PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund 5

Strategy and Performance Overview

How did the Fund perform?

The PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund shares returned –0.71% based on market price and 0.69% based on net asset value (NAV) during the two-month period from the Fund’s inception on November 25, 2020 until January 31, 2021. For the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays US 1-5 Year High Yield Ba/B 1% Issuer Constrained Index (the Index) returned 1.69%, including reinvestment of dividends.*

What were the market conditions?

U.S. high yield bonds continued to rally in December and January as investors responded to unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus programs, improving economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings, and the initial rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines. Investors appeared to look past rising virus cases and mounting hospitalizations, betting that fiscal and monetary support would continue to bolster the U.S. economy and provide stability to the financial markets. The passage of new fiscal stimulus in the U.S. toward the end of the period also boosted sentiment. Meanwhile, heavy inflows into high yield funds, attractive valuations, and a global search for yield provided a strong technical backdrop despite heavy new issuance.

While flows into high yield bond mutual funds turned negative over the prior two months, net inflows totaled a record $44 billion in full-year 2020. By quality, lower-quality (CCC-rated) credits outperformed their higher-quality (BB-rated and B-rated) peers during the two-month period.

Spreads on the short duration, higher quality portion of the high yield market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US High Yield Ba/B 1-5 year (1% constrained) Index, tightened 25 bps over the period to 353 bps (One basis point equals 0.01%).

The high yield primary market remained active over the period as issuers continued to take advantage of the low yield environment to push out maturities and lower their cost of capital. Following a record $450 billion of issuance in 2020, high yield issuance totaled $55.7 billion in January 2021—the most active January on record in terms of gross issuance.

What worked?

• Security selection in the aerospace & defense, cable & satellite, and midstream energy industries contributed positively to the Fund’s returns.

• In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights (relative to the Index) in Occidental Petroleum Corporation (upstream energy) and Bombardier Inc. (aerospace & defense), along with an underweight (relative to the Index) to Royal Caribbean Cruises (gaming/lodging/leisure), contributed to performance.

* Since Inception returns for the Index are measured from the closest month-end to the Funds’ inception date.

6 Visit our website at pgim.com/investments

• In sector allocation, an overweight to chemicals, along with underweights to the consumer non-cyclical and paper & packaging industries (relative to the Index), helped performance.

What didn’t work?

• Overall security selection detracted from performance, with positioning within the media & entertainment, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, metals & mining, and retailers & restaurants industries detracting from the Fund’s results.

• In individual security selection, the Fund’s underweight (relative to the Index) to upstream energy issuers QEP Resources Inc. and Precision Drilling Corporation, along with an overweight (relative to the Index) to Sprint Communications (telecom), detracted from performance.

• Overall sector allocation hurt performance, with an overweight to the cable & satellite industry and an underweight to the upstream energy industry (relative to the Index) the largest detractors.

• Having less beta in the portfolio on average over the period than the Index detracted from performance.

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

The Fund was incepted on November 25, 2020, after which it started to invest the proceeds from its initial public offering and began to slowly use leverage during the period. The Fund’s use of leverage contributed positively to NAV performance and shareholder distributions, as both the returns and income earned on the securities purchased exceeded the cost of borrowing. As of January 31, 2021, the Fund had borrowed $71 million and was about 12.6% leveraged. During the reporting period, the average amount of leverage utilized by the Fund was about 2.8%.

Did the Fund use derivatives?

The Fund did not use derivatives during the reporting period.

Current outlook

PGIM Fixed Income remains constructive on high yield bonds given the enormous monetary and fiscal responses seen to date, with optimism around the vaccines, an ongoing search for yield, a decline in defaults, an increase in M&A activity, and a market that is of higher quality than before the crisis among the factors expected to drive spread compression going forward. Although further lockdowns may suppress high yield spread compression over the near term, PGIM Fixed Income continues to expect spreads to tighten over the medium term.

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund 7

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

In terms of positioning, PGIM Fixed Income believes BB-rated bonds are attractive on a relative-value basis and are less susceptible to a second virus-related shutdown.

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund     29

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited)

1. Organization

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as a Maryland statutory trust on May 18, 2020.

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide total return, through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

2. Accounting Policies

The Fund follows 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 Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Fund consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: The Fund holds 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 Fund’s investments are valued daily based on a number of factors, including the type of investment and whether market quotations are readily available. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’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 Fund 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. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review at its first quarterly meeting following the quarter in which such actions take place.

