Objective

The investment objective of the PGIM Absolute Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") (Prior to 30 November 2023, the Fund was known as PGIM Absolute Return Fund) is to seek to outperform ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index^ (the “Benchmark”) over a full market cycle on a total return basis. The Fund is actively managed and seeks to add value through investing in a variety of debt securities and instruments and using a variety of investment techniques, which may include actively managing duration, credit quality, yield curve positioning, and currency exposure, as well as sector and security selection in order to identify securities which the Investment Manager believes will provide the best relative value. The investment strategy of the Fund seeks to minimize interest rate risk and put considerably more emphasis on security selection. The Fund may also use to a significant extent, for investment, risk management or hedging purposes, exchange traded and over-the-counter derivatives. The Fund incorporates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into its investment process and promotes certain sustainability characteristics. PGIM Fixed Income has determined that the Fund qualifies as a Light Green Fund, which is a fund that seeks to comply with the principles of Article 8 of the SFDR. Please see the Company’s Fund Documents as defined below for additional information.
