Highlights (unaudited)
• | An overweight versus the Index* in health care bonds, which outperformed during the reporting period, contributed favorably to performance. The Fund’s overweight in education, prepay gas credits, and corporate-backed credits also contributed favorably. |
• | The Fund’s overweight in long-term municipal bonds, versus those in the Index, contributed to performance as spreads (the difference in yields) between long-term municipal bonds and shorter-term maturities tightened. |
• | The Fund’s longer duration versus the Index detracted from performance as yields rose across the curve during the reporting period. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rate levels. |

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the annual report for PGIM Muni High Income Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the 12-month period ended April 30, 2018.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Fund’s name has changed. Your Fund’s management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.*
Over the reporting period, global economic growth continued its positive momentum, and central banks gradually tightened monetary policy. The US economy experienced moderate expansion and robust employment levels.
Equity returns were solid, due to healthy earnings expectations and the anticipated impact from tax reform. Global equities, including emerging markets, generally posted strong returns. US equities soared on new regulatory policy and revised corporate tax legislation. However, late in the period, volatility arose on jitters over inflation and rising interest rates, tariffs, and a potential trade war.
In bond markets, US Treasury yields rose across both short and longer maturities. European bonds followed and often led during the period. In Japan, the policy stance kept yields considerably lower. US corporate bonds handily outpaced Treasuries. Although most bond market sectors delivered positive returns, a great deal of gains were erased at the end of the period. In March, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates for the sixth time since 2015, based on confidence in the economy.
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.
Thank you for choosing our family of funds.
Sincerely,
Stuart S. Parker, President
PGIM Muni High Income Fund

portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class Z shares (April 30, 2008) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (April 30, 2018) as measured on a quarterly basis. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (b) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class Z shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier and in the following paragraphs, performance for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R6* shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without waiver of fees and/or expense reimbursements, if any, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.
Past performance does not predict future performance. Total returns and the ending account values in the graph include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The PGIM Muni High Income Fund’s Class Z shares returned 4.15% for the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2018, outperforming the 1.56% return of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the 3.66% return of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (50%) / Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index (50%)*. The Fund underperformed the 4.19% return of the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average.
What were conditions like in the municipal bond market?
• | Municipal securities exhibited solid performance during much of the reporting period as mutual funds experienced steady inflows. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 drove a surge in refunding supply, as the legislation eliminated the prospective ability of municipal entities to refund their debt in advance, beginning in 2018. This policy shift accelerated a significant amount of issuance midway through the reporting period, effectively leading to a supply reduction in the latter part. While this supply reduction provided a strong technical tailwind for the municipal market, higher interest rates across the curve diminished performance toward the end of the period. For the full 12 months, municipal bonds outperformed Treasury bonds with a maturity of 10 years or more on the curve, and they performed in line with 5-year Treasury bonds. |
• | During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates (the federal funds rate) by 25 basis points three times—in June, December, and March. A basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point. The continued path to higher rates is expected to be gradual. The municipal yield curve flattened during the period as front-end rates rose while yields declined on the long end. |
• | The low-rate environment, coupled with the new tax law’s elimination of advanced refunding eligibility, resulted in refunding volume outpacing new money issuance. In a refunding deal, an issuer reduces its interest expense by redeeming outstanding bonds and issuing new bonds at a lower interest rate. |
• | On the credit front, investors absorbed the news midway through the reporting period that Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricane Maria. The storm caused widespread damage and placed substantial strain on an already dire fiscal situation. By the end of the period, updated fiscal plans were being developed, although significant uncertainty exists as negotiations between creditors and the commonwealth continue under the watchful eye of the courts. The municipal market continued to view the Puerto Rico crises as non-systemic. |
*The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (50%) / Bloomberg Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index (50%) is used for the purposes of discussing the Fund’s relative performance with respect to sector weightings, credit ratings, and security selection.
PGIM Muni High Income Fund | 11 |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
• | In general, state and local governments continued to generate higher revenues through increased tax receipts, which helped balance their budgets. Unfunded retiree obligations remain a broader long-term issue, with investors mostly concerned about Illinois and New Jersey. |
What worked?
• | The Fund’s overweight in long-term municipal bonds, versus those in the Index, contributed to performance as spreads (the difference in yields) between long-term municipal bonds and shorter-term maturities tightened. |
• | An overweight versus the Index in health care bonds, which outperformed during the reporting period, contributed favorably to performance. The Fund’s overweight in education, prepay gas credits, and corporate-backed credits also contributed favorably. |
• | The Fund’s underweight in Puerto Rico credits contributed favorably to performance as spreads widened during the period. |
What didn’t work?
• | The Fund’s longer duration versus the Index detracted from performance as yields rose across the curve during the reporting period. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rate levels. |
• | The Fund’s modest underweight relative to the Index in tobacco settlement bonds detracted from performance as this was among the top-performing sectors over the period. Tobacco bonds are backed by payments from tobacco companies participating in the Master Settlement Agreement. |
Did the Fund use derivatives and how did they affect performance?
• | The Fund held futures contracts on US Treasuries to shorten the portfolio’s duration, which reduced its sensitivity to changes in the level of rates. Overall, this strategy had a neutral impact on performance. |
Current outlook
Looking ahead, while municipal market technicals (supply and demand) typically weaken at the start of the second quarter, the market is better positioned this year as supply is expected to remain manageable, given the heavy issuance in late 2017 ahead of tax reform. For 2018, significant negative net supply is expected where interest and principal payments outpace issuance. A stable rate environment should support mutual fund flows. The problem credits that have dominated the municipal market headlines in recent years have not been resolved. However, we continue to believe that these credit stories, regardless of their outcomes, do not pose a systemic risk to the broader municipal market.

