Letter from the President

 

LOGO   

Dear Shareholder:

 

We hope you find the annual report for the PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds informative and useful. The report covers performance for the 12-month period that ended July 31, 2026.

 

Financial markets rallied and the global economy remained resilient for much of the period, although renewed inflation concerns emerged in the final months as energy prices climbed amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Employers continued hiring, consumers continued spending, and home prices maintained their upward trajectory.

With inflation cooling, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reduced the federal funds rate three times early in the period—by 25 basis points each in September, October, and December 2025—then held rates steady for the remainder of the period as inflation reaccelerated. Investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence-related stocks continued to drive equity markets to record highs for most of the period, although volatility increased in the final months. For the entire period, equities in both US and international markets posted gains.

Bond markets generally produced positive but more uneven returns, as interest income and price gains during the first half of the period more than offset the impact of rising yields later. US and global investment-grade bonds, along with US high yield corporate bonds and emerging market debt, all posted gains.

Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals. Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering a broad spectrum of asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

At PGIM, we provide access to active investment strategies across the global markets in the pursuit of consistent outperformance for investors. PGIM is one of the world’s largest investment managers with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. Our scale and investment expertise allow us to deliver a diversified suite of actively managed solutions across a broad spectrum of asset classes and investment styles.

Thank you for choosing our family of funds.

Sincerely,

Strategy and Performance Overview* (unaudited)

 

PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.

How did the Fund perform?

The PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.’s shares returned -1.54% based on market price and 6.50% based on net asset value (NAV) in the 12-month reporting period that ended July 31, 2026. For the same period, the Bloomberg Global High Yield 2% Issuer Constrained (USD Hedged) Index (the Index) returned 6.69%.

What were the market conditions?

 

●

Global high yield bonds posted gains over the reporting period, as overall solid corporate earnings and resilient market technicals held firm against a challenging environment marked by whipsawing geopolitical tensions and monetary policy expectations.

 

●

Spreads on the Bloomberg Global High Yield Bond Index tightened 20 basis points (bps) to 287 bps at the end of the period. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) Meanwhile, the credit ratings profile of the U.S. high yield market remained strong by historical standards, and balance sheets for high yield issuers were generally solid. In Europe, fundamentals continued to diverge as companies with stronger balance sheets delivered improved credit metrics, while lower-rated companies with weaker balance sheets struggled.

 

●

Despite heavy outflows during the first quarter of 2026, retail U.S. high yield bond fund flows were positive YTD at $441 million by the end of the reporting period. A similar pattern was seen in European high yield funds, which posted €2.6 billion of inflows through the first seven months of 2026.

 

●

Meanwhile, after totaling $332 billion in 2025, high yield gross issuance totaled $205 billion through the first seven months of 2026, or $89.8 billion excluding refinancing activity. In Europe, high yield gross issuance totaled €97 billion through the first seven months of 2026, while net issuance was €40 billion.

 

●

By quality, all credit tiers posted positive returns over the reporting period, with B-rated credits outperforming their BB-rated and CCC-rated peers. Meanwhile, the par-weighted U.S. high yield default rate, including distressed exchanges, ended the period at 2.77%, which was still below its long-term historical average but up 90 bps from the end of 2025, according to J.P. Morgan.

 

●

In emerging-market high yield corporates, the four months prior to the end of the reporting period saw continued spread compression, inflows, and new issue supply to the sector, marking a reversal of the spread widening that occurred around the onset of the Iran war. PGIM Credit notes that tight spreads do not mean rich spreads. Tight spreads, combined with unresolved risks, call for deliberate positioning, as well as a thorough examination of the current backdrop and potential downstream impacts from the war.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 7


Strategy and Performance Overview* (continued)

 

 

What worked?

 

●

Having more risk in the Fund, on average, over the reporting period than the Index was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance during the period.

 

●

Overall industry allocation contributed to performance during the period, with overweights relative to the Index in foreign non-corporate and other financial, and an underweight to technology contributing the most.

 

●

While overall security selection detracted from performance, selection in telecom, cable & satellite, and foreign non-corporate contributed most to performance.

 

●

In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights relative to the Index in Digicel International Finance Ltd. (telecom), Radiate Holdings LP (cable & satellite), and DISH DBS Corp. (cable & satellite) were among the largest contributors to performance.

 

●

While overall sector allocation detracted from performance, overweights relative to the Index in the emerging-market high yield and euro-denominated high yield sectors contributed to performance.

What didn’t work?

 

●

Overall security selection detracted the most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the reporting period, with selection in paper & packaging, chemicals, and consumer non-cyclicals detracting the most.

 

●

While overall industry allocation contributed to performance, overweights relative to the Index in cable & satellite and chemicals, and an underweight in downstream energy detracted from performance.

 

●

In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights in LABL, Inc. (paper & packaging), Centrient Holding B.V. (health care & pharmaceutical), and CSC Holdings, LLC (cable & satellite), were the largest detractors from performance.

 

●

Overall sector allocation detracted from performance, with overweights relative to the Index in the U.S. high yield corporate and GBP-denominated high yield corporate sectors, and allocations to the U.S. bank loans and European bank loans sectors, detracting from performance.

How did the Fund’s borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance and distributions?

The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to results during the reporting period as the returns of the securities purchased exceeded the cost of borrowing. At the end of the period, the Fund had borrowed $100 million and was about 16.1% leveraged. During the period, the average amount of leverage utilized by the Fund was about 15.7%.

What was the impact of the Fund’s distribution policy?

The Fund’s level distribution policy is utilized to maintain a relatively stable level of distributions to shareholders. This policy has no impact on the Fund’s investment

strategy and may reduce the Fund’s NAV. However, PGIM Investments believes the policy helps maintain the Fund’s competitiveness and may benefit the Fund’s market price and premium/discount to the Fund’s NAV. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the tax character of dividends paid include an ordinary income distribution of $38,409,947 and a tax return of capital distribution of $13,200,265 or 25.6% of the total distribution of $51,610,212 which had no material impact on the NAV during the reporting period.

Did the Fund use derivatives?

During the reporting period, derivatives in the form of forward currency exchange contracts were used to hedge against the Fund’s positions that were not denominated in U.S. dollars. Such derivatives are used in an attempt to mitigate the impact to the Fund from fluctuating currencies outside the U.S. dollar and had a negative impact on performance. The Fund held positions in credit default swaps, total return swaps (TRS), and futures to hedge credit risk and help manage its overall beta. (Beta is a measure of the volatility or risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market or index.) Overall, the use of TRS and futures contributed to performance for the period.

Current outlook

 

●

U.S. high yield bond spreads compressed in the second quarter of 2026 to near post-global financial crisis (GFC) tights, as strong earnings and bullish outlooks offset an uncertain macro outlook. As evidenced by the steady tightening, PGIM Credit believes investors are focused on an economic outcome that more closely resembles PGIM Credit’s overheating economic base case than stagflation/recession conditions as a result of the global energy shock.

 

●

With spreads now back to year-to-date tights, PGIM Credit believes risks are skewed to the downside. However, elevated rate markets and range-bound high yield spreads create an attractive carry environment. While bouts of geopolitical-driven volatility are likely over the near term, PGIM Credit believes the current fiscal and monetary outlooks are supportive for credit fundamentals and economic growth.

 

●

If PGIM Credit’s overheating scenario plays out, expectations are that excess returns will be flat, and U.S. high yield will outperform other sectors on a risk-adjusted basis. Meanwhile, a quick resolution with Iran could cause spreads to compress through post-GFC tights, resulting in further upside.

 

●

Heading into the second half of 2026, the default rate remains well below long-term averages, and overall duration is relatively short. PGIM Credit is maintaining its overweight to short-duration bonds and continues to favor high-quality issues.

 

●

Sector positioning includes overweights to homebuilders, telecom, and finance companies, and underweights to technology (software), media & entertainment, and

retailers & restaurants. Recent adjustments include an overweight to chemicals and a reduction in the Fund’s underweight to technology. PGIM Credit has also increased the Fund’s underweight to media & entertainment.

 

●

PGIM Credit expects the European high yield bond and leveraged loan markets to remain resilient, supported by strong technicals. However, the upside/downside dynamic remains negatively skewed given the tight spread levels and complicated macro and geopolitical backdrop.

 

●

Looking ahead, PGIM Credit remains invested but cautious—running risk slightly above market neutral—and generally defensive in single-name positioning, as well as underweight cyclicals. PGIM Credit continues to focus on relative value opportunities, maintaining a high threshold for high-beta names given the wide range of potential macro outcomes.

 

●

For emerging-market corporates, PGIM Credit’s outlook is largely carry driven, with some bouts of volatility around geopolitical headlines and the trajectory of the global economy. Technicals are supportive amid strong demand for new issues, including crossover investor demand, given the yield pick-up to developed markets. Industries like oil & gas, commodities, and chemicals generally reported good earnings results. PGIM Credit expects overall defaults to remain contained in the 3% range for emerging-market high yield, in line with developed markets, considering very manageable refinancing needs and resiliency in the underlying emerging-market economies. PGIM Credit favors sectors like Latin American financials and oil & gas, plus Asian metals & mining and infrastructure plays across energy and transportation. PGIM Credit has become more cautious on UAE high yield property and corporates in frontier countries. The risks to the carry thesis are that an extended Iran conflict impacts global growth and high yield spreads decompress.

*This strategy and performance overview, which discusses what strategies or holdings (including derivatives, if applicable) affected the Fund’s performance, is compiled based on how the Fund performed relative to the Index and is viewed for performance attribution purposes at the aggregate Fund level, which in most instances will not directly correlate to the amounts disclosed in the Statement of Operations which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

●

Despite heavy outflows during the first quarter of 2026, retail U.S. high yield bond fund flows were positive YTD at $441 million by the end of the reporting period.

Did the Fund use derivatives?

During the reporting period, the Fund held positions in a credit default swap index, total return swaps, interest rate futures, and foreign exchange forwards in an effort to hedge credit risk and manage its overall beta. (Beta is a measure of the volatility or risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market or index.) In aggregate, these positions contributed to performance over the period.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Fund with a similar investment in the Bloomberg US High Yield Ba/B 1-5 Year 1% Capped Index by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations (November 25, 2020) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (July 31, 2026), as measured on a quarterly basis. The Fund assumes an initial investment on November 25, 2020, while the benchmark and the Index assume that the initial investment occurred on November 30, 2020. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted and (b) all dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Past performance does not predict future performance. Total returns and the ending account values in the graph include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

Strategy and Performance Overview* (unaudited)

 

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund

How did the Fund perform?

The PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund’s shares returned 4.60% based on market price and 3.78% based on net asset value (NAV) in the 12-month reporting period that ended July 31, 2026. For the same period, the Bloomberg US High Yield Ba/B 1–5 Year 1% Capped Index (the Index) returned 5.52%.

What were the market conditions?

 

●

U.S. high yield bonds posted gains over the reporting period, as overall solid corporate earnings and resilient market technicals held firm against a challenging environment marked by whipsawing geopolitical tensions and U.S. Federal Reserve policy expectations.

 

●

Spreads on the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index were unchanged at 279 basis points (bps) at the end of the period. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) Meanwhile, corporate balance sheets remained generally solid, and the U.S. high yield market remained at historically high levels in terms of credit quality.

 

●

Despite heavy outflows during the first quarter of 2026, retail U.S. high yield bond fund flows were positive YTD at $441 million by the end of the reporting period. After totaling $332 billion in 2025, high yield gross issuance totaled $205 billion through the first seven months of 2026, or $89.8 billion excluding refinancing activity.

 

●

By quality, all credit tiers posted positive returns over the reporting period, with B-rated credits outperforming their BB-rated and CCC-rated peers. Meanwhile, the par-weighted U.S. high yield default rate, including distressed exchanges, ended the period at 2.77%, which was still below its long-term historical average but up 90 bps from the end of 2025, according to J.P. Morgan.

What worked?

 

●

Having more risk in the Fund, on average, over the reporting period than the Index contributed the most to the Fund’s performance during the period.

 

●

Overall security selection contributed to performance, with selection in telecom, cable & satellite, and health care & pharmaceutical contributing the most.

 

●

In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights relative to the Index in Digicel International Finance Ltd. (telecom), Radiate Holdco, LLC (cable & satellite), and DISH DBS Corp. (cable & satellite) contributed to returns.

 

●

While overall industry allocation detracted from performance, underweights to technology and consumer non-cyclical, and an overweight to capital goods contributed to performance.

 

22 Visit our website at pgim.com/closed-end-fund-documents


●

While overall sector allocation detracted from performance, allocations to the emerging-markets high yield corporate and AAA collateralized loan obligation sectors contributed to performance.

What didn’t work?

 

●

Overall sector allocation detracted the most from performance relative to the Index during the reporting period, with an overweight to the U.S. high yield corporate sector and an allocation to the U.S. bank loans sector detracting the most.

 

●

Overall industry allocation detracted from performance, with underweights in automotive and upstream energy, and an overweight to cable & satellite, detracting from performance.

 

●

While overall security selection contributed to performance, selection in paper & packaging, automotive, and property & casualty detracted from performance.

 

●

In individual security selection, overweights in First Brands Group, LLC (automotive), LABL, Inc. (paper & packaging), and CSC Holdings, LLC (cable & satellite) detracted from performance.

How did the Fund’s borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance?

The Fund did not use leverage during the reporting period.

What was the impact of the Fund’s distribution policy?

The Fund’s distribution policy is utilized to maintain a relatively stable level of distributions to shareholders. This policy has no impact on the Fund’s investment strategy and may reduce the Fund’s NAV. However, PGIM Investments believes the policy helps maintain the Fund’s competitiveness and may benefit the Fund’s market price and premium/discount to the Fund’s NAV. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, the tax character of dividends paid include an ordinary income distribution of $26,794,678 and a tax return of capital distribution of $5,181,603 or 16.2% of the total distribution of $31,976,281 which had no material impact on the NAV during the reporting period.