For the fiscal reporting period-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some

30

of the Fund’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell Fund shares.

Various inputs determine how the Fund’s 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 Measurements and Disclosures.

Investments in open-end funds (other than exchange-traded funds) 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 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 Fund utilizes 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.

Bank 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. Bank loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Bank 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.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.

When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund    31

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited) (continued)

comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager 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.

Bank Loans: The Fund invested in bank loans. Bank loans include fixed and floating rate 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 bank loan market. The Fund acquires 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 bank loan assignment, the Fund generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a bank loan participation, the Fund generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Fund generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Fund.

Payment-In-Kind: The Fund 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 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.

Offering Fees: PGIM Investments has agreed to pay all of the Fund’s Organizational and Offering Costs associated with this offering. The Fund is not obligated to repay any such organizational expenses or offering costs paid by the Manager.

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 Fund becomes 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.

32

Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned. 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. The Fund will pay approximately $60,000 of Federal excise taxes attributable to calendar year 2020 in March 2021.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund intends to make a level dividend distribution each month to the common shareholders. The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time, and will be based upon the past and projected performance and expenses of the Fund. If necessary, the Fund intends 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.

PGIM Investments has received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granting 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 common shareholders more frequently than would otherwise be permitted by the 1940 Act (generally once per taxable year). The Fund intends to rely on this exemptive order. The Board may, at the request of PGIM Investments, adopt a managed distribution policy in the future.

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

The Fund has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund    33

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited) (continued)

Fund through its business unit PGIM Fixed Income, and PGIM Limited (each a “subadviser” and collectively the “subadvisers”).

For its services, the Fund pays PGIM Investments a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Investable Assets. 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. For purposes of this calculation, average daily value of the Fund’s Investable Assets is determined at the end of each month on the basis of the average value of the Fund’s Investable Assets of the Fund for each day during the month.

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

4. Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Fund’s investments in the mentioned underlying fund, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

The Fund may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2021, no 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Fund.

34

5. Portfolio Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the reporting period ended January 31, 2021, were $602,922,502 and $31,958,693, respectively.

A summary of the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of shares of an affiliated investment for the reporting period ended January 31, 2021, is presented as follows:

Value, Beginning of Period	Cost of  Purchases		Proceeds  from Sales		Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss)	Realized Gain (Loss)	Value, End of     Period		Shares, End of   Period		Income

Tax Basis	$	592,731,367
Gross Unrealized Appreciation		2,462,451
Gross Unrealized Depreciation		(1,264,183	)
Net Unrealized Appreciation	$	1,198,268

The GAAP basis may differ from tax basis due to certain tax-related adjustments.

The Manager has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

7. Capital and Ownership

The Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.001 par value common shares. As of January 31, 2021, Prudential owned 5,000 shares of the Fund.

For the reporting period ended January 31, 2021, the Fund did not issue any shares of common shares in connection with the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.

8. Borrowings and Re-hypothecation

The Fund has entered into a committed credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia (the “Financial Institution”), pursuant to which the Fund may

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited) (continued)

borrow up to a maximum commitment amount of $250 million. The Fund is subject to certain asset coverage requirements under the Credit Facility and under the 1940 Act. The Fund will pay interest in the amount of 0.75% plus the 1-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) 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 and Miscellaneous expense, respectively. The Fund’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Fund 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 Fund with portfolio leverage and to meet its general cash flow requirements. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements or maintain other financial covenants required under the Credit Facility, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding.

The Fund utilized the credit facility during the reporting period ended January 31, 2021. The average daily outstanding loan balance for the 39 days that the Fund utilized the facility during the period was $28,051,282, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 0.83%. The maximum loan balance outstanding during the period was $71,000,000. At January 31, 2021, the Fund had an outstanding loan balance of $71,000,000.

Re-hypothecation: The credit facility permits, subject to certain conditions, the Financial Institution to re-hypothecate, a portion of the portfolio securities segregated by the Fund as collateral. The Fund continues to receive interest on re-hypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the agreement to recall the re-hypothecated securities from the Financial Institution on demand. If the Financial Institution fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by the Financial Institution for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by the Financial Institution, the Fund, upon notice to the Financial Institution, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the value of the recalled security failed to be returned plus accrued interest. The Fund will receive a portion of the fees earned by the Financial Institution in connection with the re-hypothecation of portfolio securities which reduces the interest expense on borrowings. Such earnings are disclosed in the Statement of Operations under Interest income. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2021, the Financial Institution re-hypothecated certain portfolio securities segregated as collateral by the Fund.

