1. | Organization |
Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (the “Registered Investment Company” or “RIC”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The RIC is organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust.
These financial statements relate only to the following series of the RIC: the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund and the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Shares of the Funds are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Funds are classified as diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act.
The Funds have the following investment objectives:
Fund | Investment Objective(s) | |
PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund
|
Current income consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. | |
PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund
|
Current income consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. |
2. | Accounting Policies |
The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Funds consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of ASU 2023-07 exclusively impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or performance. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance. The officers of the Fund, as listed in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, act as each Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and the Funds’ long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of their respective prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds’ subadviser.
The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of each Fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.
Securities Valuation: The Funds hold securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued as of the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. As described in further detail below, the Funds’ investments are valued daily based on a number of factors, including the type of investment and whether market quotations are readily available. The RIC’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures for security valuation and designated PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”, the “Investment Manager” or the “Manager”) as the “Valuation Designee,” as defined by Rule 2a-5(b) under the 1940 Act, to perform the fair value determination relating to all Funds investments. Pursuant to the Board’s oversight, the Valuation Designee has established a Valuation Committee to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Valuation Designee under Rule 2a-5. The valuation procedures permit the Funds to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
For the fiscal reporting period-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
25
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Various inputs determine how the Funds’ investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Funds utilize the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on policies and procedures approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; and any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Valuation Designee regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds entered into repurchase agreements. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is each Fund’s policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements, as the case may be, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transactions, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Master Netting Arrangements: The RIC, on behalf of each Fund, are subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of each Fund. A master netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty permits each Fund to offset amounts payable by each Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by each Fund to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Funds become aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expense amounts.
Mandatory Liquidity Fee: The PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund has implemented a mandatory liquidity fee framework as required by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, whereby institutional prime money market funds must charge a liquidity fee to all shares that are redeemed when total daily net redemptions exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets. The liquidity fee is generally determined by making a good faith estimate of the transaction and market impact costs that would be incurred if a pro rata amount of each security in the portfolio was sold to satisfy the amount of net redemptions. Liquidity fees are not charged if such costs are deemed de minimis (less
26
than one basis point or 0.01% of the value of the shares redeemed). For the reporting period ended ended July 31, 2025, the Fund didn’t charge a liquidity fee.
Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified between total distributable earnings (loss) and paid-in capital, as appropriate. The chart below sets forth the expected frequency of dividend and capital gains distributions to shareholders. Various factors may impact the frequency of dividend distributions to shareholders, including but not limited to adverse market conditions or portfolio holding-specific events.
Expected Distribution Schedule to Shareholders* | Frequency | |
Net Investment Income | Monthly | |
Short-Term Capital Gains | Monthly | |
Long-Term Capital Gains | Annually |
* | Under certain circumstances, each Fund may make more than one distribution of long-term capital gains during a fiscal year. |
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Agreements
The RIC, on behalf of each Fund, has management agreements with the Manager pursuant to which it has responsibility for all investment advisory services, including supervision of the subadviser’s performance of such services, and for rendering administrative services.
Fund | Subadviser(s) | |
PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund | PGIM Fixed Income (“PFI”)(a business unit of PGIM, Inc.); PGIM Limited (an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PGIM, Inc.) | |
PGIM Institutional Money | PFI; PGIM Limited | |
Market Fund |
The PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund reimburse PGIM Investments for its costs and expenses incurred in managing each Fund’s investment operations and administering its business affairs. The costs are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fee paid to the Manager by the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund was accrued daily and payable monthly. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, the effective management fees for the Funds were as follows:
Fund | Management Fee | Effective Management Fee, before any waivers and/or expense reimbursements | ||
PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund | N/A | 0.01%* | ||
PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund | 0.15% of average daily net assets | 0.15% |
* Amounts received by PGIM Investments from each Fund consist of reimbursement for costs and expenses.
The Manager has contractually agreed, through May 31, 2026, to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. This contractual waiver excludes interest, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and certain other Fund expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales.
Fees and/or expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager for the purpose of preventing the expenses from exceeding a certain expense ratio limit may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such waiver and/or reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year. The expense limitations attributable to each Fund are as follows:

4. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as each Fund’s transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Funds may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors/trustees, and/or common officers. For the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, no 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Funds.
5. Portfolio Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the reporting period ended July 31, 2025, were as follows:

