PGIM is the world’s 11th-largest investment manager with more than $1.5 trillion in assets under management.

Fees and Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 held through the six-month period ended January 31, 2023. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of PGIM funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information
15
Fees and Expenses (continued)
provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Financial Statements (unaudited)
Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (the “Registered Investment Company” or “RIC”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The RIC is organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust. These financial statements (consolidated financial statements for Commodity Strategies Fund) relate only to the following series of the RIC: PGIM Jennison Small-Cap Core Equity Fund, PGIM Core Conservative Bond Fund, PGIM TIPS Fund, PGIM Quant Solutions Mid-Cap Core Fund (formerly known as PGIM QMA Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund), PGIM Quant Solutions US Broad Market Index Fund (formerly known as PGIM QMA US Broad Market Index Fund), each of which are diversified funds for the purposes of the 1940 Act, and PGIM Quant Solutions Commodity Strategies Fund (the “Commodity Strategies Fund”) (formerly known as PGIM QMA Commodity Strategies Fund), which is a non-diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
The Commodity Strategies Fund wholly owns and controls the PGIM QMA Commodity Strategies Subsidiary, Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. The consolidated financial statements of the Commodity Strategies Fund include the financial results of the Cayman Subsidiary.
In accordance with the accounting rules relating to reporting of a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Consolidated Schedule of Investments includes positions of the Commodity Strategies Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Commodity Strategies Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Commodity Strategies Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation. The Commodity Strategies Fund will seek to gain exposure to commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other investments by directly investing in those instruments or through investments in the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary participates in the same investment objective as the Commodity Strategies Fund. The Cayman Subsidiary pursues its investment objective by investing in commodities, commodities-related instruments, derivatives and other investments. The Cayman Subsidiary (unlike the Commodity Strategies Fund) may invest without limitation in these instruments. However, the Cayman Subsidiary is otherwise subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Commodity Strategies Fund.
The Commodity Strategies Fund’s disclosures and operations are subject to compliance with applicable regulations governing commodity pools including Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules.
158
As of January 31, 2023, the Cayman Subsidiary had net assets of $14,923,826, representing 17.7% of the Commodity Strategies Fund’s net assets.
The Funds have the following investment objectives:

|
The Funds follow 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 Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Funds consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements (consolidated financial statements for Commodity Strategies).
Securities Valuation: The Funds hold 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 Funds’ investments are valued daily based on a number of factors, including the type of investment and whether market quotations are readily available. The RIC’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures for security valuation and designated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to SEC Rule 2a-5(b) to perform the fair value determination relating to all Funds investments. Pursuant to the Board’s oversight, the Valuation Designee has established a Valuation Committee to perform the duties and responsibilities as valuation designee under SEC Rule 2a-5. The valuation procedures permit the Funds to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative
159
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
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.
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 of the Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Various inputs determine how the Funds’ 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 Measurement (Consolidated Schedule of Investments for Commodity Strategies).
Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and derivative instruments, if applicable, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Funds are valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
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
160
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 Funds utilize 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.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on policies and procedures 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 comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Valuation Designee 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.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rate as of the valuation date;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not generally isolate that portion of
161
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period unrealized and realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. Notwithstanding the above, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.
Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Commodities: The Commodity Strategies Fund gains exposure to commodity markets through direct investment of the Commodity Strategies Fund’s assets or through the Cayman Subsidiary. The Commodity Strategies Fund gains exposure to the commodity markets primarily through exchange-traded futures on commodities held by the Cayman Subsidiary. The Commodity Strategies Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary may invest in commodity investments without limit. The Fund invests in the Cayman Subsidiary in order to gain exposure to commodities within the limitations of the federal tax law requirements applicable to regulated investment companies such as the Fund. The Commodity Strategies Fund may invest directly in commodity-linked structured notes (CLNs). The Commodity Strategies Fund may also gain direct exposure to commodities through direct investment in certain exchange-traded funds (ETFs) whose returns are linked to commodities or commodity indices within the limit of applicable tax law. Commodities are assets that have tangible properties, such as oil, agriculture products and precious metals. The value of commodities may be affected by, among other things, changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargos, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. These factors may have a larger impact on commodity prices and commodity linked instruments than on traditional securities. Certain commodities are also subject to
162
limited pricing flexibility because of supply and demand factors. Others are subject to broad price fluctuations as a result of the volatility of the prices for certain raw materials and the instability of supplies of other materials. These additional variables may create additional risks which subject the Commodity Strategies Fund’s investments to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
Financial/Commodity Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations (Consolidated Statement of Operations for Commodity Strategies Fund) as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.
