About SDMZX
PGIM Short Duration Multi-Sector Bond Fund Class Z is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating total return from a diversified mix of fixed income sectors while maintaining a short interest-rate profile. The strategy allocates across US government and agency securities, investment-grade and high-yield corporates, securitized assets, and tactically uses currency forwards and other derivatives to manage risk and enhance efficiency. It targets a limited duration profile—around two years—to help reduce sensitivity to rate moves relative to core bond funds, while accepting modestly higher credit and sector risk for incremental income. Class Z is an institutional share class with a below-average distribution fee level and a competitive net expense ratio, and the fund distributes income monthly. The portfolio has included sizable allocations to US Treasury notes alongside mortgage-backed and other securitized holdings, reflecting a balance between liquidity, credit selection, and short-term rate management. With multi-sector flexibility and short duration, the fund’s role in the market is to provide a defensive, income-oriented fixed income option that aims to navigate varying rate environments without relying on a single bond segment.
Performance
SDMZX had a total return of 5.45% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 2.86%.
