(the S&P 500 Buffer 12 ETFs and S&P 500 Buffer 20 ETFs are collectively referred to as the “S&P 500 Buffer ETFs”)

The investment objective of each S&P 500 Buffer ETF is to provide investors with returns that match the price return of the State Street® SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (“SPY”) up to a predetermined upside cap while providing a downside buffer against the first 12% or 20%, as applicable (before fees and expenses) of SPY’s losses over the one-year Target Outcome Period. Each S&P 500 Buffer ETF seeks to produce a targeted range of potential returns (a “target outcome”) based upon the share price performance (the “price return”) of SPY. The returns sought by each S&P 500 Buffer ETF, which include limited downside protection (a “limited buffer”) against the first 12% or 20%, as applicable, (before fees and expenses) of SPY losses and an upside limit on share price return of SPY (a “cap”) (before fees and expenses), are based on the price return of SPY over an approximate one-year period (the “Target Outcome Period”).

PGIM Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF - October

(collectively, the “Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs”)

    

The investment objective of each Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETF is to provide investors with returns that match the price return of the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (“QQQ”) up to a predetermined upside cap while providing a downside buffer against the first 12% (before fees and expenses) of QQQ losses over the one-year Target Outcome Period. Each Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETF seeks to produce a targeted range of potential returns (a “target outcome”) based upon the share price performance (the “price return”) of QQQ. The returns sought by each Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETF, which include limited downside protection (a “limited buffer”) against the first 12% (before fees and expenses) of QQQ losses and an upside limit on share price return of QQQ (a “cap”) (before fees and expenses), are based on the price return of QQQ over an approximate one-year period (the “Target Outcome Period”).

 

PGIM Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF

   

(“Laddered Nasdaq ETF”)

   
 

The investment objective of the Laddered Nasdaq ETF is to provide investors with capital appreciation. The fund seeks to achieve its investment by providing investors with exposure to the stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 Index while attempting to limit downside risk by investing in a “laddered portfolio” of the four Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETFs.

The investment objective of each S&P 500 Max Buffer ETF is to provide investors with returns that match the price return of SPY up to a predetermined upside cap while seeking to maximize the downside protection against SPY’s losses over the one-year Target Outcome Period. Each S&P 500 Max Buffer ETF seeks to provide downside protection against approximately 100% (before fees and expenses) of SPY losses (the “approximate buffer”). At the same time each S&P 500 Max Buffer ETF allows shareholders the potential to experience gains up to a predetermined upside cap on share price return of SPY (a “cap”) (before fees and expenses), in each case based on the price return of SPY (a “target outcome”) over an approximate one-year period (the “Target Outcome Period”).

Each Fund is a non-diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, except for each Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETF and PGIM Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF, which are diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act.

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 as 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.

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.

 

300


 

Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivative instruments (other than Flexible Exchange Options “FLEX Options”), if applicable, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or Nasdaq official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on a valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. FLEX Options are valued at an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing agent. Such price is model-based with consideration for trade activity provided by the exchange. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.

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.

Options: Certain Funds invest substantially all of their assets in customized equity or index option contracts known as FLexible

EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) on the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (the “Underlying ETF”). FLEX Options trade on an exchange, but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like expiration date, option type (put or call), exercise style, strike price, premium, trading hours and exercise settlement.

For each Target Outcome Period, the Funds invest in a combination of purchased and written (sold) FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF. Because a portion of the value of the Funds is based on FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and not the Underlying ETF directly, variations in the value of the FLEX Options affect the correlation between the Funds’ net asset value (“NAV”) and the price of the Underlying ETF. The Funds utilize European style option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date of the option contract.

The Funds intend to structure the FLEX Options so that any amount owed by the Funds on the written FLEX Options will be covered by payouts at expiration from the purchased FLEX Options. As a result, the FLEX Options written by the Funds will be fully covered and no additional collateral will be necessary at expiration. Each of the FLEX Options purchased and sold throughout the Target Outcome Period will have the same terms, such as strike price and expiration date, as the FLEX Options purchased and sold on the first day of the Target Outcome Period. On the termination date of an Outcome Period, the Fund will invest in a new set of FLEX Options and another Outcome Period will commence.

When the Funds purchase an option, they pay a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Funds write an option, they receive a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Funds realize a gain (loss) to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain (loss). The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid at the closing of a purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain (loss). Gain (loss) on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Gain (loss) on written options is presented separately as net realized gain (loss) on options written transactions.

