About PDHQX

PGIM Emerging Markets Debt Hard Currency Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving total return through a blend of current income and capital appreciation. Its primary strategy is to invest in debt securities issued by sovereign and corporate entities in emerging markets, with a key emphasis on securities denominated in hard currencies such as the US dollar. This approach aims to reduce the local currency risk inherent in many emerging market investments, making the fund especially relevant for those seeking exposure to the growth potential of developing economies while managing currency volatility. The fund holds a diversified portfolio, utilizing derivatives and forward contracts to manage risk and enhance yield, and it is managed by a team with substantial experience in emerging market debt. With a competitive expense ratio and a typical yield in the mid-6% range, this fund is positioned in the lower cost quintile among peers, which may enhance its appeal for institutional investors and retirement plans. By focusing on hard currency debt, the fund plays an important role in the market as a tool for accessing higher-yielding fixed-income opportunities outside of developed markets, while aiming to preserve capital and offer regular income distributions.
