1 DESIGNED FOR TODAY S AND TOMORROW S INVESTMENT CHALLENGES PRUDENTIAL REAL ASSETS FUND EFFECTIVE JUNE 11, 2018, THE FUND S NEW NAME WILL BE PGIM REAL ASSETS FUND. FUND SYMBOLS WILL NOT CHANGE. Potential diversification boost May help reduce portfolio volatility Hedge against rising interest rates and inflation

2 Diversification isn t easy anymore Real assets may help solve the diversification challenge Any investment advisor will tell you that one of the best ways to manage risk in a stock portfolio is to spread your money among many different categories from large to small companies, domestic and international, and growth and value stocks. But traditional asset allocation has been a challenge these days, as many types of stocks are performing in lockstep with each other. As a result, the usual approach to equity diversification is not offering much of an advantage, which means increased risk in your portfolio. Many have diversified with bonds, but interest rates are so low that these investors are not getting much income. And they may lose money when interest rates start increasing, which generally causes bond prices to drop. One solution may be to include an allocation to real assets in your portfolio. Real assets offer real diversification potential and have performed well in rising interest rate environments, while providing a hedge against inflation. Traditional approaches to portfolio diversification haven t been working. Adding real assets offers real diversification potential while helping to protect against rising interest rates and inflation. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in declining markets. 2

3 Real assets are generally things you can actually see Broadly speaking, real assets have actual physical properties, such as land or commodities. Real assets mutual funds may include investments in one or more of the following: REAL ASSETS INVESTMENT EXAMPLES POTENTIAL DIVERSIFICATION ADVANTAGE Real Estate Domestic and international industrial facilities, office buildings, retail malls, and apartments The ability to modify rent and leasing terms tends to make real estate a good inflation hedge. Underlying property values also tend to rise with inflation. Commodities Energy, agriculture, and metals Performance is not tied to stocks and bonds. Also, commodity prices rise with demand and high inflation. Natural Resources Utilities/Infrastructure U.S. TIPS Master Limited Partnerships Oil and gas exploration and mining companies -related securities and gold mining companies Utilities, power generation plants, oil and gas pipelines, wireless towers, and telecom facilities Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury in which the principal increases with inflation and decreases with deflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Businesses that engage in the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production, and mining of minerals or natural resources. May benefit from the earnings growth associated with that of natural resources companies. Relative safety during periods of economic uncertainty and high market volatility, as well as an inflation hedge. This sector is benefiting from rapidly increasing worldwide demand and has pricing power. While TIPS don t have physical properties, they are often included in real assets portfolios for their ability to hedge against inflation. In addition, they may offer relative stability during volatile markets. Low correlation to stocks and bonds. Benefiting from rapidly increasing demand for energy and natural resources. Commodities and commodity-linked notes may be speculative and more volatile than investments in more traditional equity and debt securities, which may be subject to counterparty risk, volatility risk, and leverage. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) are inflation-index bonds that may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations; fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and illiquidity risk. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) may not be suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee a REIT will pay distributions given the inherent risks associated with the market. A REIT may fail to qualify as a REIT as defined in the tax code, which could affect operations and negatively impact the ability to make distributions. There is no guarantee a REIT s investment objectives will be achieved. MLPs and MLP-related investments are subject to complicated and in some cases unsettled accounting, tax, and valuation issues, as well as risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote, potential conflicts of interest, cash flow, dilution, and limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner s right to force sales at undesirable times or prices. MLP risks relating to their complex tax structure include losing their tax status as a partnership, resulting in a reduction in the value of the MLP investment. 3

4 Real assets for today s challenges For diversification potential Successful diversification depends on building a portfolio of asset classes that offer low correlation, meaning that they do not move in lockstep with one another. With their generally low correlation to traditional asset classes, real assets may offer a rare quality in today s market the potential to add real diversification to a stock and bond portfolio. For example, investments in gold and U.S. TIPS can help reduce portfolio volatility during severe market declines given their low correlation to stocks. A correlation of +1 means investments perform similarly; a correlation of 1 means they move in opposite directions. Portfolios with low or negatively correlated assets tend to be less volatile and have lower risk.

5 For potential risk/ return boost Adding a real assets allocation to a traditional stock and bond portfolio would have helped improve the portfolio s risk-adjusted returns over the last 10 years, a period marked by low interest rates and low inflation. If interest rates and inflation start increasing, as many believe they will, real assets may help improve portfolio performance even more than they have in the past.

6 Real assets for tomorrow s challenges For strength in rising interest rate environments If interest rates rise, bond prices generally will decrease and investors who have a large fixed income allocation in their portfolios could lose money. When interest rates have risen in the past, real assets have outperformed stocks and bonds, delivering strong returns, even after adjusting for inflation.

