The Expected Growth Rate (EGR) is an indication of how we expect the funds to perform over the year. The EGR is not guaranteed and is not the rate your clients will receive. The rate applied to your clients' PruFund Investment Plan is based on the fund(s) they invested in and the EGR after charges are deducted (as shown in the table above).
