30th January 2010 was unforgettable. It was a Saturday morning and I woke up around 10am. I have planned the day with several appointments to talk about PruInvestor Guaranteed Plus.
As usual, one of the first things I do when I wake up is to check my mobile phone.
1 message from Prudential – Due to overwhelming response, PGP will close today 3pm.
I almost jumped out of bed reading that. In my mind I was thinking how $50 million could be sold out within 1.5 days! It was only launched yesterday on 29th January 2010. Furthermore, smaller tranches in the past took close to a week to sell out.