Did the Fund use derivatives?

During the reporting period, the Fund held positions in a credit default swap index, total return swaps, and interest rate futures in an effort to hedge credit risk and manage its overall beta. (Beta is a measure of the volatility or risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market or index.) In aggregate, these positions contributed to performance during the period.

Current outlook

 

●

U.S. high yield bond spreads compressed in the second quarter of 2026 to near post-global financial crisis (GFC) tights, as strong earnings and bullish outlooks offset

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 23


Strategy and Performance Overview* (continued)

 

  an uncertain macro outlook. As evidenced by the steady tightening, PGIM Credit believes investors are focused on an economic outcome that more closely resembles PGIM Credit’s overheating economic base case than stagflation/recession conditions as a result of the global energy shock.

 

●

With spreads now back to year-to-date tights, PGIM Credit believes risks are skewed to the downside. However, elevated rate markets and range-bound high yield spreads create an attractive carry environment. While bouts of geopolitical-driven volatility are likely over the near term, PGIM Credit believes the current fiscal and monetary outlooks are supportive for credit fundamentals and economic growth.

 

●

If PGIM Credit’s overheating scenario plays out, expectations are that excess returns will be flat, and U.S. high yield will outperform other sectors on a risk-adjusted basis. Meanwhile, a quick resolution with Iran could cause spreads to compress through post-GFC tights, resulting in further upside.

 

●

Heading into the second half of 2026, the default rate remains well below long-term averages, and overall duration is relatively short. PGIM Credit is maintaining its overweight to short-duration bonds and continues to favor high-quality issues.

 

●

Sector positioning includes overweights to homebuilders, telecom, and finance companies, and underweights to technology (software), media & entertainment, and retailers & restaurants. Recent adjustments include an overweight to chemicals and a reduction in the Fund’s underweight to technology. PGIM Credit has also increased the Fund’s underweight to media & entertainment.

The Fund entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(2)

If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund.

Level 3 securities as presented in the table above are being fair valued using pricing methodologies approved by the Board, which contain unobservable inputs as follows:

The Fund entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced

index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund.

Level 3 securities as presented in the table above are being fair valued using pricing methodologies approved by the Board, which contain unobservable inputs as follows:

(1)

If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund.

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 Funds, as listed in the Funds’ 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.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 197


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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, Statement of Cash Flows 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. Global High Yield and High Yield Bond Board of Directors and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Board of Trustees (collectively, the “Board Members”) have adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”, the “Investment Manager” or the “Manager”) Pursuant to the Board Member’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. 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 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 year-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell Fund shares.

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.

Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivative instruments, 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

 

198


the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time each Fund is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.

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.

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Funds utilize the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.

Floating rate and other loans are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors utilize broker/dealer quotations and provide prices based on the average of such quotations. Floating rate and other loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Floating rate and other loans valued based on a single broker quote or at the original transaction price in excess of five business days are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Private debt/loans are generally valued at prices obtained by independent valuation providers. Such valuation providers typically utilize the income approach as the primary methodology, but may use other fair value approaches based on facts and circumstances. Valuations received from the independent valuation providers are reviewed by the Valuation

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 199


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Designee to ensure the valuations are in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures as well as all relevant valuation and accounting standards. Private debt/loans are generally classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

OTC and centrally cleared derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Funds utilize the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also include consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on policies and procedures approved by the Board Members. 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.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds 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;

(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 Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do 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 Funds do 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 Statements of Operations. Notwithstanding the above, the Funds do 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 Funds’ 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.

Forward and Cross Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain Funds enter into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposure to certain currencies. 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 and cross currency 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 and cross currency contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 201


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds’ 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. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency. The cash amounts pledged for forward currency contracts are considered restricted cash and are included in “Cash segregated for counterparty - OTC” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Options: Certain Funds purchased and/or wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Funds may also use options to gain additional market exposure. The Funds’ principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives 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 Fund realizes 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 Fund has 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.

The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.

When the Fund writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest

 

202


rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Fund will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.

Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit collateral with a futures commission merchant an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Funds each day, equal to the change in the mark-to-market value of the futures contract. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.

Certain Funds invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge their existing portfolio securities, or securities the Funds intend to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Swap Agreements: Certain Funds entered into certain types of swap agreements detailed in the disclosures below. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed either directly with a counterparty (“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. For OTC-traded, upfront premiums paid and received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments. The cash amounts pledged for swaps contracts are considered restricted cash and are included in “Due from broker-variation margin swaps” and “Deposit with broker for centrally cleared/exchange-traded derivatives” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 203

Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”): CDS involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (collectively, a “credit event”) for the referenced entity (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country) on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.

Certain Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives, and as such, have entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be “short the credit” because the higher the contract value rises, the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased CDS is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value due to a credit event.

As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund generally receives an agreed upon payment from the buyer of protection throughout the term of the swap, provided no credit event occurs. As the seller, the Fund effectively increases its investment risk because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund, as a seller of protection, could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. This potential amount will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements which the Fund entered into for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. These spreads serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of default risk for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads and increased market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap,

 

204


represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Total Return Swaps: In a total return swap, one party receives payments based on the market value of the security or the commodity involved, or total return of a specific referenced asset, such as an equity, index or bond, and in return pays a defined amount. Certain Funds are subject to risk exposures associated with the referenced asset in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain Funds entered into total return swaps to manage their exposure to a security or an index. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the change in the value of the security, in the Funds’ favor, from the point of entering into the contract.

Floating Rate and Other Loans: Certain Funds invested in floating rate and other loans. Floating rate and other loans include loans that are privately negotiated between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions, including, but not limited to, term loans, revolvers, and other instruments issued in the floating rate and other loans market. The Funds acquire interests in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) and/or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a floating rate and other loans assignment, the Funds generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and become a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a floating rate and other loans participation, the Funds generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Funds generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which they are entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Funds may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which they have purchased the participation. As a result, the Funds will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Funds.

Master Netting Arrangements: The Funds are subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of each Fund. A master netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty permits each Fund to offset amounts payable by each Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by each Fund to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law.

Each Fund is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The 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 Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments. 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 Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund’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 Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Fund’s future derivative activity.

In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such OTC derivative agreements include conditions which, when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.

Short sales and OTC contracts, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, forward rate agreements and written options involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.

 

206


Warrants: Certain Funds held warrants acquired either through a direct purchase or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board Members approved fair valuation procedures.

Payment-In-Kind: Certain Funds invested in the open market or received pursuant to debt restructuring securities that pay-in-kind (“PIK”) the interest due on such debt instruments. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified, is added to the existing principal balance of the debt when issued bonds have the same terms as the bond or recorded as a separate bond when terms are different from the existing debt, and is recorded as interest income.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Funds become aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expense amounts.

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 (for purposes of this report the shareholders of SDHY and the stockholders of ISD and GHY are referred to as “shareholders”). Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. However, due to the timing of when distributions are made by the Fund, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax of 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Fund’s annual taxable income for the calendar year and 98.2% of its net capital gains for a one-year period ending on October 31 exceed the distributions from such taxable income and net capital gains for the calendar year. 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: The Funds intend to make a level dividend distribution each month to the holders of common stock of ISD and GHY, and to the holders of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) of SDHY (sometimes collectively referred to herein as “shares”). The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board Members from time to time, and will be based upon the past and projected performance and expenses of the Funds. The Funds intend to also make a distribution during or with respect to each calendar year (which may be combined with a regular monthly distribution), which will generally include any net investment income and net realized capital gain for the year not otherwise distributed.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

PGIM Investments has received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granting the Funds an exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder to permit certain closed-end funds managed by PGIM Investments to include realized long-term capital gains as a part of their respective regular distributions to the holders of common stock/common shares more frequently than would otherwise be permitted by the 1940 Act (generally once per taxable year). The Board Members may, at the request of PGIM Investments, adopt a managed distribution policy.

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 amongst total distributable earnings (loss) and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3.

Agreements

Each Fund has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to these agreements, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services, supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services and renders administrative services. With respect to ISD and GHY, PGIM Investments has entered into subadvisory agreements with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Funds through PGIM Credit (an investment group of PGIM, Inc.). In 2025, PGIM Fixed Income and PGIM Private Credit (formerly known as PGIM Private Capital) were combined to form PGIM Credit, and PGIM, Inc. has entered into a sub-subadvisory agreement with PGIM Limited. With respect to SDHY, PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Fund through PGIM Credit and PGIM Limited (collectively the “subadviser”).

The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, using the average daily value of the Fund’s investable assets at the respective annual rates specified below. “Investable assets” refers to the net assets attributable to the outstanding common stock of the Fund plus the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock issued by the Fund, the principal amount of any borrowings and the principal on any debt securities issued by the Fund.

The Manager has contractually agreed that to the extent the Fund invests in an ETF advised by PGIM Investments (“PGIM ETF”), the Manager will waive any management fees it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the unitary management fee received by PGIM Investments from the PGIM ETF attributable to the Fund’s investment in such PGIM ETF. This waiver will be effective at any time the Fund is invested in the PGIM ETF and will remain in effect for so long as the Fund is invested in the PGIM ETF, unless earlier terminated by agreement of the Board of the Fund.

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

Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Funds may invest their overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Government Money Market Fund (the “Core Government Fund”), a series of the Prudential Government Money Market Fund, Inc., registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services to the Core Government Fund. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Government Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

The Funds may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board Members approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act that, subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors/trustees, and/or common officers. For the year ended July 31, 2026, no Rule 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

The difference between GAAP basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, differences in the treatment of premium amortization for GAAP and tax purposes, investment in partnership and mark-to-market receivables and payables.

For federal income tax purposes, the following Funds had an approximated capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2026 which can be carried forward for an unlimited period. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses.

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 four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2026 are subject to such review.

Borrowings and Re-hypothecation

Each Fund has entered into a committed credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Global High Yield has entered into a credit facility agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc.; High Yield Bond and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities have entered into credit facility agreements with The Bank of Nova Scotia (collectively, the “Financial Institutions”) pursuant to which Global High Yield, High Yield Bond and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities may borrow up to a maximum commitment amount of $300 million, $210 million and $200 million, respectively. The Funds will pay interest in the amount of 0.85% plus the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on the amount outstanding. Such interest expenses, as well as fees for the Credit Facility (including commitment fees for any portion of the Credit Facility not drawn upon at any time during the period), are disclosed in the Statement of Operations under Interest expense and/or Other borrowing fees and expenses. The Funds’ obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Funds segregated for the purpose of securing the amount borrowed and are indicated in the Schedule of Investments. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to provide the Funds with portfolio leverage and to meet its general cash flow requirements. If the Funds fails to meet certain requirements or maintain other financial covenants required under the Credit Facility, the Funds may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding.

The Fund indicated below utilized the credit facility during the year ended July 31, 2026. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Fund utilized the credit facility.

Re-hypothecation: The credit facility permits, subject to certain conditions, the Financial Institutions to re-hypothecate, a portion of the portfolio securities segregated by the Funds as collateral. The Funds continue to receive interest on re-hypothecated securities. The Funds also have the right under the agreement to recall the re-hypothecated securities from the Financial Institutions on demand. If the Financial Institutions fail to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Funds will be compensated by the Financial Institutions for

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 213


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by the Financial Institutions, the Funds, upon notice to the Financial Institutions, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the value of the recalled security failed to be returned plus accrued interest. The Funds will receive a portion of the fees earned by the Financial Institutions in connection with the re-hypothecation of portfolio securities which reduces the interest expense on borrowings. For the year ended July 31, 2026, there were no re-hypothecated securities.

Risks of Investing in the Funds

The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Funds. Each Fund’s principal risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below.

“Covenant-Lite” Risk: Some of the loans or debt obligations in which the Fund may invest or get exposure to may be “covenant-lite”, which means the loans or obligations contain fewer financial maintenance covenants than other loans or obligations (in some cases, none) and do not include terms which allow the lender to monitor the borrower’s performance and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Fund in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. The Fund may also experience difficulty, expenses or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant-lite loans or obligations. As a result of these risks, the Fund’s exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Fund’s net income and NAV.

Credit Risk: This is the risk that the issuer, the guarantor, or the insurer of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a contract may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and interest payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. Additionally, fixed income securities could lose value due to a loss of confidence in the ability of the issuer, guarantor, insurer, or counterparty to pay back debt. The lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.

Cyber Security Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s manager, subadviser, distributor, and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which

 

214


the Fund invests. In addition, the rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence, could exacerbate these risks or result in cyber security incidents that implicate personal data.

Debt Obligations Risk: Debt obligations are fixed income investments that are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same rate of interest and therefore would earn less income.

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, will depend on the 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.

Appropriate derivatives may not be available in all circumstances for risk management or other purposes for which the Fund seeks to use them. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid 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.

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 can 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

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 215


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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.

Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by non-U.S. investors, or that prevent non-U.S. investors from withdrawing their money at will.

The Fund may invest in some emerging markets that subject it to risks such as those associated with illiquidity, custody of assets, different settlement and clearance procedures and asserting legal title under a developing legal and regulatory regime to a greater degree than in developed markets or even in other emerging markets.

Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) may involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the United States. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund’s performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines.

In addition, the Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.

Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration debt

 

216


securities. For example, a fixed income security with a duration of three years is expected to decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. This is referred to as “duration risk.” When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” In addition, if the Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment. When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Fund’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.” The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.

Junk Bonds Risk: High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to have lower market liquidity than higher-rated securities. The liquidity of particular issuers or industries within a particular investment category may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning. The non-investment grade bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings and become illiquid due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large sustained sales by major investors, a high profile default or a change in the market’s psychology.

