Example. The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated, redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (except that fee waivers or reimbursements, if any, are only reflected in the 1-Year figures) and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

	If Shares Are Redeemed				If Shares Are Not Redeemed
Share Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$674	$1,116	$1,582	$2,868	$674	$1,116	$1,582	$2,868
Class B	$723	$1,309	$2,216	$3,933	$223	$1,009	$2,116	$3,933
Class C	$304	$843	$1,506	$3,283	$204	$843	$1,506	$3,283
Class Z	$96	$423	$774	$1,763	$96	$423	$774	$1,763
Class R6†	$87	$395	$726	$1,663	$87	$395	$726	$1,663

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 96% of the average value of its portfolio.

INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in real assets that may perform well in periods of high inflation. Real return is the rate of return after adjusting for inflation. The Fund invests in real assets through its investments within the following asset classes: commodities; domestic and international real estate; utilities/infrastructure; natural resources; master limited partnerships (MLPs); fixed income instruments; and gold/defensive.

The Fund gains exposure to the real asset classes by investing in varying combinations of other PGIM mutual funds (the Underlying Funds); the Cayman Subsidiary; and direct investments in securities (such as equity and equity-related securities, including common stock, convertible securities, nonconvertible preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts, warrants and other rights that can be exercised to obtain stock, preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), notes and bonds and certain financial and derivative instruments, including futures). The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund’s asset allocation strategy is determined by Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), one of the Fund’s subadvisers. QMA utilizes a dynamic asset allocation strategy among the real asset classes to seek to provide attractive risk adjusted real return. QMA utilizes a dynamic asset allocation process that makes tactical allocation decisions based on portfolio management judgment which incorporates factors such as current market and economic conditions, risk, and valuation. This analyzes the momentum of asset class prices, their volatility and their correlations to each other and adapts the asset class allocations to reflect the current market environment. Finally, QMA’s portfolio managers overlay their judgment over the analysis to incorporate data and information that they believe may also impact future asset class returns.

QMA may tactically adjust the asset allocation ranges among the real asset classes within the following approximate ranges: commodities (0% to 50%), real estate (0% to 50%), utilities/infrastructure (0% to 40%), natural resources (0% to 40%), fixed income (0% to 60%), MLPs (0% to 20%), and gold/defensive (0% to 40%). Additionally, the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds may range from 0% to 100% of the Fund’s assets. As of October 31, 2017, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately to each asset class as follows: commodities (15.48%), real estate (24.65%), utilities/infrastructure (13.36%), natural resources (11.30%), fixed income (26.18%), MLPs (5.24%), and gold/defensive (3.79%).

Commodity Asset Class. The Fund gains exposure to the commodities asset class through investment of the Fund’s assets directly or in the Cayman Subsidiary. The manager has retained QMA to serve as subadviser for the commodity asset class. Their strategy seeks to generate returns over a market cycle in excess of the Bloomberg Commodity Index using a systematic, factor-based investment process.

The Fund gains exposure to the commodity markets primarily through exchange-traded futures on commodities held by the Cayman Subsidiary. The Fund may invest up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary may invest in commodity investments without limit. The Fund invests in the Cayman Subsidiary in order to gain exposure to commodities within the limitations of the federal tax law requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (RICs) such as the Fund. The Cayman Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund. The Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary will test for compliance with certain investment restrictions and limitations on a consolidated basis. If QMA, as asset allocator, directs more than approximately 25% of the Fund’s total assets to the commodity asset class, then QMA may invest the Fund’s assets directly. The Fund may obtain exposure to commodity markets by investing directly in commodity-linked structured notes (CLNs), ETFs and exchange traded notes (ETNs) whose returns are linked to commodities or commodity indices within the limits of applicable tax law.

Segregation of Assets. As an open-end investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund is subject to the federal securities laws, including the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the rules thereunder, and various interpretive positions of the SEC and the staff of the SEC. In accordance with these laws, rules and positions, the Fund must set aside unencumbered cash or liquid securities, or engage in other measures, to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of derivative instruments. This practice is often referred to as “asset segregation.” In the case of futures contracts that are not contractually required to cash settle, for example, the Fund must set aside liquid assets equal to such contracts’ full notional value while the positions are open, except as described below. With respect to futures contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, however, the Fund is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily mark-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts’ full notional value. Futures contracts and forward contracts that settle physically will be treated as cash settled for asset segregation purposes when the Fund has entered into contractual arrangements with third party futures commission merchants or other counterparties or brokers that provide for cash settlement of these obligations.

The Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions from time to time articulated by the SEC or its staff regarding asset segregation. The Fund generally will use its unencumbered cash and cash equivalents to cover its obligations as required by the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, and applicable SEC and SEC staff interpretive positions. The manager and the subadviser will monitor the Fund’s use of derivatives or other investments that require asset segregation and will take action as necessary for the purpose of complying with the asset segregation policy stated above. Such actions may include the sale of the Fund’s portfolio investments.

Real Estate, Utilities/Infrastructure, Natural Resources, MLPs, and Fixed Income Asset Classes. The Fund invests in the shares of the named Underlying Funds to obtain exposure to the real asset classes as noted: real estate (PGIM US Real Estate Fund, PGIM Global Real Estate Fund, PGIM Select Real Estate Fund and/or PGIM Real Estate Income Fund), utilities/infrastructure (PGIM Jennison Global Infrastructure Fund and/or PGIM Jennison Utility Fund), natural resources (PGIM Jennison Natural Resources Fund), and MLPs (PGIM Jennison MLP Fund). For the fixed income asset class, QMA may select from the following Underlying Funds to obtain fixed income exposure in addition to the direct investments made in the fixed income asset class, as further described below: PGIM Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, PGIM Absolute Return Bond Fund, PGIM Short Duration High Yield Income Fund and PGIM Floating Rate Income Fund. Each Underlying Fund invests primarily in securities or other instruments suggested by such Underlying Fund’s name. Each Underlying Fund is managed by PGIM Investments LLC. Each of the Underlying Funds that may be used in the fixed income asset class is subadvised by PGIM Fixed Income, a business unit of PGIM, Inc. (PGIM). The PGIM US Real Estate Fund, the PGIM Global Real Estate Fund, the PGIM Select Real Estate Fund and the PGIM Real Estate Income Fund are each subadvised by PGIM Real Estate, a business unit of PGIM. The PGIM Jennison

Utility Fund, the PGIM Jennison Natural Resources Fund and the PGIM Jennison MLP Fund are each subadvised by Jennison Associates LLC. More detailed information appears in the section entitled “More About the Fund’s Principal and Non-Principal Investment Strategies, Investments and Risks.”

The Fund invests in the Class R6 shares of the named Underlying Funds. If any Underlying Fund does not offer Class R6 shares, the Fund will invest in Class Z shares of such Underlying Fund.

Fixed Income Asset Class. In addition to the Underlying Funds noted above, the Fund invests directly in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the US Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, consisting principally of US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (referred to herein collectively as TIPS). PGIM Fixed Income manages the Fund’s direct assets that are allocated to this asset class, and serves as the subadviser to each of the Underlying Funds that are investment options for this asset class. For its direct investments, PGIM Fixed Income utilizes a conservative, quantitatively-driven strategy that seeks minimal risk versus the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation Protected Index, while attempting to capture excess return through security selection. The asset class may also gain indirect exposure to TIPS through derivative transactions (such as utilizing zero coupon inflation swaps) and may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. This asset class will invest in bonds with varying maturities. The asset class will directly purchase only those bonds rated at least investment grade (bonds rated Baa and higher by Moody’s Investors Service or BBB and higher by S&P Global Ratings or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by PGIM Fixed Income).

Gold/Defensive Asset Class. The Fund gains exposure to the gold/defensive asset class through investment of the Fund’s assets directly or in the Cayman Subsidiary. QMA manages the Fund’s assets that are allocated to the gold/defensive asset class. The objective of the gold/defensive asset class is to provide exposure to gold-related securities and other defensive assets. To obtain the desired gold exposure, QMA may invest the Fund’s assets that are allocated to this asset class in a portfolio of relatively large, liquid gold mining stocks, most of which are included in the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. To reduce the equity exposure associated with these stocks, the gold/defensive asset class may obtain exposure to the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) and cash or cash equivalents. The VIX measures the implied volatility (i.e., estimated future volatility) of the S&P 500 Index options. The Fund may also invest in ETFs, swaps, futures contracts and other derivatives and/or ETNs. QMA also may invest through the Cayman Subsidiary in gold-related derivatives that would otherwise generate non-qualifying income for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) (e.g., gold futures).

Principal Risks. All investments have risks to some degree. An investment in the Fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original investment.

Set forth below is a description of the principal risks associated with an investment in the Fund either through direct investments or indirectly through the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds.

Market Risk. Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

Asset Allocation Risk. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the Fund’s assets may be allocated to an asset class that underperforms other asset classes. For example, fixed income securities may underperform equities.

Fund of Funds Risk. The value of an investment in the Fund will be related, to a degree, to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Fund are closely related to the principal risks associated with these Underlying Funds and their investments. Because the Fund’s allocation among different Underlying Funds and direct investments in securities and derivatives will vary, an investment in the Fund may be subject to any and all of these risks at different times and to different degrees. Investing in an Underlying

6	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Fund will also expose the Fund to a pro rata portion of the Underlying Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing the investment purpose.

Affiliated Funds Risk. The Fund’s manager serves as the manager of the Underlying Funds. It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and the Underlying Funds could impact the manager and subadvisers. Because the amount of the investment management fees to be retained by the manager and the subadvisers may differ depending upon the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests, there is a conflict of interest for the manager and the subadvisers in selecting the Underlying Funds. In addition, the manager and the subadvisers may have an incentive to take into account the effect on an Underlying Fund in which the Fund may invest in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in that Underlying Fund. Although the manager and the subadvisers take steps to address the conflicts of interest, it is possible that the conflicts could impact the Fund. In addition, the subadvisers may invest in Underlying Funds that have a limited or no performance history.

Asset Class Variation Risk. The Underlying Funds invest principally in the securities constituting their asset class (i.e., domestic or international real estate, utilities, infrastructure, natural resources, MLPs and various types of fixed-income investments). However, under normal market conditions, an Underlying Fund may vary the percentage of its assets in these securities (subject to any applicable regulatory requirements). Depending upon the percentage of securities in a particular asset class held by the Underlying Funds at any given time and the percentage of the Fund’s assets invested in the Underlying Funds, the Fund’s actual exposure to the securities in a particular asset class may vary substantially from its allocation to that asset class.

Management Risk. Actively managed mutual funds are subject to management risk. The subadvisers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these techniques will produce the desired results. Additionally, the securities or Underlying Funds selected by the manager and/or subadvisers may underperform the markets in general, the Fund’s benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Deflation Risk. During periods of deflation, prices throughout the economy may decline over time, which may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers in whose securities the Fund invests. Additionally, since the Fund makes investments that may perform well in periods of rising inflation, during periods of no inflation or deflation an investment in the Fund may underperform broad market measures and may lose value.

