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.

4ESG scores exclude cash and derivatives. Benchmark statistics and ESG scores based on PGIM analytics and may differ from published statistics by official benchmark vendors. PGIM Fixed Income maintains a proprietary ESG ratings framework, where issuers or issues across all fixed income sectors are given an ESG rating in addition to a fundamental credit rating. More than 100 analysts seek to assign ESG ratings based on a 100-point scale in five-point increments, with zero as the lowest and 100 as the highest. In certain instances, it may not be possible or practical to obtain or analyse the information needed to assess and rate each investment and where this is the case our analysts may either make reasonable assumptions in order to rate the particular investments based on, for example, information relating to the particular industry of an underlying issuer or identify the investment as unrated. Does not constitute a recommendation regarding the merits of any investments or investment advice and should not be used as the basis for any investment decision. ESG Ratings are subject to change without notice.