Leverage Risk: The Fund may seek to enhance the level of its current distributions to holders of common shares through the use of leverage. The Fund may use leverage through borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions. The Fund may borrow in amounts up to 33 1/3% (as determined immediately after borrowing) of the Fund’s investable assets. The use of leverage can create special risks. There can be no assurance that any leveraging strategy the Fund employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

Limited Term and Tender Offer Risk (applicable to SDHY only): In accordance with the Fund’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Fund intends to terminate as of the close of business on the ninth anniversary of the effective date of the Fund’s initial registration statement, which the Fund currently expects to occur on or about November 30, 2029 (the “Dissolution Date”); provided that the Board may, by a vote of a majority of the Board and seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the Board who either (i) have been a member of the Board for a period of at least thirty-six months (or since the commencement of the Fund’s operations, if less than thirty-six months) or (ii) were nominated to serve as a member of the Board by a majority of the Continuing Trustees (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) then members of the Board (the “75% Requirement”) (a “Board Action Vote”), without shareholder approval, extend the Dissolution Date once for up to six months, which date shall then become the Dissolution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine, by a Board Action Vote, to cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer, as of a date within twelve months preceding the Dissolution Date (as may be extended as described above), to all common shareholders to purchase 100% of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Fund at a price equal to the NAV per Common Share on

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

the expiration date of the tender offer (an “Eligible Tender Offer”). The Board has established that the Fund must have at least $200 million of net assets immediately following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer to ensure the continued viability of the Fund (the “Dissolution Threshold”). In an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund will offer to purchase all Common Shares held by each common shareholder; provided that if the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer, and the Fund will terminate as scheduled. If an Eligible Tender Offer is conducted and the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, all Common Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn will be purchased by the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Tender Offer. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval and cause the Fund to have a perpetual existence. Unless the limited term provision of the Declaration of Trust is amended by the Board and the shareholders in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, or unless the Fund completes an Eligible Tender Offer and converts to perpetual existence, the Fund will terminate on or about the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extension). The Fund is not a so-called “target date” or “life cycle” fund whose asset allocation becomes more conservative over time as its target date, often associated with retirement, approaches. In addition, the Fund is not a “target term” fund as its investment objective is not to return its original NAV on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer. The Fund’s investment objective and policies are not designed to seek to return to investors that purchase shares in this offering their initial investment on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer, and such investors and investors that purchase shares after the completion of this offering may receive more or less than their original investment upon dissolution or in an Eligible Tender Offer. Because the assets of the Fund will be liquidated in connection with the dissolution, the Fund will incur transaction costs in connection with dispositions of portfolio securities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to the Dissolution Date and may be required to sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not, including at times when market conditions are not favorable, which may cause the Fund to lose money. In particular, the Fund’s portfolio may still have large exposures to illiquid securities as the Dissolution Date approaches, and losses due to portfolio liquidation may be significant. The Fund generally considers “illiquid securities” to be securities that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value used by the Fund in determining its NAV. During the Wind-Down Period, the Fund may begin liquidating all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and the Fund may deviate from its investment strategy and may not achieve its investment objective. As a result, during the Wind-Down Period, the Fund’s distributions may decrease, and such distributions may include a return of capital. It is expected that common shareholders will receive cash in any liquidating distribution from the Fund, regardless of their participation in the Fund’s

 

218


automatic dividend reinvestment plan. However, if on the Dissolution Date the Fund owns securities for which no market exists or securities that are trading at depressed prices, such securities may be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund cannot predict the amount, if any, of securities that will be required to be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund may receive proceeds from the disposition of portfolio investments that are less than the valuations of such investments by the Fund and, in particular, losses from the disposition of illiquid securities may be significant. The disposition of portfolio investments by the Fund could also cause market prices of such instruments, and hence the NAV and market price of the Common Shares, to decline. In addition, disposition of portfolio investments will cause the Fund to incur increased brokerage and related transaction expenses. Moreover, in conducting such portfolio transactions, the Fund may need to deviate from its investment policies and may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s portfolio composition may change as its portfolio holdings mature or are called or sold in anticipation of an Eligible Tender Offer or the Dissolution Date. During such period(s), it is possible that the Fund will hold a greater percentage of its total assets in shorter term and lower yielding securities and cash and cash equivalents than it would otherwise, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund’s performance and distributions to common shareholders, which may in turn adversely impact the market value of the Common Shares. In addition, the Fund may be required to reduce its leverage, which could also adversely impact its performance. The additional cash or cash equivalents held by the Fund could be obtained through reducing the Fund’s distributions to common shareholders and/or holding cash in lieu of reinvesting, which could limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to or around the Dissolution Date, which may exacerbate the foregoing risks and considerations. A common shareholder may be subject to the foregoing risks over an extended period of time, particularly if the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer and is also subsequently terminated by or around the Dissolution Date. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund anticipates that funds to pay the aggregate purchase price of shares accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer will be first derived from any cash on hand and then from the proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments held by the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be required to dispose of portfolio investments in connection with any reduction in the Fund’s outstanding leverage necessary in order to maintain the Fund’s desired leverage ratios following a tender offer. The risks related to the disposition of securities in connection with the Fund’s dissolution also would be present in connection with the disposition of securities in connection with an Eligible Tender Offer. It is likely that during the pendency of a tender offer, and possibly for a time thereafter, the Fund will hold a greater than normal percentage of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and decrease returns to shareholders. The tax effect of any such dispositions of portfolio investments will depend on the difference between the price at which the investments are sold and the tax basis of the Fund in the investments. Any capital gains recognized on such dispositions, as reduced by any capital losses the Fund realizes in the year of such dispositions and by any available capital loss carryforwards, will be distributed to shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net short-term capital gains

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 219


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

over net long-term capital losses) during or with respect to such year, and such distributions will generally be taxable to common shareholders. Therefore, the Fund’s early disposition of portfolio investments could accelerate the timing of the Fund’s recognition of taxable income and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to common shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. The purchase of Common Shares by the Fund pursuant to a tender offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of non-tendering common shareholders. All common shareholders remaining after a tender offer may be subject to proportionately higher expenses due to the reduction in the Fund’s total assets resulting from payment for the tendered Common Shares. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may result in less investment flexibility, reduced diversification and greater volatility for the Fund, and may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s investment performance. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may also cause Common Shares to become thinly traded or otherwise negatively impact secondary trading of Common Shares. A reduction in net assets, and the corresponding increase in the Fund’s expense ratio, could result in lower returns and put the Fund at a disadvantage relative to its peers and potentially cause the Common Shares to trade at a wider discount to NAV than it otherwise would. Furthermore, the portfolio of the Fund following an Eligible Tender Offer could be significantly different and, therefore, common shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund could be subject to greater risk. For example, the Fund may be required to sell its more liquid, higher quality portfolio investments to purchase Common Shares that are tendered in an Eligible Tender Offer, which would leave a less liquid, lower quality portfolio for remaining shareholders. The prospects of an Eligible Tender Offer may attract arbitrageurs who would purchase the Common Shares prior to the tender offer for the sole purpose of tendering those shares which could have the effect of exacerbating the risks described herein for shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund following an Eligible Tender Offer. The Fund is not required to conduct an Eligible Tender Offer. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, there can be no assurance that the number of tendered Common Shares would not result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, in which case the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer and the Fund will dissolve on the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extensions of no more than six months in total). Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer in which the number of tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval. Thereafter, the Fund will have a perpetual term. The Manager may have a conflict of interest in recommending to the Board that the Dissolution Date be eliminated because the Manager would continue to receive management fees on the remaining assets of the Fund while it remains in existence. The Fund is not required to conduct additional tender offers following an Eligible Tender Offer and conversion to perpetual existence. Therefore, remaining common shareholders may not have another opportunity to participate in a tender offer.

 

220


Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments for any reason, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Fund may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade order of a given size. 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 the U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran, 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 risk of such events has meaningfully increased in recent periods due to heightened international tensions stemming from rivalry among the world’s dominant economic and military powers.

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

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 221


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

and lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets, significant negative impacts on issuers and the markets for certain securities and commodities and/or government intervention. They may also cause short- or long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund could be significantly impacted, which could lead to such securities being valued at zero.

Market Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

Risks of Investments in Bank Loans: The Fund’s ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans (whether through participations, assignments or otherwise) will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the Fund’s scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan because of a default, bankruptcy or any other reason would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Even with loans secured by collateral, there is the risk that the value of the collateral may decline, may be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. Further, the Fund’s access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy laws.

Risk of Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value: Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments

In September 2026, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2026-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Investment Companies with Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The ASU requires investment companies to incorporate contractual sale restrictions into the fair value measurement of affected equity securities and disclose the amount of any related valuation discount. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements.

PGIM GLOBAL HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.

Investment Objective and Policies

There have been no material changes to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report that have not been approved by stockholders.

Investment Objective. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without stockholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Fund’s stockholders.

Investment Policies.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in high yield fixed income instruments of companies and governments located around the world, including emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Investable Assets (as defined below) will be invested in a portfolio of global high yield fixed income instruments with varying maturities and other investments (including derivatives) with similar economic characteristics. Such investments generally involve greater volatility of price and risks to principal and income than securities in the higher rating categories. This 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy and may be changed by the Board without stockholder approval and after providing common stockholders with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change as required by the rules under the 1940 Act. The term “high yield” refers to fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade (rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s, BB+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality. The term “Investable Assets” refers to the net assets attributable to the outstanding common stock of the Fund plus the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock issued by the Fund, the principal amount of any borrowings and the principal on any debt securities issued by the Fund. The Fund may invest in instruments of any duration or maturity.

The Fund expects to invest in at least four countries (including the United States) and approximately 40% of its Investable Assets in instruments of foreign issuers, dependent upon current investment opportunities. The Fund’s investments in foreign issuers may be lower if conditions are not favorable, but such investments may not be lower than 30% of the Fund’s Investable Assets. Such investments include fixed income instruments of U.S. and foreign corporations and governments, supranational organizations, semi-governmental entities or government agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. The Fund invests in securities of emerging market countries. The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments that are denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies.

 

226


  

 

 

 

High yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal and are considered to have a greater vulnerability to default than higher rated securities. In the event that a security receives different ratings from different NRSROs, the Fund will treat the security as being rated in the highest rating category received from an NRSRO. Below investment grade securities and comparable unrated securities involve substantial risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business developments. All percentage and ratings limitations on securities in which the Fund may invest apply at the time of making an investment. In the event that the Fund disposes of a portfolio security subsequent to its being downgraded, the Fund may experience a greater loss than if such security had been sold prior to such downgrade.

The Fund considers fixed income instruments to include bonds, debentures, notes, commercial paper floating rate or variable rate instruments and other similar types of debt instruments, as well as, loan participations and assignments, money market instruments, payment-in-kind securities, and derivatives related to or referencing these types of instruments.

Under circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Investable Assets in fixed income instruments that are rated investment grade (Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality at the time of investment.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Investable Assets in loan participations and assignments.

The Fund may invest in issuers who are in default at the time of purchase.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may be for hedging, investment or leverage purposes, or to manage interest rates or the duration of the Fund’s portfolio. Although the Fund is not limited in the types of derivatives it can use, the Fund currently expects that its principal investments in derivative instruments may include investments in credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards contracts, but the Fund may also invest in futures contracts and U.S. Treasury swaps. Any derivatives instruments that provide investment exposure to the securities suggested by the Fund’s name, or facilitate the Fund’s investment in those securities by increasing or decreasing the Fund’s exposure to one or more risk factors associated with those securities, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy.

Investment Restrictions.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

The following are fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund and, prior to the issuance of any preferred stock, may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Subsequent to the issuance of a class of preferred stock, the following investment restrictions may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and of preferred stock, voting together as a class, and the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting separately by class. In each case, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable, for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable, represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of such shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable. The Fund may not:

1. Purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time, except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order, SEC release, no-action letter or similar relief or interpretations (collectively, the “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”).

2. Issue senior securities or borrow money or pledge its assets, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

3. Buy or sell real estate, except that investment in securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported or secured by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

4. Buy or sell physical commodities or contracts involving physical commodities. The Fund may purchase and sell (i) derivative, hedging and similar instruments such as financial futures contracts and options thereon, and (ii) securities or instruments backed by, or the return from which is linked to, physical commodities or currencies, such as forward currency exchange contracts, and the Fund may exercise rights relating to such instruments, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold physical commodities and contracts involving physical commodities acquired as a result of the Fund’s ownership of instruments supported or secured thereby until they can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

 

228


  

 

 

 

5. Engage in the underwriting of securities except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in disposing of a portfolio security.

6. Purchase any security if as a result 25% or more of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry or group of industries, except for temporary defensive purposes, and except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

7. Make loans, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. The acquisition of credit instruments, including without limitation, bonds, debentures, repurchase agreements, other debt securities or instruments, or participations or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or instruments similar to any of the foregoing will not be considered the making of a loan, and is permitted if consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 5, a technical provision of the Securities Act deems certain persons to be “underwriters” if they purchase a security from an issuer and later sell it to the public. Although it is not believed that the application of this Securities Act provision would cause the Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the policy set forth in Investment Restriction 5 will be interpreted not to prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an underwriter may be liable for material omissions or misstatements in an issuer’s registration statement or prospectus.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 7, the Fund may currently lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets.

Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions

Although not fundamental, the Fund has the following additional investment restrictions which may be changed by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval.

The Fund may not:

1. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Other Information (continued)

 

 

Compliance with any policy, investment restriction or limitation of the Fund that is expressed as a percentage of assets is determined at the time of investment. The policy will not be violated if these limitations are exceeded because of changes in the market value or investment rating of the Fund’s assets. The Fund interprets its policies with respect to borrowing and lending to permit such activities as may be lawful for the Fund, to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Charter or By-laws Amendment

There have not been changes in the Fund’s charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund that have not been approved by stockholders since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report.