The Funds invested in financial and/or commodity futures contracts in order to hedge their existing portfolio securities, or securities the Funds intend to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The Commodity Strategies Fund invested in commodity futures contracts in order to hedge or gain exposure to commodity markets. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Master Netting Arrangements: The RIC, on behalf of the Funds, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of a Fund. A master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law.
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: Certain Funds purchased or sold securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery and forward commitment basis. These transactions involve
163
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
a commitment by the Funds to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain an amount of liquid assets sufficient to meet the purchase price in a segregated account until the settlement date. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction subsequent to establishment, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss). When selling a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds forfeit their eligibility to realize future gains (losses) with respect to the security.
Securities Lending: The Funds lend their portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned securities. The remaining open loans of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Fund recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto, which are reflected in interest income or unaffiliated dividend income based on the nature of the payment on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls: Certain Funds entered into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Funds sell mortgage securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain (loss), and simultaneously enter into contracts to repurchase somewhat similar (same type, coupon
164
and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Funds forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Funds are compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the sale proceeds and the lower repurchase price is recorded as a realized gain on investment transactions. The Funds maintain a segregated account, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligations, with respect to dollar rolls. The Funds are subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively REITs): Certain Funds invested in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs): SPACs are collective investment structures that allow public stock market qualified investors to invest in PIPE shares. SPACs are shell companies, that have no operations but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company with the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”).
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 Funds become 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.
Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to continue 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.
Dividends and Distributions: 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 between total distributable earnings (loss) and paid-in capital, as appropriate. The chart below sets forth the expected frequency of dividend and capital gains distributions to shareholders. Various factors may impact the frequency of dividend

The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements (consolidated financial statements for Commodity Strategies Fund) for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2022 are subject to such review.
The Funds offer Class R6 shares and the Commodity Strategies Fund also offers Class Z. Class Z and Class R6 shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are available exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.
The RIC is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, which may be divided into an unlimited number of series of such shares.

The RIC, on behalf of the Funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Participating Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reporting period-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | |
| | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Term of Commitment | | 9/30/2022 - 9/28/2023 | | 10/1/2021 – 9/29/2022 |
Total Commitment | | $ 1,200,000,000 | | $ 1,200,000,000 |
Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.00% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the daily SOFR rate plus 0.10% or (3) zero percent | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Participating Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Funds utilized the SCA during the reporting period ended January 31, 2023. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Funds utilized the credit facility.

Active Trading Risk: The Fund actively and frequently trades its portfolio securities. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which are borne directly by the Fund; which can affect the Fund’s performance and have adverse tax consequences. In addition, high portfolio turnover may also mean that a proportionately greater amount of distributions to shareholders will be taxed as ordinary income rather than long-term capital gains compared to investment companies with lower portfolio turnover.
Adjustable and Floating Rate Securities Risk: The value of adjustable and floating rate securities may lag behind the value of fixed rate securities when interest rates change. Such securities may be subject to extended settlement periods (longer than seven days) and in unusual market conditions, with a high volume of shareholder redemptions, may present a risk of loss to the Fund or may impair the Fund’s ability satisfy shareholder redemption requests.
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
175
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
recognize a security’s intrinsic value for long periods of time or at all, or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued. Issuers of value stocks may have experienced adverse business developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stock to be out of favor. If the Fund’s assessment of market conditions or a company’s value is inaccurate, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. 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.
Cayman Subsidiary Risk: By investing in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiary’s investments. The Cayman Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands, under which the Cayman Subsidiary is incorporated, could result in the inability of the Fund to effect its desired gold/defensive investment strategy.
Commodity Risk: The values of commodities are affected by events that might have less impact on the value of stocks and bonds. Such investments may be speculative. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including weather, crop or livestock disease, investment speculation, resource availability, fluctuations in industrial and commercial supply and demand, U.S. agricultural, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, embargoes, tariffs, and international political, economic, military and regulatory developments. These risks may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional instruments or securities.
