Even back in 1931, when we launched the UK’s first Unit Trust, we believed in straightforward products that clients could understand and trust, a belief that still holds true today. Now as we celebrate nearly 80 years of success, we remain at the forefront of product development and are constantly seeking to manage our funds and adapt our product range to provide maximum benefit for our clients. At M&G we know that our role as an employer is very simple – to provide the right environment for talented people to do their best work. In achieving this we recognise and value peoples’ differences and contributions and know that by employing and managing all kinds of different people, we become a more rounded and balanced organisation, which is a better reflection of the community in which we work. We also realise that by harnessing the collective and complementary skills, knowledge, backgrounds and networks of a diverse mix of people, we are more able to understand the needs of our clients and deliver better results for our shareholders.