To the extent that the Funds write, or sell, an option, if the decline or increase in the underlying asset is significantly below or above the exercise price of the written option, the Fund could experience a substantial or unlimited loss. As a result, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the written option. Exchange-traded options contracts present minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

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. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expense amounts.

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 in excess of par, 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.

Under certain circumstances, each Fund may make more than one distribution of short-term and/or 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.

Agreements

Pursuant to management agreements with the RIC on behalf of the Funds (the Management Agreements), PGIM Investments manages each Fund’s investment operations and administers its business affairs. PGIM Investments is also responsible for supervising each Fund’s subadviser.

Pursuant to the Management Agreement relating to each Fund, there is a unitary fee structure for each Fund whereby PGIM Investments is responsible for substantially all expenses of each Fund, excluding payments under the Funds’ 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage fees, costs of holding shareholder meetings, litigation, indemnification and extraordinary expenses. Each Fund may also pay for any costs or expenses of investing in other funds. For more information on the unitary management fee structure please refer to the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.

The unitary fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets with the exception of the Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETFs and Laddered Nasdaq ETF. The Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETFs and Laddered Nasdaq ETF do not pay the Manager a unitary fee. For the reporting period ended April 30, 2026, the unitary fee rates for each of the Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETFs and Laddered Nasdaq ETF were 0.00% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Manager has entered into subadvisory agreements (Subadvisory Agreements) with PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC (“PGIM Quantitative Solutions” or the “subadviser”). The Manager pays for the services of the subadviser.

Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS” or the “Distributor”), acts as the distributor of each Fund, pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) between the RIC and the Distributor. Shares are continuously offered for sale by the Distributor only. Although the Distributor does not receive any fees under the Distribution Agreement, the Manager or its affiliates may pay the Distributor for certain distribution related services.

PGIM Investments, PIMS and PGIM Quantitative Solutions are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the three fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 are subject to such review.

Capital and Ownership

Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund, commonly known as an “ETF”. Individual shares of the Funds may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers or other financial intermediaries. Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. except for Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs and Laddered Nasdaq ETF, which list their shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. (together with Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., the “Exchanges”), and because the shares of the Funds trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares of the Funds may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Each Fund will issue and redeem its shares at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares called a “Creation Unit”. An Authorized

316


Participant is a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC, which has a written agreement with the Funds or one of their service providers that allows the Authorized Participant to place orders for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units.

A creation transaction, which is subject to acceptance by the Distributor and each Fund, generally takes place when an Authorized Participant deposits into each Fund a designated portfolio of securities, assets or other positions (a “creation basket”), and an amount of cash (including any cash representing the value of substituted securities, assets or other positions), if any, which together approximate the holdings of each Fund in exchange for a specified number of Creation Units. Similarly, shares can be redeemed only in Creation Units, generally for a designated portfolio of securities, assets or other propositions (the “redemption basket”) held by each Fund and an amount of cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted). The Funds may, in certain circumstances, offer Creation Units partially or solely for cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable by the Funds. Creation and redemption baskets may differ and the Funds may accept “custom baskets”. A Creation Unit consists of 10,000 shares of each Fund.

Authorized Participants may be required to pay a fixed creation transaction fee and/or a fixed redemption transaction fee, as applicable, for each transaction in a Creation Unit regardless of the number of Creation Units created or redeemed on that day. These fees, if charged, are paid to the Custodian to offset costs associated with processing creation and redemption transactions. Authorized Participants transacting in creation units for cash may pay an additional variable fee to compensate the Funds for transaction costs and market impact expenses relating to purchases or sales of portfolio securities. Such variable fees, if any, are included in “Net proceeds from shares sold” and/or “Cost of shares purchased”, as applicable, in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The RIC is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share.

As of April 30, 2026, Prudential, through its affiliated entities, including affiliated funds (if applicable), owned shares of each Fund as follows:

Risks of Investing in the Funds

S&P 500 Buffer ETFs, Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs and S&P 500 Max Buffer ETFs:

Each S&P 500 Buffer ETF’s, Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETF’s and S&P 500 Max Buffer ETF’s principal risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below. With respect to the S&P 500 Buffer ETFs and the S&P 500 Max Buffer ETFs, the term “Underlying ETF” means SPY. With respect to the Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs, the term “Underlying ETF” means QQQ. For further information on the risks applicable to any given Fund, please refer to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of that Fund.