9. Risks of Investing in the Fund

The Fund’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below.

36

Bond Obligations Risk: As with credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk, the Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may 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 lose income.

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 longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.

Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund will depend on the subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivative transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” 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 OTC derivative instruments lack liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. OTC derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund.

Foreign Securities Risk: The Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. The securities of such issuers may trade in markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.

General, Market and Economic Risks: Investing in the Fund involves certain risks and the Fund may not be able to achieve its intended results for a variety of reasons, including, among others, the possibility that the Fund may not be able to successfully implement its investment strategy because of market, economic, regulatory, geopolitical and other conditions (including those associated with the recent pandemic outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19”)). International wars or conflicts and geopolitical developments in foreign countries, along with instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, possible terrorist attacks in the United States or around the world, public health epidemics and pandemics such as the outbreak of infectious diseases like the recent

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund    37

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited) (continued)

outbreak of COVID-19 globally or the 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa of the Ebola virus, and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets, including increases in market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets and government intervention, and may cause further long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide generally. Relatively reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide. U.S. and foreign governments have taken a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. The impact of these measures, as well as any additional future regulatory actions, is not yet known and cannot be predicted. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the Fund itself is regulated and could limit or preclude the Fund’s ability to achieve it investment objective. The current domestic political environment, as well as political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as presidential elections in the U.S. or abroad or the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, has in the past resulted, and may in the future result, in a government shutdown or otherwise adversely affect the U.S. regulatory landscape, the general market environment and/or investor sentiment, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s investments and operations. Additional and/or prolonged U.S. federal government shutdowns may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Because the market price of the Common Shares will fluctuate, there is a risk that you will lose money. Your investment will decline in value if, among other things, the market price of the Common Shares decreases. As with any security, a complete loss of your investment is possible.

Interest Rate Risk: The value of an 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. 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.” 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 face a heightened level of interest rate risk as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s rate-setting policies. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.

Investment and Market Risk: An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in Common Shares represents an indirect investment in the securities and other financial assets owned by the Fund. Securities held by the Fund are generally traded in over-the-counter markets. The value of these securities and financial assets, like other

38

market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. In addition, if the current global economic downturn continues or deteriorates further, the ability of issuers to service their obligations could be materially and adversely affected. The Common Shares that a shareholder purchases at any point in time may be worth less than their original cost, even after taking into account any reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Further, the value of securities held by the Fund may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries. Any such decrease in value could have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Fund anticipates using leverage, which will magnify this risk.

Junk Bonds Risks: High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to be less liquid 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 33¹⁄₃% (as determined immediately after borrowing) of the Fund’s investable assets. Leverage is a speculative technique that exposes the Fund to greater risk and higher costs than if it were not implemented. There can be no assurance that any leveraging strategy the Fund employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” which is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. Over the course of the last several years, global regulators have indicated an intent to phase out the use of LIBOR and similar interbank offering rates (IBOR). On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021. There still remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rates for LIBOR and the other IBORs as well as around fallback approaches for instruments extending beyond the any phase-out of these reference rates. The lack of consensus around replacement rates and the uncertainty of the phase out of LIBOR and other IBORs may result in increased volatility in corporate or governmental debt, bank loans, derivatives and other instruments invested in by a Fund as well as loan facilities used by a Fund. As such, the potential impact of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the financial instruments in which a Fund invests cannot yet be determined. The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or net asset

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund    39

Notes to Financial Statements   (unaudited) (continued)

value. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. Because the usefulness of LIBOR and the other IBORs as benchmarks could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could begin to be experienced by the end of 2021 and beyond until the anticipated discontinuance date in 2023 for the majority of the LIBOR rates.

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 investment 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.

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk: Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified geographically or by property/mortgage asset type, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are subject to interest rate risks. REITs may incur significant amounts of leverage. The Fund will indirectly bear a portion of the expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests, in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

REITs must also meet certain requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) to avoid entity level tax and be eligible to pass-through certain tax attributes of their income to shareholders. REITs are consequently subject to the risk of failing to meet these requirements for favorable tax treatment and of failing to maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940. REITs are subject to the risks of changes in the Code affecting their tax status.

