(collectively “Underlying Funds”) and
direct investments by the Fund's subadvisers. Investments in Underlying Funds will be included in the applicable market segment based on the primary investment focus of the Underlying Funds.
QMA LLC (QMA), one of the
Fund’s subadvisers, tactically allocates the Fund's assets among the different sub-classes within equity and equity-related securities and fixed income investments. Asset allocation decisions will be determined
using a combination of quantitative tools and the judgment of QMA's investment professionals. To the extent consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, QMA’s asset allocation also may tactically
invest up to 10% of the Fund’s total assets in a variety of ETFs, futures and swaps in new or current sub-classes within equities and fixed income investments (the “10% allocation”).
Equity and Equity-Related
Securities. QMA and Jennison Associates LLC serve as the subadvisers for the Fund’s equity and equity-related investments. The Fund's equity and equity-related securities include common stock,
securities convertible or exchangeable for common stock or the cash value of such common stock, structured notes, preferred securities, warrants and rights, Underlying PGIM Funds, ETFs, investments in various types of
business ventures including partnerships and joint ventures and business development companies, real estate securities, securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and income and royalty trusts, American
Depositary Receipts and other similar securities issued by US or foreign companies of any market capitalization. The Fund may invest in securities issued in an initial public offering (IPO). The Fund may also gain
exposure to master limited partnerships by investing in Underlying Funds.
Fixed Income Investments. The Fund gains exposure to fixed income investments through investments in Underlying Funds.
Principal Risks
All investments have risks to some
degree. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time.
You may lose part or all of your
investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments.
An investment in the Fund is not
guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; and is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The following is a
summary description of principal risks of investing in the Fund. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.
Set forth below is a description of
the principal risks associated with an investment in the Fund either through direct investments or indirectly through the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds.
Affiliated Funds Risk. The Fund's manager serves as the manager of the Underlying PGIM Funds. It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and the Underlying Funds could impact the manager and
subadvisers. Because the amount of the investment management fees to be retained by the manager and the subadvisers may differ depending upon the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests, there is a conflict of
interest for the manager and the subadvisers in selecting the Underlying Funds. In addition, the manager and the subadvisers may have an incentive to take into account the effect on an Underlying Fund in which the
Fund may invest in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in that Underlying Fund. Although the manager and the subadvisers take steps to address the conflicts of interest, it is
possible that the conflicts could impact the Fund. In addition, the subadvisers may invest in Underlying Funds that have a limited or no performance history.
Asset Allocation Risk. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the Fund’s assets may be allocated to an asset class that underperforms other asset classes. For example, the Fund may be overweight in equities
when the stock market is falling and the fixed income market is rising. Likewise, the Fund may be overweight in fixed income securities when fixed income markets are falling and the equity markets are rising.
Allocations to underperforming or volatile asset classes or other changes in asset allocations could lead to increased volatility in the Fund’s portfolio.
Asset Class Variation Risk. The Underlying Funds invest principally in the securities constituting their asset class (e.g., domestic or international real estate, utilities, infrastructure, natural resources, MLPs
and various types of fixed income investments). However, under normal market conditions, an Underlying Fund may vary the percentage of its assets in these securities (subject to any applicable regulatory
requirements). Depending upon the percentage of securities in a particular asset class held by the Underlying Funds at any given time and the percentage of the Fund’s assets invested in the Underlying Funds, the
Fund’s actual exposure to the securities in a particular asset class may vary substantially from its allocation to that asset class.
Economic and Market Events Risk. Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the US Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth or the functioning of
the securities markets, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Relatively reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect
issuers worldwide.
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of non-US investments are greater for investments in 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.