 

PGIM Rock ETF Trust  319


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk: Only an Authorized Participant (as defined in “How to Buy and Sell Shares” in the Fund’s Prospectus) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants and none of these Authorized Participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant creates or redeems, shares of the Fund may trade at a substantial discount or premium to net asset value (“NAV”), may trade at larger spreads, and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

Buffered Loss Risk: There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide downside protection against Underlying ETF losses. The Fund does not provide principal protection and a shareholder may experience significant losses including losing their entire investment. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that match the price return of the Underlying ETF (up to the cap), while limiting downside losses, if shares are bought on the first day of the Target Outcome Period and held until the end of the Target Outcome Period. If an investor purchases shares after the first day of the Target Outcome Period or sells shares prior to the end of the Target Outcome Period, the buffer that the Fund seeks to provide may not be available. A shareholder may also bear losses against which the buffer is intended to protect. In periods of extreme market volatility, the Fund’s downside protection may be significantly less than the limited buffer. In addition, because the buffer is structured to protect the Fund’s loss of NAV, to the extent an investor sells Fund shares on an exchange and the Fund’s shares are trading at prices that deviate from NAV, a shareholder may not realize the full value of the of the downside protection or benefit from the full value of any appreciation up to the cap.

Cap Change Risk: A new cap is established at the beginning of each Target Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions. As a result, the cap may rise or fall from one Target Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Target Outcome Periods. In addition, the limited buffer of the S&P 500 Max Buffer ETFs may be further reduced in certain Target Outcome Periods, depending on market conditions for the FLEX Options and the establishment of the cap.

Capped Upside Risk: The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns subject to a pre-determined upside cap. The upside cap is the approximate maximum return that an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over an entire Target Outcome Period. If the Underlying ETF experiences gains during a Target Outcome Period, the Fund will not participate in those gains beyond the cap. If an investor does not hold its Fund shares for an entire Target Outcome Period, the returns realized by that investor may not match those the Fund seeks to achieve. As a result of the Fund’s fees and expenses and because the Fund’s returns are subject to a cap, the return of the Fund could represent a return that is worse than the price performance of the Underlying ETF. In periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund’s upside limit may be significantly lower than the cap.

Cash Transactions Risk: Unlike ETFs that engage almost exclusively in creations and redemptions in exchange for a basket of portfolio securities (an “in-kind” transaction), the Fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. Investments in shares of the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.

Counterparty Risk: Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will be unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation, and the related risks of having concentrated exposure to such a counterparty. The Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.

Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund will depend on the subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivatives transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” or may create economic leverage for the Fund and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Fund’s derivatives positions. In fact, many over-the-counter derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Over-the-counter derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund. The use of derivatives also exposes the Fund to operational issues, such as documentation and settlement issues, systems failures, inadequate control and human error.

 

320


Derivatives may also involve legal risks, such as insufficient documentation, the lack of capacity or authority of a counterparty to execute or settle a transaction, and the legality and enforceability of derivatives contracts. The U.S. Government and foreign governments have adopted (and may adopt further) regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements and risk exposure limitations. Regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility to the Fund, or otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

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: The Fund is exposed to the performance of the equity markets through its exposure to options on the Underlying ETF. 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.

ETF Shares Trading Risk: Fund shares are listed for trading on an exchange (the “Exchange”) and the shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of the shares of the Fund are expected to fluctuate in response to changes in the Fund’s NAV, the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings and supply and demand for shares of the Fund. During periods of stressed market conditions, the market for the shares of the Fund may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund portfolio investments.

Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares of the Fund (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in the Fund shares trading on the Exchange significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund holdings.

Cost of Buying or Selling Shares. When you buy or sell shares of the Fund through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by brokers. In addition, the market price of shares of the Fund, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid-ask spread” charged by the market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. The spread of the Fund shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume, the spread of the Fund’s underlying securities, and market liquidity and may increase if the Fund’s trading volume or market liquidity decreases, or if the spread on the Fund’s underlying securities increases.

No Guarantee of Active Trading Market Risk. While shares of the Fund are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that active trading markets for the shares will develop or be maintained by market makers or by Authorized Participants. The distributor of the Fund’s shares does not maintain a secondary market in the shares.

FLEX Options Risk: When the Fund purchases an option, it may lose the premium paid for it if the price of the underlying security, commodity or other asset decreases or remains the same (in the case of a call option) or increases or remains the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call option purchased by the Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Fund. To the extent that the Fund writes or sells an option, if the decline or increase in the underlying asset is significantly below or above the exercise price of the written option, the Fund could experience a substantial or unlimited loss. Options pricing is volatile, and the price may fluctuate based on movements in the value of the underlying asset or for reasons other than changes in the value of the underlying asset. Investments in options are considered speculative.