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,

40

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.

Due to the nature of the private syndication of senior loans, including, for example, lack of publicly-available information, some senior loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded securities. In addition, loan participations generally are subject to restrictions on transfer, and only limited opportunities may exist to sell loan participations in secondary markets. As a result, it may be difficult for the Fund to value loans or sell loans at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In some instances, loans and loan participations are not rated by independent credit rating agencies; in such instances, a decision by the Fund to invest in a particular loan or loan participation could depend exclusively on the Subadviser’s credit analysis of the borrower, or in the case of a loan participation, of the intermediary holding the portion of the loan that the Fund has purchased. To the extent the Fund invests in loans of non-U.S. issuers, the risks of investing in non-U.S. issuers are applicable. Loans may not be considered to be “securities” and as a result may not benefit from the protections of the federal securities laws, including anti-fraud protections and those with respect to the use of material non-public information, so that purchasers, such as the Fund, may not have the benefit of these protections.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, which provides optional guidance for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and is effective on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

On December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it voted to adopt a new rule that establishes an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation practices (the “Rule”). The Rule, in part, provides (i) a framework for determining fair value in good faith and (ii) provides for a fund Board’s assignment of its responsibility for the execution of valuation-related activities to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Rule is scheduled to take effect on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Rule and its impact to the Fund.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Unless a holder of common stock elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common stock will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Fund’s Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common stock. The holders of common stock 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 stockholder of record (or, if the common stock is 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 holders of common stock and may re-invest that cash in additional common stock.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common stockholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common stockholder’s common stock is registered. Whenever the Fund declares a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common stock. The common stock 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 stock from the Fund (“Newly Issued common stock”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common stock on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price of the common stock plus per share fees (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the NAV per share of common stock (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued common stock on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued common stock to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per share of common stock on the payment date, provided that, if the NAV per share of common stock is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market price per share of common stock on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per common stock on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per share of common stock is greater than the closing market value per share of common stock plus per share fees (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in shares of common stock 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.

44

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 stock 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 stock acquired in Open-Market Purchases on behalf of participants. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per share of common stock exceeds the NAV per share of common stock, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator for common stock may exceed the NAV per share of the common stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares of common stock than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued common stock 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 stock at the NAV per share of common stock 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 share of common stock, 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 stockholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by stockholders for tax records. Common stock in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each stockholder 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 holders of common stock such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold shares of common stock for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares of common stock certified from time to time by the record stockholder’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 Fund. 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 share fee. If a participant elects to sell his or her shares of common stock, the Plan

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund 45

Other Information (unaudited) (continued)

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 shares of common stock issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. 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. See “Tax Matters.” Participants that request a sale of common stock through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

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 or distribution 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 shares of common stock and a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value of the Fund’s shares of common stock 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 shares of common stock 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 Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.

46

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233-5000, by calling (toll free) 800-451-6788 or through the Plan Administrator’s website www.computerhsare.com/investor.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

Initial Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required by the 1940 Act, the Board considered the proposed management agreement with PGIM Investments LLC (the Manager) and the proposed subadvisory agreement among the Manager, PGIM Fixed Income and PGIM Limited (together PFI, or the Subadviser) with respect to the Fund prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations. The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on October 9, 2020 (the Meeting) and approved the agreements for an initial two year period, after concluding that approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund.

In advance of the Meeting, 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 considerations.

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 to be provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Subadviser; any relevant comparable performance and the Subadviser’s qualifications and track record in serving other affiliated funds that utilize a high yield investment strategy; and the fees proposed to be paid by the Fund to the Manager and by the Manager to the Subadvisers under the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by the Manager and the Subadviser at or in advance of the Meeting. The Board also considered information provided by the Manager and the Subadviser with respect to other funds managed by the Manager and the Subadviser, as applicable. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Manager, which will serve as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between the Manager and the Subadviser, which will serve as the Fund’s Subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement, are appropriate in light of the services to be performed and the fees to be charged under the agreements and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