PGIM HIGH YIELD BOND FUND, INC.

Investment Objective and Policies

There have been no material changes to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report that have not been approved by stockholders.

Investment Objective. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without stockholder approval.

Investment Policies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds that are rated below investment grade with varying maturities and other investments (including derivatives) with similar economic characteristics. For the purposes of this policy, “bonds” include all fixed income securities, other than preferred stock, and “high yield” refers to fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade (rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s, BB+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality. This 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy and may be changed by the Board of Directors of the Fund without stockholder approval and after providing holders of Common Stock with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change as required by the rules under the 1940 Act. The term “investable assets” refers to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed, including as a result of any shares of preferred stock or notes or other debt securities that may be issued by the Fund) minus the sum of (i) accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than liabilities for money borrowed, including the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock, and principal on notes and other debt securities issued by the Fund), (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on money borrowed and (iii) accumulated dividends on any outstanding shares of Common Stock and preferred stock issued by the Fund.

Any derivatives instruments that provide investment exposure to the securities suggested by the Fund’s name, or facilitate the Fund’s investment in those securities by increasing or decreasing the Fund’s exposure to one or more risk factors associated with those securities, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy.

The Fund may not invest in municipal debt obligations (except for temporary defensive measures), asset-backed securities (including collateralized debt obligations but excluding collateralized loan obligations), and mortgage-backed securities (including securities issued by the U.S. government and agencies as well as privately). The Fund defines the term “asset-backed security” as a type of pass through instrument that pays interest based upon the cash flow of an underlying pool of assets, such as automobile loans or credit card receivables.

Under circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its investable assets in U.S. currency denominated and/or foreign currency denominated fixed income instruments issued by foreign issuers.

The Fund may invest in issuers who are in default at the time of purchase.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its investable assets in fixed income instruments that are rated investment grade (Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality.

Under circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its investable assets in loan participations and assignments.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may be for hedging, investment or leverage purposes, or to manage interest rates or the duration of the Fund’s portfolio. Although the Fund is not limited in the types of derivatives it can use, the Fund currently expects that its derivatives use will consist primarily of the following instruments and transactions: futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, U.S. Treasury swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps on individual securities or groups or indices of securities (including high yield fixed income instruments) and credit-linked notes.

Investment Restrictions.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

The following are fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund and, prior to the issuance of any preferred stock, may not be changed without the approval of the holders of

a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Subsequent to the issuance of a class of preferred stock, the following investment restrictions may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and of preferred stock, voting together as a class, and the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting separately by class. In each case, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable, for this purpose and under the 1940 Act means the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable, represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of such shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock, as applicable. The Fund may not:

1. Purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time, except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order, SEC release, no-action letter or similar relief or interpretations (collectively, the “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”).

2. Issue senior securities or borrow money or pledge its assets, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

3. Buy or sell real estate, except that investment in securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported or secured by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

4. Buy or sell physical commodities or contracts involving physical commodities. The Fund may purchase and sell (i) derivative, hedging and similar instruments such as financial futures contracts and options thereon, and (ii) securities or instruments backed by, or the return from which is linked to, physical commodities or currencies, such as forward currency exchange contracts, and the Fund may exercise rights relating to such instruments, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold physical commodities and contracts involving physical commodities acquired as a result of the Fund’s ownership of instruments supported or secured thereby until they can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

5. Engage in the underwriting of securities except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in disposing of a portfolio security.

 

232


  

 

 

 

6. Purchase any security if as a result 25% or more of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry or group of industries, except for temporary defensive purposes, and except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

7. Make loans, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. The acquisition of credit instruments, including without limitation, bonds, debentures, repurchase agreements, other debt securities or instruments, or participations or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or instruments similar to any of the foregoing will not be considered the making of a loan, and is permitted if consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 5, a technical provision of the Securities Act deems certain persons to be “underwriters” if they purchase a security from an issuer and later sell it to the public. Although it is not believed that the application of this Securities Act provision would cause the Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the policy set forth in Investment Restriction 5 will be interpreted not to prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an underwriter may be liable for material omissions or misstatements in an issuer’s registration statement or prospectus.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 7, the Fund may currently lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets.

Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions

Although not fundamental, the Fund has the following additional investment restrictions which may be changed by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval.

The Fund may not:

1. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Compliance with any policy, investment restriction or limitation of the Fund that is expressed as a percentage of assets is determined at the time of investment. The policy will not be violated if these limitations are exceeded because of changes in the market value or investment rating of the Fund’s assets. The Fund interprets its policies with respect to borrowing and lending to permit such activities as may be lawful for the Fund, to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Charter or By-laws Amendment

There have not been changes in the Fund’s charter or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund that have not been approved by stockholders since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report.

PGIM SHORT DURATION HIGH YIELD OPPORTUNITIES FUND

Investment Objective and Policies

There have been no material changes to the investment objectives, policies and restrictions since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report.

Investment Objective. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return, through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Investment Policies.

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade, or considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality. Such investments generally involve greater volatility of price and risks to principal and income than securities in the higher rating categories. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Investable Assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade with varying maturities and other investments (including derivatives) with similar economic characteristics. For purposes of this policy, “high yield” refers to fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade (rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s, BB+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality. This 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval upon providing the Fund’s shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change as required by the rules under the 1940 Act. The term “Investable Assets” refers to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed, including as a result of any preferred shares or notes or other debt securities that may be issued by the Fund) minus the sum of (i) accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than liabilities for money borrowed, including the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares, and principal on notes and other debt securities issued by the Fund), (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest on money borrowed and (iii) accumulated dividends on any Common Shares and preferred shares issued by the Fund. Although the Fund may invest in instruments of any duration or maturity, under normal circumstances, the Fund generally will seek to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration, including the effects of leverage, of approximately three years or less and a weighted average maturity of approximately five years or less. The Fund’s weighted average portfolio duration and/or maturity, however, may be longer at any time or from time to time depending on market conditions.

 

234


  

 

 

 

High yield fixed income instruments that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal and are considered to have a greater vulnerability to default than higher rated securities.

In the event that a security receives different ratings from different NRSROs, the Fund will treat the security as being rated in the highest rating category received from an NRSRO. All percentage and ratings limitations on securities in which the Fund may invest apply at the time of making an investment. In the event that the Fund disposes of a portfolio security subsequent to its being downgraded, the Fund may experience a greater loss than if such security had been sold prior to such downgrade.

Below investment grade securities and comparable unrated securities involve substantial risk of loss and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic and business developments. Securities rated in the lower rating categories (Caa1 or lower by Moody’s, CCC+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) are subject to high credit risk.

The Fund’s fixed income instruments include bonds, debentures, notes, commercial paper, fixed or variable floating rate instruments, and other similar types of debt instruments, as well as preferred stock, bank loans, participations and assignments, securitized credit investments, structured product securities and related instruments, money market instruments, and derivatives related to or referencing these types of securities and instruments. The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments of companies or governments.

The Fund may invest in junk bonds. Additionally, the Fund may only invest up to 10% of its Investable Assets in high yield instruments rated in the lower rating categories (Caa1 or lower by Moody’s, CCC+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO), or considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality at the time of investment, unless the Subadviser believes that the financial condition of the issuer or the protection afforded to the particular instruments is stronger than would otherwise be indicated by such low ratings. The Fund may invest in issuers who are in default at the time of purchase. Such instruments are subject to very high credit risk.

Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a security to changes in interest rates. While there is no limit on the remaining maturity or duration of any individual security in which the Fund may invest, the Fund generally will seek to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration, including the effects of leverage (“weighted average portfolio duration”), of approximately three years or less and a weighted average maturity of approximately five

years or less. The Fund’s weighted average portfolio duration or weighted average maturity, however, may be longer at any time or from time to time depending on market conditions. The Fund may use derivatives as part of its duration management strategies.

Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a debt security (or portfolio of debt securities) that serves as a measure of its price risk. In general, each year of duration represents an expected 1% change in the value for every 1% immediate change in interest rates. For example, if a portfolio of fixed income securities has an average duration of four years, its value can be expected to fall about 4% if interest rates rise by 1%. Conversely, the portfolio’s value can be expected to rise about 4% if interest rates fall by 1%. As a result, prices of securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with shorter durations. By comparison, a debt security’s “maturity” is the date on which the security matures and the issuer is obligated to repay principal. Duration is not necessarily equal to average maturity. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers a security’s yield, coupon payments, principal payments and call features in addition to the amount of time until the security finally matures. As the value of a security changes over time, so will its duration.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Investable Assets in U.S. currency denominated and/or foreign currency denominated fixed income instruments issued by foreign issuers.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Investable Assets in fixed income instruments that are rated investment grade (Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO) or are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality.

The Fund’s investments in derivatives may be for hedging, investment or leverage purposes, or to manage interest rates or the duration of the Fund’s portfolio. Although the Fund is not limited in the types of derivatives it can use, the Fund currently expects that its derivative instruments will consist primarily of the following instruments and transactions: futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts, U.S. Treasury swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps on individual securities or groups or indices of securities (including high yield fixed income instruments), options thereon and credit-linked notes. Any derivatives instruments that provide investment exposure to the securities suggested by the Fund’s name, or facilitate the Fund’s investment in those securities by increasing or decreasing the Fund’s exposure to one or more risk factors associated with those securities, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the Fund’s 80% investment policy.

Investment Restrictions.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

The following are fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund and, prior to the issuance of any preferred shares, may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”). Subsequent to the issuance of a class of preferred shares, the following investment restrictions may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares and of preferred shares, voting together as a class, and the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred shares, voting separately by class. In each case, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares and/or preferred shares, as applicable, for this purpose and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), means the lesser of (i) 67% of the Common Shares and/or preferred shares, as applicable, represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of such shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares and/or preferred shares, as applicable. The Fund may not:

1. Purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as each may be amended from time to time, except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order, SEC release, no-action letter or similar relief or interpretations (collectively, the “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”).

2. Issue senior securities or borrow money or pledge its assets, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

3. Buy or sell real estate, except that investment in securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported or secured by interests in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

4. Buy or sell physical commodities or contracts involving physical commodities. The Fund may purchase and sell (i) derivative, hedging and similar instruments such as financial futures contracts and options thereon, and (ii) securities or instruments backed by, or the return from which is linked to, physical commodities or currencies, such as forward currency exchange contracts, and the Fund may exercise rights relating to such instruments, including the right to enforce security interests and to hold physical commodities and contracts involving physical commodities acquired as a result of the Fund’s ownership of instruments supported or secured thereby until they can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

5. Engage in the underwriting of securities except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in disposing of a portfolio security.

6. Purchase any security if as a result 25% or more of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry or group of industries, except for temporary defensive purposes, and except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

7. Make loans, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. The acquisition of credit instruments, including without limitation, bonds, debentures, repurchase agreements, other debt securities or instruments, or bank loans, participations and assignments or other interests therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances or instruments similar to any of the foregoing will not be considered the making of a loan, and is permitted if consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 5, a technical provision of the Securities Act deems certain persons to be “underwriters” if they purchase a security from an issuer and later sell it to the public. Although it is not believed that the application of this Securities Act provision would cause the Fund to be engaged in the business of underwriting, the policy set forth in Investment Restriction 5 will be interpreted not to prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition or disposition of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the Securities Act. Under the Securities Act, an underwriter may be liable for material omissions or misstatements in an issuer’s registration statement or prospectus.

For purposes of Investment Restriction 7, the Fund may currently lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets.

Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions

Although not fundamental, the Fund has the following additional investment restrictions which may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

The Fund may not:

1. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

 

238


  

 

 

 

Compliance with any policy, investment restriction or limitation of the Fund that is expressed as a percentage of assets is determined at the time of investment. The policy will not be violated if these limitations are exceeded because of changes in the market value or investment rating of the Fund’s assets. The Fund interprets its policies with respect to borrowing and lending to permit such activities as may be lawful for the Fund, to the full extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.

Declaration of Trust or By-laws Amendment

There have not been changes in the Fund’s Declaration of Trust or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund that have not been approved by shareholders since the Fund’s 2023 Annual Report.

Principal Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the principal risk factors since each Fund’s 2023 Annual Report.

A Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program and, due to the uncertainty inherent in all investments, there can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in each Fund. Each Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.

“Covenant-Lite” Risk. Some of the loans or debt obligations in which the Fund may invest or get exposure to may be “covenant-lite”, which means the loans or obligations contain fewer financial maintenance covenants than other loans or obligations (in some cases, none) and do not include terms which allow the lender to monitor the borrower’s performance and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Fund in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. The Fund may also experience difficulty, expenses or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant-lite loans or obligations. As a result of these risks, the Fund’s exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Fund’s net income and NAV.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 239


Other Information (continued)

 

 

Credit Risk: This is the risk that the issuer, the guarantor, or the insurer of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a contract may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and interest payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. Additionally, fixed income securities could lose value due to a loss of confidence in the ability of the issuer, guarantor, insurer, or counterparty to pay back debt. The lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.

Cyber Security Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s Manager, subadviser and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. In addition, the rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence, could exacerbate these risks or result in cyber security incidents that implicate personal data.

Debt Obligations Risk: Debt obligations are fixed income investments that are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same rate of interest and therefore would earn less income.

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 its 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

 

240


  

 

 

 

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.

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.

Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by non-U.S. investors, or that prevent non-U.S. investors from withdrawing their money at will.

