    British money manager M&G has added to the voices criticising a proposed private equity takeover of British supermarket chain Morrisons, saying it does not reflect the true value of the company.

    Rupert Krefting, head of corporate finance and stewardship at M&G, which owns a 1.08% stake in Morrisons, said in an emailed statement that Fortress’s proposals could be achieved by the supermarket chain while remaining in public ownership.

    “The company has experienced a successful management turnaround over the past five years and has a strong balance sheet,” Krefting said in the statement.
