NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 23, 2019 – PGIM, the global investment management business of U.S.-based Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) and one of the world’s top 10 asset managers with $1.2 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2019, continues to enhance its European footprint following the recent approval, by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, for it to operate an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) from its newly established office in the Netherlands. The office, based in Amsterdam, acts as the AIFM for its existing Irish alternative investment fund and provides investment management, marketing and distribution services in the European Union.

This newly authorized entity follows the announcement in July 2019 that PGIM Investments, the global manufacturer and fund distributor of PGIM, established operations in Switzerland and further enhances PGIM’s European footprint which includes its operations in the U.K., Germany, France, Ireland and Luxembourg.
