Objective

The investment objective of the PGIM Emerging Market Local Currency Debt Fund (the "Fund") is to achieve a return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation while preserving invested capital. There is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of locally denominated emerging market sovereign and corporate bonds, currencies and, to a lesser extent hard currency (ex. U.S. Dollar, Euro and Yen) emerging market securities. Fund investments will be subject to VAG investment restrictions, which require securities to be rated at least B- (Standard & Poor’s and Fitch) or B3 (Moody’s) or the equivalent by another rating agency or, if unrated, as determined by the Investment Manager to be of comparable quality. The benchmark of the Fund is the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index. 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.
