(1) “Shareholder service fee” reflects maximum allowable fees under a shareholder services plan.
(2) PGIM Investments LLC (PGIM Investments) has contractually agreed, through January 31, 2021, to limit transfer agency, shareholder servicing, sub-transfer agency, and blue sky fees, as applicable, to the extent that such fees cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed 2.04% of average daily net assets for Class B shares, 1.18% of average daily net assets for Class R2 shares, or 0.93% of average daily net assets for Class R4 shares. This contractual expense limitation excludes interest, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and certain other Fund expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales. Where applicable, PGIM Investments agrees to waive management fees or shared operating expenses on any share class to the same extent that it waives such expenses on any other share class. In addition, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for Class R6 shares will not exceed Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for Class Z shares. Fees and/or expenses waived and/or reimbursed by PGIM Investments may be recouped by PGIM Investments within the same fiscal year during which such waiver and/or reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year. This expense limitation may not be terminated prior to January 31, 2021 without the prior approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors
(3) The distributor of the Fund has contractually agreed through January 31, 2021 to reduce its distribution and service (12b-1) fees applicable to Class R shares to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares. This waiver may not be terminated prior to January 31, 2021 without the prior approval of the Fund’s Board of Directors.
Example. The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated, redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (except that fee waivers or reimbursements, if any, are only reflected in the 1-Year figures) and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio.
INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
Principal Investment Strategies. The subadviser seeks investments whose price will increase over time. The subadviser normally invests at least 80% of the Fund’s investable assets in equity and equity-related securities of small, less well-known companies that the subadviser believes are relatively undervalued. In deciding which stocks to buy, the subadviser uses a blend of both value and growth styles. The subadviser looks for stocks in a variety of different industries and sectors that the subadviser believes have attractive valuations, and should experience superior earnings growth on an intermediate term basis. The subadviser generally bases its belief on its proprietary forecasts of each company’s potential earnings growth for periods greater than one year. “Investable assets” consist of the Fund's net assets plus any borrowings for investment

purposes. The Fund's investable assets will be less than its total assets to the extent that it has borrowed money for non-investment purposes, such as to meet anticipated redemptions.
The Fund currently considers small companies to be those with a market capitalization less than the largest market capitalization of the Russell 2500 Index at the time of investment. The market capitalization within the index will vary, but as of October 31, 2019, the median market capitalization was approximately $1.2 billion and the largest company by market capitalization was approximately $12.2 billion. The Fund’s portfolio is diversified and typically will include stocks representing all of the sectors in the Russell 2500 Index.
Principal Risks. All investments have risks to some degree. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your investment. The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.
Blend Style Risk. The Fund's blend investment style may subject the Fund to risks of both value and growth investing. The portion of the Fund's portfolio that makes investments pursuant to a growth strategy may be subject to above-average fluctuations as a result of seeking higher than average capital growth. The portion of the Fund's portfolio that makes investments pursuant to a value strategy may be subject to the risk that the market may not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. Historically, growth stocks have performed best during later stages of economic expansion and value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery. Therefore, both styles may over time go in and out of favor with the markets. At times when a style is out of favor, that portion of the portfolio may lag the other portion of the portfolio, which may cause the Fund to underperform the market in general, its benchmark and other mutual funds. Growth and value stocks have historically produced similar long-term results, though each category has periods when it outperforms the other.
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, 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.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risk. The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Fund invests could go down. The Fund's holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Fund can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Increase in Expenses Risk. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.
Management Risk. The value of your investment may decrease if judgments by the subadviser about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements are incorrect.
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.
Small Company Risk. Small company stocks present above-average risks in comparison to larger companies. Small companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, stocks issued by smaller companies may be comparatively less liquid and fluctuate in value more than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
Performance. The following bar chart shows the Fund's performance for Class Z shares for each full calendar year of operations or for the last 10 calendar years, whichever is shorter. The following table shows the Fund's average annual returns and also compares the Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark and a group of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and table demonstrate the risk of investing in the Fund by showing how returns can change from year to year.
Past performance (before and after taxes) does not mean that the Fund will achieve similar results in the future. Updated Fund performance information is available online at www.pgiminvestments.com.
