Early Access to Next Generation of Growth Companies
The investment team’s unconstrained global approach allows investors to gain early access to the next generation of growth companies through highly concentrated portfolios of small and mid-sized companies that are at an early stage in their growth trajectory.
The PGIM Jennison NextGeneration Global Opportunities Fund will have the flexibility to invest in small- and mid-cap companies worldwide, while the PGIM Jennison International Small-Mid Cap Opportunities Fund will generally invest in small- and mid-cap companies outside the United States.
“Within the small- and mid-cap space, we are looking for undiscovered, innovative investment opportunities across high-growth areas such as technology, e-commerce, and healthcare,” said Donnelly. “Our investment strategy allows us to invest early in a company’s lifecycle, tapping into opportunities not realized or fully appreciated by the broader investment community with the potential to deliver long-term risk-adjusted returns.”

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the fund. Contact your financial professional for a prospectus and summary prospectus. Read them carefully before investing.
Investing in mutual funds involves risks. Some mutual funds have more risk than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost and it is possible to lose money.
The Funds may invest in foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty; foreign securities may also be less liquid than US stocks and bonds; emerging market securities, which are subject to greater volatility and price declines; and equity and equity-related securities, where the value of a particular security could go down resulting in a loss of money, including small and mid-cap securities, which may be subject to more erratic market movements than large-cap stocks. The Funds are subject to market risks, including economic risks, as well as market disruption and geopolitical risks (the value of investments may decrease, and international conflicts and geopolitical developments may adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets, including increased volatility); liquidity risk exists when particular investments are hard to sell; geographic concentration, which can result in more pronounced risks based upon economic conditions that impact one or more countries or regions more or less than other countries or regions; and currency risk in that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to other currencies . The Funds’ growth style may subject the Funds to above-average fluctuations as a result of seeking higher than average capital growth. As new and relatively small funds, the Funds’ performance may not represent how the Funds are expected to or may perform in the long-term. Large shareholders could subject the Funds to large scale redemption risk. Actively managed funds are subject to the risk that the investment techniques and decisions of the subadviser may not produce the desired results. The Funds are non-diversified which means that the funds may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or other issuer than a diversified fund. Your actual cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. There is no guarantee the Funds’ objective will be achieved. The risks associated with the Fund are more fully explained in the Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus.
Investment products are not insured by the FDIC or any federal government agency, may lose value, and are not a deposit of or guaranteed by any bank or any bank affiliate.