Commodity-Linked Notes Risk: The Fund may invest in leveraged or unleveraged commodity-linked notes (“CLNs”) to gain exposure to the commodities markets. CLNs are subject to counterparty risk. The value of the CLNs may fluctuate significantly because the values of the investments to which they are linked are volatile. In addition, the terms of a CLN may create economic leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable. Economic leverage increases the volatility of CLNs and their value may increase or decrease more quickly than the value of the underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable.
176
Commodity Pooled Investment Vehicles Risk: The Fund may, from time to time, invest in certain publicly-traded commodity pools, such as commodity ETFs. Such pools may not meet the definition of an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, and may not be registered under the 1940 Act. As a consequence, the Fund’s investment in such entities may not be subject to certain protections afforded by the 1940 Act, including, for example, restrictions under the 1940 Act on investments in other investment companies. ETFs that invest in commodities may be, or may become subject to, CFTC trading regulations that limit the amount of commodity contracts an ETF may hold. Such regulations could hurt the value of such ETFs’ securities. Additionally, some commodity ETFs invest in commodity futures which can lose money even when commodity prices are rising.
Commodity Regulatory Risk: The Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary is deemed a “commodity pool” and the Manager is considered a “commodity pool operator” with respect to the Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary under the Commodity Exchange Act. The Manager, directly or through its affiliates, is therefore subject to dual regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the CFTC. The regulatory requirements governing the use of commodity futures (which include futures on broad-based securities indexes, interest rate futures and currency futures), options on commodity futures, certain swaps or certain other investments could change at any time.
Concentration Risk: The Fund will be exposed to the performance of commodities in the Index, which may from time to time have a small number of commodity sectors (e.g., energy, metals or agricultural) representing a large portion of the Index. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater volatility than if the Index were more broadly diversified among commodity sectors.
Credit Risk/Counterparty Risk: The ability, or perceived ability, of the issuer or guarantor of a debt security, or the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) to a derivatives contract or other financial contract to meet its financial obligations will affect the value of the security or derivative. Counterparty and credit risk are especially important in the context of privately negotiated instruments. The Fund expects to enter into certain privately negotiated agreements where the counterparty assumes the physical settlement obligations of the Fund under such transactions. Under this type of arrangement, there is a risk that the relevant counterparty or intermediary would, due to insolvency or other reasons, be unable to or fail to assume the physical settlement obligations of the Fund, in which case the Fund could be required to sell portfolio instruments at unfavorable times or prices or could have insufficient assets to satisfy its physical settlement obligations.
Credit ratings are intended to provide a measure of credit risk. However, credit ratings are only the opinions of the credit rating agency issuing the ratings and are not guarantees as to quality. The lower the rating of a debt security held by the Fund, the greater the degree of credit risk that is perceived to exist by the credit rating agency with respect to that security. Increasing the amount of Fund assets allocated to lower-rated securities generally will increase the credit risk to which the Fund is subject. Not all securities in which the Fund invests are rated. The lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
177
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated

Debt Obligations Risk: Debt obligations are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also 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 not be able to reinvest at the same rate of interest and therefore would earn less income.
Deflation Risk: Since the Fund makes investments that may perform well in periods of rising inflation, during periods of no inflation or deflation an investment in the Fund may underperform broad market measures and may lose value.
Derivatives 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 derivatives transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” or may create economic leverage for the Fund 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 over-the-counter derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Over-the-counter derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund. The use of derivatives also exposes the Fund to operational issues, such as documentation and settlement issues, systems failures, inadequate control and human error.
Derivatives may also involve legal risks, such as insufficient documentation, the lack of capacity or authority of a counterparty to execute or settle a transaction, and the legality and enforceability of derivatives contracts. The U.S. Government and foreign governments have adopted (and may adopt further) regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements, and risk exposure limitations. Regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility to the Fund, or otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.