Credit Risk/Counterparty Risk. The ability, or perceived ability, of the issuer or guarantor of a debt security, or the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) to a derivatives contract or other financial contract, to meet its financial obligations will affect the value of the security or derivative. Counterparty risk is especially important in the context of privately negotiated instruments. The Fund expects to enter into certain privately negotiated agreements where the counterparty assumes the physical settlement obligations of the Fund under such transactions. Under this type of arrangement, there is a risk that the relevant counterparty or intermediary would, due to insolvency or other reasons, be unable to or fail to assume the physical settlement obligations of the Fund, in which case the Fund could be required to sell portfolio instruments at unfavorable times or prices or could have insufficient assets to satisfy its physical settlement obligations.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. In addition, if a security that the Fund holds is prepaid during a period of falling interest rates, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in lower-yielding investments. Interest rate risk is generally greater in the case of securities with longer durations and in the case of portfolios of securities with longer average durations. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk since the US Federal Reserve Board has ended its quantitative easing program and may continue to raise rates. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.

Inflation-indexed bonds, such as TIPS, generally decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, TIPS may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations. In addition, any increase in principal value of an inflation-indexed bond caused by an increase in the price index is taxable in the year the increase occurs, even though the Fund generally will not receive cash representing the increase at that time. As a result, the Fund could be required at times to liquidate other investments, including when it is not advantageous to do so, in order to satisfy its distribution requirements as a regulated investment company under the Code. Also, to the extent that the Fund invests in inflation-indexed bonds, income distributions are more likely to fluctuate.

Liquidity Risk. The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the instrument at all. The reduction in dealer market-making capacity in the fixed-income markets that has occurred in recent years also has the potential to reduce liquidity. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

Commodity Risk. The values of commodities and commodity-linked investments are affected by events that might have less impact on the value of stocks and bonds. Such investments may be speculative. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including weather, crop or livestock disease, investment speculation, resource availability, fluctuations in industrial and commercial supply and demand, US agricultural, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, embargoes, tariffs, and international political, economic, military and regulatory developments. These risks may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional instruments or securities. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to a variety of factors, including participation of speculators, government intervention and regulation, and certain lack of liquidity in the markets.

Real Estate Risk. The Fund’s investment in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the performance of the real estate markets. The value of real estate securities in general, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) in particular, is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “subprime” mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property, interest rates and, with respect to REITs, the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. The Fund will indirectly bear a portion of the expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests, in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Real Estate Investment Trust Risk. The Fund’s investment in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risk of REITs. An investment in a REIT may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. In addition, an investment in a REIT is subject to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Code, and to the effect of general declines in stock prices. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming. As a shareholder in a REIT, the Fund and its shareholders could bear its ratable share of the REIT’s expenses and would at the same time continue to pay its own fees and expenses. In addition, REITs may incur significant amounts of leverage.

Utilities/Infrastructure Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting infrastructure investments, particularly investments in the utilities sector. In most countries and localities, the utilities industry is regulated by governmental entities, which can increase costs and delays for new projects and make it difficult to pass increased costs on to consumers. In certain areas, deregulation of utilities has resulted in increased competition and reduced profitability for certain companies, and increased the risk that a particular company will become bankrupt or fail completely. Reduced profitability, as well as new uses for or additional need of funds (such as for expansion, operations or stock buybacks), could result in reduced dividend payout rates for utilities companies. In addition, utilities companies face the risk of increases in the cost and reduced availability of fuel (such as oil, coal, natural gas or nuclear energy) and potentially high interest costs for borrowing to finance new projects. Issuers in other types of infrastructure-related businesses also are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, and other factors.

Natural Resources Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risk of investment in natural resource companies. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including events occurring in nature, inflationary pressures and international politics. For example, events occurring in nature (such as earthquakes or fires in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as coups, military confrontations or acts of terrorism) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which non-US securities are subject may affect domestic companies if they have significant operations or investments in non-US countries. In addition, rising interest rates and general economic conditions may affect the demand for natural resources.

Non-US Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-US issuers or issuers with significant exposure to non-US markets and its investments in Underlying Funds that have exposure to non-US markets involve additional risk. Non-US countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as non-US markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by non-US investors, or that prevent non-US investors from withdrawing their money at will. Countries with emerging markets can be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa.

Cayman Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiary’s investments. The Cayman Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. The IRS has proposed regulations that if finalized in current form would require the Cayman Subsidiary to distribute its income on an annual basis in order for such income to be considered qualifying RIC income for tax purposes. Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands, under which the Cayman Subsidiary is incorporated, could result in the inability of the Fund to effect its desired commodity investment strategy.

Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. The Fund may invest in leveraged or unleveraged CLNs to gain exposure to the commodities markets. CLNs are subject to counterparty risk. The value of the CLNs may fluctuate significantly because the values of the investments to which they are linked are volatile. In addition, the terms of a CLN may create economic leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the

Visit our website at www.pgiminvestments.com

9

underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable. Economic leverage increases the volatility of CLNs and their value may increase or decrease more quickly than the value of the underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable.

Non-Diversified Investment Company Risk. The Fund and certain of the Underlying Funds are “non-diversified,” meaning they can invest more than 5% of their assets in the securities of any one issuer. Funds that are “non-diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, such as the Fund and certain of the Underlying Funds, may invest a greater percentage of their assets in securities of a single issuer. Because the Fund invests in a smaller number of issuers, it may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than a diversified fund might be.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund and the Underlying Funds. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund and the Underlying Funds will depend on the subadvisers’ ability to analyze and manage derivatives transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’s derivatives positions. In fact, many over-the-counter derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Over-the-counter derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund.

The US Government and foreign governments are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, or otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

Distribution Risk. The Fund’s distributions may consist of net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, from the sale of investments and/or return of capital. The Fund will provide to shareholders early in each calendar year the final tax character of the Fund’s distributions for the previous year. Also, at such time that a Fund distribution is expected to be from sources other than current or accumulated net income, a notice to shareholders may be required.

Leverage Risk. Certain transactions in which the Fund or an Underlying Fund may engage may give rise to leverage. The use of leverage exaggerates the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s holdings, and makes any change in the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) greater than it would be without the use of leverage. This could result in increased volatility of investment returns.

Currency Risk. The Fund’s and the Underlying Funds' NAVs could decline as a result of changes in exchange rates, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in currencies, or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues related to currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to currencies. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.

Hedging Risk. The decision as to whether and to what extent the Fund or an Underlying Fund will engage in hedging transactions to hedge against certain risks, such as market risk and issuer risk, will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, the composition of the portfolio of the Fund or the Underlying Fund, and the availability of suitable transactions. Hedging transactions involve costs and may result in losses. There is no guarantee that any of these hedging instruments would work as anticipated, and in certain cases the Fund or an Underlying Fund might be better off had it not used a hedging instrument. There can be no assurance that the Fund or the Underlying Fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time or from time to time, even under volatile market environments, or that any such strategies, if used, will be successful.

Tax Risk. In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC, the Fund could be subject to federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders). When distributed, that income would also be taxable to shareholders as an ordinary dividend to the extent attributable to the Fund’s earnings and profits. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to federal income tax, shareholders of the Fund would be subject to diminished returns.

The Fund has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) stating that income derived from the Fund’s investment in the Cayman Subsidiary will constitute qualifying income to the Fund. The Cayman Subsidiary will not be subject to US federal income tax. The Cayman Subsidiary will, however, be considered a controlled foreign corporation, and the Fund will be required to include as income annually amounts earned by the Cayman Subsidiary during that year. The IRS has proposed regulations that if finalized in current form would require the Cayman Subsidiary to distribute its net profit to the Fund on an annual basis in order for such income to be considered qualifying RIC income for tax purposes. Furthermore, the Fund will be subject to the distribution requirement applicable to open-end investment companies on such Cayman Subsidiary income, whether or not the Cayman Subsidiary makes a distribution to the Fund during the taxable year.

One of the Underlying Funds, the PGIM Jennison MLP Fund, is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for federal income tax purposes. This means that the PGIM Jennison MLP Fund is generally subject to US federal income tax on its taxable income at the rates applicable to corporations and also subject to state and local income taxes. This is a relatively new strategy for mutual funds and may have unexpected and potentially significant consequences for shareholders, including the Fund.

Multi-Manager Risk. While the manager monitors the investments of each subadviser and monitors the overall management of the Fund, each subadviser makes investment decisions for the asset classes it manages independently from one another. It is possible that the investment styles used by a subadviser in an asset class will not always be complementary to those used by others, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

Commodity Regulatory Risk. The Fund is deemed a “commodity pool” and the manager is considered a “commodity pool operator” with respect to the Fund under the Commodity Exchange Act. The manager, directly or through its affiliates, is therefore subject to dual regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). The regulatory requirements governing the use of commodity futures (which include futures on broad-based securities indexes, interest rate futures and currency futures), options on commodity futures, certain swaps or certain other investments could change at any time.

Energy Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risks of adverse economic, environmental, business, regulatory or other occurrences affecting the energy sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others, fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced consumer demand for commodities such as oil, natural gas or petroleum products; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.

Master Limited Partnerships Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risks of MLPs. An MLP is an investment that combines the tax benefits of a limited partnership with the liquidity of publicly-traded securities. The risks of investing in an MLP are generally those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded investors in an MLP than investors in a corporation. Investments held by MLPs may be relatively illiquid, limiting the MLPs’ ability to vary their portfolios promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. MLPs may have limited financial resources, their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price

movements than securities of larger or more broadly-based companies. Investments by the Fund in certain Underlying Funds that invest in MLPs may also subject the Fund to the risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the MLPs invest, risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. MLPs are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. Since MLPs generally conduct business in multiple states, through its investment in certain Underlying Funds, the Fund may be subject to income or franchise tax in each of the states in which the partnership does business. The additional cost of preparing and filing the tax returns and paying the related taxes may adversely impact the Fund’s return on its investment in certain Underlying Funds.

Bond Obligations Risk. As with credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk, the Fund's holdings, share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed-income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same level and therefore would earn less income.

Risks of Small and Medium Sized Companies. Small and medium capitalization companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, their prices may fluctuate more than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Historically, small and mid-cap companies have sometimes gone through extended periods when they did not perform as well as larger companies. Small and mid-cap companies generally are less liquid than larger companies, which may make such investments more difficult to sell at the time and price that the Fund would like.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. The values of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities become more volatile as interest rates rise. In a period of declining interest rates, the Fund may be required to reinvest more frequent prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments in lower-yielding investments. In addition to interest rate risk, investments in mortgage-backed securities composed of subprime mortgages may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk and liquidity risk.

US Government and Agency Securities Risk. US Government and agency securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Not all US Government securities are insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government; some are only insured or guaranteed by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt. In addition, Connecticut Avenue Securities issued by Fannie Mae and Structured Agency Credit Risk issued by Freddie Mac carry no guarantee whatsoever and the risk of default associated with these securities would be borne by the Fund or an Underlying Fund. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some US Government securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the US Treasury. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In addition, the value of US Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the US Government.

Junk Bonds Risk. High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to be less liquid than higher-rated securities. The liquidity of particular issuers or industries within a particular investment category may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning. The non-investment grade bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings and become illiquid due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large sustained sales by major investors, a high profile default or a change in the market's psychology.

12	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Economic and Market Events Risk. Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the US Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.

Risk of Increase in Expenses. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.

Performance. The following bar chart shows the Fund's performance for Class Z shares for each full calendar year of operations or for the last 10 calendar years, whichever is shorter. The following table shows the average annual returns of each of the Fund’s share classes and also compares the Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark and a group of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and table demonstrate the risk of investing in the Fund by showing how returns can change from year to year.

