About EMDAX

The PGIM Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing total return by investing primarily in local-currency denominated debt securities within emerging markets. Its principal strategy involves allocating at least 80% of its assets to fixed-income instruments and currencies issued by sovereign and corporate entities in emerging economies. These investments typically include bonds, debt securities, and derivatives aimed at capturing opportunities from both interest rate movements and currency fluctuations in developing markets. The fund is managed by a team with deep expertise in emerging market debt and currency strategies, seeking to balance risk and reward in regions such as Latin America, Asia, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and beyond. By focusing on local currency debt, the fund provides exposure to both credit markets and the potential appreciation of emerging market currencies against the U.S. dollar. This makes the fund a specialized vehicle for investors looking to diversify portfolios with assets that may behave differently from traditional U.S. fixed-income or equity investments. The fund distributes dividends monthly and is designed to appeal to those seeking income and diversification through access to emerging market local debt markets.
