First life and pension link for M&G Inflation Linked Bond Fund

Skandia has now made the M&G UK Inflation Linked Corporate Bond Fund available to investors via its life and pensions fund range.

The move reflects the strong demand and significant interest that M&G has seen from both investors and IFAs. The innovative M&G fund invests in a range of bonds issued by blue chip companies, such as Tesco, whose yields rise and fall with inflation and is designed to allow investors in credit not only to protect their wealth from the effects of inflation, but also to profit from rising prices in the medium to long term.

"Skandia is a significant partner for our retail business so we are delighted to link the M&G UK Inflation Linked Corporate Bond Fund to Skandia's life and pensions fund range," said Andrew Watson, Director of UK Advisory and Partnership Sales at M&G. "This is the first fund of its kind that has been made available as an insured link via Skandia and we are already in advanced discussions with a number of other key partners."