Adjustable and Floating Rate Securities Risk: The value of adjustable and floating rate securities may lag behind the value of fixed rate securities when interest rates change. Such securities may be subject to extended settlement periods (longer than seven days) and in unusual market conditions, with a high volume of shareholder redemptions, may present a risk of loss to the Fund or may impair the Fund’s ability satisfy shareholder redemption requests.
Credit Risk: The debt obligations in which the Fund invests are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be unable to repay principal and make interest payments when they are due. There is also the risk that the securities could lose value because of a loss of confidence in the ability of the borrower to pay back debt. All securities purchased by the Fund must present minimal credit risk in the opinion of the subadviser. The Fund is subject to the risk that the subadviser’s credit risk determinations may be incorrect. In addition,
29
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
the credit quality of the securities held by the Fund may change rapidly in certain market conditions, which could result in significant net asset value deterioration.
Cyber Security Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s manager, subadviser, distributor, and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests.
Debt Obligations Risk: Debt obligations are fixed income investments that are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same rate of interest and therefore would earn less income.
Economic and Market Events Risk: Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth or the functioning of the securities markets, or otherwise reduce inflation, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Governmental efforts to curb inflation often have negative effects on the level of economic activity. Relatively reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risk: Equity and equity-related securities may be subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Fund invests could go down. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Floating Net Asset Value Risk: The Fund’s NAV floats. The value of the Fund’s shares is calculated to four decimal places and will vary, reflecting the value of the portfolio of investments held by the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund’s shareholders should not rely on or expect the Fund’s manager to purchase distressed assets from the Fund, enter into capital support agreements with the Fund, or make capital infusions into the Fund.
Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) may involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the United States. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund’s performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines.
In addition, the Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.
Forward Commitments Risk: Forward commitments are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the forward commitment may fail to make payment or delivery in a timely manner or at all. Forward commitments are also subject to the risk that the value of the security to be purchased may decline prior to the settlement date.
Increase in Expenses Risk: Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table of the Fund’s prospectus for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease.
30
Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration debt securities. Similarly, a rise in interest rates may also have a greater negative impact on the value of equity securities whose issuers expect earnings further out in the future. For example, a fixed income security with a duration of three years is expected to decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. This is referred to as “duration risk.” When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” In addition, if the Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment. When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Fund’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.” The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.
Large Shareholder and Large Scale Redemption Risk: Certain individuals, accounts, funds (including funds affiliated with the Manager) or institutions, including the Manager and its affiliates, may from time to time own or control a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. There is no requirement that these entities maintain their investment in the Fund. There is a risk that such large shareholders or that the Fund’s shareholders generally may redeem all or a substantial portion of their investments in the Fund in a short period of time, which could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s NAV, liquidity, and brokerage costs. Large redemptions could also result in tax consequences to shareholders and impact the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. The Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective after one or more large scale redemptions may be impaired and, as a result, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
Management Risk: Actively managed funds are subject to management risk. The subadviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but the subadviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements may be incorrect. Additionally, the investments selected for the Fund may underperform the markets in general, the Fund’s benchmark and other funds with similar investment objectives.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks: Market disruption can be caused by economic, financial or political events and factors, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19 globally).
Recent policy decisions of the U.S. government and governments of foreign countries may increase geopolitical risks that could adversely affect the investment performance of the Fund. These policies have the potential to impact international relations, trade agreements and the overall regulatory environment in ways that could create uncertainty and instability in domestic and global markets. Actions taken by the U.S. government and governments of foreign countries in respect of international trade relations could lead to trade wars, increased costs for imported goods, disruptions in supply chains, reduced foreign investment, and instability in regions where the Fund invests.
The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted, but could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Fund. These and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets and lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets, significant negative impacts on issuers and the markets for certain securities and commodities and/or government intervention. They may also cause short- or long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund could be significantly impacted, which could lead to such securities being valued at zero.
Market Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. The values of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities become more volatile as interest rates rise. In a period of declining interest rates, the Fund may be required to reinvest more frequent prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities in lower-yielding investments.
31