Economic and Market Events Risk: Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or
178
stabilize economic growth or the functioning of the securities markets, or otherwise reduce inflation, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Governmental efforts to curb inflation often have negative effects on the level of economic activity. Relatively reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risk: Equity and equity-related securities may be subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. 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. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk: Investing in securities issued by ETFs involves risks similar to those of investing directly in the securities and other assets held by the ETF. Unlike shares of typical mutual funds, shares of ETFs are generally traded on an exchange throughout a trading day and bought and sold based on market values and not at net asset value. For this reason, shares could trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value, which may be substantial during periods of market stress. The trading price of an index-based ETF is expected to (but may not) closely track the net asset value of the ETF, and the Fund will generally gain or lose value consistent with the performance of the ETF’s portfolio securities. The Fund will pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs. In addition, the Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by an ETF (including ETFs managed by the Manager or the subadviser(s)) in which they invest, including advisory fees (to the extent not offset by the Manager through waivers). These expenses are in addition to the advisory and other expenses that the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations. An index-based ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF, the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or the number of securities held. Investments in ETFs are subject to the risk that the listing exchange may halt trading of an ETF’s shares, in which case the Fund would be unable to sell its ETF shares unless and until trading is resumed.
Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) may involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the United States. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund’s performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of
179
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines.
In addition, the Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.
Fund of Funds Risk: The Fund is an investment option for other PGIM Investments-advised mutual funds that are managed as “funds of funds.” As a result, from time to time, the Fund may experience relatively large redemptions and could be required to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.
Futures and Forward Contracts Risk: The primary risks associated with the use of futures or forward contracts are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of the corresponding underlying commodities; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures or forward contract and the resulting inability to close a futures or forward contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the failure to predict correctly the direction of commodities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, supply and demand relationships, weather, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, political events, and other economic factors; and (e) the possibility that the clearing broker for the futures or forward contract will default in the performance of its obligations.
Hedging Risk: The decision as to whether and to what extent the Fund will engage in hedging transactions to hedge against certain risks, such as market risk and issuer risk, will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, the composition of the portfolio of the Fund, and the availability of suitable transactions. Hedging transactions involve costs and may result in losses. There is no guarantee that any of these hedging instruments would work as anticipated, and in certain cases the Fund might be better off had it not used a hedging instrument. There can be no assurance that the Fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time or from time to time, even under volatile market environments, or that any such strategies, if used, will be successful.
Increase in Expenses Risk: Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table in the Fund’s prospectus for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease.
180
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.
Index Investment Approach Risk: Since the Fund is passively managed, assets are not allocated from one stock or group of stocks to another based on their prospects, or from stocks into bonds or cash equivalents in an attempt to cushion the impact of a market decline. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be less favorable than that of a portfolio using an active investment strategy. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment results will have a high degree of correlation to those of the Index. The Fund’s expenses, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the Index, errors in index provider data, and the timing of purchases and redemptions of Fund shares, among other things, may affect the correlation between Fund and Index performance. The Fund may not perform as well as other investments if, among other things, the Index declines or performs poorly relative to other related indexes or individual securities or the securities issued by companies that comprise the Index fall out of favor with investors.
Initial Public Offerings Risk: The volume of IPOs and the levels at which the newly issued stocks trade in the secondary market are affected by the performance of the stock market overall. If IPOs are brought to the market, availability may be limited and if the Fund desires to acquire shares in such an offering, it may not be able to buy any shares at the offering price, or if it is able to buy shares, it may not be able to buy as many shares at the offering price as it would like. The prices of securities involved in IPOs are often subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than more established stocks. Such unpredictability can have a dramatic impact on the Fund’s performance (higher or lower) and any assumptions by investors based on the affected performance may be unwarranted. In addition, as Fund assets grow, the impact of IPO investments on performance will decline, which could reduce total returns.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of your 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. Similarly, a rise in interest rates may also have a greater negative impact on the value of equity securities whose issuers expect earnings further out in the future. For example, a fixed income security with a duration of three years is expected to decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. This is referred to as “duration risk.” 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 lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.
Large Capitalization Company Risk: Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less
181
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Fund’s value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations.
Large Shareholder and Large Scale Redemption Risk: Certain individuals, accounts, funds (including funds affiliated with the Manager) or institutions, including the Manager and its affiliates, may from time to time own or control a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. There is no requirement that these entities maintain their investment in the Fund. There is a risk that such large shareholders or that the Fund’s shareholders generally may redeem all or a substantial portion of their investments in the Fund in a short period of time, which could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s NAV, liquidity, and brokerage costs. Large redemptions could also result in tax consequences to shareholders and impact the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. The Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective after one or more large scale redemptions may be impaired and, as a result, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.
