PPM America manages assets for Prudential's US, UK and Asian affiliates and provides investment services to other affiliated and unaffiliated institutional clients including collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), private equity funds, institutional accounts and mutual funds.
IFRS operating profit in the first half of 2008 was £1 million, down from £4 million in the same period in 2007 at CER due to losses on consolidated investment vehicles that more than offset continued growth of the fixed income portfolio managed on behalf of the US insurance operations.