FLEX Options are subject to the risk that they may be less liquid than other securities, including standardized options. FLEX Options are listed on an exchange; however, there is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium (for written FLEX Options) or acceptance of a discounted price (for purchased FLEX Options) and may take longer to complete. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and Fund shares and result in the Fund being unable to achieve its investment objective.

FLEX Options Trading Risk: Transactions in FLEX Options are required to be centrally cleared. In a transaction involving FLEX Options, the Fund’s counterparty is the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of the OCC and only members (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the OCC, the Fund will hold its FLEX Options through accounts at clearing members. For FLEX Options positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from the OCC through

 

PGIM Rock ETF Trust 321


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

its accounts at clearing members. Although clearing members guarantee their clients’ obligations to the OCC, there is a risk that a clearing member may default. The OCC collects margin, maintains a clearing fund specifically to mitigate a clearing member default and segregates all customer accounts from a clearing member’s proprietary accounts, however customer accounts are held in an omnibus account and are not identified with the name of an individual customer. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with a clearing member as margin for FLEX Options may be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. There is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of a clearing member’s default and the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing member’s customers for the relevant account. Therefore, the Fund could experience and significant loss in the event of a clearing member’s default. Additionally, the OCC may be unable to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts due to unexpected events, which could negatively impact the value of the Fund.

FLEX Options Valuation Risk: The FLEX Options held by a Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As an in-the-money FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Underlying ETF. However, the value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the Underlying ETF. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options generally include interest rate changes, dividends, the actual and implied volatility levels of the Underlying ETF’s share price, and the remaining time until the FLEX Options expire, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by a Fund typically do not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price on a day-to-day basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction), and, as a result, the Fund’s NAV may not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETF’s share price.

Large Capitalization Companies Risk: Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Fund’s value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations.

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.

Leverage Risk: FLEX Options and other derivatives may give rise to leverage. The use of leverage exaggerates the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s holdings, and makes any change in the Fund’s net asset value greater than it would be without the use of leverage. This could result in increased volatility of investment return. The Fund may be required to pledge its assets or post margin in connection with certain borrowings or derivatives transactions that involve leverage. There is a possibility that posting or pledging a large portion of the assets of the Fund could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations or that the Fund may be required to dispose of some of its investment at unfavorable prices or times.

Liquidity Risk: The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are more illiquid than other investments. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the instrument at all. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

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),

 

322


geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks), instability in regions such the Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia, 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: The markets for securities and other financial instruments may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s holdings may decline. Securities and other financial instruments fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities or other assets owned by the Fund or the Underlying ETF fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

New/Small Fund Risk: The Fund recently commenced operations and has a limited operating history. As a new and relatively small fund, the Fund’s performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger and has fully implemented its investment strategies. Investment positions may have a disproportionate impact (negative or positive) on performance in new and smaller funds. New and smaller funds may also require a period of time before they are invested in securities that meet their investment objectives and policies and achieve a representative portfolio composition. Since the Fund is new, an active secondary market for the shares of the Fund may not develop or may not continue once developed. Shareholders holding large blocks of shares of the Fund, including the Manager and its affiliates, may hold their shares for long periods of time, which may lead to reduced trading volumes, wider trading spreads and impede the development or maintenance of an active secondary trading market for Fund shares. These large shareholders may also loan or sell all or a portion of their Fund shares, which may result in increasing concentration of Fund shares in a small number of holders, and the potential for large redemptions, decreases in Fund assets and increased expenses for remaining shareholders.

Non-Diversified Investment Company Risk: The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the 1940 Act. This means that the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or other issuer than a diversified fund. Investing in a non-diversified fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of a non-diversified fund.

Target Outcome Period Risk: The Fund is designed to deliver returns that approximate the Underlying ETF if Fund shares are bought on the first day of a Target Outcome Period and held until the end of the Target Outcome Period, subject to the limited buffer and the cap. If an investor purchases Fund shares after the first day of a Target Outcome Period or sells shares prior to the expiration of the Target Outcome Period, the returns realized by the investor will not match those that the Fund seeks to provide. An investor that holds Fund shares through multiple Target Outcome Periods may fail to experience gains comparable to those of the Underlying ETF due to the annual imposition of a new cap and may be unable to recapture losses from a prior Target Outcome Period as a result of the Fund resetting its cap, and to the extent applicable its buffer, each Target Outcome Period.