Past performance (before and after taxes) does not mean that the Fund will achieve similar results in the future. Updated Fund performance information is available online at www.pgiminvestments.com.

MORE ABOUT THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL AND NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, INVESTMENTS AND RISKS

INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term real return.

Real return is the rate of return after adjusting for inflation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in real assets that may perform well during periods of high inflation. The Fund invests in real assets through its investments in the following asset classes: commodities; domestic and international real estate; utilities/infrastructure; natural resources; master limited partnerships (MLPs); fixed income instruments; and gold/defensive. The Fund gains exposure to the real return asset classes by investing in varying combinations of: Underlying PGIM Funds; the Cayman Subsidiary; and securities (such as equity and equity related securities, including common stock, convertible securities, nonconvertible preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts, warrants and other rights that can be exercised to obtain stock, preferred stocks, ETFs, notes and bonds) and certain financial and derivative instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy, and therefore may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. The Board can change investment policies that are not fundamental without shareholder approval.

Asset Allocation

The Fund’s asset allocation strategy is determined by Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), one of the Fund’s subadvisers. QMA utilizes a dynamic asset allocation strategy among the real asset classes to seek to provide attractive risk adjusted real return. QMA utilizes a dynamic asset allocation process that makes tactical allocation decisions based on portfolio management judgment which incorporates factors such as current market and economic conditions, risk, and valuation. This analyzes the momentum of asset class prices, their volatility and their correlations to each other and adapts the asset class allocations to reflect the current market environment. Finally, QMA’s portfolio managers overlay their judgment over the analysis to incorporate data and information that they believe may also impact future asset class returns.

QMA may tactically adjust the asset allocation ranges among the real asset classes within the following approximate ranges: commodities (0% to 50%), real estate (0% to 50%), utilities/infrastructure (0% to 40%), natural resources (0% to 40%), fixed income (0% to 60%), MLPs (0% to 20%), and gold/defensive (0% to 40%). Additionally, the Fund’s investments in the Underlying PGIM Funds may range from 0% to 100% of the Fund’s assets. As of October 31, 2017, the Fund’s assets were allocated approximately to each asset class as follows: commodities (15.48%), real estate (24.65%), utilities/infrastructure (13.36%), natural resources (11.30%), fixed income (26.18%), MLPs (5.24%), and gold/defensive (3.79%).

Commodity Asset Class. The Fund gains exposure to the commodities asset class through investment of the Fund’s assets directly or in the Cayman Subsidiary. The manager has retained QMA to serve as subadviser for the commodity asset class. Their strategy seeks to generate returns over a market cycle in excess of the Bloomberg Commodity Index using a systematic, factor-based investment process.

The Fund expects that most of its investments in the commodity asset class will be through exchange-traded futures on commodities held by its Cayman Subsidiary. The Fund may also invest directly in CLNs linked to commodity indices, ETFs and ETNs whose returns are linked to commodities or commodity indices, within the limits of applicable tax law. The Fund has received a private letter ruling from the IRS that income and gains earned from investments in a certain type of CLN substantially similar to CLNs in which the Fund may invest constitute qualifying income under the Code.

16	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Cayman Subsidiary. The Fund gains exposure to commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary invests primarily in exchange traded futures on commodities in order to track the performance of the Bloomberg Commodity Index, as determined by QMA, among other assets and investments. The Cayman Subsidiary will also invest in high quality, short-term instruments, which may include positions in US Treasury securities, government agency debt and money market funds, which are intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Cayman Subsidiary’s futures positions. To the extent that the Fund invests in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund may be subject to the risks associated with those futures positions and other securities, which are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

 The Cayman Subsidiary is managed pursuant to compliance policies and procedures that are the same, in all material respects, as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund. As a result, the manager and subadviser, in managing the Cayman Subsidiary’s portfolio, are subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to the management of the Fund, and, in particular, to the requirements relating to portfolio leverage, liquidity, brokerage, and the timing and method of the valuation of the Cayman Subsidiary’s portfolio investments and shares of the Cayman Subsidiary. These policies and restrictions are described in detail in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer oversees implementation of the Cayman Subsidiary’s policies and procedures, and makes periodic reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees regarding the Cayman Subsidiary’s compliance with its policies and procedures. The Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary will test for compliance with certain investment restrictions on a consolidated basis.

 The Cayman Subsidiary has entered into separate contracts with the manager and QMA whereby the manager and subadviser provide investment advisory and other services to the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary has also entered into separate contracts for the provision of custody, transfer agency, and audit services with the same or with affiliates of the same service providers that provide those services to the Fund.

The Fund has received a private letter ruling from the IRS stating that income earned by the Cayman Subsidiary will constitute qualifying income when deemed distributed to the Fund. The Cayman Subsidiary will not be subject to US federal income tax. The Cayman Subsidiary will, however, be considered a controlled foreign corporation, and the Fund will be required to include as income annually amounts earned by the Cayman Subsidiary during that year. The IRS has proposed regulations that if finalized in current form would require the Cayman Subsidiary to distribute its net profit to the Fund on an annual basis in order for such income to be considered qualifying RIC income for tax purposes. Furthermore, the Fund will be subject to the distribution requirement applicable to open-end investment companies on such Cayman Subsidiary income, whether or not the Cayman Subsidiary makes a distribution to the Fund during the taxable year.

The financial statements of the Cayman Subsidiary are consolidated with those of the Fund, which appear in the Fund’s Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to shareholders. The Fund’s Annual and Semi-Annual Reports are distributed to shareholders, and copies of the reports will be provided without charge upon request as indicated on the back cover of this prospectus. Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for additional information about the organization and management of the Cayman Subsidiary.

The Fund will not concentrate in any one industry, provided that investment companies are not considered an industry for purposes of this policy, and provided further that the Fund’s investment in an investment company that concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of industries will not be considered an investment by the Fund in that particular industry or group of industries. The Fund will consider the individual commodities that comprise the Bloomberg Commodity Index to be separate industries for purposes of the concentration policy.

Real Estate, Utilities/Infrastructure, Natural Resources, MLPs and Fixed-Income Asset Classes. The Fund invests in shares of certain Underlying Funds to obtain exposure to the following asset classes:

Utilities/Infrastructure	PGIM Jennison Utility Fund(2)	The Fund seeks total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its investable assets in equity and equity-related and investment-grade debt securities of utility companies. Utility companies include electric utilities, gas utilities, water utilities, multi-utilities, independent power producers, diversified telecommunication services, wireless telecommunication services, and oil & gas storage and transportation. Some of these securities are issued by foreign companies. The Fund follows a value investment style. The Fund is non-diversified.
	PGIM Jennison Global Infrastructure Fund(2)	The Fund seeks total return. The Fund normally will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in securities of US and foreign (non-US based) infrastructure companies. The Fund will consider a company an infrastructure company if the company is categorized, based on the Global Industry Classification Standards (“GICS”) industry classifications, as they may be amended from time to time, within the following industries: Aerospace and Defense, Air Freight and Logistics, Airlines, Building Products, Commercial Services and Supplies, Communications Equipment, Construction and Engineering, Construction Equipment, Diversified Telecommunication Services, Electrical Equipment, Electric Utilities, Energy Equipment and Services, Gas Utilities, Health Care Providers and Services, Independent Power Producers and Energy Traders, Industrial Conglomerates, Machinery, Marine, Metals and Mining, Multi-Utilities, Oil, Gas and Consumable Fuels, Rail and Road, Transportation Infrastructure, Water Utilities and Wireless Telecommunication Services.

18	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Underlying Funds
Asset Class	Name of Underlying Fund	Investment Objective and Investment Strategies of Underlying Fund
Fixed Income	PGIM Absolute Return Bond Fund(3)	The Fund seeks positive returns over the long term, regardless of market conditions. The Fund has a flexible investment strategy and will invest in a variety of securities and instruments. The Fund will also use a variety of investment techniques in pursuing its investment objective, which may include managing duration, credit quality, yield curve positioning and currency exposure, as well as sector and security selection. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its investable assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in debt securities and/or investments that provide exposure to bonds.
	PGIM Floating Rate Income Fund(3)	The primary investment objective of the Fund is to maximize current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective, but only when consistent with the Fund's primary investment objective of seeking to maximize current income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its investable assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Floating rate loans are debt obligations that have interest rates which adjust or “float” periodically (normally on a monthly or quarterly basis) based on a generally recognized base rate such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the prime rate offered by one or more major US banks.
	PGIM Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Inc.(3)	The Fund seeks high current income consistent with the preservation of principal. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its investable assets in bonds of corporations with varying maturities. For purposes of this policy, bonds include all fixed-income securities, other than preferred stock, and corporations include all private issuers. The effective duration of the Fund's portfolio will generally be less than three years. The Fund will buy and sell securities to take advantage of investment opportunities based on the subadviser's fundamental credit research, as well as analysis of market conditions, interest rates and general economic factors.
	PGIM Short Duration High Yield Income Fund(3)	The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income. The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed-income instruments that are rated below investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or, if unrated, are considered by the investment subadviser to be of comparable quality. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed-income instruments that are below investment grade with varying maturities and other investments (including derivatives) with similar economic characteristics.

The Fund purchases Class R6 shares of the Underlying Funds. If an Underlying Fund does not offer Class R6 shares, then the Fund will invest in Class Z shares of the Underlying Fund. Class R6 and Class Z shares are sold without a sales load or distribution fee to a limited group of investors and have lower operating expenses than other classes of shares.

Consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, from time to time the manager and QMA may add other Underlying PGIM Funds to, or remove current Underlying PGIM Funds from, the list of Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest, subject to Board approval.

Fixed Income Asset Class. In addition to the Underlying Funds noted above, the Fund invests directly in TIPS. PGIM Fixed Income manages the Fund’s direct assets that are allocated to this asset class, and serves as the subadviser to each of the Underlying PGIM Funds that are investment options for this asset class. For its direct investments, PGIM Fixed Income utilizes a conservative, quantitatively-driven strategy that seeks minimal risk versus the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation Protected Index, while attempting to capture excess return through security selection.

In managing the assets allocated to this asset class, the subadviser uses a combination of top-down economic analysis and bottom-up research in conjunction with proprietary quantitative models and risk management systems. In the top-down economic analysis, the subadviser develops views on economic, policy and market trends by continually evaluating economic data that affect the movement of markets and securities prices. This top-down macroeconomic analysis is integrated into the subadviser’s bottom-up research which informs security selection. In its bottom-up research, the subadviser develops an internal rating and outlook on issuers. The rating and outlook is determined based on a complete review of the financial health and trends of the issuer, which include a review of the composition of revenue, profitability, cash flow margin, and leverage.

The subadviser may also consider investment factors such as expected total return, yield, spread and potential for price appreciation as well as credit quality, maturity and risk. The Fund may invest in a security based upon the expected total return rather than the yield of such security.

The subadviser may also utilize proprietary quantitative tools to support relative value trading and asset allocation for portfolio management as well as various risk models to support risk management.

The fixed income asset class may also gain indirect exposure to TIPS through derivative transactions and may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. This asset class will invest in bonds with varying maturities of any duration. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a security to changes in interest rates. The fixed income asset class will directly purchase only those bonds rated at least investment grade (bonds rated Baa and higher by Moody’s Investors Service or BBB and higher by S&P Global Ratings or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by PGIM).

