Company Overview:

PGIM is the diversified asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU).

Comprised of seven self-governing asset management divisions, each PGIM business offers a distinct workplace culture that aligns with the firm's ultimate objective: to provide premier service to our clients while fostering an inclusive workplace culture that is rooted in trust, respect and equality.

Our Business:

PGIM, Inc. operates internationally under the PGIM trading names. In Europe, a broad range of products and services is offered by PGIM Limited, PGIM Real Estate (UK) Limited and PGIM Private Capital Limited, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of PGIM, Inc. that are based in London and are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. These services include real estate debt and equity investment management, commercial mortgage lending, public and private fixed income investment management and corporate financing for professional investors. They are provided in a variety of product vehicles designed to suit investors' needs, including, but not limited to, AIF structures, segregated client accounts, QIFs, CLOs and UCITS funds. PGIM Limited also provides fund distribution services in addition to its investment management capabilities.

PGIM Limited's and/or PGIM Netherlands B.V.'s regulatory permissions are currently used by PGIM, Inc.'s US quantitative and active equity manager subsidiaries (PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC and Jennison Associates LLC respectively) to market their strategies to professional investors in Europe. Both businesses are in the process of expanding and establishing ongoing presence in London.
More generally, the extent of PGIM's operations and product offerings in Europe continues to increase as it responds to investor demands and political and regulatory developments in the region. This has led to the expansion of existing product ranges as well as the creation of innovative new products that combine PGIM's asset managers' disciplines and expertise. The Compliance resource required to support these initiatives has also increased.