As a shareholder of a 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 each 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 April 30, 2018. 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
PGIM Muni High Income Fund | 13 |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information 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.

PGIM Muni High Income Fund | 47 |
Notes to Financial Statements
Prudential Investment Portfolios 4—PGIM Muni High Income Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as an unincorporated business trust in Massachusetts on November 3, 1986 and currently consists of one fund: the PGIM Muni High Income Fund. Effective June 11, 2018, the Fund’s name was changed by replacing “Prudential” with “PGIM” in the Fund’s name and Class Q shares were renamed Class R6 shares.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide the maximum amount of income that is eligible for exclusion from federal income taxes.
1. Accounting Policies
The Fund follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Fund consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. 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. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or “the Manager”). Under the current valuation procedures, the Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
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 Fund’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Various inputs determine how the Fund’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
48 |
Derivative instruments, such as futures or options, 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.
Fixed income securities traded in the OTC market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Fund utilizes the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities: Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the investment. Therefore, the Fund may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were
PGIM Muni High Income Fund | 49 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Fund’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Fund. However, the liquidity of the Fund’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Financial Futures Contracts: A financial 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 financial futures contract, the Fund is 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 Fund 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 as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.
The Fund invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in value of equities. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts and the underlying hedged assets. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Concentration of Risk: The ability of debt securities issuers (other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic or political developments in a specific industry, region or country.
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. 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. Net investment income or loss (other than class specific expenses and waivers, which are allocated as noted below) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
50 |
Class specific expenses and waivers, where applicable, are charged to the respective share classes. Class specific expenses include distribution fees and distribution fee waivers, and effective January 1, 2018, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Prior to January 1, 2018 transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements were not designated as class specific expenses and were allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Taxes: It is the 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.
Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits, if any, are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to declare dividends of its net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain (loss) and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the Subadviser’s performance of such services. In addition, under the management agreement, PGIM Investments provides all of the administrative functions necessary for the organization, operation and management of the Fund. PGIM Investments administers the corporate affairs of the Fund and, in connection therewith, furnishes the Fund with office facilities, together with those ordinary clerical and bookkeeping services which are not being furnished by, the Fund’s custodian (the Custodian), and the Fund’s transfer agent. PGIM Investments is also responsible for the staffing and management of dedicated groups of legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel necessary for the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
operation of the Fund. The legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel are also responsible for the management and oversight of the various service providers to the Fund, including, but not limited to, the custodian, transfer agent, and accounting agent.
PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Fund through its PGIM Fixed Income unit. The subadvisory agreement provides that PGIM, Inc. will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PGIM, Inc. is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PGIM Investments pays for the services of PGIM, Inc., the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PGIM Investments is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.45% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate before any waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.50% for the year ended April 30, 2018.
Effective January 1, 2018, PGIM Investments has voluntarily agreed 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 0.60% of average daily net assets for Class R6 shares. This 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. 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. The effective management fee rate, net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.499% for the year ended April 30, 2018.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Z and Class R6 shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Distribution Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z and Class R6 shares of the Fund.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.25%, 0.50% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
52 |
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $338,506 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended April 30, 2018. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Fund that for the year ended April 30, 2018 it received $15, $23,956 and $8,954 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
PGIM Investments, PGIM, Inc. and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
3. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Fund may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board. For the year ended April 30, 2018, the Fund purchases and sales transactions under Rule 17a-7, were $16,505,022 and $9,303,185, respectively. There were no realized gains (losses) associated with these 17a-7 transactions during the reporting period.
4. Portfolio Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the year ended April 30, 2018, were $309,606,555 and $304,366,456, respectively.
5. Distributions and Tax Information
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-date. In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment transactions and paid-in capital in excess of par on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized loss on investment transactions. For the year ended April 30, 2018, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income and increase accumulated net realized loss on investment transactions by $1,068,996 due to the difference in the treatment of accreting market discount between financial and tax reporting
PGIM Muni High Income Fund | 53 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
and other book to tax differences. Net investment income, net realized loss on investment transactions and net assets were not affected by this change.
For the year ended April 30, 2018, the tax character of dividends paid was $32,675,055 of tax-exempt income and $929,867 of ordinary income. For the year ended April 30, 2017, the tax character of dividends paid was $34,052,192 of tax-exempt income and $160,380 of ordinary income.
As of April 30, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were $8,204,966 of tax-exempt income (includes timing difference of $417,424 for dividends payable) and $921,270 of ordinary income. This differs from the amount shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to cumulative timing differences between financial and tax reporting.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and net unrealized appreciation as of April 30, 2018 were as follows:
Tax Basis | Gross Appreciation | Gross | Net | |||
$805,017,639 | $41,167,579 | $(14,470,788) | $26,696,791 |
The difference between book and tax basis was primarily due to the difference between financial and tax reporting with respect to accretion of market discount and defaulted securities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses realized on or after May 1, 2011 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to taxable years ending before April 30, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Additionally, the Fund utilized approximately $5,537,000 of its capital loss carryforward during the year ended April 30, 2018. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of April 30, 2018, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
Post-Enactment Losses: | $ | 17,364,000 | ||
|
| |||
Pre-Enactment Losses: | ||||
Expiring 2019 | $ | 19,389,000 | ||
|
|
54 |
Management has analyzed the Fund’s 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 Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
6. Capital and Ownership
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Z and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00%. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1%, although they are not subject to an initial sales charge. The Class A CDSC is waived for certain retirement and/or benefit plans. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new purchases. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% on sales made within 12 months of purchase. Class Z and Class R6 shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.
Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of beneficial interest.
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each class at $0.01 par value divided into five classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Z and Class R6.
As of April 30, 2018, Prudential, through its affiliate entities, owned 1,014 Class R6 shares of the Fund. At reporting period end, six shareholders of record held 65% of the Fund’s outstanding shares on behalf of multiple beneficial owners.

7. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “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 SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period October 5, 2017 through October 4, 2018. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The Fund’s portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount, allocated based upon a method approved by the Board, is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Prior to October 5, 2017, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The interest on borrowings under the SCAs is paid monthly and at a per annum interest rate based upon a contractual spread plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the 1-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent.
Other 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 Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Fund did not utilize the SCA during the reporting period ended April 30, 2018.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Prudential Investment Portfolios 4:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of PGIM Muni High Income Fund (formerly Prudential Muni High Income Fund) (the “Fund”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 4, including the schedule of investments, as of April 30, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Retail investment companies since 2003.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
THE PGIM FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants
The Audit Committee of each PGIM Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve the independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
• | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
• | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
• | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed non-audit services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Such proposed non-audit services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services

Ø | Annual Fund financial statement audits |

Ø | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
Ø | Attestation Reports |
Ø | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories (except for fund merger support services) and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated). Fees related to fund merger support services are subject to a separate authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee with fees determined on a per occurrence and merger complexity basis.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

Ø | Timely RIC qualification reviews |

Ø | Accounting methods studies |
Ø | Fund merger support services |
Ø | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit
Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated).
Other Non-Audit Services
Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the PGIM Fund Complex
Certain non-audit services provided to PGIM Investments or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the PGIM Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to PGIM Investments and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to PGIM Investments and its affiliates.
(e) (2) Percentage of services referred to in 4(b) – 4(d) that were approved by the audit committee –
For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2018 and April 30, 2017: none.

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
