NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 25, 2020–PGIM Investments has successfully completed the initial public offering of the PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund raised approximately $475 million of proceeds in connection with the offering of its common shares (approximately $542 million assuming full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, which may not occur) and its shares will begin trading today on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol SDHY. The initial public offering of the Fund’s common shares is scheduled to close on Nov. 30, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

PGIM Investments, LLC, the Investment Manager of the Fund, has agreed to pay from its own assets all organizational expenses of the Fund and all offering costs associated with the offering.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as lead underwriters in connection with the offering.

About the Fund

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade.

The Fund will primarily invest in fixed income investments rated BB or B or deemed equivalent by the Fund’s subadvisor and has a 10% limit on investments rated CCC+ and below.

The Fund generally seeks to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration, including the effects of leverage, of approximately three years or less and a weighted average maturity of approximately five years or less.

Limited Term

The Fund intends to terminate as of the close of business on the ninth anniversary of the effective date of the Fund’s initial registration statement, which will occur on or about Nov. 30, 2029 (the “Dissolution Date”). The Dissolution Date may be extended once for up to six months and the Fund may conduct an eligible tender offer. Upon dissolution or the eligible tender offer, each common shareholder would be eligible to be paid its pro rata portion of the Fund’s net assets.

There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objectives. You could lose some or all of your investment.