The Fund may invest in some emerging markets that subject it to risks such as those associated with illiquidity, custody of assets, different settlement and clearance procedures and asserting legal title under a developing legal and regulatory regime to a greater degree than in developed markets or even in other emerging markets.

Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) may involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the United States. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal

system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund’s performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines.

In addition, the Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.

Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration debt securities. For example, a fixed income security with a duration of three years is expected to decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. This is referred to as “duration risk.” When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” For premium bonds (bonds acquired at prices that exceed their par or principal value) purchased by the Fund, prepayment risk may be elevated. When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Fund’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.” The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.

Junk Bonds Risk: High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to have lower market liquidity than higher-rated securities. The liquidity of particular issuers or industries within a particular investment category may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning. The non-investment grade bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings and become illiquid due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large sustained sales by major investors, a high profile default or a change in the market’s psychology.

 

242


  

 

 

 

Leverage Risk: The Fund may seek to enhance the level of its current distributions to holders of common shares through the use of leverage. The Fund may use leverage through borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions. The Fund may borrow in amounts up to 33 1/3% (as determined immediately after borrowing) of the Fund’s investable assets. The use of leverage can create special risks. There can be no assurance that any leveraging strategy the Fund employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

Limited Term and Tender Offer Risk (applicable to SDHY only): In accordance with the Fund’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Fund intends to terminate as of the close of business on the ninth anniversary of the effective date of the Fund’s initial registration statement, which the Fund currently expects to occur on or about November 30, 2029 (the “Dissolution Date”); provided that the Board may, by a vote of a majority of the Board and seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the Board who either (i) have been a member of the Board for a period of at least thirty-six months (or since the commencement of the Fund’s operations, if less than thirty-six months) or (ii) were nominated to serve as a member of the Board by a majority of the Continuing Trustees (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) then members of the Board (the “75% Requirement”) (a “Board Action Vote”), without shareholder approval, extend the Dissolution Date once for up to six months, which date shall then become the Dissolution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine, by a Board Action Vote, to cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer, as of a date within twelve months preceding the Dissolution Date (as may be extended as described above), to all common shareholders to purchase 100% of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Fund at a price equal to the NAV per Common Share on the expiration date of the tender offer (an “Eligible Tender Offer”). The Board has established that the Fund must have at least $200 million of net assets immediately following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer to ensure the continued viability of the Fund (the “Dissolution Threshold”). In an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund will offer to purchase all Common Shares held by each common shareholder; provided that if the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer, and the Fund will terminate as scheduled. If an Eligible Tender Offer is conducted and the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, all Common Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn will be purchased by the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Tender Offer. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval and cause the Fund to have a perpetual existence. Unless the limited term provision of the Declaration of Trust is amended by the Board and the shareholders in accordance with the

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 243


Other Information (continued)

 

 

Declaration of Trust, or unless the Fund completes an Eligible Tender Offer and converts to perpetual existence, the Fund will terminate on or about the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extension). The Fund is not a so-called “target date” or “life cycle” fund whose asset allocation becomes more conservative over time as its target date, often associated with retirement, approaches. In addition, the Fund is not a “target term” fund as its investment objective is not to return its original NAV on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer. The Fund’s investment objective and policies are not designed to seek to return to investors that purchase shares in this offering their initial investment on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer, and such investors and investors that purchase shares after the completion of this offering may receive more or less than their original investment upon dissolution or in an Eligible Tender Offer. Because the assets of the Fund will be liquidated in connection with the dissolution, the Fund will incur transaction costs in connection with dispositions of portfolio securities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to the Dissolution Date and may be required to sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not, including at times when market conditions are not favorable, which may cause the Fund to lose money. In particular, the Fund’s portfolio may still have large exposures to illiquid securities as the Dissolution Date approaches, and losses due to portfolio liquidation may be significant. The Fund generally considers “illiquid securities” to be securities that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value used by the Fund in determining its NAV. During the Wind-Down Period, the Fund may begin liquidating all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and the Fund may deviate from its investment strategy and may not achieve its investment objective. As a result, during the Wind-Down Period, the Fund’s distributions may decrease, and such distributions may include a return of capital. It is expected that common shareholders will receive cash in any liquidating distribution from the Fund, regardless of their participation in the Fund’s automatic dividend reinvestment plan. However, if on the Dissolution Date the Fund owns securities for which no market exists or securities that are trading at depressed prices, such securities may be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund cannot predict the amount, if any, of securities that will be required to be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund may receive proceeds from the disposition of portfolio investments that are less than the valuations of such investments by the Fund and, in particular, losses from the disposition of illiquid securities may be significant. The disposition of portfolio investments by the Fund could also cause market prices of such instruments, and hence the NAV and market price of the Common Shares, to decline. In addition, disposition of portfolio investments will cause the Fund to incur increased brokerage and related transaction expenses. Moreover, in conducting such portfolio transactions, the Fund may need to deviate from its investment policies and may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s portfolio composition may change as its portfolio holdings mature or are called or sold in anticipation of an Eligible Tender Offer or the Dissolution Date. During such period(s), it is possible that the

 

244


  

 

 

 

Fund will hold a greater percentage of its total assets in shorter term and lower yielding securities and cash and cash equivalents than it would otherwise, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund’s performance and distributions to common shareholders, which may in turn adversely impact the market value of the Common Shares. In addition, the Fund may be required to reduce its leverage, which could also adversely impact its performance. The additional cash or cash equivalents held by the Fund could be obtained through reducing the Fund’s distributions to common shareholders and/or holding cash in lieu of reinvesting, which could limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to or around the Dissolution Date, which may exacerbate the foregoing risks and considerations. A common shareholder may be subject to the foregoing risks over an extended period of time, particularly if the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer and is also subsequently terminated by or around the Dissolution Date. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund anticipates that funds to pay the aggregate purchase price of shares accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer will be first derived from any cash on hand and then from the proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments held by the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be required to dispose of portfolio investments in connection with any reduction in the Fund’s outstanding leverage necessary in order to maintain the Fund’s desired leverage ratios following a tender offer. The risks related to the disposition of securities in connection with the Fund’s dissolution also would be present in connection with the disposition of securities in connection with an Eligible Tender Offer. It is likely that during the pendency of a tender offer, and possibly for a time thereafter, the Fund will hold a greater than normal percentage of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and decrease returns to shareholders. The tax effect of any such dispositions of portfolio investments will depend on the difference between the price at which the investments are sold and the tax basis of the Fund in the investments. Any capital gains recognized on such dispositions, as reduced by any capital losses the Fund realizes in the year of such dispositions and by any available capital loss carryforwards, will be distributed to shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) during or with respect to such year, and such distributions will generally be taxable to common shareholders. Therefore, the Fund’s early disposition of portfolio investments could accelerate the timing of the Fund’s recognition of taxable income and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to common shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. The purchase of Common Shares by the Fund pursuant to a tender offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of non-tendering common shareholders. All common shareholders remaining after a tender offer may be subject to proportionately higher expenses due to the reduction in the Fund’s

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 245


Other Information (continued)

 

 

total assets resulting from payment for the tendered Common Shares. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may result in less investment flexibility, reduced diversification and greater volatility for the Fund, and may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s investment performance. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may also cause Common Shares to become thinly traded or otherwise negatively impact secondary trading of Common Shares. A reduction in net assets, and the corresponding increase in the Fund’s expense ratio, could result in lower returns and put the Fund at a disadvantage relative to its peers and potentially cause the Common Shares to trade at a wider discount to NAV than it otherwise would. Furthermore, the portfolio of the Fund following an Eligible Tender Offer could be significantly different and, therefore, common shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund could be subject to greater risk. For example, the Fund may be required to sell its more liquid, higher quality portfolio investments to purchase Common Shares that are tendered in an Eligible Tender Offer, which would leave a less liquid, lower quality portfolio for remaining shareholders. The prospects of an Eligible Tender Offer may attract arbitrageurs who would purchase the Common Shares prior to the tender offer for the sole purpose of tendering those shares which could have the effect of exacerbating the risks described herein for shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund following an Eligible Tender Offer. The Fund is not required to conduct an Eligible Tender Offer. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, there can be no assurance that the number of tendered Common Shares would not result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, in which case the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer and the Fund will dissolve on the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extensions of no more than six months in total). Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer in which the number of tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval. Thereafter, the Fund will have a perpetual term. The Manager may have a conflict of interest in recommending to the Board that the Dissolution Date be eliminated because the Manager would continue to receive management fees on the remaining assets of the Fund while it remains in existence. The Fund is not required to conduct additional tender offers following an Eligible Tender Offer and conversion to perpetual existence. Therefore, remaining common shareholders may not have another opportunity to participate in a tender offer.

Liquidity Risk: The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments for any reason, the

 

246


  

 

 

 

Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Fund may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade order of a given size. 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), 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: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

Risks of Investments in Bank Loans: The Fund’s ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans (whether through participations, assignments or otherwise) will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the Fund’s scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan because of a default, bankruptcy or any other reason would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Even with loans secured by collateral, there is the risk that the value of the collateral may decline, may be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. Further, the Fund’s access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy laws.

Risk of Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value: Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless a common shareholder of SDHY, or a holder of common stock of ISD or GHY (collectively referred to herein as “common shareholders”) elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A, (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common shares of SDHY and common stock of ISD and GHY (collectively

 

248


  

 

 

 

referred to herein as “Common Shares”) will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Funds’ Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional Common Shares. The common shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions (together, a “Dividend”) in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the Dividend record date. Otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared Dividend. Such notice will be effective with respect to a particular Dividend. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on behalf of the common shareholders and may reinvest that cash in additional Common Shares.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common shareholder’s Common Shares are registered. Whenever the Funds declare a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price per Common Share plus per share fees (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the NAV per Common Share (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of shares of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per Common Share on the payment date, provided that, if the NAV per Common Share is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per Common Share is greater than the closing market value per Common Share plus per share fees (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. “Per share fees” include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds 249


Other Information (continued)

 

 

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trades on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases on behalf of participants. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the NAV per Common Share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator for Common Shares may exceed the NAV per Common Share, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in shares of Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the NAV per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date, provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date for purposes of determining the number of shares issuable under the Plan.

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of the common shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

The Plan Administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the plan will be paid for by the Funds. If a participant elects by written, Internet or telephonic notice to the Plan Administrator to have the Plan Administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the Plan Administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the Plan Administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.12 per

 

250


  

 

 

 

share fee. If a participant elects to sell his or her Common Shares, the Plan Administrator will process all sale instructions received no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received by the Plan Administrator, assuming the relevant markets are open and sufficient market liquidity exists (and except where deferral is required under applicable federal or state laws or regulations). Such sale will be made through the Plan Administrator’s broker on the relevant market and the sale price will not be determined until such time as the broker completes the sale. In every case the price to the participant shall be the weighted average sale price obtained by the Plan Administrator’s broker net of fees for each aggregate order placed by the participant and executed by the broker. To maximize cost savings, the Plan Administrator will seek to sell shares in round lot transactions. For this purpose the Plan Administrator may combine a participant’s shares with those of other selling participants.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Funds. However, each participant will be charged a per share fee (currently $0.05 per share) on all Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a sale of Common Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to the fees described in the preceding paragraph.

Each participant may terminate the participant’s account under the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator via the Plan Administrator’s website at www.computershare.com/ investor, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the participant’s Statement and sending it to the Plan Administrator or by calling the Plan Administrator. Such termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the Plan Administrator prior to any Dividend record date. Upon any withdrawal or termination, the Plan Administrator will cause to be delivered to each terminating participant a statement of holdings for the appropriate number of the Fund’s whole book-entry Common Shares and a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value per Common Share as of the close of business on the date the termination is effective less any applicable fees. In the event a participant’s notice of termination is on or after a record date (but before payment date) for an account whose Dividends are reinvested, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may either distribute such Dividends in cash or reinvest them in Common Shares on behalf of the terminating participant. In the event reinvestment is made, the Plan Administrator will process the termination as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days after the reinvestment is completed. The Plan may be terminated by the Funds upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any Dividend by the Fund.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

 

 

 

The Fund’s Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PGIM High Yield Bond Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) consists of eight individuals, six of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the Directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established five standing committees: the Audit Committee, two Investment Committees, the Compliance Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.

Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”), the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) on behalf of its PGIM Credit investment group (“PGIM Credit”) and the Fund’s sub-subadvisory agreement with PGIM Limited (“PGIML”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 1 and 9-10, 2026 (the “Board Meeting”) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2027, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PGIM Investments, PGIM, and, where appropriate, affiliates of PGIM. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other funds in relevant peer universes and peer groups, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PGIM Investments, the subadviser, and, as relevant, its affiliates, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve an agreement with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PGIM Investments throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the Board Meeting.

 

PGIM Credit Closed-End Funds


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

 

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PGIM Investments, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, between PGIM Investments and PGIM, which, through its PGIM Credit unit, serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PGIM Investments, and between PGIM and PGIML, which serves as the Fund’s sub-subadviser pursuant to the terms of a sub-subadvisory agreement with PGIM, are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple funds, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML. The Board noted that PGIM Credit and PGIML are affiliated with PGIM Investments. The Board considered the services provided by PGIM Investments, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser and sub-subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of accounting oversight, fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund, such as PGIM Investments’ role as administrator for the Fund’s liquidity risk management program and as valuation designee. With respect to PGIM Investments’ oversight of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, the Board noted that PGIM Investments’ Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PGIM Investments, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PGIM Investments’ senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser and sub-subadviser. The Board also considered that PGIM Investments pays the salaries of all of the officers and interested Directors of the Fund who are part of Fund management. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PGIM Credit and PGIML, respectively, including investment research and security selection, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PGIM Investments’ evaluation of the subadviser and the sub-subadviser, as well as PGIM Investments’ recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement and sub-subadvisory agreements.

