How it started
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.
2000–2020
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.