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

Nature, quality and extent of services

With respect to the Manager, the Board noted that it had received and considered information about the Manager at the Meeting, including information relating to the

approval of the management agreement for the other two PGIM Closed-End Funds and the renewal of the management agreements between the Manager and the PGIM Retail Funds, as well as at other regular meetings throughout the year of the PGIM Retail and Closed-End Funds, regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Manager. The Board considered the services to be provided by the Manager, including but not limited to the oversight of the Subadviser, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund. With respect to the Manager’s oversight of the Subadviser, the Board noted that the Manager’s Strategic Investment Research Group, which is a business unit of the Manager, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Manager’s senior management on the performance and operations of the Subadviser. The Board also noted that the Manager pays the salaries of all of the officers of the Fund and Trustees of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Manager or Subadviser. The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and the Subadviser, and was also provided with information pertaining to the Manager’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information. The Board further noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer with respect to the Manager. The Board noted that it had concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the other PGIM Closed-End and Retail Funds and determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Manager under the management agreement for the Fund would be similar in nature to those provided under the other management agreements.

With respect to the Subadviser, the Board noted that it had received and considered information about the Subadviser at the Meeting, including information relating to the approval of the subadvisory agreement for the other two PGIM Closed-End Funds and the renewal of the subadvisory agreements between the Manager and the Subadviser with respect to other PGIM Retail Funds, as well as at other regular meetings throughout the year, regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Subadviser. The Board considered, among other things, the qualifications, background and experience of the Subadviser’s portfolio managers who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, as well as information on the Subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information. The Board further noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer with respect to the Subadviser. The Board noted that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Subadviser with respect to the other PGIM Closed-End Fund and Retail Funds served by the Subadviser and determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Subadviser under the subadvisory agreement for the Fund

would be similar in nature to those provided under the other subadvisory agreements. The Board noted that the Subadviser is affiliated with the Manager.

Performance

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Fund has not yet been determined, no investment performance for the Fund existed for Board review. Although the Subadviser does not believe that any of the other high yield funds that it manages are directly comparable to the Fund, it provided the performance of other high yield funds for informational purposes. Although none of the other high yield strategies that are managed by the Subadviser are directly comparable to the Fund, the Board did consider the Subadviser’s track record in managing a closed-end fund that invests primarily in high yield securities for comparative purposes.

The Manager will provide information relating to performance to the Board in connection with subsequent reviews of the management agreement and subadvisory agreement.

Fee Rates

The Board considered the proposed management fees of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily value of the Fund’s investable assets to be paid by the Fund to the Manager and the proposed subadvisory fees of 0.50% of the Fund’s investable assets to be paid by the Manager to the Subadviser. The Board also considered that for purposes of calculating the proposed management and subadvisory fees, investable assets of the Fund refers to the total assets of the Fund including through borrowings. The Board considered information provided by the Manager comparing the Fund’s proposed management fee rate and total expenses (including the effects of leverage) to the Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee was in the fourth quartile and anticipated total expenses were in the first quartile of the Lipper Peer Group (first quartile being the lowest fee) based upon net assets assuming outstanding leverage. The Board noted that all of the funds in the peer group, except the Fund, were structured as perpetual funds and engaged in their initial public offerings prior to the change in term and sales load structure used for new closed-end funds coming to market.

The Board also noted that the Fund is the first closed-end fund sponsored by the Manager that is structured as a limited term trust as has been the predominant organizational structure of the retail closed-end fund industry in recent years. It was also noted that the term of Fund may be extended and the Fund may convert to a perpetual term at the option of the Board under certain circumstance. The Board considered that under this organizational structure, the Manager will pay the offering costs (including the sales load applicable to purchases of shares of the Fund in the initial public offering as well as

PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund

structuring and syndication fees payable to certain underwriters) and the fund’s organizational expenses out of its own resources. The Board considered that under the organizational structure of the two existing PGIM Closed-End Funds, the Manager had a much smaller upfront financial commitment and was not subject to the risk that the fund would dissolve or seriously diminish in size after a fixed period of time.

The Board concluded that the proposed management fee and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Profitability

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Fund has not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability information with respect to the Fund to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability information in connection with subsequent renewals of the management and subadvisory agreements.

Economies of Scale

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Fund has not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical information regarding economies of scale with respect to the Fund to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review such information in connection with subsequent renewals of the management and subadvisory agreements.

Other Benefits to the Manager and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Manager and the Subadviser. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Manager were similar to benefits derived by the Manager in connection with its management of the other affiliated funds managed by the Manager, which are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board also concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Subadviser were consistent with those generally derived by subadvisers to the PGIM Retail Funds, and that those benefits are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board concluded that any potential benefits derived by the Manager and the Subadviser were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

*    *    *

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