Significant events
- “In September 2024, M&G Pic announced that, as part of its business transformation efforts, it had conducted a strategic review of its Wealth business. Upon completion of this review, the Group concluded that its competitive position in the wealth market was not sufficiently robust to ensure profitable growth without additional resource commitments. Consequently, the Group has decided to rationalise its Wealth strategy and pursue an exit of the business as part of a broader focus on the Group's core business areas.”
