncertainties facing the Eurozone There is a risk that one or more countries will exit the Euro and re-establish their own currencies. In light this uncertainty or in the event that this does occur, there is an increased risk of volatility in asset values, liquidity and default risk. In addition, there is a possibility that economic and financial difficulties in Europe may worsen or spread within and outside Europe and that measures taken by the governments of European countries, central banks and other authorities to address these, such as austerity measures and reforms, may not work. The impact of the above events may be significant and may adversely affect the value of the Sub-Fund. Disruption in Eurozone markets could give rise to difficulties in valuing the assets of the Sub-Fund. In the event that it is not possible to carry out an accurate valuation of the Sub- Fund, dealing may be temporarily suspended. 5. Liquidity Risk The Sub-Fund s investments may be subject to liquidity constraints which means that securities and other instruments may trade infrequently and in small volumes. Normally liquid securities may also be subject to periods of significantly lower liquidity in difficult market conditions. As a result, changes in the value of investments may be more unpredictable and in certain cases, it may be difficult to deal in a security at the last market price quoted or at a value considered to be fair. 6. Restrictions on Foreign Investment Risk Some countries prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on investments by foreign entities such as the Sub-Fund. There may also be instances where a purchase order subsequently fails because the permissible allocation to foreign investors has been filled, which may

3 deprive the Sub-Fund of the ability to make its desired investment at the time. Any such circumstances may adversely affect the Sub-Fund s performance. 7. Derivatives Risk Although the Sub-Fund will use financial derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management or hedging purposes only, i.e. to reduce risk, in adverse market situations, the Sub-Fund s use of derivatives may become ineffective in efficient portfolio management and/or hedging and the Sub-Fund may suffer significant losses. How has the Sub-Fund performed? Past performance information is not indicative for future performance. Investors may not get back the full amount invested. The computation basis of the performance is based on the calendar year end, NAV-To- NAV, with dividend reinvested. These figures show by how much the U.S. Dollar Class A Net Accumulation share class increased or decreased in value during the calendar year being shown. Performance data has been calculated in U.S. Dollar including ongoing charges and excluding subscription fee and redemption fee you might have to pay. Where no past performance is shown there was insufficient data available in that year to provide performance. The Sub-Fund launch date: 1973 The U.S. Dollar Class A Net Accumulation Share class launch date: 2007 U.S. Dollar Class A Net Accumulation Share class has been selected as the representative share class because the majority of investors are subscribing into this share class. As such, it is the Management Company s view that past performance information of this share class should be utilized. Is there any guarantee? This Sub-Fund does not have any guarantees. You may not get back the full amount of money you invest..
