M&G plc

We enjoyed speaking to Precious Appiah at our recent M&G Stars Awards, where she was nominated for two awards and won the inaugural Rising Star award – a testament to her hard work and dedication. Precious is a graduate of our Apprenticeship Scheme and is currently undertaking a full-time Level 6 Financial Crime apprenticeship while working in our Financial Crime Operations team. In recognition of National Apprenticeship Week, we caught up with her to learn more about her journey, her career so far, and why she believes M&G should be at the top of your list when considering an apprenticeship.

Yesterday, we brought together 180 senior leaders from across M&G plc for a focused day reflecting on our progress against our strategic blueprint and purpose, while looking ahead to the opportunities and key priorities for the year. The day featured four deep dives, delivered by colleagues from our Group Executive Committee and senior leadership teams, covering growth plans in our Asset Management and Life businesses, our sustainability ambitions, and the importance of a strong risk and control environment. With strong momentum already in the opening months of 2025, it was a valuable opportunity to reflect on how our unique business model keeps us resilient in the face of challenges while remaining agile to new opportunities. I enjoyed the chance to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas on future growth, and I left the day energised and excited for what’s ahead! Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed.

I enjoyed speaking with Lauren M. at Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE) following M&G Investments’s acquisition of a majority stake in P Capital Partners. We discussed how it enhances our private credit capabilities and is another step towards our goal of becoming the European champion in private markets.   Our ambition is to grow our private markets business, led by Emmanuel Deblanc, and we discussed our six centres of excellence: private credit, structured credit, impact and private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and responsAbility Investments AG. With P Capital, we’re adding a seventh, expanding into the corporate non-sponsor sector. M&G plc's unique business model – where our Life team deploys large-scale capital through the With Profits Fund, and our Asset Management experts identify and manage long-term investment opportunities – is key to our growth and will allow us to develop more solutions for our clients.   The article can be read here: https://lnkd.in/gpENke33

Following the news that M&G Investments has acquired a majority stake in P Capital Partners, we wanted to end the week by sharing a snapshot of our media coverage across key UK and European publications. Led by Louise Shield’s Corporate Affairs and Brand team, the announcement featured exclusively in high profile media titles in many of our key UK and European markets. This included interviews with Group CEO Andrea Rossi, Asset Management CEO Joseph Pinto, CIO of Private Markets Emmanuel Deblanc, and P Capital Partners CEO Daniel Sachs, discussing our growth strategy for our asset management business as we expand our private credit capabilities to unlock opportunities for our clients. Already a leader in European private markets, this acquisition accelerates our strategy to become the European champion in private markets. 🔗You can read more here (in your preferred language!): ▪️Financial Times – https://lnkd.in/eHhs6424 ▪️Dagens Industri - https://lnkd.in/eicisTuu ▪️Handelsblatt – https://lnkd.in/etpr8aJz ▪️Les Echos – https://lnkd.in/e3ijnjHN ▪️Milano Finanza – https://lnkd.in/dy_2cCE7 ▪️FundsPeople (ES) – https://lnkd.in/emXhEkUm

Earlier today, we announced that M&G Investments has acquired a majority stake in P Capital Partners (PCP) – a positive move forward which strengthens our European private markets expertise. P Capital Partners, a European private credit business operating in the corporate non-sponsor sector, specialises in providing bespoke financing solutions to mid-sized businesses who often encounter challenges in securing loans through traditional channels and may not wish to sell equity stakes to fuel growth. P Capital Partners has also been offering sustainability-linked loans for the past decade and has a strong reputation for investing with purpose, which has gained traction with large institutional investors. Complementing this, M&G's private corporate credit lending capabilities stretch back nearly 25 years, when we were the first non-bank lender to invest in European leveraged loans. We invited Emmanuel Deblanc, Chief Investment Officer of M&G's Private Markets division, to discuss why this acquisition strengthens our Asset Management business and supports our growth ambitions, and Daniel Sachs, CEO at P Capital Partners, to tell us more about the evolution of his business.  You can read more about the acquisition here: https://lnkd.in/gyReAMmG

We’re pleased to announce that M&G Investments has acquired a majority stake in P Capital Partners in a move which further strengthens our private markets expertise, where we have the ambition to become the European champion.    A leading European private credit business in the corporate non-sponsor sector, P Capital Partners supports entrepreneurs and family-owned businesses to grow and sustainable technologies to scale. With origins dating back to 2002, P Capital Partners boasts one of the longest track records in European direct lending and has invested in more than 170 companies.     P Capital Partners, based in Stockholm and led by CEO Daniel Sachs, will become part of M&G's £73 billion private markets business, led by Emmanuel Deblanc, complementing M&G’s established £19 billion private credit team and broadening our client offering in markets where P Capital Partners already has strong relationships.    We invited our Asset Management CEO, Joseph Pinto, to tell us more about the acquisition and opportunities moving forward. Later today, we will share further insights about the acquisition in a film with Emmanuel Deblanc and Daniel Sachs.  You can read more about the acquisition here: https://lnkd.in/gyReAMmG