Gold/Defensive Asset Class. The Fund gains exposure to the gold/defensive asset class through investment of the Fund’s assets directly or in the Cayman Subsidiary. QMA manages the gold/defensive asset class. The objective of the gold/defensive asset class is to provide exposure to gold-related securities and other defensive assets. To obtain the desired gold exposure, QMA invests the Fund’s assets allocated to this asset class in a portfolio of relatively large, liquid gold mining stocks, most of which are included in the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, a modified market capitalization weighted index comprised of publicly traded companies involved primarily in the mining of gold and silver. To reduce the equity exposure associated with these stocks, the Fund may obtain exposure to the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (“VIX”) by investing in ETFs, swaps, futures contracts and other derivatives and/or exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). The VIX measures the implied volatility (i.e., estimated future volatility) of the S&P 500 Index options. The VIX tends to be negatively correlated with shorter-term movements in the stock market.

QMA may invest through the Cayman Subsidiary in gold-related derivatives (e.g., futures contracts on gold) that would otherwise generate non-qualifying income for purposes of the Code. QMA may only invest in the Cayman Subsidiary to the extent that QMA, as asset allocator, has allocated less than 25% of the Fund’s assets to the commodity asset class. As noted above, the Fund has received a private letter ruling from the IRS that income and gains produced by the Fund’s investments in a certain type of CLN substantially similar to CLNs in which the Fund may invest constitute qualifying income under the Code.

The Fund and the Underlying PGIM Funds engage in the principal investment strategies outlined below. References to the Fund also include the Underlying PGIM Funds, as appropriate.

Derivative Strategies

Derivatives are financial instruments whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of something else, such as one or more underlying investments, indexes or currencies. We may use various derivative strategies to try to improve the Fund’s returns. We may also use hedging techniques to try to protect the Fund’s assets. With derivatives, we try to predict if the underlying investment—a security, market index, currency, interest rate or some other benchmark—will go up or down at some future date. We will consider other factors (such as cost) in deciding whether to employ any particular strategy or technique, or use any particular instrument. Derivatives may be traded on organized exchanges, or in individually negotiated transactions with other parties (these are known as “over-the-counter” derivatives). When the Fund uses derivative strategies, the Fund designates certain assets as

20	PGIM Real Assets Fund

segregated or otherwise covers its exposure, as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Fund has the flexibility to make use of derivatives, it may choose not to for a variety of reasons, even under very volatile market conditions.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts and related options on financial futures. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a set quantity of an underlying asset at a future date, or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index, or some other asset, at a stipulated future date. The terms of futures contracts are standardized. In the case of a financial futures contract based upon a broad index, there is no delivery of the securities comprising the underlying index, margin is uniform, a clearing corporation or an exchange is the counterparty and the Fund makes daily margin payments based on price movements in the index. An option gives the purchaser the right to buy or sell securities or currencies, or in the case of an option on a futures contract or an option on a swap, the right to buy or sell a futures contract or swap, respectively, in exchange for a premium.

Non-US Currency Forward Contracts. The Fund may enter into non-US currency forward contracts to protect the value of its assets against future changes in the level of non-US exchange rates. A non-US currency forward contract is an obligation to buy or sell a given currency on a future date and at a set price or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of a given currency at a future date. Delivery of the underlying currency is expected, the terms are individually negotiated, the counterparty is not a clearing corporation or an exchange, and payment on the contract is made upon delivery, rather than daily.

Swap Transactions. The Fund may enter into swap transactions. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods typically ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. There are various types of swaps in which the Fund may invest, including but not limited to equity swaps, total return swaps, index swaps and interest rate swaps.

Swap Options. The Fund may enter into swap options. A swap option is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, at some designated future time on specified terms.

Options on Securities and Financial Indexes. The Fund may purchase and sell put and call options on securities and financial indexes traded on US or non-US securities exchanges, on the NASDAQ Stock Market or in the over-the-counter market. An option gives the purchaser the right to buy or sell securities in exchange for a premium. The Fund will sell only covered options.

Segregation of Assets

As an open-end investment company registered with the SEC, the Fund is subject to the federal securities laws, including the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, and various interpretive positions of the SEC and the staff of the SEC. In accordance with these laws, rules and positions, the Fund must set aside unencumbered cash or liquid securities, or engage in other measures, to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of derivative instruments. This practice is often referred to as “asset segregation.” In the case of futures contracts that are not contractually required to cash settle, for example, the Fund must set aside liquid assets equal to such contracts’ full notional value while the positions are open, except as described below. With respect to futures contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, however, the Fund is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily mark-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts’ full notional value. Futures contracts and forward contracts that settle physically will be treated as cash settled for asset segregation purposes when the Fund has entered into contractual arrangements with third party futures commission merchants or other counterparties or brokers that provide for cash settlement of these obligations.

The Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions from time to time articulated by the SEC or its staff regarding asset segregation.

21

The Fund generally will use its unencumbered cash and cash equivalents to cover its obligations as required by the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, and applicable SEC and SEC staff interpretive positions. The manager and the subadviser will monitor the Fund’s use of derivatives or other investments that require asset segregation and will take action as necessary for the purpose of complying with the asset segregation policy stated above. Such actions may include the sale of the Fund’s portfolio investments.

Non-US Securities

The Fund may invest in securities of non-US issuers, which we refer to as non-US securities, including stocks and other equity-related securities, money market instruments and other fixed-income securities of non-US issuers. Non-US securities may include securities from emerging markets.

Commodity-Linked Notes

Commodity-linked notes have characteristics of both a debt security and a commodity-linked derivative. Typically, commodity-linked notes are issued by a bank or other financial institution or a commodity producer at a specified face value. They usually pay interest at a fixed or floating rate until they mature, which is normally in 12 to 18 months. At maturity, the Fund receives a payment that is calculated based on the price increase or decrease of an underlying commodity-related variable and may be based on a multiple of the price movement of that variable. The underlying commodity-related variable may be a physical commodity (such as heating oil, livestock, or agricultural products), a commodity futures or option contract, a broad-based or narrow-based commodity index, or some other readily measurable variable that reflects changes in the value of particular commodities or the commodities markets.

The Fund typically has the right to “put” (or sell) a commodity-linked note to the issuer at any time, at a price that is calculated based on the price movement of the underlying variable. A typical commodity-linked note also provides that the issuer will automatically repurchase the note from the Fund if the value of the note decreases to a specified level based on the price of the underlying variable.

Real Estate Investment Trusts

The Fund may invest in the equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs). REITs are like corporations, except that they do not pay income taxes if they meet certain IRS requirements. However, while REITs themselves do not pay income taxes, the distributions they make to investors are taxable. REITs invest primarily in real estate and distribute almost all of their income—most of which comes from rents, mortgages and gains on sales of property—to shareholders.

US Government Securities

The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the US Government or by an agency or instrumentality of the US Government. Some US Government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, which means that payment of principal and interest is guaranteed but market value is not.

Forward Commitments

The Fund may purchase or sell securities through a forward commitment. These transactions involve the purchase or sale of securities by the Fund at an established price with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund enters into these transactions to obtain what is considered an advantageous price to the Fund at the time of entering into the transaction. When the Fund purchases securities in these transactions, the Fund segregates liquid securities in an amount equal to the amount of its purchase commitments.

There can be no assurance that a security purchased or sold through a forward commitment will be delivered. If the dealer through which the trade is made fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund may lose an advantageous yield or price. Securities purchased on a forward commitment basis also involve a risk that the value of the security to be purchased may decline prior to the settlement date. The Fund does not accrue income prior to delivery of the securities in the case of forward commitment purchases.

22	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Short Sales

The Fund may make short sales of a security. This means that the Fund may sell a security that it does not own, which it may do, for example, when the investment subadviser thinks the value of the security will decline. The Fund generally borrows the security to deliver to the buyers in a short sale. The Fund must then replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The Fund may make short sales “against the box.” In a short sale against the box, at the time of sale, the Fund owns or has the right to acquire the identical security at no additional cost through conversion or exchange of other securities it owns.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, where a party agrees to sell a security to the Fund and then repurchases it at an agreed-upon price at a stated time. This creates a fixed return for the Fund, and is, in effect, a loan by the Fund. Repurchase agreements are used for cash management purposes only.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Dollar Rolls

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of a portfolio security by the Fund coupled with an agreement to repurchase the security, as well as dollar rolls in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security at a future date. Either strategy involves leverage and may magnify underlying investment gains or losses.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities

The Fund may purchase securities, including money market obligations, bonds or other obligations, on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis. When the Fund purchases delayed delivery securities, the price and interest rate are fixed at the time of purchase. For both when-issued and delayed delivery securities, delivery and payment for the obligations take place at a later time. The Fund does not earn interest income until the date the obligations are expected to be delivered. These types of investments potentially leverage the Fund, which could magnify losses. The Fund will segregate liquid assets, marked-to-market daily, with a value equal to any such investments. Segregating assets may cause the Fund to forgo making other potentially favorable investments.

Money Market Instruments

The Fund may hold cash and/or invest in money market instruments, including commercial paper of a US or foreign company, foreign government securities, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits of domestic and foreign banks, and obligations issued or guaranteed by the US Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. These obligations may be US dollar-denominated or denominated in a foreign currency. Money market instruments typically have a maturity of one year or less as measured from the date of purchase.

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs)

The Fund may invest in securities of ETFs, subject to certain limits on investment in securities of non-affiliated investment companies. Securities of ETFs represent shares of ownership in either a mutual fund or unit investment trust that generally holds a portfolio of securities that may include bonds, common stocks, other instruments or a combination of all three and which is designed to provide exposure to the market represented by the portfolio of those securities. Such holdings are subject to any management fees of the mutual fund or unit investment trust. In addition, the Fund may invest in ETNs. ETNs, like ETFs, are traded on major exchanges. ETN returns are based on the performance of a market index, although the credit rating of the issuer may affect the value of the ETN.

Investments in Affiliated Funds

The Fund may invest its assets in affiliated short-term bond funds and/or affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. The affiliated funds are registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Fund can invest its free cash balances in the affiliated funds to obtain income on short-term cash balances while awaiting attractive investment opportunities, to provide liquidity in preparation for anticipated redemptions or for defensive purposes. Such an investment could also allow the Fund to obtain the benefits of a more diversified portfolio available in the affiliated funds than might otherwise be available through direct investments in those asset classes, and will subject the Fund to the risks associated with the particular asset class. As a shareholder in the affiliated funds, the Fund will pay its proportional share of the expenses of the affiliated funds, but the affiliated funds do not pay a

Visit our website at www.pgiminvestments.com

23

management fee to the investment manager, since the investment manager only receives reimbursement for its expenses. Thus, shareholders of the Fund are not paying management fees for both the Fund and the affiliated funds. The investment results of the portions of the Fund’s assets invested in the affiliated funds will be based on the investment results of the affiliated funds.

Securities Lending

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, the Fund may lend portfolio securities with a value up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations to earn additional income. Loans of portfolio securities will be collateralized by cash. Cash collateral will be invested in an affiliated prime money market fund.

Temporary Defensive Investments

In response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may take a temporary defensive position and invest up to 100% of its assets in money market instruments, including short-term obligations of, or securities guaranteed by, the US Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or in high-quality obligations of domestic or foreign banks and corporations, and may hold up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents. Investing heavily in these securities is inconsistent with and limits the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective, but may help to preserve the Fund's assets.