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Municipal Bonds Risk: Municipal bonds are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also fluctuate in response to municipal bond market movements. Municipal bonds are also subject to the risk that potential future legislative changes relating to tax or the rights of municipal bond holders, for example in connection with an insolvency, could affect the market for and value of municipal bonds, which may adversely affect the Fund’s yield or the value of the Fund’s investments in municipal bonds. Certain municipal bonds with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, and not general tax revenues, may have increased risks. Factors affecting the project or facility, such as local business or economic conditions, could have a significant effect on the project’s ability to make payments of principal and interest on these securities. If the Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single region, state or city, there is an increased risk that environmental, economic, political and social conditions in those regions will have a significant impact on the Fund’s investment performance. For example, municipal securities of a particular state are vulnerable to events adversely affecting that state, including economic, political and regulatory occurrences, court decisions, terrorism, public health epidemics, social unrest and catastrophic natural disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes. Many municipal bonds are also subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that when interest rates fall, issuers may redeem a security by repaying it early, which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at a lower interest rate. In addition, income from municipal bonds could be declared taxable because of non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Portfolio Turnover Risk: The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. Under certain market conditions, the Fund’s turnover rate may be higher than that of other mutual funds. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities. These transactions may result in realization of taxable capital gains. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Repurchase Agreements Risk: Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, including losses and possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. To the extent that, in the meantime, the value of the securities that the Fund has purchased has decreased, the Fund could experience a loss.
Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk: Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the other party may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could lose money if it is unable to recover the securities and the value of the collateral held by the Fund, including the value of investments made with cash collateral, is less than the value of the securities. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences to the Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve leverage, which may exaggerate the increase or decrease of the value of the Fund’s assets during the term of the agreement.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the
U.S. Government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. For example, securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. These securities may be supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or only by the credit of the issuing agency, authority, instrumentality or enterprise and, as a result, are subject to greater credit risk than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Further, the U.S. Government and its agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and enterprises do not guarantee the market value of their securities; consequently, the value of such securities will fluctuate. This may be the case especially when there is any controversy or ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. Congress to increase the statutory debt ceiling. Such controversy or uncertainty could, among other things, result in the credit quality rating of the U.S. Government being downgraded and reduced prices of U.S. Treasury securities. If the U.S. Congress is unable to negotiate an adjustment to the statutory debt ceiling, there is also the risk that the U.S. Government may default on payments on certain U.S. Government securities, including those held by the Fund, which could have a negative impact on the Fund. An increase in demand for U.S. Government securities resulting from an increase in demand for government money market funds may lead to lower yields on such securities.
Variable and Floating Rate Bonds Risk: Variable and floating rate bonds are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. In addition, the absence of an active market for these securities could make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of them if the issuer defaults.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions Risk: When-issued and delayed-delivery securities involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security’s price.
32
Yield Risk: The amount of income received by the Fund will go up or down depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates, and when interest rates are very low the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a significant portion of the Fund’s income. If interest rates increase, the Fund’s yield may not increase proportionately. For example, the Fund’s investment manager may discontinue any temporary voluntary fee limitation.
9. | Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments |
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – “Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures”, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments under this ASU are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the impact and does not expect ASU to have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. | Subsequent Event |
Each Fund’s management evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in, or would be required to be recognized in, the financial statements as of July 31, 2025.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund
The Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund1 (the “Fund”) consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established five standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and two Investment Committees. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Trustees.
Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements
As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with PGIM Limited (“PGIML”) and PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”), on behalf of its PGIM Fixed Income unit (“PGIM Fixed Income”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 2 and 11-12, 2025 (the “Board Meeting”) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2026, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant peer universes and peer groups, as is further discussed below.
In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PGIM Investments and the subadvisers, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve an agreement with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PGIM Investments throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the Board Meeting.
The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PGIM Investments, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PGIM Investments and each of PGIML and PGIM, which serve as the Fund’s subadvisers pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PGIM Investments, are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services provided, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple funds, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis.
The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income. The Board noted that PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income are affiliated with PGIM Investments. The Board considered the services provided by PGIM Investments, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers for the Fund, as well as the provision of accounting oversight, fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund, such as PGIM Investments’ role as the administrator for the Fund’s liquidity risk management program and as valuation designee. With respect to PGIM Investments’ oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PGIM Investments’ Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PGIM Investments, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PGIM Investments’ senior

PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
management on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PGIM Investments pays the salaries of all of the officers and interested Trustees of the Fund who are part of Fund management. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, including investment research and security selection, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PGIM Investments’ evaluation of the subadvisers, as well as PGIM Investments’ recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreement.
The Board considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Investments’ senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, and also considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PGIM Investments’, PGIML’s and PGIM Fixed Income’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to each of PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PGIM Investments and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income under the management and subadvisory agreement.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PGIM Investments
The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PGIM Investments the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations of direct and indirect costs, and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that the Fund does not have a traditional management structure, because it is operated at cost. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Fund, which has low expenses, benefits directly from any cost savings experienced by PGIM Investments.
Other Benefits to PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income
The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PGIM Investments, PGIML, PGIM Fixed Income and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PGIM Investments included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PGIM Investments), as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PGIM Investments’ association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income included the ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to its reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.
Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses
The Board considered certain additional factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024. With respect to the fees and expenses of the Fund, because the Fund is operated at cost, the Board did not consider fees and expenses as a meaningful factor in its deliberations.
The mutual funds included in the Fund’s peer universe, which was used to consider performance, and the peer group, which was used to consider expenses and fees, were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. In certain

circumstances, PGIM Investments also provided supplemental peer universe or peer group information, for reasons addressed with the Board. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over various periods, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).
The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance. The table sets forth net performance comparisons (which reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the peer universe, actual management fees with the peer group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the peer group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

Actual Management Fees: 1st Quartile | ||||||||
Net Total Expenses: 1st Quartile |
● | The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Peer Universe median over all periods. |
● | The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements. |

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund
The Fund’s Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Fund”)1 consists of ten individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established five standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and two Investment Committees. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Trustees.
Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements
As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Limited (“PGIML”) and PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) on behalf of its PGIM Fixed Income unit (“PGIM Fixed Income”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 2 and 11-12, 2025 (the “Board Meeting”) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2025, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant peer universes and peer groups, as is further discussed below.
In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PGIM Investments and the subadvisers, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve an agreement with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PGIM Investments throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the Board Meeting.
The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PGIM Investments, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PGIM Investments and each of PGIML and PGIM, which serve as the Fund’s subadvisers pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PGIM Investments, are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple funds, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis.
The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income. The Board noted that PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income are affiliated with PGIM Investments. The Board considered the services provided by PGIM Investments, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers for the Fund, as well as the provision of accounting oversight, fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund, such as PGIM Investments’ role as administrator for the Fund’s liquidity risk management program and as valuation designee. With respect to PGIM Investments’ oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PGIM Investments’ Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PGIM Investments, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PGIM Investments’ senior

management on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PGIM Investments pays the salaries of all of the officers and interested Trustees of the Fund who are part of Fund management. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, including investment research and security selection, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PGIM Investments’ evaluation of the subadvisers, as well as PGIM Investments’ recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreement.
The Board considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Investments’ senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, and also considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PGIML’s, PGIM Investments’ and PGIM Fixed Income’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to each of PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PGIM Investments and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income under the management and subadvisory agreements.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PGIM Investments
The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PGIM Investments the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations of direct and indirect costs, and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning economies of scale that PGIM Investments may realize as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. During the course of time, the Board has considered information regarding the launch date of the Fund, the management fees of the Fund compared to those of similarly managed funds and PGIM Investments’ investment in the Fund over time. The Board noted that, while the Fund does not have breakpoints in its management fees, economies of scale can be shared with the Fund in other ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board also considered PGIM Investments’ assertion that it continually evaluates the management fee schedule of the Fund and the potential to share economies of scale through breakpoints or fee waivers as asset levels increase.
The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PGIM Investments’ costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.
Other Benefits to PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income
The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PGIM Investments, PGIML, PGIM Fixed Income and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PGIM Investments included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PGIM Investments), as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PGIM Investments’ association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income included those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to its reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PGIM Investments, PGIML and PGIM Fixed Income were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses
The Board considered certain additional factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024. The Board considered that the Fund commenced operations on July 19, 2016 and that longer-term performance was not yet available.
The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PGIM Investments to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a peer group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.
The mutual funds included in the peer universe, which was used to consider performance, and the peer group, which was used to consider expenses and fees, were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. In certain circumstances, PGIM Investments also provided supplemental peer universe or peer group information, for reasons addressed with the Board. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over various periods, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).
The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth net performance comparisons (which reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the peer universe, actual management fees with the peer group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the peer group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.