Liquidity Risk: The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are more illiquid than other investments. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the instrument at all. 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.
Management Risk: Actively managed mutual funds are subject to management risk. The subadviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these techniques will produce the desired results. Additionally, the investments selected by the subadviser may underperform the markets in general, the Fund’s benchmark and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks: Market disruption can be caused by economic, financial or political events and factors, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine), geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19 globally).
The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted, but could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Fund. These and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets
182
and lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets, significant negative impacts on issuers and the markets for certain securities and commodities and/or government intervention. They may also cause short- or long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund could be significantly impacted, which could lead to such securities being valued at zero.
COVID-19 and the related governmental and public responses have had and may continue to have an impact on the Fund’s investments and net asset value and have led and may continue to lead to increased market volatility and the potential for illiquidity in certain classes of securities and sectors of the market. They have also had and may continue to result in periods of business disruption, business closures, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for the issuers in which the Fund invests. The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of public health epidemics could adversely affect the economies and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.
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.
Medium Capitalization (Mid-Cap) Company Risk: The Fund’s investments in mid-cap companies carry more risk than investments in larger capitalized companies. Investments in mid-cap companies carry additional risks because earnings of these companies tend to be less predictable; they often have limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources; and the management of such companies may be dependent on one or a few key people. The market movements of these companies’ securities may be more abrupt or erratic than the market movements of securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general. Historically, mid-cap companies have sometimes gone through extended periods when they did not perform as well as larger companies. Mid-cap companies generally are comparatively less liquid than larger companies, which may make such investments more difficult to sell at the time and price that the Fund would like. Also, the stocks of mid-cap companies may fall out of favor relative to those of small- or large-capitalization companies, causing the Fund to underperform other equity funds that focus on small- or large-capitalization companies.
Model Design Risk: The subadviser uses certain quantitative models to help guide its investment decisions. The design of the underlying models may be flawed or incomplete. The investment models the subadviser uses are based on historical and theoretical underpinnings that it believes are sound. There can be no guarantee, however, that these underpinnings will correlate with security price behavior in the manner assumed by the
183
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
subadviser’s models. Additionally, the quantitative techniques that underlie the subadviser’s portfolio construction processes may fail to fully anticipate important risks.
Model Implementation Risk: While the subadviser strives to mitigate the likelihood of material implementation errors, it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of error in the implementation of the computer models that guide the subadviser’s quantitative investment processes. Additionally, it may be difficult to implement model recommendations in volatile and rapidly changing market conditions.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. The values of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities become more volatile as interest rates rise. In a period of declining interest rates, the Fund may be required to reinvest more frequent prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities in lower-yielding investments.
Non-Diversified Investment Company Risk: Funds that are “non-diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, may invest a greater percentage of their assets in securities of a single issuer. Accordingly, a non-diversified fund may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than a diversified fund might be.
Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred stock can experience sharp declines in value over short or extended periods of time, regardless of the success or failure of a company’s operations. As with call provisions, a redemption by the issuer may negatively impact the return of the security held by the Fund. Preferred stockholders’ liquidation rights are subordinate to the company’s debt holders and creditors. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive and the price of preferred stocks may decline. Preferred stock usually does not require the issuer to pay dividends and may permit the issuer to defer dividend payments. Preferred securities also may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stock or U.S. Government securities.
Reference Rate Risk: The Fund may be exposed to financial instruments that are tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of LIBOR such that after June 30, 2023, the overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be published or will no longer be representative. All other LIBOR settings and certain other interbank offered rates, such as the Euro Overnight Index Average (“EONIA”), ceased to be published or representative after December 31, 2021. The Fund may have investments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future.
184
Various financial industry groups have been planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there remain challenges to converting certain securities and transactions to a new reference rate (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace the U.S. dollar LIBOR).
Neither the effect of the LIBOR transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR as well as loan facilities used by the Fund. While some existing LIBOR-based instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate-setting methodology, there may be significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies to replicate LIBOR. Not all existing LIBOR-based instruments may have alternative rate-setting provisions and there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to add alternative rate-setting provisions in certain existing instruments. Global regulators have advised market participants to cease entering into new contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate, and it is possible that investments in LIBOR-based instruments could invite regulatory scrutiny. There may also be challenges for the Fund to enter into hedging transactions against such newly-issued instruments until a market for such hedging transactions develops. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or net asset value.
