| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. The Company follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the ASU 2023-07 exclusively impacted consolidated financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Company’s 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 Company act as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has determined that the Company has a operating segment as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Company as a whole and the Company’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its respective prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Company’s sub-advisor. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of the Company, which is consistent with the results presented in the Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights. |
| Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation As provided under ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries, PGIM PCF CA LLC, PGIM Private Credit Fund ABL LLC and PGIM PCF DE Blocker LLC. As of and prior to quarter ended June 30, 2025, amounts presented in the financial statements are unconsolidated as the Company had no active subsidiaries. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These consolidated financial statements reflect normal and recurring adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions included on the consolidated financial statements. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions, which at times may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company’s deposits are held at financial institutions with high credit-quality to minimize credit risk exposure. Cash equivalents consist of other highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents, other than open-end mutual funds, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company may invest in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. |
| Investments | Investments The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a readily available market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See “Note 5. Fair Value Measurements.” The Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to the Valuation Designee. Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Valuation Designee has established a valuation committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Company to utilize independent valuation advisor services. The Valuation Designee will use reliable market quotations to value the Company’s investments when such market quotations are readily available. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available or whose market quotations are not deemed to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Valuation Designee. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Valuation Designee reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security. If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Company typically utilizes independent third party valuation firms to assist in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through a multi-step valuation process as described below. The Valuation Designee engages one or more independent valuation firms based on a review of each firm’s expertise and relevant experience in valuing certain securities. In each case, independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Valuation Designee, subject to oversight by the Board, has approved a multi-step valuation process each month, as described below: • Valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued at cost. For Level 3 investments, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment. • The Valuation Designee discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio based in part on information from an independent valuation firm that is provided on a monthly basis in conjunction with the determination of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share each month. • Valuation conclusions are discussed with and documented by the Valuation Designee, including whether a significant observable change has occurred since the most recent month-end with respect to an investment that requires an adjustment from the most recent monthly valuation. • The Board reviews valuations approved by the Valuation Designee at least quarterly. As part of the Company’s valuation process, the Valuation Designee will take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments without market quotations, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, (v) a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and (vi) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. The determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a readily available market for these non-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, fair value determinations may cause NAV on a given date to materially differ from the value that may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of the investments. The Board reviews the valuations of portfolio investments quarterly and, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy of policies and procedures regarding valuations and the effectiveness of their implementation. |
| Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The books and records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rate as of the valuation date; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although the net assets of the Company are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Company does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Company does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period unrealized and realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Notwithstanding the above, the Company does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates. |
| Foreign Currency Transactions | Foreign Currency Transactions Based on market conditions, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) as a hedge against fluctuations in future foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions in connection with its investments in foreign instruments. The Company is not required to hedge its currency exposure, if any, and may choose not to do so. The Company generally will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or through forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies, including the payment of dividends and the settlement of transactions that otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Company investments. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. |
| Master Netting Arrangements | Master Netting Arrangements The Company is subject to various master agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Company. A master netting arrangement between the Company and the counterparty permits the Company to offset amounts payable by the Company to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Company to cover the Company’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. The Company is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The ISDA Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Company is held in a segregated account by the Company’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Company is segregated by the Company’s custodian and identified in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, if any. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Company and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Company’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Company may occur upon a decline in the Company’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Company’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Company’s future derivative activity. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when the Company assumes the risks for gains and losses related to that investment. Realized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method. Interest Income Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including original issue discount and upfront structuring fees (i.e., origination fees) received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $10,051 and $19,565 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in interest income from non-affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 , the Company recorded $30 and $60 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in interest income from affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $6,619 and $12,753 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in interest income (including both non-affiliated and affiliated investments). Payment-In-Kind (“PIK”) Income The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain PIK provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. Such income is included in interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $39 and $163 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in PIK interest income from non-affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not record PIK interest income from affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $140 and $148 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in PIK interest income (including both non-affiliated and affiliated investments). Dividend Income Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly- traded portfolio companies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $97 and $188 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in dividend income from non-affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not record dividend income from affiliated investments.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $47 and $77 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in dividend income (including both non-affiliated and affiliated investments).
Effective March 18, 2025, the Company changed its overnight cash sweep vehicle from the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments ("Core Fund") to the State Street Institutional Treasury Plus Money Market Fund - Investor Class (SAEXX), an unaffiliated money market fund. Fee Income The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as for consents, waivers and amendments, as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $255 and $641 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in fee income from non-affiliated investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $159 and $265 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in fee income (including both non-affiliated and affiliated investments). Non-Accrual Income Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the Manager determines there is reasonable doubt about the collectability of principal or interest based on current information and events indicating the borrower is unable to meet contractual obligations. Upon non-accrual designation, accrued interest is reversed. Cash receipts on non-accrual loans are applied as a reduction to principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when sustained payment performance demonstrates the borrower’s ability to meet obligations and all principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repaying within a reasonable period of time. For further information regarding the non-accrual status of investments, refer to “Note 4. Investments.” |
| Organizational and Offering Costs | Organizational and Offering Costs The Manager has agreed to pay the Company’s organizational and offering expenses relating to the initial sale of common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Shares”), in the offering. The Company is not obligated to repay any such organizational and offering expenses paid by the Manager. |
| Deferred Debt Issuance Costs | Deferred Debt Issuance Costs Certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt of the Company were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the respective instruments. |
| Reverse Repurchase Agreements | Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Company entered into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third-party broker-dealers in which the Company sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer and agrees to repurchase the same securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The Company receives securities and/or cash as collateral with a market value in-excess of the repurchase price to be paid by the Company upon the maturity of the transaction. During the term of the agreement, the Company continues to receive the principal and interest payments on the securities sold. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Due to the short-term nature of reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest due to the counterparty is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Company to the counterparties are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
| Forward Commitment Transactions | Forward Commitment Transactions
The Company entered into forward commitment transactions which involved a commitment by the Company to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Company will set aside and maintain an amount of liquid assets sufficient to meet the purchase price in a segregated account until the settlement date. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Company assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value (“NAV”). The Company may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction subsequent to establishment, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss). When selling a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Company forfeits its eligibility to realize future gains (losses) with respect to the security. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act effective May 5, 2023. The Company also elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s investors and would not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long- term capital losses and (ii) its net tax-exempt income (if any). In addition, based on the federal excise tax distribution requirements applicable to RICs, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner, for each calendar year, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income or gain realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company and on which the Company paid corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company, at its discretion, may determine to carry forward taxable income or gain and pay the 4% excise tax on the amount by which it falls short of this calendar-year distribution requirement. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to shareholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income and gain as required on an annual basis. The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. The Company had no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. |
| Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses | Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset value of the Company. Expenses that are specific to a class of shares are allocated to such class directly. |
| Distributions | Distributions To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Company earnings, financial condition, maintenance of tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to shareholders. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash will be reinvested into additional Common Shares. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments | Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public business entities to disclose disaggregated expense details in their income statements, including categories such as employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The update aims to enhance transparency by requiring tabular disclosures and qualitative descriptions for unspecified amounts. Additionally, entities must report total selling expenses and their definitions annually. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with interim periods following in 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
