How we manage our With-Profits fund

Principles and Practices of Financial Management (PPFM)

Our PPFM explains how we manage our With-Profits fund including the nature and extent of the decisions we take to manage the fund and how we apply discretion to treat customers and shareholders fairly, by managing their sometimes competing and conflicting interests.

It covers all with-profits policies issued in the UK by companies in or acquired by the Prudential group i.e. by Prudential Assurance Company Limited (PAC), Scottish Amicable Life plc, Scottish Amicable Life Assurance Society, Prudential (AN) Limited and Prudential International Assurance plc. It also covers the with-profits annuity policies transferred from the Equitable Life Assurance Society to PAC.

The Principles define the overarching standards adopted in managing PAC's with-profits business and describe the approach used in responding to longer-term changes in the business and economic environment.

The Practices describe the approach used in responding to changes in the business and economic environment in the shorter-term, hence they will change more frequently than Principles.

This version of the PPFM was published in November 2018. The contents of the PPFM may be amended in the future and an updated version of the document will be published on our website as soon as practical after any changes are finalised. Please ensure you have also read the Key Features Document and Customer Friendly version of the PPFM appropriate for your product.

You can download the PPFM via the link below or call our Customer Service Team on 0800 000 000. Opening times are 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. Calls may be monitored or recorded for quality and security purposes.