Portfolio Turnover

As a result of the investment policies described above, the Fund may engage in a substantial number of portfolio transactions. The portfolio turnover rate is generally the percentage computed by dividing the lesser of portfolio purchases or sales (excluding all securities, including options, whose maturity or expiration date at acquisition was one year or less) by the monthly average value of the portfolio. High portfolio turnover (100% or more) involves correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which are borne directly by the Fund. In addition, high portfolio turnover may also mean that a proportionately greater amount of distributions to shareholders will be taxed as ordinary income rather than long-term capital gains compared to investment companies with lower portfolio turnover.

Other Investments

In addition to the strategies and securities discussed above, the Fund may use other strategies or invest in other types of securities as described in the SAI. The Fund might not use all of the strategies or invest in all of the types of securities as described in the Prospectus or in the SAI.

The table below summarizes the investment limits applicable to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and certain non-principal investment strategies, which are in addition to the Fund’s allocation ranges among the asset classes.

Principal & Non-Principal Strategies: Investment Limits

■ Cayman Subsidiary: Up to 25% of total assets ■ ETNs: Up to 5% of total assets by any one securities-related issuer, along with all other securities issued by the issuer ■ ETFs: Up to 10% of total assets ■ Illiquid Securities: Up to 15% of net assets ■ Money Market Instruments: Up to 100% of total assets on a temporary basis ■ CLNs: Up to 5% of total assets by any one securities-related issuer, along with all other securities issued by the issuer.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Market Risk. Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.

Asset Allocation Risk. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the Fund’s assets may be allocated to an asset class that underperforms other asset classes. For example, fixed income securities may underperform equities.

24	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Fund of Funds Risk. The value of an investment in the Fund will be related, to a degree, to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Fund are closely related to the principal risks associated with these Underlying Funds and their investments. Because the Fund’s allocation among different Underlying Funds and direct investments in securities and derivatives will vary, an investment in the Fund may be subject to any and all of these risks at different times and to different degrees. Investing in an Underlying Fund will also expose the Fund to a pro rata portion of the Underlying Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing the investment purpose.

Affiliated Funds Risk. The Fund’s manager serves as the manager of the Underlying Funds. It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and the Underlying Funds could impact the manager and subadvisers. Because the amount of the investment management fees to be retained by the manager and the subadvisers may differ depending upon the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests, there is a conflict of interest for the manager and the subadvisers in selecting the Underlying Funds. In addition, the manager and the subadvisers may have an incentive to take into account the effect on an Underlying Fund in which the Fund may invest in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in that Underlying Fund. Although the manager and the subadvisers take steps to address the conflicts of interest, it is possible that the conflicts could impact the Fund. In addition, the subadvisers may invest in Underlying Funds that have a limited or no performance history.

Asset Class Variation Risk. The Underlying Funds invest principally in the securities constituting their asset class (i.e., domestic or international real estate, utilities, infrastructure, natural resources, MLPs and various types of fixed-income investments). However, under normal market conditions, an Underlying Fund may vary the percentage of its assets in these securities (subject to any applicable regulatory requirements). Depending upon the percentage of securities in a particular asset class held by the Underlying Funds at any given time and the percentage of the Fund’s assets invested in the Underlying Funds, the Fund’s actual exposure to the securities in a particular asset class may vary substantially from its allocation to that asset class.

Management Risk. Actively managed mutual funds are subject to management risk. The subadvisers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these techniques will produce the desired results. Additionally, the securities or Underlying Funds selected by the manager and/or subadvisers may underperform the markets in general, the Fund’s benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Deflation Risk. During periods of deflation, prices throughout the economy may decline over time, which may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers in whose securities the Fund invests. Additionally, since the Fund makes investments that may perform well in periods of rising inflation, during periods of no inflation or deflation an investment in the Fund may underperform broad market measures and may lose value.

Credit Risk/Counterparty Risk. The ability, or perceived ability, of the issuer or guarantor of a debt security, or the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction) to a derivatives contract or other financial contract, to meet its financial obligations will affect the value of the security or derivative. Counterparty risk is especially important in the context of privately negotiated instruments. The Fund expects to enter into certain privately negotiated agreements where the counterparty assumes the physical settlement obligations of the Fund under such transactions. Under this type of arrangement, there is a risk that the relevant counterparty or intermediary would, due to insolvency or other reasons, be unable to or fail to assume the physical settlement obligations of the Fund, in which case the Fund could be required to sell portfolio instruments at unfavorable times or prices or could have insufficient assets to satisfy its physical settlement obligations.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease. In addition, if a security that the Fund holds is prepaid during a period of falling interest rates, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in lower-yielding investments. Interest rate risk is generally greater in the case of securities with longer durations and in

25

the case of portfolios of securities with longer average durations. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk since the US Federal Reserve Board has ended its quantitative easing program and may continue to raise rates. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.

Inflation-indexed bonds, such as TIPS, generally decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, TIPS may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations. In addition, any increase in principal value of an inflation-indexed bond caused by an increase in the price index is taxable in the year the increase occurs, even though the Fund generally will not receive cash representing the increase at that time. As a result, the Fund could be required at times to liquidate other investments, including when it is not advantageous to do so, in order to satisfy its distribution requirements as a regulated investment company under the Code. Also, to the extent that the Fund invests in inflation-indexed bonds, income distributions are more likely to fluctuate.

Liquidity Risk. The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the instrument at all. The reduction in dealer market-making capacity in the fixed-income markets that has occurred in recent years also has the potential to reduce liquidity. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund's value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

Commodity Risk. The values of commodities and commodity-linked investments are affected by events that might have less impact on the value of stocks and bonds. Such investments may be speculative. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including weather, crop or livestock disease, investment speculation, resource availability, fluctuations in industrial and commercial supply and demand, US agricultural, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs, embargoes, tariffs, and international political, economic, military and regulatory developments. These risks may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional instruments or securities. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to a variety of factors, including participation of speculators, government intervention and regulation, and certain lack of liquidity in the markets.

Real Estate Investment Trust Risk. The Fund’s investment in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risk of REITs. An investment in a REIT may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. In addition, an investment in a REIT is subject to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Code, and to the effect of general declines in stock prices. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming. As a shareholder in a REIT, the Fund and its shareholders could bear its ratable share of the REIT’s expenses and would at the same time continue to pay its own fees and expenses. In addition, REITs may incur significant amounts of leverage.

Real Estate Risk. The Fund’s investment in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the performance of the real estate markets. The value of real estate securities in general, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) in particular, is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “subprime” mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property, interest rates and, with respect to REITs, the management skill and

26	PGIM Real Assets Fund

creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. The Fund will indirectly bear a portion of the expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests, in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Utilities/Infrastructure Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting infrastructure investments, particularly investments in the utilities sector. In most countries and localities, the utilities industry is regulated by governmental entities, which can increase costs and delays for new projects and make it difficult to pass increased costs on to consumers. In certain areas, deregulation of utilities has resulted in increased competition and reduced profitability for certain companies, and increased the risk that a particular company will become bankrupt or fail completely. Reduced profitability, as well as new uses for or additional need of funds (such as for expansion, operations or stock buybacks), could result in reduced dividend payout rates for utilities companies. In addition, utilities companies face the risk of increases in the cost and reduced availability of fuel (such as oil, coal, natural gas or nuclear energy) and potentially high interest costs for borrowing to finance new projects. Issuers in other types of infrastructure-related businesses also are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, and other factors.

Natural Resources Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risk of investment in natural resource companies. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including events occurring in nature, inflationary pressures and international politics. For example, events occurring in nature (such as earthquakes or fires in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as coups, military confrontations or acts of terrorism) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which non-US securities are subject may affect domestic companies if they have significant operations or investments in non-US countries. In addition, rising interest rates and general economic conditions may affect the demand for natural resources.

Non-US Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-US issuers or issuers with significant exposure to non-US markets and its investments in Underlying Funds that have exposure to non-US markets involve additional risk. Non-US countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as non-US markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by non-US investors, or that prevent non-US investors from withdrawing their money at will. Countries with emerging markets can be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa.

Cayman Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Cayman Subsidiary’s investments. The Cayman Subsidiary is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. The IRS has proposed regulations that if finalized in current form would require the Cayman Subsidiary to distribute its income on an annual basis in order for such income to be considered qualifying RIC income for tax purposes. Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands, under which the Cayman Subsidiary is incorporated, could result in the inability of the Fund to effect its desired commodity investment strategy.

Commodity-Linked Notes Risk. The Fund may invest in leveraged or unleveraged CLNs to gain exposure to the commodities markets. CLNs are subject to counterparty risk. The value of the CLNs may fluctuate significantly because the values of the investments to which they are linked are volatile. In addition, the terms of a CLN may create economic leverage by requiring payment by the issuer of an amount that is a multiple of the price increase or decrease of the underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable. Economic leverage increases the volatility of CLNs and their value may increase or decrease more quickly than the value of the underlying commodity, commodity index or other economic variable.

Non-Diversified Investment Company Risk. The Fund and certain of the Underlying Funds are “non-diversified,” meaning they can invest more than 5% of their assets in the securities of any one issuer. Funds that are “non-diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, such as the Fund and certain of the Underlying Funds, may invest a greater percentage of their assets in securities of a single issuer. Because the Fund invests in a smaller number of issuers, it may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than a diversified fund might be.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund and the Underlying Funds. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund and the Underlying Funds will depend on the subadvisers’ ability to analyze and manage derivatives transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.

Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’s derivatives positions. In fact, many over-the-counter derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Over-the-counter derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund.

The US Government and foreign governments are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, or otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

Distribution Risk. The Fund’s distributions may consist of net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, from the sale of investments and/or return of capital. The Fund will provide to shareholders early in each calendar year the final tax character of the Fund’s distributions for the previous year. Also, at such time that a Fund distribution is expected to be from sources other than current or accumulated net income, a notice to shareholders may be required.

Leverage Risk. Certain transactions in which the Fund or an Underlying Fund may engage may give rise to leverage. The use of leverage exaggerates the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s holdings, and makes any change in the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) greater than it would be without the use of leverage. This could result in increased volatility of investment returns.

Currency Risk. The Fund’s and the Underlying Funds' NAVs could decline as a result of changes in exchange rates, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in currencies, or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues related to currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to currencies. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.

Hedging Risk. The decision as to whether and to what extent the Fund or an Underlying Fund will engage in hedging transactions to hedge against certain risks, such as market risk and issuer risk, will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, the composition of the portfolio of the Fund or the Underlying Fund, and the availability of suitable transactions. Hedging transactions involve costs and may result in losses. There is no guarantee that any of these hedging instruments would work as anticipated, and in certain cases the Fund or an Underlying Fund

28	PGIM Real Assets Fund

might be better off had it not used a hedging instrument. There can be no assurance that the Fund or the Underlying Fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time or from time to time, even under volatile market environments, or that any such strategies, if used, will be successful.

Tax Risk. In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC, the Fund could be subject to federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders). When distributed, that income would also be taxable to shareholders as an ordinary dividend to the extent attributable to the Fund’s earnings and profits. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC and become subject to federal income tax, shareholders of the Fund would be subject to diminished returns.