Small and Medium Capitalization Risk: Small and medium capitalization 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 expertise. As a result, their prices may fluctuate more than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Historically, small and mid-cap companies have sometimes gone through extended periods when they did not perform as well as larger companies. Small and mid-capitalization companies generally are less liquid than larger companies, which may make such investments more difficult to sell at the time and price that the Fund would like.
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 expertise. 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.
Tax Risk: To receive pass-through tax treatment as a Registered Investment Company under the Code, the Fund must, among other things, derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from sources treated under the Code as “qualifying income.” Based on final regulations on which taxpayers may rely for taxable years beginning after September 28, 2016, the Fund anticipates treating the income generated from investments in the Cayman Subsidiary as “qualifying income.” However, the tax treatment of income from commodity-related investments and the Fund’s income from the Cayman Subsidiary may be adversely affected by future legislation, U.S. Treasury Regulations, and/or guidance
185
Notes to Financial Statements/Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
issued by the Internal Revenue Service that could affect the character, timing, and/or amount of the Fund’s taxable income or capital gains and distributions it makes.
TIPS Risk: Inflation-indexed bonds, such as TIPS, generally decline in value when real interest rates rise. Real interest rates represent the nominal (stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, TIPS may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations. In addition, any increase in principal value of an inflation-indexed bond caused by an increase in the price index is taxable in the year the increase occurs, even though the Fund generally will not receive cash representing the increase at that time. As a result, the Fund could be required at times to liquidate other investments, including when it is not advantageous to do so, in order to satisfy its distribution requirements as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Also, to the extent that the Fund invests in inflation-indexed bonds, income distributions are more likely to fluctuate.
The Fund’s income may decline due to a decline in inflation, also known as deflation. If there is deflation, the principal value of an inflation-linked security will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payments (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. The principal value can decrease, but not below 100. If inflation is lower than expected during the period the Fund holds an inflation-linked security, the Fund may earn less on the security than on a conventional bond.
Tracking Error Risk: Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of the Index. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in the Index, pricing differences, transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of distributions, tax gains or losses, changes to the Index or the need to meet various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while the Index does not.
Trading on Foreign Exchanges Risk: The Fund is expected to trade in commodity forward contracts listed on UK futures exchanges and may, but is not expected to, trade in instruments listed on other exchanges located outside the United States. Some foreign exchanges may be principal markets so that no common clearing facility exists and a trader may look only to the broker for performance of the contract. Trading on U.S. futures exchanges is subject to regulation by the SEC and the CFTC and oversight, as applicable, including, for example, minimum capital requirements for commodity brokers, regulation of trading practices on the exchanges, prohibitions against trading ahead of customer orders, prohibitions against filling orders off exchanges, prescribed risk disclosure statements,

testing and licensing of industry sales personnel and other industry professionals, and recordkeeping requirements. Trading on foreign exchanges is not regulated by the SEC, CFTC or any other U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality and may be subject to regulations that are different from those to which U.S. exchange trading is subject, provide less protection to investors than trading on U.S. exchanges, and such regulations may be less vigorously enforced than regulations in the U.S. positions on foreign exchanges also are subject to the risk of exchange controls, expropriation, excessive taxation or government disruptions.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities Risk: U.S. Government and agency securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Not all U.S. Government securities are insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; some are only insured or guaranteed by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt. Some agency securities carry no guarantee whatsoever and the risk of default associated with these securities would be borne by the Fund. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. Government securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the U.S. Treasury. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to any such issuers if it is not obligated to do so by law. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.
U.S. Treasury Strips Risk: Stripped securities do not make periodic interest payments. The value of stripped securities generally fluctuates more in response to interest rate movements than the value of traditional bonds with similar maturity and credit quality. U.S. Treasury strips generally lose value when interest rates rise.
Zero Coupon Bond Risk: Zero coupon bonds may experience greater volatility in market value due to changes in interest rates. The Fund accrues income on the discount amortization of these investments, which it is required to distribute each year. The Fund may be required to sell investments to obtain cash needed for income distributions.
