Culture & Inclusion at PGIM

Enabling a high-performance culture and inclusive workplace

At PGIM, we focus on fostering a high‑performance culture supported by inclusive behaviors and fair, consistent talent practices. Our approach is designed to enable employees to perform at their best and contribute meaningfully to the success of our business and our clients.

PGIM’s 4 Pillar Culture & Inclusion Strategy

PGIM’s Culture & Inclusion work is organized around four integrated pillars that guide how we embed inclusive practices across our business and engage with clients and the industry.
 
  • Culture: Foster a high‑performance culture grounded in trust, innovation, accountability and inclusive leadership behaviors.
  • Talent: Attract, develop, promote and retain talent at all levels.
  • Client & Industry: Deliver impact aligned to client outcomes and support an inclusive asset management industry.
  • Investing: Leverage our investment expertise to maximise performance and support broader community initiatives.

Supporting Our Talent

Our talent practices are designed to support a productive and inclusive workplace where every employee has the skills, support, and resources to perform at their best. We focus on fair and consistent processes across the employee lifecycle, supported by inclusive behaviors and access to development opportunities that help our people succeed in their roles. When employees feel comfortable being themselves, sharing ideas and contributing diverse perspectives, this strengthens collaboration and supports better outcomes for our clients. We collect demographic data to better understand our workforce and to meet applicable regulatory and reporting requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Ron Andrews Scholarship Program

Founded in 2020, the Ron Andrews Scholarship Program aims to foster inclusion and equity in our internship program and set interns up for successful careers in asset management. Each scholar receives a 529 plan funded at $10,000—to support them as they finish their college journey. 

 

The scholarship program is open to all students who have accepted a PGIM summer internship and have the need for financial assistance and have demonstrated overcoming socioeconomic barriers. Our paid internships and scholarship program are designed to provide equitable access to the career mobilizing power of on-the-job skills and experience and to build a bench of future leaders.

Culture: Enabling a High‑Performance, Inclusive Workplace

At PGIM, we focus on fostering a high‑performance culture grounded in trust, accountability, and inclusive behaviors. Our global culture and inclusion programming supports employee engagement and connection across regions, while remaining responsive to local contexts and regulatory environments. Across the Americas, Asia, and Europe, we create opportunities for employees to engage, share perspectives, and build meaningful connections that strengthen collaboration and belonging. These initiatives are designed to encourage inclusive behaviors, support allyship, and reinforce shared expectations that enable our people to perform at their best. By providing consistent platforms for engagement and dialogue, we support an environment where employees feel comfortable contributing ideas, participating fully, and working together in ways that support our business priorities and client outcomes.

Industry Engagement

The asset management industry operates at the intersection of capital, communities and households. PGIM recognizes that investment decisions can have broad and lasting implications, which is why diversity of thought and sound governance are important considerations in delivering effective investment solutions for our clients. We engage with peers and industry organizations to share insights, contribute to industry dialogue, and support the development of consistent, transparent practices across the asset management sector. This engagement is aligned with our broader Culture & Inclusion approach and our focus on long‑term value creation. Through these engagements, we aim to contribute to industry standards that support fair practices and accountability, while remaining aligned with our fiduciary responsibilities.

Investing: Aligning Capital with Client Objectives

PGIM works with clients who seek to allocate capital in line with their investment objectives, including strategies that consider broader sustainability or responsible investment considerations where appropriate. Across our investment platforms, we leverage our global capabilities, investment expertise, and risk management approach to identify opportunities designed to deliver competitive returns while remaining aligned with our fiduciary responsibilities. Within PGIM Real Estate, our Impact and Responsible Investing platform focuses on real estate opportunities that combine disciplined investment underwriting with defined investment objectives, informed by our long‑standing experience in sustainable and responsible investing. PGIM also supports access to investment opportunities through the PGIM Emerging Manager Portfolio, which represents a long‑term commitment to early‑stage, high‑performing fund managers, including those raising first‑ or second‑time funds. This program is designed to broaden access to capital, support portfolio diversification, and identify differentiated sources of potential return, while maintaining rigorous investment standards.

Engaging Communities

Given our size and scale, we have a responsibility to leverage our reach and advance social justice and equity more broadly. We invest intellectual capital to help reduce the racial wealth gap. We care about and support the global communities in which we operate, combining the aspirations of our employees and clients with meaningful firm wide projects that leave a lasting impact on our world.

Global Partnerships

PGIM partners with industry and outreach organizations to support awareness of careers in asset management and to broaden access to professional development opportunities. These partnerships help connect talent with meaningful career pathways and provide opportunities to build skills and experience across our global organization. Our external partnerships complement PGIM’s broader Culture & Inclusion approach by supporting fair and consistent talent practices and helping to strengthen the long‑term sustainability of our workforce. Through these engagements, we aim to foster a productive and inclusive workplace where employees are enabled to perform at their best and contribute to our collective success