Tax Risk: The Fund intends to qualify as a “Regulated Investment Company” under Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); however, the federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund are not clear. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy (including the distribution of options as part of the Fund’s in-kind redemptions), the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Code. As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income and net capital gain that it distributes to shareholders. To qualify and maintain its status as a Regulated Investment Company, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. For purposes of the diversification test, the identification of the issuer (or, in some cases, issuers) of a particular Fund investment can depend on the terms and conditions of that investment. In particular, there is no published Internal

 

PGIM Rock ETF Trust 323


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

Revenue Service guidance or case law on how to determine the “issuer” of certain derivatives that the Fund will enter into. Based upon the language in the legislative history, the Fund intends to treat the issuer of the FLEX Options as the referenced asset, which, assuming the referenced asset qualifies as a RIC, would allow the Fund to count the FLEX Options as automatically diversified investments under the RIC diversification requirements. The Fund intends to treat any income it may derive from the FLEX Options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs. If the income is not qualifying income or the issuer of the FLEX Options is not appropriately the referenced asset, the Fund may not qualify, or may be disqualified, as a RIC. If the Fund did not qualify as a Regulated Investment Company for any taxable year and certain relief provisions were not available, the Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. In such event, in order to re-qualify for taxation as a Regulated Investment Company, a Fund might be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions. This would cause investors to incur higher tax liabilities than they otherwise would have incurred and would have a negative impact on Fund returns. In such event, a Fund may reorganize, close or materially change its investment objective and strategies.

The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the Underlying ETF may affect the character of gains or losses realized by the Fund under the Code’s “straddle” rules and may increase the amount of short-term capital gain realized by the Fund. Short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income when distributed to U.S. shareholders in a non-liquidating distribution. As a result, if the Fund makes a non-liquidating distribution of its short-term capital gain, the amount which U.S. shareholders must treat as ordinary income may be increased substantially as compared to a fund that did not engage in such transactions. Accordingly, shareholders could have a lower after-tax return from investing in the Fund than investing directly in the Underlying ETF (even if the value of the Underlying ETF does not exceed the cap).

The FLEX Options included in the Fund’s portfolio are exchange-traded options. The tax treatment of certain derivatives contracts including listed non-equity options written or purchased by the Fund on U.S. exchanges (such as options on futures contracts, broad-based equity indices and debt securities) may be governed by Section 1256 of the Code (“Section 1256 Contracts”). Section 1256 Contracts are treated as if they were sold (i.e., “marked to market”) at the end of each year. Gain or loss is recognized on this deemed sale. Such treatment could cause the Fund to recognize taxable income without receiving cash. In order to maintain its Regulated Investment Company qualification, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its income annually. If FLEX Options held by the Fund are subject to Section 1256 of the Code, and the Fund is unable to distribute marked-to-market gains to its shareholders, the Fund may lose its Regulated Investment Company qualification and be taxed as a regular corporation. The Fund believes that the FLEX Options typically held in its portfolio will not be subject to Section 1256, and disposition of such options will likely result in short-term capital gains or losses.

In addition, the Fund generally does not expect to recognize taxable gains on the in-kind distribution of appreciated portfolio securities to a redeeming shareholder, which may reduce the amount of taxable gains the Fund would otherwise be required to distribute. However, certain tax aspects of the Fund’s in-kind distributions, including the treatment of certain options, are not clear. If the Fund were required to recognize gain on its in-kind distributions, the effect on the Fund would be similar to the Fund effecting a portion of its redemptions for cash. This generally would cause the Fund to recognize gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise have been required, and would increase the amount required to be distributed by the Fund in order to maintain its qualification as a Regulated Investment Company.

Additionally, buying securities shortly before the record date for a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution is commonly known as “buying a dividend.” If a shareholder purchases Fund shares after the Hedge Period has begun and shortly thereafter a Fund issues a dividend, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

Technology Sector Risk (Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs only): QQQ’s assets may be concentrated in the technology sector and in the securities of technology-related companies in other sectors, which means it will be more affected by the performance of the technology sector than a fund that is less concentrated. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, consumer preferences, excessive investor optimism or pessimism, government regulation or scrutiny, competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in products and services and the availability and price of computer software technology components. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and

intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

Underlying ETF Risk: The value of an investment in the Fund will be related, to a degree, to the investment performance of the Underlying ETF. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Fund are closely related to the principal risks associated with the Underlying ETF and its investments. Exposure to the Underlying ETF will also expose the Fund to a pro rata portion of the Underlying ETF’s fees and expenses. The Fund’s value may not directly correlate to the value of the Underlying ETF due to the Fund’s fees and transaction expenses related to the FLEX Options and that the FLEX Options are only exercisable on the expiration date. The fluctuating value of the FLEX Options will affect the Fund’s value. Because the Fund does not hold shares of the Underlying ETF directly, the Fund will not receive or benefit from any dividend payments made by the Underlying ETF.

Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETFs and Laddered Nasdaq ETF:

Each Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETF’s and the Laddered Nasdaq ETF’s principal risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below. With respect to the Laddered S&P 500 Buffer ETFs, the term “Underlying ETFs” means the S&P 500 Buffer 12 ETFs or the S&P 500 Buffer 20 ETFs, as applicable, and the term “Reference Asset” means SPY. With respect to the Laddered Nasdaq ETF, the term “Underlying ETFs” means the Nasdaq-100 Buffer ETFs and the term “Reference Asset” means QQQ. For further information on the risks applicable to any given Fund, please refer to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of that Fund.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk: Only an Authorized Participant (as defined in “How to Buy and Sell Shares” in the Fund’s Prospectus) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants and none of these Authorized Participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant creates or redeems, shares of the Fund may trade at a substantial discount or premium to net asset value (“NAV”), may trade at larger spreads, and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

Buffered Loss Risk: There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide limited downside protection against the Reference Asset’s losses. The buffer is only provided by the Underlying ETFs and the Fund itself does not provide any stated buffer against losses. The Fund likely will not receive the full benefit of the Underlying ETF buffers and could have limited upside potential. The Fund does not provide principal protection and a shareholder may experience significant losses including losing their entire investment. Each Underlying ETF’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that match the price return of the Reference Asset (up to the cap), while limiting downside losses, if shares are bought on the first day of a Target Outcome Period and held until the end of that Target Outcome Period. To the extent the Fund acquires shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalancing, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of a Target Outcome Period. Likewise, to the extent the Fund disposes of shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with redemptions of shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalancing, any such dispositions typically will not occur on the last day of a Target Outcome Period. In the event that the Fund acquires shares after the first day of a Target Outcome Period or disposes of shares prior to the end of a Target Outcome Period, the buffer that the Underlying ETF seeks to provide may not be available. If the Fund purchases Underlying ETF shares during a Target Outcome Period at a time when the Underlying ETF has decreased in value by 12% or 20%, as applicable, or more from the value of the Underlying ETF on the first day of the Target Outcome Period (the “Initial Underlying ETF Value”), the buffer protection received by the Fund from its investments in the Underlying ETF will essentially be zero (meaning the Fund can lose its entire investment). If the Fund purchases Underlying ETF shares at a time when the Underlying ETF has decreased in value by less than 12% or 20%, as applicable, from the Initial Underlying ETF Value, the Fund’s ability to benefit from the buffer will be reduced by the difference between the Initial Underlying ETF Value and the NAV of the Underlying ETF on the date the Fund purchases the shares.

Cap Change Risk: A new cap for an Underlying ETF is established at the beginning of each Target Outcome Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions. As a result, the cap may rise or fall from one Target Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Target Outcome Periods.

Capped Upside Risk: Each Underlying ETF’s strategy seeks to provide returns that match the price return of the Reference Asset for shares acquired on the first day of a Target Outcome Period and held for the entire Target Outcome Period, subject to a pre-determined upside cap. Because the Fund will acquire shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalance, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of a Target Outcome Period. Likewise, the Fund will dispose of shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with redemptions of shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalance, and such disposals typically will not occur on the last day of a Target Outcome Period. In the event that the Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

acquires Underlying ETF shares after the first day of a Target Outcome Period and the Underlying ETF has risen in value to a level near or at the cap (because the Fund’s potential gain will be limited to the difference between the Underlying ETF’s NAV on the date the Fund purchases Underlying ETF shares and the cap), there may be little or no ability for the Fund to experience an investment gain on those Underlying ETF shares; however, the Fund will remain vulnerable to downside risks. This could be true for all of the Underlying ETFs held by the Fund at a certain point in time severely limiting the Fund’s ability to participate in gains during that time. If the Reference Asset experiences gains during a Target Outcome Period, an Underlying ETF will not participate in those gains beyond the cap. If the Fund buys Underlying ETF shares when the price exceeds the cap, the Fund will not experience any gain in respect of those Underlying ETF shares regardless of the performance of the Reference Asset.

Cash Transactions Risk: Unlike ETFs that engage almost exclusively in creations and redemptions in exchange for a basket of portfolio securities (an “in-kind” transaction), the Fund may effect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Therefore, it may be required to sell portfolio securities and subsequently recognize gains on such sales that the Fund might not have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. Investments in shares of the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities entirely in-kind.

