The M&G withdrawal form is a short PDF you download from M&G’s website, complete with your account and bank details, sign, and post to M&G Customer Relations, PO Box 9039, Chelmsford, CM99 2XG.1M&G Investments. Contact Us It’s one of three ways to sell M&G holdings; online and phone withdrawals skip the paperwork and are faster, but the paper form remains the route for anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to deal online.

Get the form from the withdrawals page on mandg.com or from the literature library on the same site. The general withdrawal form covers standard OEIC fund holdings. ISA withdrawals and Junior ISA transactions may need different documentation, so check the forms section for the version that matches your account type. Sending the wrong form will get your request bounced back.
If you’re not sure which type of account you hold, any recent M&G statement or valuation letter will say whether your investment sits inside an ISA, a Junior ISA, or a non-ISA OEIC. That distinction matters: Junior ISA money cannot be withdrawn at all until the child turns 18 except in very narrow circumstances,2GOV.UK. Close, Void or Withdraw Investments From a Junior ISA so the form won’t help you access those funds.
Filling In the Form
The form itself is short. Mistakes on any field will delay processing, so work through it carefully.
Your Personal and Account Details
Write your full legal name exactly as it appears on M&G’s records, your M&G client reference or account number, and your current residential address. M&G cross-references every request against its shareholder registry. A name that doesn’t match, even by a missing middle initial, can trigger a rejection. If you’ve recently moved and haven’t updated your address with M&G, update it first or enclose a covering letter explaining the discrepancy.
What You Want to Sell
You have three choices: sell a specific number of shares or units, sell a specific pound value, or sell everything.3M&G Investments. Withdrawing Your M&G Funds and Products State the fund name and share class clearly. If you hold investments across several M&G funds, list each one separately with the amount or number of shares to sell from each. For a full withdrawal, indicate that you want to sell all holdings.
Bank Account for the Proceeds
Proceeds are paid by BACS transfer, so you need the sort code and account number of the UK bank account that should receive the money. M&G verifies these details against anti-money laundering records before releasing funds. If the bank account name doesn’t match the investor name on file, expect additional checks or a request for further documentation. Double-check the numbers. A transposed digit means the payment fails and has to be reissued.
Signatures
Sign and date the form. For a joint holding, every named holder must sign. A missing signature is the single most common reason postal forms get sent back.
Posting It and Proving Who You Are
Send the completed form to M&G Customer Relations, PO Box 9039, Chelmsford, CM99 2XG. M&G will first try to verify your identity electronically. If that check doesn’t clear, which happens more often than you’d expect with recently moved investors or uncommon name spellings, you’ll be asked to provide two documents: one proving your personal identity and one proving your address.4M&G Investments. Verifying Your Identity
- Identity: a current passport or photocard driving licence.
- Address: a utility bill dated within the last six months (mobile phone bills don’t count), a bank statement, or a council tax bill.
M&G accepts certified copies, with the certification coming from a qualified professional such as a solicitor, accountant, or bank official.5M&G Investments. Verifying Your Identity These checks flow from obligations under the UK’s Money Laundering Regulations, which require financial firms to carry out customer due diligence before processing transactions.6Financial Conduct Authority. Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing If you’ve already been verified on your account, a straightforward withdrawal won’t usually trigger a fresh document request, though large or unusual transactions sometimes do.
When Your Sale Is Priced and When You Get Paid
M&G prices sell orders at a daily valuation point. For most funds, the dealing cut-off is 12:00 noon UK time. A sell instruction received before noon is executed at that day’s price; anything received after noon rolls to the next dealing day’s price.7M&G Investments. M&G Investment Funds (12) Prospectus
The timing matters more than most people realise with a paper form. A form posted on a Friday afternoon won’t be opened and processed until Monday at the earliest, and if there’s a verification query, you could miss Monday’s noon cut-off too. Once the sell order is executed, proceeds take up to four working days to land in your bank account.8M&G Investments. Frequently Asked Questions
After the money has gone out, M&G issues a transaction confirmation, sometimes called a contract note, showing the fund name, the number of shares sold, the price per share on the dealing day, and the net proceeds paid to your bank. Keep it. You’ll need it for capital gains tax calculations if the investment was held outside an ISA, where the £3,000 annual exempt amount for 2025–26 and 2026–27 is low enough that modest gains on long-held funds can trigger a liability.9GOV.UK. Capital Gains Tax – Rates and Allowances
M&G does not charge entry fees, exit fees, or any additional cost for selling. The only costs that apply to your investment are the ongoing charges already built into each fund’s daily price.10M&G Investments. Fund Charges
Faster Alternatives to the Form
You don’t have to use paper. If you hold the investment in your sole name, log in to the My Account service at myaccount.mandg.com, or through the myM&G portal at mymandg.co.uk if your account was set up there, and sell part or all of your holdings at any time.3M&G Investments. Withdrawing Your M&G Funds and Products You can also call M&G Customer Relations on 0800 390 390. For joint holdings on the phone, every account holder needs to be on the call when the deal is placed; otherwise the firm processes the sale but holds the proceeds until all holders have signed a written release.
Online and phone orders placed before noon are dealt at the same day’s price, giving you more control over what you receive than a form that may sit in the post for days.
A Note on ISAs Before You Withdraw
You can take money out of an M&G Stocks and Shares ISA at any time without losing the tax-free status of the gains and income earned while the money was in the wrapper.11GOV.UK. Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) – Withdrawing Your Money Once the cash leaves the ISA, though, it sits outside the tax shelter. Whether you can replace it in the same tax year without eating into your annual allowance depends on whether your ISA is “flexible,” so check your account terms before you post the form.
If your real goal is to move the ISA to a different provider, don’t withdraw. Doing so strips the funds of their ISA status permanently. Contact the new provider instead and ask them to initiate a formal ISA transfer, which keeps the tax wrapper intact.12M&G Investments. Transfer Your ISA or Junior ISA to M&G
If You’re Withdrawing on Behalf of Someone Who Has Died
The standard withdrawal form isn’t the right starting point here. M&G needs the original death certificate, a completed Lead Executor Notification Form, and either a Grant of Representation or, where the total M&G investment is worth £36,000 or less and no probate is being obtained, a Small Estates Form with a copy of the will.13M&G Investments.