The Fund has received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) stating that income derived from the Fund’s investment in the Cayman Subsidiary will constitute qualifying income to the Fund. The Cayman Subsidiary will not be subject to US federal income tax. The Cayman Subsidiary will, however, be considered a controlled foreign corporation, and the Fund will be required to include as income annually amounts earned by the Cayman Subsidiary during that year. The IRS has proposed regulations that if finalized in current form would require the Cayman Subsidiary to distribute its net profit to the Fund on an annual basis in order for such income to be considered qualifying RIC income for tax purposes. Furthermore, the Fund will be subject to the distribution requirement applicable to open-end investment companies on such Cayman Subsidiary income, whether or not the Cayman Subsidiary makes a distribution to the Fund during the taxable year.

One of the Underlying Funds, the PGIM Jennison MLP Fund, is taxed as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for federal income tax purposes. This means that the PGIM Jennison MLP Fund is generally subject to US federal income tax on its taxable income at the rates applicable to corporations and also subject to state and local income taxes. This is a relatively new strategy for mutual funds and may have unexpected and potentially significant consequences for shareholders, including the Fund.

Multi-Manager Risk. While the manager monitors the investments of each subadviser and monitors the overall management of the Fund, each subadviser makes investment decisions for the asset classes it manages independently from one another. It is possible that the investment styles used by a subadviser in an asset class will not always be complementary to those used by others, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

Commodity Regulatory Risk. The Fund is deemed a “commodity pool” and the manager is considered a “commodity pool operator” with respect to the Fund under the Commodity Exchange Act. The manager, directly or through its affiliates, is therefore subject to dual regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). The regulatory requirements governing the use of commodity futures (which include futures on broad-based securities indexes, interest rate futures and currency futures), options on commodity futures, certain swaps or certain other investments could change at any time.

Energy Sector Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risks of adverse economic, environmental, business, regulatory or other occurrences affecting the energy sector. The energy sector has historically experienced substantial price volatility. MLPs and other companies operating in the energy sector are subject to specific risks, including, among others, fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced consumer demand for commodities such as oil, natural gas or petroleum products; reduced availability of natural gas or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering; slowdowns in new construction; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets. Additionally, changes in the regulatory environment for energy companies may adversely impact their profitability. Over time, depletion of natural gas reserves and other energy reserves may also affect the profitability of energy companies.

Master Limited Partnerships Risk. The Fund’s investments in certain Underlying Funds will expose the Fund to the risks of MLPs. An MLP is an investment that combines the tax benefits of a limited partnership with the liquidity of publicly-traded securities. The risks of investing in an MLP are generally those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law

Visit our website at www.pgiminvestments.com

29

governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded investors in an MLP than investors in a corporation. Investments held by MLPs may be relatively illiquid, limiting the MLPs’ ability to vary their portfolios promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. MLPs may have limited financial resources, their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly-based companies. Investments by the Fund in certain Underlying Funds that invest in MLPs may also subject the Fund to the risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the MLPs invest, risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. MLPs are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. Since MLPs generally conduct business in multiple states, through its investment in certain Underlying Funds, the Fund may be subject to income or franchise tax in each of the states in which the partnership does business. The additional cost of preparing and filing the tax returns and paying the related taxes may adversely impact the Fund’s return on its investment in certain Underlying Funds.

Bond Obligations Risk. As with credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk, the Fund's holdings, share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed-income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same level and therefore would earn less income.

Risks of Small and Medium Sized Companies. Small and medium capitalization companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, their prices may fluctuate more than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Historically, small and mid-cap companies have sometimes gone through extended periods when they did not perform as well as larger companies. Small and mid-cap companies generally are less liquid than larger companies, which may make such investments more difficult to sell at the time and price that the Fund would like.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. The values of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities become more volatile as interest rates rise. In a period of declining interest rates, the Fund may be required to reinvest more frequent prepayments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments in lower-yielding investments. In addition to interest rate risk, investments in mortgage-backed securities composed of subprime mortgages may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk and liquidity risk.

US Government and Agency Securities Risk. US Government and agency securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Not all US Government securities are insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government; some are only insured or guaranteed by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt. In addition, Connecticut Avenue Securities issued by Fannie Mae and Structured Agency Credit Risk issued by Freddie Mac carry no guarantee whatsoever and the risk of default associated with these securities would be borne by the Fund or an Underlying Fund. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some US Government securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, including their legal right to support from the US Treasury. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In addition, the value of US Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the US Government.

Junk Bonds Risk. High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to be less liquid than higher-rated securities. The liquidity of particular issuers or industries within a particular investment category may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning. The non-investment grade bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings and become illiquid due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large sustained sales by major investors, a high profile default or a change in the market's psychology.

30	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Short Sales Risk. Short sales involve costs and risks. The Fund must pay the lender interest on the security it borrows, and the Fund will lose money to the extent that the price of the security increases between the time of the short sale and the date when the Fund replaces the borrowed security. Although the Fund’s gain is limited to the price at which it sold the securities short, its potential loss is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the securities, less the price at which the security was sold and may, theoretically, be unlimited. When selling short against the box, the Fund gives up the opportunity for capital appreciation in the security.

Repurchase Agreements Risk. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, including losses and possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. To the extent that, in the meantime, the value of the securities that the Fund has purchased has decreased, the Fund could experience a loss.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage, which may exaggerate the increase or decrease of the value of the Fund’s assets during the term of the agreement.

Dollar Rolls Risk. Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is committed to buy may decline below the price of the securities the Fund has sold. These transactions may involve leverage.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions Risk. When-issued and delayed delivery securities involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security’s price.

Forward Commitments Risk. Forward commitments are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the forward commitment may fail to make payment or delivery in a timely manner or at all. Forward commitments are also subject to the risk that the value of the security to be purchased may decline prior to the settlement date.

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk. As with other investments, investments in ETFs are subject to market risk and, for non-index strategies, selection risk. There may be certain risks to the extent a particular ETF is concentrated in a particular sector, and is not as diversified as the market as a whole. Investments in ETFs may entail duplicate management fees. Shares of an ETF are traded on an exchange throughout a trading day, and bought and sold based on market values and not at the ETF’s net asset value. For this reason, the shares of an ETF could trade at either a premium or discount to the actual net asset value of the ETF. The Fund will incur brokerage costs for purchases and sales of ETF shares.

Money Market Instruments Risk. Although money market instruments are generally viewed as low risk investments, money market instruments are nevertheless subject to credit risk, market risk, prepayment risk and interest rate risk.

Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. As a result, the Fund may lose money and there may be a delay in recovering the loaned securities. Additionally, losses could result from the reinvestment of collateral received on loaned securities in investments that decline in value, default, or do not perform as well as expected. The affiliated prime money market fund in which cash collateral is invested may impose liquidity fees or temporary gates on redemptions if its weekly liquid assets fall below a designated threshold. If this were to occur, the Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral in the affiliated prime money market fund, or the Fund may not be able to redeem its investment of cash collateral in the affiliated prime money market fund, which might cause the Fund to liquidate other holdings in order to return the cash collateral to the borrower upon termination of a securities loan. These events could trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund.

Cash Management and Defensive Investing Risk. The value of the investments held by the Fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate and credit risk. If the Fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the

31

depository institution holding the cash. If the Fund holds cash uninvested, the Fund will not earn income on the cash. If a significant amount of the Fund’s assets are used for cash management or defensive investing purposes, it may not achieve its investment objective.

Economic and Market Events Risk. Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the US Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.

Risk of Increase in Expenses. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.

Please note that, in addition to the risks discussed above, there are many other factors that may impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and which could result in a loss of all or a part of your investment.

Shareholders of the Fund still have the right to terminate these agreements at any time by a vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund will notify shareholders of any new investment subadvisers engaged or material amendments to subadvisory agreements made pursuant to the Order. Any new subadvisory agreement or amendment to the Fund’s management agreement or current subadvisory agreement that directly or indirectly results in an increase in the aggregate management fee rate payable by the Fund will be submitted to the Fund’s shareholders for their approval. PGIM Investments does not currently intend to retain unaffiliated subadvisers.

Cayman Subsidiary

As discussed above, the Fund may pursue its investment objective though investment in the Cayman Subsidiary. The Cayman Subsidiary has a Board of Directors consisting of two directors. The Cayman Subsidiary has entered into a separate management agreement with the manager whereby the manager provides advisory and other services to the Cayman Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Cayman Subsidiary will pay the manager a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.60% up to $3 billion; 0.58% from $3 billion to $5 billion; 0.57% from $5 billion to $10 billion; and 0.56% over $10 billion of the average daily net assets of the Cayman Subsidiary. The manager also has entered into a subadvisory agreement with QMA relating to the Cayman Subsidiary. QMA provides asset allocation services to the Cayman Subsidiary and handles the day-to-day investment management for the Cayman Subsidiary’s assets allocated to the commodity asset class and the gold/defensive asset class.

The Cayman Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in the Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act.

DISTRIBUTOR

Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS” or the “Distributor”) distributes each class of the Fund's shares under a Distribution Agreement with the Fund. The Fund has Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, applicable to certain of the Fund's shares. Under the Plans and the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor pays the expenses of distributing the shares of all share classes of the Fund. The Distributor also provides certain shareholder support services. Under the Plans, certain classes of the Fund pay distribution and other fees to the Distributor as compensation for its services. These fees—known as 12b-1 fees—are set forth in the “Fund Fees and Expenses” tables.

Because these fees are paid from the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

FUND DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ISSUES

DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund distributes dividends to shareholders out of any net investment income. For example, if the Fund owns ACME Corp. stock and the stock pays a dividend, the Fund will pay out a portion of this dividend to its shareholders, assuming the Fund's income is more than its costs and expenses. The dividends you receive from the Fund will be subject to taxation whether or not they are reinvested in the Fund.

The Fund also distributes any net realized capital gains to shareholders. Capital gains are generated when the Fund sells its assets for a profit. For example, if the Fund bought 100 shares of ACME Corp. stock for a total of $1,000 and more than one year later sold the shares for a total of $1,500, the Fund has net long-term capital gains of $500, which it will pass on to shareholders (assuming the Fund's remaining total gains are greater than any losses it may have).

For your convenience, the Fund's distributions of dividends and net capital gains are automatically reinvested in the Fund without any sales charge. If you ask us to pay the distributions in cash, we will send you a check if your account is with Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (PMFS or the Transfer Agent). Otherwise, if your account is with a broker, you will receive a credit to your account. Either way, the distributions may be subject to income taxes unless your shares are held in a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account. If your distribution check(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the Fund at the next net asset value (“NAV”) calculated on the day of the investment. For more information about automatic reinvestment and other shareholder services, see “Additional Shareholder Services” in the next section.

The chart below sets forth the expected frequency of dividend and capital gains distributions to shareholders. Various factors may impact the frequency of dividend distributions to shareholders, including but not limited to adverse market conditions or portfolio holding-specific events.

Expected Distribution Schedule*
Dividends	Quarterly
Short-Term Capital Gains	Annually
Long-Term Capital Gains	Annually

*Under certain circumstances, the Fund may make more than one distribution of long-term and/or short-term capital gains during a fiscal year.

TAX ISSUES

Investors who buy Fund shares should be aware of some important tax issues. For example, the Fund distributes dividends of net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Fund distributions and gain from the sale of Fund shares are subject to federal income taxes, unless you hold your shares in a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or some other qualified or tax-deferred plan or account. Dividends and distributions from the Fund also may be subject to state and local income tax in the state where you live.

The following briefly discusses some of the important income tax issues you should be aware of, but is not meant to be tax advice. For tax advice, please speak with your tax adviser.