Counterparty Risk: Underlying ETF transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Underlying ETF. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to an Underlying ETF and, in turn, the Fund. An Underlying ETF may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. The Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”) acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of an Underlying ETF to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, an Underlying ETF and, in turn, the Fund could suffer significant losses.

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 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: The Fund is exposed to the performance of the equity markets through investments in the Underlying ETFs which have exposure to FLEX Options on the Reference Asset. 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 Underlying ETFs invest could go down. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.

ETF Shares Trading Risk: Fund shares are listed for trading on an exchange (the “Exchange”) and the shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of the shares of the Fund are expected to fluctuate in response to changes in the Fund’s NAV, the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings and supply and demand for shares of the Fund. During periods of stressed market conditions, the market for the shares of the Fund may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund portfolio investments.

Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares of the Fund (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in the Fund shares trading on the Exchange significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund holdings.

Cost of Buying or Selling Shares. When you buy or sell shares of the Fund through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges imposed by brokers. In addition, the market price of shares of the Fund, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid-ask spread” charged by the market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. The spread of the Fund shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume, the spread of the Fund’s underlying securities, and market liquidity and may increase if the Fund’s trading volume or market liquidity decreases, or if the spread on the Fund’s underlying securities increases.

 

326


No Guarantee of Active Trading Market Risk. While shares of the Fund are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that active trading markets for the shares will develop or be maintained by market makers or by Authorized Participants. The distributor of the Fund’s shares does not maintain a secondary market in the shares.

FLEX Options Risk: The Underlying ETFs invest in FLEX Options. When an Underlying ETF purchases an option, it may lose the premium paid for it if the price of the underlying security, commodity or other asset decreases or remains the same (in the case of a call option) or increases or remains the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call option purchased by the Underlying ETF were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Underlying ETF. To the extent that the Underlying ETF writes or sells an option, if the decline or increase in the underlying asset is significantly below or above the exercise price of the written option, the Underlying ETF and, in turn, the Fund could experience a substantial or unlimited loss. Options pricing is volatile, and the price may fluctuate based on movements in the value of the underlying asset or for reasons other than changes in the value of the underlying asset. Investments in options are considered speculative.

FLEX Options are subject to the risk that they may be less liquid than other securities, including standardized options. FLEX Options are listed on an exchange; however, there is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium (for written FLEX Options) or acceptance of a discounted price (for purchased FLEX Options) and may take longer to complete. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options, Underlying ETF shares and, in turn, Fund shares and result in the Fund being unable to achieve its investment objective.

FLEX Options Trading Risk: Transactions in FLEX Options are required to be centrally cleared. In a transaction involving FLEX Options, an Underlying ETF’s counterparty is the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since no Underlying ETF is a member of the OCC and only members (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the OCC, each Underlying ETF will hold its FLEX Options through accounts at clearing members. For FLEX Options positions, the Underlying ETF will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from the OCC through its accounts at clearing members. Although clearing members guarantee their clients’ obligations to the OCC, there is a risk that a clearing member may default. The OCC collects margin, maintains a clearing fund specifically to mitigate a clearing member default and segregates all customer accounts from a clearing member’s proprietary accounts, however customer accounts are held in an omnibus account and are not identified with the name of an individual customer. As a result, assets deposited by an Underlying ETF with a clearing member as margin for FLEX Options may be used to satisfy losses of other clients of such Underlying ETF’s clearing member. There is a risk that the assets of an Underlying ETF might not be fully protected in the event of a clearing member’s default and an Underlying ETF would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing member’s customers for the relevant account. Therefore, an Underlying ETF could experience and significant loss in the event of a clearing member’s default. Additionally, the OCC may be unable to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts due to unexpected events, which could negatively impact the value of an Underlying ETF.

FLEX Options Valuation Risk: The FLEX Options held by the Underlying ETFs will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. As an in-the-money FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically will increasingly move with the value of the Reference Asset. However, the value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the Reference Asset. The value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options generally include interest rate changes, dividends, the actual and implied volatility levels of the Reference Asset’s share price, and the remaining time until the FLEX Options expire, among others. The value of the FLEX Options held by an Underlying ETF typically do not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Reference Asset’s share price on a day-to-day basis due to these factors (although they generally move in the same direction), and, as a result, the Underlying ETF’s NAV (and, in turn, the Fund’s NAV) may not increase or decrease at the same rate the Reference Asset’s share price.

Large Capitalization Companies Risk: The Reference Asset invests in the securities of large capitalization companies. Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, an Underlying ETF’s and, in turn, the Fund’s value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations.