The Board considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Investments’ senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund, PGIM Credit, and PGIML, and also considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PGIM

Investments’, PGIM Credit’s and PGIML’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, and PGIML. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PGIM Investments, the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIM and the sub-subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIML, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML under the management, subadvisory and sub-subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PGIM Investments

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PGIM Investments the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations of direct and indirect costs, and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PGIM Investments realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. During the course of time, the Board has considered information regarding the launch date of the Fund, the management fees of the Fund compared to those of similarly managed funds and PGIM Investments’ investment in the Fund over time. The Board considered that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale. The Board noted that, while the Fund does not have breakpoints in its management fees, economies of scale can be shared with the Fund in other ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment.

The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PGIM Investments’ costs are not specific to any individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, and PGIML

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, PGIML and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PGIM Investments included benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PGIM Investments’ association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PGIM and PGIML included the ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, and PGIML were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to funds.

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses

The Board considered certain additional factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025.

The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PGIM Investments to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable funds in a peer group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

The funds included in the Peer Universe, which was used to consider performance, and the peer group, which was used to consider expenses and fees, were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of fund data. In certain circumstances, PGIM Investments also provided supplemental peer universe or peer group information for reasons addressed with the Board. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over various periods, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the funds (for performance, the best performing funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost funds).

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth net performance comparisons (which reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the peer universe, actual management fees with the peer group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the peer group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods.

 

●

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

 

●

The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory and sub-subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

* * *

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

The Fund’s Board of Directors

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) consists of eight individuals, six of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the Directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act.

With respect to PGIM Investment’ oversight of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, the Board noted that PGIM Investments’ Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PGIM Investments, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PGIM Investments’

senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser and sub-subadviser. The Board also considered that PGIM Investments pays the salaries of all of the officers and interested Directors of the Fund who are part of Fund management. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PGIM Credit and PGIML, including investment research and security selection, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PGIM Investments’ evaluation of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, as well as PGIM Investments’ recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement and sub-subadvisory agreements.

The Board considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Investments’ senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund, PGIM Credit, and PGIML, and also considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Credit’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PGIM Investments’, PGIM Credit’s and PGIML’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PGIM Investments and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIM Credit and the sub-subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIML, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML under the management, subadvisory and sub-subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PGIM Investments

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PGIM Investments the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations of direct and indirect costs, and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning economies of scale that PGIM Investments may realize as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. During the course of time, the Board has considered information regarding the launch date of the Fund, the management fees of the Fund compared to those of similarly managed funds and PGIM Investments’ investment in the Fund over time. The Board noted that, while the Fund does not have breakpoints in its management fees, economies of scale can be shared with the Fund in other ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board considered that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale.

The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PGIM Investments’ costs are not specific to any individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services. In light of the Fund’s current size, performance and expense structure, the Board concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Fund’s fee schedule is acceptable at this time.

Other Benefits to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, PGIML and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PGIM Investments included benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PGIM Investments association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PGIM Credit and PGIML included the ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to funds.

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses

The Board considered certain additional factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025.

The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PGIM Investments to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable funds in a peer group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total

expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

The funds included in the peer universe, which was used to consider performance, and the peer group, which was used to consider expenses and fees, were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of fund data. In certain circumstances, PGIM Investments also provided supplemental peer universe or peer group information, for reasons addressed with the Board. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over various periods, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the funds (for performance, the best performing funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost funds).

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth net performance comparisons (which reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the peer universe, actual management fees with the peer group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the peer group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

 

●

The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory and sub-subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

* * *

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

The Fund’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) consists of seven individuals, five of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the Trustees of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

 

retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established five standing committees: the Audit Committee, two Investment Committees, the Compliance Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Trustees.

Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”), the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) on behalf of its PGIM Credit investment group (“PGIM Credit”) and PGIM Limited (“PGIML”). PGIM Credit and PGIML are collectively referred to herein as the “subadviser.” In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 1 and 9-10, 2026 (the “Board Meeting”) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2027, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PGIM Investments, PGIM, and, where appropriate, affiliates of PGIM. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other funds in relevant peer universes and peer groups, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PGIM Investments, the subadviser, and, as relevant, its affiliates, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PGIM Investments and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve an agreement with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PGIM Investments throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the Board Meeting.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PGIM Investments, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PGIM Investments and PGIM, through its PGIM Credit, and PGIML, which serve as the Fund’s subadvisers pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PGIM Investments, are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Fund as part of its

consideration of agreements for multiple funds, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML. The Board noted that PGIM Credit and PGIML are affiliated with PGIM Investments. The Board considered the services provided by PGIM Investments, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser and sub-subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of accounting oversight, fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund, such as PGIM Investments’ role as administrator for the Fund’s liquidity risk management program and as valuation designee. With respect to PGIM Investments’ oversight of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, the Board noted that PGIM Investments’ Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PGIM Investments, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PGIM Investments’ senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser and sub-subadviser. The Board also considered that PGIM Investments pays the salaries of all of the officers and interested Trustees of the Fund who are part of Fund management. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PGIM Credit and PGIML, respectively, including investment research and security selection, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PGIM Investments’ evaluation of the subadviser and the sub-subadviser, as well as PGIM Investments’ recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser and sub-subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement and sub-subadvisory agreements.

The Board considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM Investments’ senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund, PGIM Credit, and PGIML, and also considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PGIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PGIM Investments’, PGIM Credit’s and PGIML’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit, and PGIML. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to PGIM Investments, PGIM Credit and PGIML.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PGIM Investments, the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIM and the sub-subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PGIML, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses

The Board considered certain additional factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2025. The Board considered that the Fund commenced operations on November 25, 2020 and that longer-term performance was not yet available.

The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PGIM Investments to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable funds in a peer group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

The Board considered PGIM Investments’ assertion that benchmark-relative performance comparison is a better measure for evaluating Fund performance in light of the Fund’s shorter duration profile as compared to peers.

The Board noted PGIM Investments’ assertion that the Fund has demonstrated competitive benchmark-relative results, outperforming on a gross basis over the 1-and/or 3-year trailing periods 100% of the time since inception.

 

●

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.

The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures


THE PGIM MUTUAL FUNDS

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY

on

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent

Accountants

The Audit Committee of each PGIM Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve the independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

 

  •  

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

 

  •  

a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

 

  •  

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services.

Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed non-audit services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Such proposed non-audit services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.

The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.

Audit Services

The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

  •

Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated). Fees related to fund merger support services are subject to a separate authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee with fees determined on a per occurrence and merger complexity basis.

Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated).

Other Non-Audit Services

Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Certain non-audit services provided to PGIM Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the PGIM Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to PGIM Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to PGIM Investments and its affiliates.

Item 12 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

PROXY VOTING This item describes the practices of PGIM Credit regarding voting client securities, including proxy voting and other actions related to securities held in client accounts.

Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

PGIM’s policy is to vote proxies in the best interests of its clients and based on the clients’ expressed priorities, if any. In the case of pooled accounts, PGIM’s policy is to vote proxies in the best interests of the pooled account.

The proxy voting policy contains detailed voting guidelines on a wide variety of issues commonly voted upon by shareholders. These guidelines reflect PGIM’s judgment of how to further the best interests of its clients through the shareholder or debt-holder voting process. PGIM generally votes with management on routine matters such as the appointment of accountants or the election of directors. From time to time, ballot issues arise that are not addressed by the policy or circumstances may suggest a vote not in accordance with the established guidelines. In these cases, voting decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by the applicable portfolio manager taking into consideration the potential economic impact of the proposal. Not all ballots are received by PGIM in advance of voting deadlines, but when ballots are received in a timely fashion, PGIM strives to meet its voting obligations. It cannot, however, guarantee that every proxy will be voted prior to its deadline.

With respect to non-U.S. holdings, PGIM takes into account additional restrictions in some countries that might impair its ability to trade those securities or have other potentially adverse economic consequences. PGIM generally votes non-U.S. securities on a best efforts basis if it determines that voting is in the best interests of its clients.

Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process

Occasionally, a conflict of interest can arise in connection with proxy voting. For example, the issuer of the securities being voted may also be a client of PGIM. When PGIM identifies an actual or potential material conflict of interest between the firm and its clients with respect to proxy voting, the matter is presented to senior management who will resolve such issue in consultation with the compliance and legal departments.

How to Obtain Information Regarding Proxy Voting

Any client may obtain a copy of PGIM’s proxy voting policy, guidelines, and procedures, as well as the proxy voting records for that client’s securities, by contacting the account management representative responsible for the client’s account.

Compensation and Conflicts Disclosure:

COMPENSATION. The base salary of an investment professional in the PGIM Credit investment group within PGIM is primarily based on market data relative to similar positions as well as the past performance, years of experience and scope of responsibility of the individual. PGIM Credit is allocated an overall incentive pool based on the investment and financial performance of the business. Incentive compensation for investment professionals, including the annual cash bonus, long term equity awards, and grants under PGIM’s long term incentive plans, is based on such person’s contribution to PGIM’s goal of providing investment performance to clients consistent with portfolio objectives, guidelines, risk parameters, and its compliance risk management and other policies, and is determined through a holistic, discretionary assessment of multiple quantitative and qualitative factors, as well as market-based data such as compensation trends and levels of overall compensation for similar positions in the asset management industry. In addition, an investment professional’s qualitative


contributions to the organization and its commercial success are considered in determining incentive compensation. Incentive compensation is not determined solely or predominantly based on the performance of, or value of assets in, any single account or group of client accounts.

PGIM Limited has adopted a remuneration policy in relation to activities conducted through the entities authorized and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom. The remuneration policy is intended to be compliant with the United Kingdom’s Investment Firms Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) and governs the remuneration of PGIM Limited staff and “material risk takers” (including those that are based outside the United Kingdom) of investment sub group of PGIM Limited.

An investment professional’s annual cash bonus is awarded after consideration of both corporate and individual performance and paid from an annual incentive pool. The pool is determined based on the overall financial performance of PGIM and allocated to investment groups by reference to their contribution to PGIM’s financial performance, investment performance, and success against key strategic initiatives.

Long term compensation consists of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential Financial”) restricted stock, and if applicable, grants under the long term incentive plan, grants under the targeted long term incentive plan, and, in connection with certain private funds, participation in carried interest or other performance based remuneration. The long term incentive plan is intended to align compensation with investment performance. The targeted long term incentive plan is intended to align the interests of certain of PGIM’s investment professionals with the performance of the particular alternative investment strategies or commingled investment vehicles they manage. Grants under the long term incentive plan and targeted long term incentive plan are participation interests in notional accounts with a beginning value of a specified dollar amount. For the long term incentive plan, the value attributed to these notional accounts increases or decreases over a defined period of time based on the performance of investment composites representing a number of PGIM’s investment strategies. With respect to targeted long term incentive awards, the value attributed to the notional accounts increases or decreases over a defined period of time based, as applicable, on the performance of either a composite of particular alternative investment strategies or a commingled investment vehicle. An investment composite is an aggregation of accounts with similar investment strategies. In addition, certain investment professionals receive carried interest or other performance based remuneration in connection with specific private funds or mandates, the terms of which are governed by the applicable fund or vehicle documentation. Select senior investment professionals also receive awards of Prudential Financial common stock, including through restricted stock awards or performance based equity awards, designed to align their interests with the long term financial performance of Prudential Financial. Each of the restricted stock awards, grants under the long term incentive plans, performance based equity awards, and carried interest arrangements is subject to applicable vesting, forfeiture, and other conditions.


CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Like other investment advisers, PGIM is subject to various conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of its business. PGIM strives to identify potential risks, including conflicts of interest, that are inherent in its business, and PGIM conducts annual conflict of interest reviews. However, it is not possible to identify every potential conflict that can arise. When actual or potential conflicts of interest are identified, PGIM seeks to address such conflicts through one or more of the following methods:

 

  •  

elimination of the conflict;

 

  •  

disclosure of the conflict; or

 

  •  

management of the conflict through the adoption of appropriate policies, procedures or other mitigants.

PGIM follows the policies of Prudential Financial on business ethics, personal securities trading, and information barriers. PGIM has adopted a code of ethics, allocation policies and conflicts of interest policies, among others, and has adopted supervisory procedures to monitor compliance with its policies. PGIM cannot guarantee, however, that its policies and procedures will detect and prevent, or result in the disclosure of, each and every situation in which a conflict arises or could potentially arise.

Side-by-Side Management of Accounts and Related Conflicts of Interest. PGIM’s side-by-side management of multiple accounts gives rise to other conflicts of interest. The following conflicts of interest apply, directly and/or indirectly, to PGIM Credit in connection with side-by-side management.

 

  •  

Performance Fees – PGIM manages accounts with asset-based fees alongside accounts with performance-based fees. This side by side management creates an incentive for PGIM and its investment professionals to favor one account over another. Specifically, PGIM has an incentive to favor accounts for which it receives performance fees, and possibly take greater investment risks in those accounts, in order to bolster performance and increase its fees. Additionally, for new accounts or those “ramping up” where fees are not charged until the account reaches a certain size, PGIM has an incentive to allocate investments to increase and accelerate its fees.

