We re changing our fund range We regularly review the funds that we offer our clients. Following recent reviews we ve decided to close the funds detailed below. We re closing the M&G funds below to remove duplicate funds from our range. Clients will still be invested in the same underlying fund, and some may benefit from lower fund charges. Closing a fund is not an option we take lightly, but it s sometimes done, if our conviction in a fund s ability to generate good and consistent outcomes for customers has deteriorated significantly. We ve also provided details of our suggested replacement funds, and the dates that we intend to close the funds. These dates may change. Our Fund Guides will be updated to reflect these changes at pru.co.uk/fund_guides We ll write to clients investing in any of the closing funds. If they need to make a decision we ll give them six weeks to choose to: Move their investment into any of the other funds within their product range. They ll need to complete and return the form we ve included in their letter by the date given. Once we receive their form, we ll move their investment and any future contributions into the fund they ve chosen. Do nothing. At the closure date we ll move their investment and any future contributions into our suggested replacement fund. funds closing dates Life Funds Closing 22 June 2018 M&G Corporate Bond Fund M&G Gilt and Fixed Interest Income Fund Closing 27 July 2018 Aviva Investors UK Property Fund JP Morgan US Select Fund (previously JP Morgan US Fund) Jupiter UK Growth Fund M&G UK Equity Income Fund Newton Continental European Fund Standard Life Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund Pension Funds Closing 22 June 2018 M&G Corporate Bond Fund M&G Gilt and Fixed Interest Income Fund M&G UK Equity Income Fund Closing 27 July 2018 JP Morgan US Select Fund (previously JP Morgan US Fund) Jupiter UK Growth Fund Standard Life Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund This is just for UK advisers please don t show it to your clients