8 Prudential Real Assets Fund Features a distinct asset allocation approach Since it takes time and expertise to understand and invest in these specialized sectors, investors often turn to mutual funds for their real assets allocation. The Prudential Real Assets Fund offers deep management experience and a dynamic approach to asset allocation. Unlike some real assets funds that base allocations on the expected rate of inflation, the Prudential Real Assets Fund s proprietary asset allocation process makes tactical allocations based primarily on current marketplace risk tolerance. Here s why: Real assets perform differently depending on marketplace risk tolerance POST-TECH BUBBLE: HIGHER RISK TOLERANCE (JUNE 2004 DECEMBER 2006) Average Annual Returns (%) 24.6% 13.9% 11.6% 3.8% Real estate and commodities tend to perform well when investors are willing to take on risk TIPS Real Estate Commodities POST-FINANCIAL CRISIS: LOWER RISK TOLERANCE (JANUARY 2008 MARCH 2009) Average Annual Returns (%) 29.3% 2.4% TIPS 10.4% Commodities but gold and TIPS tend to outperform when risk tolerance is low. The Prudential Real Assets Fund can adjust to these changes in risk appetites. 50.1% Real Estate Source: Calculated by PGIM Investments using data presented in Morningstar software products.

The four real assets indexes used in this chart illustrate dramatic changes in performance during different investment periods, and are represented by: S&P GSCI Index (commodities), FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index (real estate), London Fix Index (gold), and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index (TIPS).

9 How diversification can provide less downside risk The Prudential Real Assets Fund s asset allocation manager, QMA, tactically adjusts the portfolio weights based on price momentum, volatility, and correlation of each asset class to each other. This approach is intended to help cushion the fund s performance during times of high volatility within the market. As seen below, investing in a diversified real assets portfolio has historically provided better downside protection over individual real asset classes U.S. TIPS Global Infrastructure Prudential Real Assets Class Z S&P 500 Index U.S. REITs International REITs Source: Calculated by PGIM Investments using data presented in Morningstar software products.

Net operating expense: Class Z, 0.94%, after contractual reduction through 2/28/2019. Class Z shares are available to institutional investors through certain retirement, mutual fund wrap, and asset allocation programs, and to institutions at an investment minimum of $5,000,000. Performance by share class may vary. Other share classes, which contain either a sales load or a contingent deferred sales charge, are also available. These expenses could lower total fund return. Please see the prospectus for additional information about fees, expenses, and investor eligibility requirements. Source: PGIM. Total return describes the return to the investor after net operating expenses but before any sales charges are imposed. SEC standardized return describes the return to the investor after net operating expenses and maximum sales charges are imposed. All returns assume share price changes as well as the compounding effect of reinvested dividends and capital gains. Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Without such, returns would be lower. Performance by share class may vary. 9

12 RISK INFORMATION The Fund is exposed to the same types of risks as the underlying funds, securities, and financial instruments in which it invests. These risks include: during periods of deflation or no inflation, the Fund may underperform broad market measures and lose value; non-u.s. and emerging market securities are subject to greater volatility and price declines; real estate poses certain risks related to overall and specific economic conditions as well as risks related to individual property, credit, and interest rate fluctuations; commodities and commodity-linked notes may be speculative and more volatile than investments in more traditional equity and debt securities, which may be subject to counterparty risk, volatility risk, and leverage; the Fund may invest in a wholly owned Cayman subsidiary, and changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund to effect its desired commodity investment strategy; and derivative securities may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) are inflation-index bonds that may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations; fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and illiquidity risk; some, but not all, of the U.S. government securities in which the Fund invests are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, meaning that payment of interest and principal is guaranteed, but yield and market value are not; the Fund s manager also serves as the manager of the underlying funds, and a conflict of interest could affect how the manager and subadvisors fulfill their fiduciary duties to the Fund and the underlying funds; short sales involve costs and the risk of potentially unlimited losses; and leveraging techniques may magnify losses. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) may not be suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee a REIT will pay distributions given the inherent risks associated with the market. A REIT may fail to qualify as a REIT as defined in the tax code, which could affect operations and negatively impact the ability to make distributions. There is no guarantee a REIT s investment objectives will be achieved. MLPs and MLP-related investments are subject to complicated and in some cases unsettled accounting, tax, and valuation issues, as well as risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote, potential conflicts of interest, cash flow, dilution, and limited liquidity and risks related to the general partner s right to force sales at undesirable times or prices. MLP risks relating to their complex tax structure include losing their tax status as a partnership, resulting in a reduction in the value of the MLP investment and lower income to the fund. The Fund is deemed a commodity pool and compliance with certain commodity pool regulations may cause the Fund s expenses to increase. The nature to which regulations of commodity pools may affect the fund are uncertain. The risks associated with the Fund are more fully explained in the prospectus and summary prospectus. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no guarantee the Fund s objective will be achieved.