 

  •  

Affiliated Accounts – PGIM manages accounts on behalf of its affiliates as well as unaffiliated accounts. PGIM could be considered to have a financial incentive to prefer accounts of affiliates over others. Additionally, at times, PGIM’s affiliates provide initial funding or otherwise invest in vehicles managed by it, for example by providing “seed capital” for a fund or account. Managing “seeded” accounts alongside “non-seeded” accounts creates an incentive to favor the “seeded” accounts to establish a track record for a new strategy or product and possibly earn a higher return for PGIM’s affiliate. In addition, PGIM’s affiliated investment advisers from time to time allocate their asset allocation clients’ assets to PGIM. PGIM has an incentive to favor accounts used by its affiliates for their asset allocation clients to receive more assets from its affiliates. Furthermore, affiliated clients and certain other clients request and receive greater transparency, operational support, training, or other resources, in each case as permitted under applicable law. For example, representatives of Prudential Financial, the general account of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) and accounts of other affiliates that are responsible for assessing Prudential Financial’s enterprise investment risk have access to information about PGIM’s assets under management, including for third parties, that is not made available to unaffiliated clients unless required by applicable law. This information does not include specific unaffiliated client identifying information or portfolio information for clients that have prohibited PGIM from sharing such information with affiliates.


  •  

Larger Accounts/Higher Fee Strategies - Larger account clients typically generate more revenue than do smaller accounts or clients and certain of PGIM’s strategies have higher fees than others. As a result, a portfolio manager could have an incentive when allocating scarce investment opportunities to favor accounts that pay a higher fee or generate more income for PGIM (or which it believes would generate more revenue in the future).

 

  •  

Long Only and Long/Short Accounts - PGIM manages accounts that only allow it to hold securities long as well as accounts that permit short selling. As a result, there are times when PGIM sells a security short in some client accounts while holding the same security long in other client accounts. These short sales could reduce the value of the securities held in the long only accounts. Conversely, purchases for long only accounts could have a negative impact on the short positions in long/short accounts. Consequently, PGIM has conflicts of interest in determining the timing and direction of investments.

 

  •  

Securities of the Same Kind or Class - PGIM sometimes buys or sells, or directs or recommends that a client buy or sell, securities of the same kind or class that are purchased or sold for another client at prices that could be different. Although such pricing differences could appear as preferences for one client over another, PGIM’s trade execution in each case is driven by its consideration of a variety of factors consistent with its duty to seek best execution. There are times when PGIM executes trades in securities of the same kind or class in one direction for an account and in the opposite direction for another account, or it determines not to trade securities in one or more accounts while trading for others. While such trades (or a decision not to trade) could appear inconsistent in how PGIM views or treats a security for one client versus another, they generally result from differences in investment strategy, portfolio composition or client direction.

 

  •  

Investment at Different Levels of an Issuer’s Capital Structure - There are times when PGIM invests client assets in the same issuer, but at different levels in the issuer’s capital structure. This could occur, for instance, when a client holds private securities or loans of an issuer and other clients hold publicly traded securities of the same issuer or where investors receive substitute securities in a reorganization or corporate action. This could also occur where different clients invest in different parts of a corporate structure (such as an issuer and its parent or subsidiary), in obligations secured by different collateral, or in separate investments made at different times in the same issuer. Additionally, PGIM could invest certain client assets in a class or tranche of securities of a securitized finance vehicle (such as a collateralized loan obligation, asset-backed security or mortgage-backed security) while simultaneously investing one or more clients in different classes or tranches of securities within the same vehicle. These different securities can have varying voting rights, dividend or repayment priorities, rights in bankruptcy, or other features that conflict with one another. In some cases - particularly with private securitized products and asset-based finance investments where clients own all or a significant portion of the outstanding securities or obligations - PGIM has input regarding the characteristics and the relative rights and priorities of the various classes or tranches.

When PGIM invests client assets in different levels of an issuer’s capital structure, it is permitted to take actions with respect to the assets held by one client (including affiliated clients) that are potentially adverse to other clients, for example, by foreclosing on loans or by putting an issuer into default or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. Conflicts can arise both at the time an investment is made and over the life of the investment, including where PGIM makes follow-on or additional investments in an issuer, or structures a new investment, with awareness of existing investments held by other clients or affiliated accounts. In negotiating the terms and conditions of an investment, or any subsequent amendments, actions, or waivers, PGIM could find that the interests of a client and the interests of one or more other clients (including affiliated clients) could conflict, including where an investment is structured and the proceeds are used, in whole or in part, to pay down or refinance existing positions in the same issuer held by other clients or affiliated accounts. In addition, decisions over


consent solicitation, corporate reorganizations, how to exit an investment, bankruptcy matters (including, for example, whether to trigger an event of default, involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, or the terms of any workout) or other actions or inactions can result in conflicts of interest. Similarly, if an issuer in which a client and one or more other clients directly or indirectly hold different classes of securities encounters financial problems, decisions over the terms of any workout will raise conflicts of interest (including potential conflicts over proposed waivers and amendments to debt covenants). For example, a senior bond holder or lender might prefer a liquidation of the issuer in which it could be paid in full, whereas an equity or junior bond holder might prefer a reorganization that holds the potential to create value for the equity holders or junior bond holders.

There will be times when PGIM refrains from taking certain actions (including participating in workouts and restructurings) or making investments on behalf of certain clients or where PGIM determines to sell investments for certain clients, in each case in order to mitigate conflicts of interest or legal, regulatory or other risks to PGIM. This could potentially disadvantage the clients on whose behalf the actions are not taken, investments are not made, or investments are sold. Conversely, in other cases, PGIM will not refrain from taking such actions or making investments on behalf of some clients (including affiliated clients), which could potentially disadvantage other clients. Any of the foregoing (or similar) conflicts of interest will be resolved or managed on a case-by-case basis (including, where determined to be required, by escalating matters to, and seeking direction and guidance from, senior management). Any such resolution will take into consideration the interests of the relevant clients, the circumstances giving rise to the conflict and applicable laws.

 

  •  

Financial Interests of Investment Professionals - PGIM investment professionals from time to time invest in certain investment vehicles that it manages, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, private funds and (through a retirement plan) collective investment trusts. Certain of these investment vehicles are options under the 401(k) and deferred compensation plans offered by Prudential Financial. In addition, the value of grants under PGIM’s long-term incentive plan and targeted long-term incentive plan are affected by the performance of certain client accounts. As a result, PGIM investment professionals have financial interests in accounts managed by PGIM and/or that are related to the performance of certain client accounts.

 

  •  

Firm-Provided Financing and Forgivable Loan Arrangements: From time to time, PGIM provides financing to certain investment professionals to facilitate their participation in private funds that PGIM manages, including through forgivable loan arrangements that constitute additional compensation. These arrangements could reduce the personal capital at risk for such professionals and therefore incentivize them to accept greater investment risk or to favor these funds in investment or product recommendations. Any credit, repayment, or loss risk associated with such financings is borne by PGIM and does not impact the assets, performance, or returns of any client account or fund.

 

  •  

Non-Discretionary/Limited Discretion Accounts - PGIM provides non-discretionary and limited discretion investment advice to some clients and manages others on a fully discretionary basis. Trades in non-discretionary accounts or accounts where discretion is limited could occur before, in concert with, or after PGIM executes similar trades in its discretionary accounts. The non-discretionary/limited discretion clients can be disadvantaged if PGIM delivers investment advice to them after it initiates trading for the discretionary clients, or vice versa. Furthermore, a non-discretionary/limited discretion client might not be able to participate in trades if there is a delay in receiving such client’s direction or consent. In some cases, when such a client requests additional information prior to giving its direction or consent, PGIM is prohibited from sharing information because, for example, the information is non-public.


  •  

Co-Investments - From time to time, PGIM offers certain entities (“Co-Investors”) co-investment opportunities, in which these Co-Investors will be offered the opportunity to participate directly in certain investments that PGIM is making for its clients (including funds that it manages). Co-investment opportunities may be offered to current clients, investors in PGIM funds or other third parties. Except to the extent a client or investor has entered into an agreement pursuant to which PGIM has granted such client or investor a right with respect to co-investment opportunities, clients and investors should be aware that they have no such right and should not expect that they will be offered any co-investment opportunities.

Generally, PGIM’s decision to grant co-investment rights will be based on the expectation of a commercial benefit to PGIM from a potential Co-Investor, such as increased management fees or other compensation resulting from a continued, increased or future investment in funds or accounts PGIM manages by such potential Co-Investor. Other factors PGIM considers in deciding whether or not to grant co-investment rights include: (i) whether a potential Co-Investor has demonstrated, or has the potential to demonstrate, a long-term and/or continuing commitment to the potential success of PGIM or its products; (ii) their assessment of a potential Co-Investor’s ability to timely execute and fund co-investment opportunities; (iii) whether a potential Co-Investor has a history of successfully participating in co-investment programs; and (iv) the overall strategic value to PGIM of offering a co-investment opportunity to such potential Co-Investor.

PGIM has the ability to grant co-investment opportunities to Co-Investors on terms and conditions that are more favorable than those offered to its other clients and investors. For example, such terms could include:

Management fees and/or incentive compensation (including carried interest) that are reduced or waived;

Rights to participate in follow-on investments; and

With respect to investments held by Co-investors, rights to be notified of sales of the same or similar investments by their other clients and rights to participate alongside such clients in the sale of investments held by Co-investors.

Co-investment opportunities will be offered to Co-Investors irrespective of whether the available investment opportunity exceeds the aggregate appetite of PGIM’s other client accounts for such investment. Accordingly, the participation of a Co-Investor will, under some circumstances, reduce the amount of the investment opportunity available to PGIM’s other clients. This presents a conflict of interest in allocating investment opportunities because PGIM can be considered to have the incentive to allocate a greater portion of an investment opportunity to a Co-Investor than it otherwise would because of the potential commercial benefit to them from the co-investment relationship.

Transactions Involving Affiliates - Certain client accounts, from time to time, engage in transactions with PGIM’s affiliates. These transactions include purchasing investments from or through affiliated entities, investing alongside affiliates in certain investments (such as co-lending transactions), or investing in entities in which affiliates hold interests. In all such cases, PGIM will comply with applicable fiduciary and legal requirements, including, where applicable, making a good-faith determination that such transactions are conducted on terms and conditions consistent with those available from an unaffiliated third party in an arm’s-length transaction.

For certain transactions, such as participations in promissory notes held by Prudential Financial affiliates (including the general account of insurance company affiliates), the terms will be established in a manner designed to ensure that the investor is treated fairly, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances and the commercial understanding of the parties.


Reliance on Affiliates for Critical Information - For certain accounts and/or funds, PGIM relies on affiliated entities for important information, including asset valuations, accounting information, and risk metrics. Differences in methodologies, judgments, or opinions among PGIM, its affiliates, and its clients could affect portfolio management decisions and reporting and give rise to potential conflicts of interest.

Side Letters - PGIM has entered into side letters with respect to certain of the private funds that it manages, and might do so with respect to funds that it manages in the future. Such side letters grant such investors (including affiliated accounts) terms and conditions more advantageous than those granted to other investors. For example, some investors have side letters with “most favored nation” (MFN) provisions granting reduced fees or expenses, or access to more frequent or detailed information regarding the fund’s investments. PGIM could have multiple side letters with respect to a single fund, each with a different investor. PGIM, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a client meets the necessary criteria and characterization to elect terms or rights under any such MFN provision. Except as otherwise agreed with a client, PGIM is not required to disclose the terms of its side letters with other investors or clients.

Hedging – PGIM sometimes hedges a portion of the investments it manages for one client while not hedging a similar investment in the same issuer for another client. Consequently, the two similar investments (inclusive of the hedge) might have different economic values as a result of the hedge which could influence PGIM’s management of the investments, including the timing of the disposition of the investments.

How PGIM Addresses These Conflicts of Interest.

PGIM has established policies and procedures to address conflicts of interest that can arise from managing different types of client accounts. PGIM’s approach includes regular oversight, trade allocation reviews, and compliance monitoring to detect and manage potential conflicts. As part of this process, PGIM’s compliance group periodically conducts supervisory reviews of new issue allocations and related documentation to confirm adherence to PGIM policies. Additionally, PGIM utilizes committees or independent reviewers for certain funds to help resolve issues transparently and in the best interests of all clients. PGIM’s primary objective is to act in good faith and fulfill its fiduciary duties, making investment decisions independently and for the benefit of each client.

Conflicts Related to PGIM’s Affiliations. As an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, PGIM, Inc. and PGIM Limited are part of a diversified, global financial services organization. PGIM is affiliated with many types of U.S. and non-U.S. financial service providers, including insurance companies, broker-dealers, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators and other investment advisers. In addition, certain PGIM employees are officers of and/or provide services to some of these affiliates.

 

  •  

Conflicts Related to Investment of Client Assets in Affiliated Funds. PGIM invests client assets in funds and other products that it or its affiliates manage or sub-advise, which, if applicable, include collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) or similar vehicles. In these situations, PGIM could be considered to have a financial incentive to favor affiliated funds or products over those managed by unaffiliated parties. Investments in such affiliated vehicles can benefit PGIM and/or its affiliates by increasing assets under management and fees PGIM or its affiliates receive. Additionally, PGIM or its affiliates, in certain instances, have authority to take actions on behalf of client accounts that could result in additional fees being paid to PGIM or its affiliates. For example, actions taken with respect to CLOs—including decisions regarding restructuring or resetting such vehicles—create circumstances where fees are


 

earned for an extended period. In some cases, clients hold significant interests in these vehicles, which could provide PGIM or its affiliates with the ability to influence decisions that could result in additional fees. While PGIM may offset, rebate, or otherwise reduce its fees for investments in affiliated funds or products, these measures do not always eliminate the conflict, as PGIM still has incentives to favor affiliated options. Further, if PGIM’s affiliates provide initial funding to or otherwise invest in affiliated funds, PGIM could have an incentive to allocate client assets to such funds to facilitate the redemption of its affiliates’ interests. From time to time, PGIM also invests cash collateral from securities lending in some affiliated vehicles.

 

  •  

Conflicts Related to Referral Fees to Affiliates. From time to time, PGIM has arrangements where PGIM compensates affiliated parties for client referrals. PGIM also has arrangements with an affiliated entity or person which provide for payments to an affiliate if certain investments by others are made in certain of PGIM’s products or if PGIM establishes certain other advisory relationships. These investments benefit both PGIM and its affiliates through increasing assets under management and fees.

