Firm reaches 12th consecutive year of positive net flows

NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 10, 2021 – PGIM Investments ended 2020 with $21.7 billion in net mutual fund flows, No. 2 in the industry, and record mutual fund assets under management (AUM) of $160.4 billion, up 31% from 2019.1 The firm is the fourth fastest growing fund family by organic growth and has reached its 12th consecutive year of positive net mutual fund flows.2

PGIM Investments and its affiliates manufacture and distribute funds on behalf of PGIM, Inc., the $1.5 trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU)—a top-10 investment manager globally.

Strong fund flows and AUM growth were largely driven by demand for PGIM’s actively managed fixed income funds. The firm is the eighth largest fixed income mutual fund family in the U.S.3
