M&G
M&G plc is a global investment manager headquartered in the City of London. Since its de-merger from Prudential plc, it has been listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
Municipal & General Securities Company Limited launched the First British Fixed Trust in 1931. It held the shares of 24 companies in a fixed portfolio that was not changed for the fixed lifespan of 20 years. The trust was relaunched as the M&G General Trust and later renamed as the Blue Chip Fund.
M&G Investments introduced its savings or "thrift" plans in 1954.
In March 1999 M&G Investments, which by then was the UK's largest unit trust group, was acquired by Prudential plc.
In May 2016, it announced it was to launch a direct online investment service for retail investors to invest directly in its range of funds.
In July 2016, M&G Investments suspended redemptions on its £4.4 billion Property Portfolio fund following heavy withdrawals after the referendum on the UK's exit from the European Union.
In August 2017, Prudential plc (the parent company of M&G Investments) announced it would merge M&G Investments with its Prudential UK and Europe businesses to form a new division. The division would be called M&GPrudential, which the firm described as a savings and investments business. Then in August 2019 it announced that it would de-merge the investment business as "M&G plc". The de-merger was completed in October 2019.
In December 2019, M&G was forced to gate a £2.5 billion property fund after liquidity was challenged. The company said it was due to Brexit and Election uncertainty.