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.

 

PGIM Rock ETF Trust 327


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

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.

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 the Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia, 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: The markets for securities and other financial instruments may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s holdings may decline. Securities and other financial instruments fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities or other assets owned by the Fund or the Underlying ETF fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

New/Small Fund Risk: The Fund recently commenced operations and has a limited operating history. As a new and relatively small fund, the Fund’s performance may not represent how the Fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger and has fully implemented its investment strategies. Investment positions may have a disproportionate impact (negative or positive) on performance in new and smaller funds. New and smaller funds may also require a period of time before they are invested in securities that meet their investment objectives and policies and achieve a representative portfolio composition. Since the Fund is new, an active secondary market for the shares of the Fund may not develop or may not continue once developed. Shareholders holding large blocks of shares of the Fund, including the Manager and its affiliates, may hold their shares for long periods of time, which may lead to reduced trading volumes, wider trading spreads and impede the development or maintenance of an active secondary trading market for Fund shares. These large shareholders may also loan or sell all or a portion of their Fund shares, which may result in increasing concentration of Fund shares in a small number of holders, and the potential for large redemptions, decreases in Fund assets and increased expenses for remaining shareholders.

Portfolio Turnover Risk: The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading leading to an increased portfolio turnover rate. 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 portfolio turnover rate may be higher than that of other 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.

Target Outcome Period Risk: Each Underlying ETF’s investment strategy is designed to deliver returns that match the price return of the Reference Asset if shares are bought on the day on which the Underlying ETF enters into the FLEX Options (i.e., the first day of a Target Outcome Period) and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Target Outcome Period subject to the cap. Because the Fund will acquire shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalance, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of a Target Outcome Period. Likewise, the Fund will dispose of shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with redemptions of shares of the Fund and during each quarterly rebalance,

 

328


and such disposals typically will not occur on the last day of a Target Outcome Period. In the event the Fund acquires shares of an Underlying ETF after the first day of a Target Outcome Period or disposes of shares prior to the expiration of the Target Outcome Period, the value of the Fund’s investment in Underlying ETF shares may not be buffered against a decline in the value of the Reference Asset and may not participate in a gain in the value of the Reference Asset for the Fund’s investment period.

Tax Risk: The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify and maintain its status as a RIC, the Fund must meet certain income, diversification and distribution tests. The Fund’s qualification as a RIC depends on the qualification of the Underlying ETFs as RICs. If one or more of the Underlying ETFs were to lose its status as a RIC, the Fund might fail its requirement to have a diversified portfolio, and, thus, lose its own RIC status. If the Fund did not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions were not available, the Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. In such event, in order to re-qualify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund might be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions. This would cause investors to incur higher tax liabilities than they otherwise would have incurred and would have a negative impact on Fund returns. In such event, the Fund may reorganize, close or materially change its investment objective and strategies.

Additionally, buying securities shortly before the record date for a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution is commonly known as “buying a dividend.” If a shareholder purchases Fund shares and shortly thereafter the Fund issues a dividend, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

Technology Sector Risk (Laddered Nasdaq ETF only): The Reference Asset’s assets may be concentrated in the technology sector and in the securities of technology-related companies in other sectors, which means it will be more affected by the performance of the technology sector than a fund that is less concentrated. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, consumer preferences, excessive investor optimism or pessimism, government regulation or scrutiny, competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in products and services and the availability and price of computer software technology components. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel.

Underlying ETFs and Reference Asset Risk: The value of an investment in the Fund will be related, to a degree, to the investment performance of the Underlying ETFs, and, in turn, the Reference Asset. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Fund are closely related to the principal risks associated with the Underlying ETFs and its investments. Exposure to the Underlying ETFs will also expose the Fund to a pro rata portion of the Underlying ETFs’ fees and expenses. The fluctuating value of the FLEX Options will affect the Underlying ETFs’ value, and, in turn, the Fund’s value.

The Fund intends to generally rebalance its portfolio to equal weight quarterly, in connection with the reset of the cap of each Underlying ETF. In between such rebalances, market movements in the prices of the Underlying ETFs may result in the Fund having temporary larger exposures to certain Underlying ETFs compared to others. Under such circumstances, the Fund’s returns would be more greatly influenced by the returns of the Underlying ETFs with the larger exposures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments

During the reporting period, the Funds adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Funds did not pay a significant amount of foreign or U.S. federal, state or local income taxes and therefore did not include any additional disclosures in these 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 April 30, 2026.
