PGIM Emerging Market Blend Debt Fund
$
)
The investment objective of the PGIM Emerging Market Blend Debt Fund (the "Fund") is to seek to achieve a return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation while preserving invested capital. The benchmark of the Fund is 50% J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index/50% J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index. The Fund will use the relative value approach through which it will seek to identify and capture market inefficiencies, such as securities which are mispriced relative to the Investment Manager's expectation, within the emerging market fixed income and foreign exchange markets with an actively-managed approach. There is no assurance that such objective will be achieved. Please see the Company's Fund Documents as defined below for additional information.

2The Credit Quality allocation is based on the current ratings methodology of Bloomberg Global Family of Indices, which is as follows: If each of the Ratings Agencies (Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) assigns ratings to an instrument, the methodology will attribute the middle rating to the instrument after dropping the highest and lowest ratings. If only two Ratings Agencies assign ratings, the methodology will attribute the more conservative (lower) rating of the two. If only one Ratings Agency assigns a rating, the methodology will attribute that rating.
