New equity ETFs from Jennison
The three new equity ETFs, subadvised by Jennison Associates, seek long-term growth of capital with concentrated, high-conviction portfolios. Jennison’s long-term equity investment approach is rooted in deep, fundamental research and bottom-up security selection.
The PGIM Jennison International Opportunities ETF (PJIO) invests in non-U.S. companies, with a focus on businesses in the early stages of accelerating growth and attributes such as competitive advantages and attractive valuations. PJIO’s investment strategy is substantially similar to the $4.1 billion PGIM Jennison International Opportunities Fund, which has a history of long-term outperformance.2
The PGIM Jennison Better Future ETF (PJBF) invests in companies that are anticipated to help address social and environmental challenges as identified by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This may include, but is not limited to, companies that contribute to health and wellness, technological advances to improve productivity, connectivity, and financial and economic inclusion, and engagement in climate action.
Lastly, the PGIM Jennison Focused Mid-Cap ETF (PJFM) invests in medium-sized companies diversified across industries and sectors where the investment team sees the potential for durable earnings growth on an intermediate term basis.
A new offering from PGIM Fixed Income

Investing in mutual funds and ETFs involves risks. Some funds have more risk than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost and it is possible to lose money.
The Funds are actively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) and thus do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. ETF shares are not individually redeemable from the Funds. Shares may only be redeemed directly from the Fund by Authorized Participants in Creation Units.
Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, and interest rate risks (including duration risk and prepayment risk), and their value will decline as interest rates rise; call and redemption risk, where the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may lose income; liquidity risk, which exists when particular investments are difficult to sell; and emerging markets risk, which exposes the Fund to greater volatility and price declines.
Investment products are distributed by Prudential Investment Management Services LLC, a member FINRA and SIPC. Jennison Associates is a registered investment advisor.