Fund Distributions

Fund distributions of net capital gains are taxed differently depending on how long the Fund holds the security. If the Fund holds a security for more than one year before selling it, any gain is treated as long-term capital gain which is generally taxed at rates of up to 15% or 20% for non-corporate US shareholders, depending on whether their incomes exceed certain threshold amounts, which are adjusted annually for inflation. If the Fund holds the security for one year or less, any gain is treated as short-term capital gain, which is taxed at rates applicable to ordinary income, subject to a maximum tax rate of 37%. Different rates apply to corporate shareholders.

38	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Dividends from net investment income paid to a non-corporate US shareholder that are reported as qualified dividend income will generally be taxable to such shareholder at the long-term capital gain tax rate. Dividends of net investment income that are not reported as qualified dividend income will be taxable to shareholders at ordinary income rates. Also, a portion of the dividends paid to corporate shareholders of the Fund will be eligible for the dividends received deduction to the extent the Fund’s income is derived from certain dividends received from US corporations.

A US shareholder that is an individual, estate or certain type of trust is subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on the lesser of (1) the US shareholder’s “net investment income,” including Fund distributions and net gains from the disposition of Fund shares, and (2) the excess of the US shareholder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over $200,000 (or $250,000 for married couples filing jointly). For this purpose, net investment income includes interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, capital gain and income from a passive activity business or a business of trading in financial instruments or commodities.

Form 1099

For every year the Fund declares a dividend, you will receive a Form 1099, which reports the amount of ordinary income distributions and long-term capital gains we distributed to you during the prior year unless you own shares of the Fund as part of a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account. If you do own shares of the Fund as part of a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account, your taxes are deferred, so you will not receive a Form 1099 annually, but instead you will receive a Form 1099 when you take any distribution from your qualified or tax-deferred plan or account.

Fund distributions are generally taxable to you in the calendar year in which they are received, except when we declare certain dividends and distributions in the fourth quarter, with a record date in such quarter, and actually pay them in January of the following year. In such cases, the dividends and distributions are treated as if they were paid on December 31st of the prior year.

Cost Basis Reporting

Mutual funds must report cost basis information to you and the IRS when you sell or exchange shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 in your non-retirement accounts. The cost basis regulations do not affect retirement accounts, money market funds, and shares acquired before January 1, 2012. The cost basis regulations also require mutual funds to report whether a gain or loss is short-term (shares held one year or less) or long-term (shares held more than one year) for all shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 that are subsequently sold or exchanged. The Transfer Agent is not required to report cost basis information on shares acquired before January 1, 2012. However, in most cases the Transfer Agent will provide this information to you as a service.

Withholding Taxes

If federal tax law requires you to provide the Fund with your taxpayer identification number and certifications as to your tax status and you fail to do this, or if you are otherwise subject to backup withholding, we will withhold and pay to the US Treasury a portion of your distributions and sale proceeds, based on the backup withholding rate.

Taxation of Non-US Shareholders

For a discussion regarding the taxation of non-US shareholders, please see the SAI and contact your tax adviser.

If You Purchase on or Before a Record Date

If you buy shares of the Fund on or before the record date for a distribution (the date that determines who receives the distribution), we will pay that distribution to you. As explained above, the distribution may be subject to taxes. You may think you've done well since you bought shares one day and soon thereafter received a distribution. That is not so, because when dividends are paid out, the value of each share of the Fund decreases by the amount of the dividend to reflect the payout, although this may not be apparent because the value of each share of the Fund also will be affected by market changes, if any. However, the timing of your purchase does mean that part of your investment may have come back to you as taxable income.

Qualified and Tax-Deferred Retirement Plans

Retirement plans and accounts allow you to defer paying taxes on investment income and capital gains. Contributions to these plans may also be tax-deductible, although distributions from these plans generally are taxable. In the case of Roth IRA accounts, contributions are not tax-deductible, but distributions from the plan may be tax-free. Please contact your financial adviser for information on a variety of PGIM Funds that are suitable for retirement plans offered by Prudential.

IF YOU SELL OR EXCHANGE YOUR SHARES

If you sell any shares of the Fund for a profit, you have realized a capital gain, which is subject to tax unless the shares are held in a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account. As mentioned above, the maximum capital gains tax rate is up to 15% or 20% for individuals, depending on whether their incomes exceed certain threshold amounts, which are adjusted annually for inflation.

If you sell shares of the Fund at a loss, you may have a capital loss, which you may use to offset capital gains you have, plus, in the case of non-corporate taxpayers, ordinary income of up to $3,000. If you sell shares and realize a loss, you will not be permitted to use the loss to the extent you replace the shares (including pursuant to the reinvestment of a dividend) within a 61-day period (beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the sale of the shares). Under certain circumstances, if you acquire shares of the Fund and sell or exchange your shares within 90 days, you may not be allowed to include certain charges incurred in acquiring the shares for purposes of calculating gain or loss realized upon the sale or exchange of the shares.

If you exchange your Fund shares for shares of another class of the Fund, this is generally not a taxable event and should not result in realization of a capital gain or loss by you. If you exchange your shares of the Fund for shares of another PGIM Fund, this is considered a sale for tax purposes. In other words, it's a taxable event. Therefore, if the shares you exchanged have increased in value since you purchased them, you have capital gains, which are subject to the taxes described above. Unless you hold your shares in a qualified or tax-deferred plan or account, you or your financial adviser should keep track of the dates on which you buy and sell—or exchange—Fund shares, as well as the amount of any gain or loss on each transaction. For tax advice, please see your tax adviser.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares

The conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares—which happens automatically approximately seven years after purchase—is not a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. For more information about the automatic conversion of Class B shares, see Class B Shares Automatically Convert to Class A Shares in How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Fund Shares.

HOW TO BUY, SELL AND EXCHANGE FUND SHARES

HOW TO BUY SHARES

In order to buy Fund shares, simply follow the steps described below.

Opening an Account

Shares may be purchased through an account with the Transfer Agent, or through an account with a financial intermediary that has an agreement with the Distributor to sell Fund shares. In order to open an account with the Transfer Agent contact PMFS at (800) 225-1852 or write to:

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC
P.O. Box 9658
Providence, RI 02940

PMFS will accept purchases of shares by check or wire. We do not accept cash, money orders, non-US checks, credit card checks, payable through checks or travelers checks. To purchase by wire, call the number above to obtain an application. After PMFS receives your completed application, you will receive an account number. For additional information, see the back cover page of this Prospectus. Your purchase order must be in good order to be accepted and processed, which means that all necessary processing requirements have been satisfied. We have the right to reject any purchase order (including an exchange into a Fund) or suspend or modify a Fund's sales of its shares under certain circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, failure by you to provide additional information requested, such as information required to verify the source of funds used to purchase shares, your identity or the identity of any underlying beneficial owners of your shares. Furthermore, we are required by law to close your account if you do not provide the required identifying information. This would result in the redemption of shares at the then-current NAV and the proceeds would be remitted to you via check. We will attempt to verify your identity within a reasonable time frame (e.g., 60 days), which may change from time to time. For further information, please contact PMFS (for shares purchased through the Transfer Agent) or your financial professional (for shares purchased through a financial intermediary).

With certain limited exceptions, Fund shares are only available to be sold in the United States, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam.

Choosing a Share Class

The Fund offers the following share classes. Certain classes of shares may have additional specific eligibility or qualification requirements, which are explained below.

Share Class	Eligibility
Class A**	Individual investors
Class B*	Individual investors
Class C**	Individual investors
Class Z**	Certain group retirement plans, institutional investors and certain other investors
Class R6†	Certain group retirement plans, institutional investors and certain other investors

* Note:  Class B shares are closed to all purchase activity except for exchanges from Class B shares of another fund.  See “Closure of Class B Shares” below for more information.

** The Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares were generally closed to investments by new group retirement plans effective on or about June 1, 2018. Please see “Closure of Certain Share Classes to New Group Retirement Plans” in this section of the Prospectus for more information.
^†Formerly known as Class Q.

Multiple share classes let you choose a cost structure that meets your needs:

■

Class A shares purchased in amounts of less than $1 million require you to pay a sales charge at the time of purchase, but the operating expenses of Class A shares are lower than the operating expenses of Class C shares. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are also subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%. The CDSC is waived for certain retirement and/or benefit plans.

Visit our website at www.pgiminvestments.com

41

■

Class C shares do not require you to pay a sales charge at the time of purchase, but do require you to pay a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell your shares within 12 months of purchase. The operating expenses of Class C shares are higher than the operating expenses of Class A shares.

When choosing a share class, you should consider the following factors:

■	The amount of your investment and any previous or planned future investments, which may qualify you for reduced sales charges for Class A shares under Rights of Accumulation or a Letter of Intent.
■	The length of time you expect to hold the shares and the impact of varying distribution fees. Over time, these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. For this reason, Class C shares are generally appropriate only for investors who plan to hold their shares for no more than 3 years.
■	The different sales charges that apply to each share class—Class A's front-end sales charge (and, in certain instances, CDSC) vs. Class C's CDSC.
■	Class C shares purchased in single amounts greater than $1 million are generally less advantageous than purchasing Class A shares. Purchase orders for Class C shares above this amount generally will not be accepted.
■	Because Class Z and Class R6 shares have lower operating expenses than Class A or Class C shares, as applicable, you should consider whether you are eligible to purchase such share classes.

See “How to Sell Your Shares” for a description of the impact of CDSCs.

If your shares are held through a financial intermediary, you should discuss with your intermediary which share classes of the Fund are available to you and which share class may best meet your needs. Certain financial intermediaries through which you may purchase shares of the Fund may impose their own investment minimums, fees, policies and procedures for purchasing, exchanging and selling Fund shares, which are not described in this Prospectus or the SAI, and which will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary. Consult your financial intermediary about share class availability and the intermediary’s policies, procedures and other information. The availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. See “Appendix A: Waivers and Discounts Available From Certain Financial Intermediaries” for additional information. The Fund has advised financial intermediaries of the share class features and guidelines, per the Prospectus, and it is their responsibility to monitor and enforce these guidelines with respect to shareholders purchasing shares through financial intermediaries.

Share Class Comparison. Use the following chart to help you compare the different share classes. The discussion following this chart will tell you whether you are entitled to a reduction or waiver of any sales charges.

	Class A**	Class B*	Class C**	Class Z**	Class R6†
Minimum purchase amount	$2,500	$2,500	$2,500	Institutions: $5 million Group Retirement Plans: None	Institutions: $5 million Group Retirement Plans: None
Minimum amount for subsequent purchases	$100	$100	$100	None	None
Maximum initial sales charge	5.50% of the public offering price	None	None	None	None
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) (as a percentage of the lower of the original purchase price or net asset value at redemption)	1.00% on sales of $1 million or more made within 12 months of purchase	5.00%(Yr.1) 4.00%(Yr.2) 3.00%(Yr.3) 2.00%(Yr.4) 1.00%(Yr.5/6) 0.00%(Yr.7)	1.00% on sales made within 12 months of purchase	None	None

Notes to Share Class Comparison Table:

42	PGIM Real Assets Fund

° The minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements do not apply to employee savings plan accounts, payroll deduction plan accounts, or when exchanging all shares of an account to an existing account with the same registration. The minimum initial investment for Class A and Class C shares for retirement accounts and custodial accounts for minors is $1,000, and the minimum subsequent investment is $100. The minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts is $50 (if your shares are held through a broker or other financial intermediary, the broker or intermediary is responsible for determining the minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts).