 

  •  

Conflicts Related to Co-investment by Affiliates. PGIM affiliates provide initial funding to or otherwise invest in certain vehicles it manages. When certain of its affiliates provide “seed capital” or other capital for a fund, they generally do so with the intention of redeeming all or part of their interest at a future point in time or when they deem that sufficient additional capital has been invested in that fund.

 

  o

The timing of a redemption by an affiliate could benefit the affiliate. For example, the fund could be more liquid at the time of the affiliate’s redemption than it is at times when other investors wish to withdraw all or part of their interests.

 

  o

In addition, a consequence of any withdrawal of a significant amount, including by an affiliate, is that investors remaining in the fund will bear a proportionately higher share of fund expenses following the redemption.

 

  o

PGIM could also face a conflict if the interests of an affiliated investor in a fund it manages diverge from those of the fund or other investors. For example, PGIM affiliates, from time to time, hedge some or all of the risks associated with their investments in certain funds PGIM manages. In certain instances, PGIM provides assistance in connection with this hedging activity.

 

  •  

Insurance Affiliate General Accounts. Because of the substantial size of the general accounts of PGIM’s affiliated insurance companies (the “Insurance Affiliates”), trading by these general accounts, including PGIM’s trades on behalf of the accounts, may affect the market prices or limit the availability of the securities or instruments transacted. Although PGIM does not expect that the general accounts of affiliated insurers will execute transactions that will move a market frequently, and generally only in response to unusual market or issuer events, the execution of these transactions could have an adverse effect on transactions for or positions held by other clients.

Conflicts Related to Financial Interests and the Financial Interests of Affiliates

Prudential Financial, the general accounts of the Insurance Affiliates, PGIM and other affiliates of PGIM at times have financial interests in, or with, companies whose securities or related instruments PGIM holds, purchases or sells in its client accounts. Certain of these interests and relationships are material to PGIM or to the Prudential Financial enterprise. At any time, these interests and relationships could be inconsistent or in conflict with positions held or actions taken by PGIM on behalf of its client accounts. For example:


  •  

PGIM invests in the securities of one or more clients for the accounts of other clients.

 

  •  

PGIM’s affiliates sell various products and/or services to certain companies whose securities PGIM purchases and sells for its clients.

 

  •  

PGIM invests in the debt securities of companies whose equity is held by affiliates.

PGIM’s affiliates hold public and private debt and equity securities of a large number of issuers. PGIM invests in some of the same issuers for its client accounts. For example:

 

  •  

Affiliated accounts have held and can in the future hold the senior debt of an issuer whose subordinated debt is held by PGIM’s clients or hold secured debt of an issuer whose public unsecured debt is held in client accounts. See “Investment at Different Levels of an Issuer’s Capital Structure” above for additional information regarding conflicts of interest resulting from investment at different levels of an issuer’s capital structure.

 

  •  

To the extent permitted by applicable law, PGIM can also invest client assets in offerings of securities the proceeds of which are used to repay debt obligations held in affiliated accounts or other client accounts. PGIM’s interest in having the debt repaid creates a conflict of interest. PGIM has adopted a refinancing policy to address this conflict.

 

  •  

Certain of PGIM’s affiliates’ directors or officers are directors or officers of issuers in which PGIM invests from time to time. These issuers could also be service providers to PGIM or its affiliates.

 

  •  

In addition, PGIM can invest client assets in securities backed by commercial mortgage loans that were originated or are serviced by an affiliate.

In general, conflicts related to the financial interests described above are addressed by the fact that PGIM makes investment decisions for each client independently considering the best economic interests of such client, under the circumstances.

Conflicts Arising Out of Legal and Regulatory Restrictions.

 

  •  

At times, PGIM is restricted by law, regulation, executive order, contract or other constraints as to how much, if any, of a particular security it can purchase or sell on behalf of a client, and as to the timing of such purchase or sale. Sometimes these restrictions apply as a result of its relationship with Prudential Financial and other affiliates. For example, PGIM does not purchase securities issued by Prudential Financial for client accounts.

 

  •  

In certain instances, PGIM’s ability to buy or sell or transact for one or more client accounts will be constrained as a result of its voluntary or involuntary receipt of material non-public information (“MNPI”), various insider trading laws and related legal requirements. For example, PGIM would generally be unable to invest in, divest securities of or share investment analyses regarding companies or other securities issuers for which it possesses MNPI, and such inability (which could last for an uncertain period of time until the information is no longer deemed material or non-public) can result in it being unable to buy, sell or transact for one or more client accounts or to take other actions that would otherwise be to the benefit of one or more clients.

 

  •  

PGIM faces conflicts of interest in determining whether to accept MNPI. For example, PGIM has sought with respect to the management of investments in certain loans for clients, to retain the ability to purchase and sell other securities in the borrower’s capital structure by remaining “public” on the loan. In such cases, PGIM will seek to avoid receiving MNPI about the borrowers to which an account can or expects to lend or has lent (through assignments, participations or otherwise), which could place an account at an information disadvantage relative to other accounts


 

and lenders. Conversely, PGIM has chosen to receive MNPI about certain borrowers/issuers for its clients that invest in bank loans, securities, or private debt instruments, which has restricted its ability to trade in other securities of the borrowers/issuers for its clients that invest in corporate bonds or other public securities. In addition, as a result of PGIM’s integrated business structure and its work with affiliated entities, including interactions among investment groups within PGIM, it might from time to time become exposed to MNPI in connection with advisory or related activities conducted for or alongside affiliates.

 

  •  

PGIM’s holdings of a security on behalf of its clients are required, under certain regulations, to be aggregated with the holdings of that security by other Prudential Financial affiliates. These holdings could, on an aggregate basis, exceed certain reporting or ownership thresholds. These aggregated holdings are centrally tracked and PGIM or Prudential Financial can choose to restrict purchases, sell existing positions, or otherwise restrict, forgo, or limit the exercise of rights to avoid crossing such thresholds because of the potential consequences to PGIM or Prudential Financial if such thresholds are exceeded. In some cases, these restrictions or sales could have an adverse impact on client account performance or PGIM’s ability to exercise certain rights typically associated with an investment.

 

  •  

Legal and regulatory constraints could limit certain client accounts from participating in specific investment transactions with others. Consequently, PGIM might allocate these opportunities in a manner that excludes some accounts, even if they could benefit.

 

  •  

PGIM advises a range of clients, including closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or regulated as business development companies (“PGIM Regulated Funds”). When PGIM identifies an investment opportunity that aligns with the objectives of multiple clients—including PGIM Regulated Funds and other PGIM Credit clients—it may seek to have these clients invest together. However, the Investment Company Act and related SEC rules place strict limitations on “joint transactions”—that is, situations where two or more affiliated entities invest together and negotiate terms beyond price—which are generally prohibited unless the SEC grants an exemptive order. PGIM has obtained such an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Co-Investment Order”). This order allows PGIM to coordinate co-investments among certain PGIM Regulated Funds and other clients under specific conditions. Despite this exemption, regulatory requirements can still limit PGIM’s flexibility. For example, PGIM cannot always allocate investments in different parts of a company’s capital structure among all interested clients, and certain clients may be excluded from specific investments. Compliance with the Co-Investment Order can also reduce individual allocations or delay investment execution. PGIM has established policies and controls to address these regulatory requirements, but it cannot eliminate all limitations or conflicts. The Co-Investment Order does not guarantee that every client will be able to participate in each opportunity or that investments will always be successful. In practice, allocating opportunities among a broader group of clients may reduce individual allocations and slow the investment process.

Conflicts Related to Investment Consultants. Many of PGIM’s clients and prospective clients retain investment consultants (including discretionary investment managers and OCIO providers) to advise them on the selection and review of investment managers (including with respect to the selection of investment funds). PGIM has dealings with these investment consultants in their roles as discretionary managers or non-discretionary advisers to their clients. PGIM also has independent business relationships with investment consultants.

PGIM provides investment consultants with information about accounts that it manages for the consultant’s clients (and similarly, PGIM provides information about funds in which such clients are invested), in each case pursuant to authorization from the clients. PGIM also provides information regarding its investment strategies to investment consultants, who use that


information in connection with searches that they conduct for their clients. PGIM often responds to requests for proposals in connection with those searches.

Other interactions PGIM has with investment consultants include the following:

 

  •  

it provides advisory services to the proprietary accounts of investment consultants and/or their affiliates, and advisory services to funds offered by investment consultants and/or their affiliates;

 

  •  

it invites investment consultants to events or other entertainment hosted by PGIM;

 

  •  

it purchases software applications, market data, access to databases, technology services and other products or services from certain investment consultants; and

 

  •  

it sometimes pays for the opportunity to participate in conferences organized by investment consultants.

PGIM will provide clients with information about its relationship with the client’s investment consultant upon request. In general, PGIM relies on the investment consultant to make the appropriate disclosure to its clients of any conflict that the investment consultant believes to exist due to its business relationships with PGIM.

A client’s relationship with an investment consultant could result in restrictions in the eligible securities or trading counterparties for the client’s account. For example, accounts of certain clients (including clients that are subject to ERISA) can be restricted from investing in securities issued by the client’s consultant or its affiliates and from trading with, or participating in transactions involving, counterparties that are affiliated with the investment consultant. In some cases, these restrictions could have a material impact on account performance.

Conflicts Related to Service Providers. PGIM retains third party advisors and other service providers to provide various services for PGIM as well as for funds that PGIM manages or sub-advises. Some service providers provide services to PGIM Credit or one of its funds while also providing services to other PGIM or PGIM Limited units, other PGIM or PGIM Limited advised funds, or affiliates of PGIM or PGIM Limited, and negotiate rates in the context of the overall relationship. PGIM can benefit from negotiated fee rates offered to its funds and vice versa. There is no assurance, however, that PGIM will be able to obtain or maintain advantageous fee rates from a given service provider negotiated by its affiliates based on their relationship with the service provider, or that PGIM will know of such negotiated fee rates.

Conflicts Related to Valuation and Fees.

When client accounts hold illiquid or difficult to value investments, PGIM faces a conflict of interest when it makes recommendations regarding the value of such investments since its fees are generally based on the value of assets under management. PGIM could be viewed as having an incentive to provide higher valuations. PGIM has valuation policies and procedures that it believes mitigate this conflict effectively and enable it to value client assets fairly and in a manner that is consistent with the client’s best interests. This conflict generally does not exist and is further mitigated or eliminated in circumstances where fees are calculated from custodian and/or administrator pricing and not PGIM’s internal valuations.

Conflicts Related to Securities Lending and Reverse Repurchase Fees.

In certain cases, when PGIM manages a client account and serves as securities lending agent and/or engage in reverse repurchase transactions for the account, PGIM is compensated for its securities lending and reverse repurchase services by


receiving a portion of the proceeds generated from the securities lending and reverse repurchase activities of the account. In cases where PGIM is compensated in this manner, it could be considered to have an incentive to invest in securities that would generate higher securities lending and reverse repurchase returns, even if these investments were not otherwise in the best interest of the client account. In addition, if PGIM is acting as securities lending agent and providing reverse repurchase services for the same client, PGIM has an incentive to select the option that generates higher proceeds for itself.

Conflicts Related to Long Term Compensation. As a result of the long term incentive plan, targeted long term incentive plan, carried interest arrangements, and equity based compensation awards, PGIM’s portfolio managers and other investment professionals from time to time have financial interests related to the investment performance of some, but not all, of the accounts or investment vehicles they manage. For example, the performance of some client accounts is not reflected in the calculation of changes in the value of participation interests under PGIM’s long term incentive plan. This may be because the composite representing the strategy in which the account is managed is not one of the composites included in the calculation or because the account is excluded from a specified composite due to guideline restrictions or other factors. In addition, the performance of only a limited number of its investment strategies is covered under PGIM’s targeted long term incentive plan. Further, for certain PGIM investment professionals, participation interests in the targeted long term incentive plan or carried interest arrangements can constitute a significant percentage of their total long term compensation. These compensation arrangements could create potential conflicts of interest by providing investment professionals with an economic incentive to favor certain strategies, investment vehicles, or accounts over others. To address these potential conflicts, PGIM has procedures, including trade allocation procedures, designed to confirm that each of its client accounts is managed in a manner that is consistent with PGIM’s fiduciary obligations, as well as with the account’s investment objectives, investment strategies, and restrictions.

Conflicts Related to the Offer and Sale of Securities. Certain of PGIM’s employees offer and sell securities of, and interests in, commingled funds that it manages. Employees offer and sell securities in connection with their roles as registered representatives of an affiliated broker-dealer, officers of an affiliated trust company, agents of the Insurance Affiliates, approved persons of an affiliated investment adviser or other roles related to such commingled funds. There could be an incentive for PGIM’s employees to offer these securities to investors regardless of whether the investment is appropriate for such investor since increased assets in these vehicles will result in increased advisory fees to it. In addition, such sales could result in increased compensation to the employee.

Conflicts Related to Employee/Investment Professional Trading. Personal trading by PGIM employees creates a conflict when they are trading the same securities or types of securities as PGIM trades on behalf of its clients. This conflict is mitigated by PGIM’s personal trading standards and procedures.

Conflicts Related to Outside Business Activity. From time to time, certain of PGIM employees or officers engage in outside business activity, including outside directorships. Any outside business activity is subject to prior approval pursuant to PGIM’s personal conflicts of interest and outside business activities policy, and may be restricted or denied if conflicts cannot be managed. Actual and potential conflicts of interest are analyzed during such approval process. PGIM could be restricted from trading the securities of certain issuers in client portfolios in the unlikely event that an employee or officer, as a result of outside business activities, obtains material, non-public information regarding an issuer.
