U.S. Short Duration- Higher Quality High Yield

Investment Objective

PGIM Fixed Income's U.S. Short Duration Higher Quality High Yield Strategy seeks to outperform the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 1-5 Year Ba/B 1% Capped Index over a full market cycle.1,2  We expect tracking error based on historical volatility measured over a long-term period to occur from holding position sizes in portfolios that differ from the issuer’s weighting in the benchmark and from holding positions in issuers that are not in the benchmark.

Investment Philosophy

PGIM Fixed Income believes that actively managed high yield bond portfolios, constructed from the bottom up using methodical, research-based subsector and security selection, can lead to consistent outperformance versus the broad high yield index with a high information ratio.

Investment Process

PGIM Fixed Income employs a disciplined, three-step investment process to manage U.S. Short Duration Higher Quality High Yield Portfolios:

1 There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.

2 On average, over a full market cycle defined as three to five years.

No risk management technique can guarantee the mitigation of elimination of risk in any market environment.
