Objectives and Approach

The investment objective of the PGIM Broad Market U.S. High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") is to achieve a return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation while preserving invested capital. There is no guarantee that this objective will be achieved. The benchmark of the Fund is the Bloomberg U.S. High-Yield – 1% Issuer Cap Index. The Fund will be invested in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of high yield bonds that are originated in the US corporate bond markets. These high yield bonds will largely be a mix of fixed and floating rate instruments that are rated below investment grade. The Fund seeks to add value through active management by identifying and capturing relative value opportunities within the US high yield bond market with an active, risk managed approach using fundamental credit analysis.

        Important Information
        Headline performance can mask the true characteristics of a fund. Without fully understanding how a fund is managed, you may inadvertently become exposed to an undesirable level of risk to your capital. Some funds carry a dilution levy which reduces the number of units realised on any initial investment as an initial charge. If this fund carries such a levy it should be detailed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), which we must provide and you should read before investing.

        The charts and performance data shown are supplied by an external data provider and may contain data that appears to precede the introduction of the clean unit class for this fund. In such cases, historical data has been synthesised at the entire discretion of that external provider as realistically as possible using historical data recorded against the previously available commission-paying version of the fund, adjusting for fees in the process.
