About PGIM Investments
PGIM launched an Irish domiciled UCITS platform in 2013 (PGIM Funds PLC) which currently has over $8.5billion in assets across 30 funds managed by PGIM Fixed Income, PGIM Real Estate, Jennison and PGIM Quantitative Solutions. These assets have come from third parties as well as PGIM seed capital.

PGIM has taken a strategic decision to aggressively pursue asset raising opportunities, particularly in the global retail markets where it has not been prominent to date. PGIM will develop relationships with third party distributors outside the US, with a primary focus on EMEA but also seeking opportunities in Asia, Japan & South America. Relationships with distributors of Prudential’s retail mutual fund family in the US will be leveraged. The range of funds available in the UCITS vehicle is being expanded to include further funds managed by the PGIM investment management businesses and PGIM endeavours to obtain an AIFM license as well as a MIFID top up.

The UCITS initiative and the legacy QIF platform propelled the need to create a dedicated group within PGIM Investments, PGIM Investments International, that is focused on (i) development, management and servicing of the distribution relationships; (ii) operational support for the day-to-day activities of the fund including on-going supervision of outsourced service providers; (iii) management of the extensive governance requirements of the fund; and (iv) maintenance and development of the fund structure from a legal and regulatory point of view.
