PGIM Laddered Fund Risks

The Funds are a “funds of funds” and are subject to Underlying ETF and SPY risks, in that the value of investments in the Funds will be related to the investment performance of the Underlying ETFs and, in turn, SPY. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Funds are closely related to the principal risks associated with the Underlying ETFs and its investments. Exposure to the Underlying ETFs will also expose the Funds to a pro rata portion of the Underlying ETFs’ fees and expenses. The fluctuating value of the FLEX Options will affect the Underlying ETFs’ value and, in turn, the Funds’ values. The Funds intends to generally rebalance its portfolio to equal weight (i.e., 81⁄3% per Underlying ETF) quarterly, in connection with the reset of the cap of each Underlying ETF. In between such rebalances, market movements in the prices of the Underlying ETFs may result in the Funds having temporary larger exposures to certain Underlying ETFs compared to others. Exposure to the Underlying ETFs will also expose the Funds to a pro rata portion of the Underlying ETFs’ fees and expenses.

The Underlying ETFs invest in FLEX Options and to the extent that the Underlying ETF writes or sells an option, if the decline or increase in the underlying assets is significantly below or above the exercise prices of the written options, the Underlying ETFs and, in turn, the Funds could experience a substantial or unlimited loss. FLEX Options are also subject to the risk that they may be less liquid than other securities, including standardized options, as well as trading risks as they are required to be centrally cleared and valuation risks.

The Funds’ risk include, but are not limited to, target outcome period risk, where in the event the Funds acquire shares of Underlying ETFs after the first day of a Target Outcome Period or disposes of shares prior to the expiration of the Target Outcome Periods, the value of the Funds’ investment in Underlying ETF shares may not be buffered against a decline in the value of SPY and may not participate in a gain in the value of SPY for the Funds’ investment period; buffered loss risk, in which there can be no guarantee that the Underlying ETFs will be successful in its strategy to provide downside protection against losses; cap change risk in which new caps for an Underlying ETFs are established at the beginning of each Target Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Target Outcome Periods; and capped upside risk in that since the Funds will acquire shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Funds and during each quarterly rebalance, the Funds typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of a Target Outcome Period. In the event that the Funds acquire Underlying ETF shares after the first day of a Target Outcome Periods and the Underlying ETFs have risen in value to a level near or at the cap there may be little or no ability for the Funds to experience an investment gain on those Underlying ETF shares; however, the Funds will remain vulnerable to downside risks.            

As actively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs), the Funds are subject to risks involved with: ETF shares trading risk (including the risk of the shares trading at a premium or discount to net asset value or the lack an active trading market); authorized participant concentration risk; and the risk of transacting in cash versus in-kind. The Funds are subject to market risks, including economic risks, as well as market disruption and geopolitical risks (the value of investments may decrease, and international conflicts and geopolitical developments may adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets, including increased volatility); and portfolio turnover risk, in that the Funds’ turnover rate may be higher than that of other ETFs which may involve expenses and lead to the realization of capital gains.

As new and relatively small funds, the Funds’ performance may not represent how the Funds are expected to or may perform in the long-term. Large shareholders could subject the Fund to large scale redemption risk. Your actual cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. There is no guarantee the Funds’ objective will be achieved. The risks associated with the Funds are more fully explained in the Funds’ prospectus and summary prospectus.
