Investment Objective

PGIM Fixed Income's U.S. Broad Market High Yield Strategy seeks to outperform the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 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.