° If the value of your Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Z account with PMFS is less than $10,000, the Fund will deduct a $15 annual account maintenance fee from your account. The $15 annual account maintenance fee will be assessed during the 4th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the $15 account maintenance fee will be waived. The $15 account maintenance fee will not be charged on: (i) accounts during the first six months from inception of the account, (ii) accounts which are authorized for electronic delivery of account statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses and fund shareholder reports, (iii) omnibus accounts or accounts for which a broker or other financial intermediary is responsible for recordkeeping, (iv) institutional accounts, (v) group retirement plans, (vi) AIP accounts or employee savings plan accounts, (vii) accounts with the same registration associated with multiple share classes within the Fund, provided that the aggregate value of share classes with the same registration with the Fund is $10,000 or more, or (viii) clients with assets of $50,000 or more across the PGIM family of mutual funds. For more information, see “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares—Account Maintenance Fee” in the SAI.

° For more information about the CDSC and how it is calculated, see “How to Sell Your Shares—Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC).”

° Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and redeem those shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC, although they are not subject to an initial sales charge. The CDSC is waived for certain retirement or benefit plans.

° Distribution and service fees (12b-1) are paid from the Fund’s assets on a continuous basis. Over time, the fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The service fee for Class A, Class B and Class C shares is 0.25%. The distribution fee is limited to 0.30% (including the 0.25% service fee) for Class A shares, and 0.75% for Class B and Class C shares. The Distributor of the Fund has contractually agreed until February 28, 2019 to reduce its distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A shares to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.

° With respect to Class Z shares purchased by current and former employees (including their spouses, children and parents), the minimum initial investment is generally $2,500; $1,000 for retirement accounts and custodial accounts for minors. There is no minimum for payroll deduction for such Class Z purchases. The minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts for such Class Z purchases is $50 (if shares are held through a broker or other financial intermediary, the broker or intermediary is responsible for determining the minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts).

° With respect to Class Z shares purchased by institutional investors, including corporations, banks, governmental entities, municipalities, hospitals, insurance companies and IRS Section 501 entities, such as foundations and endowments, the minimum initial investment for such investors generally is $5 million.

° With respect to Class R6 shares purchased by institutional investors, including, but not limited to, corporations, governmental entities, municipalities, hospitals, insurance companies and IRS Section 501 entities, such as foundations and endowments and other institutional investors who meet certain requirements as detailed herein, the minimum initial investment for such investors generally is $5 million.

* Note: Class B shares are closed to all purchase activity except for exchanges from Class B shares of another fund. See “Closure of Class B Shares” below for more information.

** The Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class Z shares were generally closed to investments by new group retirement plans effective on or about June 1, 2018.  Please see “Closure of Certain Share Classes to New Group Retirement Plans” in this section of the Prospectus for more information.

Closure of Class B Shares

Class B shares are closed to all purchase activity effective June 23, 2014. This means that no new accounts in Class B shares may be established, and no additional Class B shares may be purchased or acquired, except through an exchange from the Class B shares of another fund or through the reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains.

Shareholders owning Class B shares may continue to hold their Class B shares until the shares automatically convert to Class A shares under the conversion schedule, or until the shareholder redeems their Class B shares. Any redemption of Class B shares will continue to be subject to any applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). In addition, as noted above, shareholders owning Class B shares will continue to have exchange privileges with the Class B shares of any other fund that offers Class B shares.

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). Shareholders who purchase Class B shares through the Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) are no longer able to purchase Class B shares and are required to select a different share class of the Fund or another fund in order to continue to make automatic investments. Selection of a different share class will be subject to the eligibility requirements of such share class. If a shareholder does not designate a different share class for AIP investments, future purchases of Class B shares will be rejected. New AIPs in Class B shares may not be established.

IRAs & Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans. Class B shareholders may continue to hold Class B shares in IRA and SIMPLE IRA accounts or in employer-sponsored retirement plans, but contributions must be made in a different share class.

Investment Minimums. The minimum initial investment will be waived for existing Class B shareholders who select a new share class in the same fund. The minimum subsequent investment of $100 per fund applies in the new share class of the same fund.

Closure of Certain Share Classes to New Group Retirement Plans

Effective on or about June 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares, as applicable, were closed to investments by new group retirement plans, except as discussed below. Existing group retirement plans as of the Effective Date may keep their investments in their current share class and may continue to make additional purchases or exchanges of that class of shares. As of the Effective Date, all new group retirement plans wishing to add the Fund as a new addition to the plan generally will be into one of the available Class R6 shares, Class R2 shares, or Class R4 shares of the Fund, as applicable.

In addition, on or about the Effective Date, the Class R shares of any fund were closed to all new investors, except as discussed below. Due to the closing of the Class R shares to new investors, effective on or about the Effective Date new IRA investors may only purchase Class A, Class C, Class Z or Class R6 shares of the Fund, as applicable, subject to share class eligibility. Following the Effective Date, no new accounts may be established in the Fund’s Class R shares and no Class R shares may be purchased or acquired by any new Class R shareholder, except as discussed below.

	Class A	Class C	Class Z	Class R
Existing Investors (Group Retirement Plans, IRAs, and all other investors)	No Change	No Change	No Change	No Change
New Group Retirement Plans	Closed to group retirement plans wishing to add the share classes as new additions to plan menus on or about June 1, 2018, subject to certain exceptions below
New IRAs	No Change	No Change	No Change	Closed to all new investors on or about June 1, 2018, subject to certain exceptions below
All Other New Investors	No Change	No Change	No Change

However, the following new investors may continue to purchase Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Fund, as applicable:

■	Eligible group retirement plans that are exercising their one-time 90-day repurchase privilege in the Fund will be permitted to purchase such share classes.
■	Plan participants in a group retirement plan that offers Class A, Class C, Class R or Class Z shares of the Fund, as applicable, as of the Effective Date will be permitted to purchase such share classes of the Fund, even if the plan participant did not own shares of that class of the Fund as of the Effective Date.
■	Certain new group retirement plans or their agents will be permitted to offer such share classes of the Fund after the Effective Date, provided that the plan or its agent has or is actively negotiating a contractual agreement with the Fund’s distributor or service provider to offer such share classes of the Fund prior to or on the Effective Date.
■	New group retirement plans or their agents that combine with, replace, are otherwise affiliated with, or have third party arrangements with, a current plan that invests in such share classes prior to or on the Effective Date will be permitted to purchase such share classes.
■	The Fund also reserves the right to refuse any purchase order that might disrupt management of the Fund or to otherwise modify the closure policy at any time on a case-by-case basis.

Reducing or Waiving Class A's and Class C’s Sales Charges

The following describes the different ways investors can reduce or avoid paying Class A's sales charge.

Increase the Amount of Your Investment. You can reduce Class A's sales charge by increasing the amount of your investment. This table shows how the sales charge decreases as the amount of your investment increases:

Amount of Purchase	Sales Charge as a % of Offering Price*	Sales Charge as a % of Amount Invested*	Dealer Reallowance***
Less than $25,000	5.50%	5.82%	5.00%
$25,000 to $49,999	5.00%	5.26%	4.50%
$50,000 to $99,999	4.50%	4.71%	4.00%
$100,000 to $249,999	3.75%	3.90%	3.25%
$250,000 to $499,999	2.75%	2.83%	2.50%
$500,000 to $999,999	2.00%	2.04%	1.75%
$1 million to $4,999,999**	None	None	1.00%

44	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Amount of Purchase	Sales Charge as a % of Offering Price*	Sales Charge as a % of Amount Invested*	Dealer Reallowance***
$5 million to $9,999,999**	None	None	0.50%
$10 million and over**	None	None	0.25%

* Due to rounding in the calculation of the offering price and the number of shares purchased, the actual sales charge you pay may be more or less than the percentage shown above.

** If you invest $1 million or more, you can buy only Class A shares, unless you qualify to buy other share classes. If you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase, you will be subject to a 1.00% CDSC, although you will not be subject to an initial sales charge. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans.

*** The Dealer Reallowance is the amount that is paid by the Fund’s distributor to the financial intermediary responsible for the sale of the Fund’s shares. For more information, please see “How Financial Intermediaries are Compensated for Selling Fund Shares” in this section of the Prospectus.

To satisfy the purchase amounts above, you can:

■	Use your Rights of Accumulation, which allow you or an eligible group of related investors to combine (1) the current value of Class A, Class B and Class C PGIM Fund shares you or the group already own, (2) the value of money market shares (other than Direct Purchase money market shares) you or an eligible group of related investors have received for shares of other PGIM Funds in an exchange transaction, and (3) the value of the shares you or an eligible group of related investors are purchasing; or
■	Sign a Letter of Intent, stating in writing that you or an eligible group of related investors will purchase a certain amount of shares in the Fund and other PGIM Funds within 13 months.
■	Purchases made prior to the effective date of the Letter of Intent will be applied toward the satisfaction of the Letter of Intent to determine the level of sales charge that will be paid pursuant to the Letter of Intent, but will not result in any reduction in the amount of any previously paid sales charge.

An “eligible group of related investors” includes any combination of the following:

■	All accounts held in your name (alone or with other account holders) and taxpayer identification number (“TIN”);
■	Accounts held in your spouse's name (alone or with other account holders) and TIN (see definition of spouse below);
■	Accounts for your children or your spouse's children, including children for whom you and/or your spouse are legal guardian(s) (e.g., UGMAs and UTMAs);
■	Accounts in the name and TINs of your parents;
■	Trusts with you, your spouse, your children, your spouse's children and/or your parents as the beneficiaries;
■	With limited exclusions, accounts with the same address (exclusions include, but are not limited to, addresses for brokerage firms and other intermediaries and Post Office boxes); and
■	Accounts held in the name of a company controlled by you (a person, entity or group that holds 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a company will be deemed to control the company, and a partnership will be deemed to be controlled by each of its general partners), including employee benefit plans of the company where the accounts are held in the plan's TIN.

A “spouse” is defined in this prospectus as follows:

■	The person to whom you are legally married. We also consider your spouse to include the following:
■	An individual of the same gender with whom you have been joined in a civil union, or legal contract similar to marriage;
■	A domestic partner, who is an individual (including one of the same gender) with whom you have shared a primary residence for at least six months, in a relationship as a couple where you, your domestic partner or both provide for the personal or financial welfare of the other without a fee, to whom you are not related by blood; or
■	An individual with whom you have a common law marriage, which is a marriage in a state where such marriages are recognized between a man and a woman arising from the fact that the two live together and hold themselves out as being married.

The value of shares held by you or an eligible group of related investors will be determined by the value of your existing Class A shares calculated at current NAV plus maximum sales charge with Class B and Class C shares calculated at current NAV.

Note: Class Z shares and Class R6 shares cannot be aggregated with any other share class for purposes of reducing or waiving Class A's initial sales charge.

If your shares are held directly by the Transfer Agent, and you believe you qualify for a reduction or waiver of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges, you must notify the Transfer Agent at the time of the qualifying share purchase in order to receive the applicable reduction or waiver. If your shares are held through a broker or other financial intermediary, and you believe you qualify for a reduction or waiver of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges, you must notify your broker or intermediary at the time of the qualifying purchase in order to receive the applicable reduction or waiver. Shares held through a broker or other financial intermediary will not be systematically aggregated with shares held directly by the Transfer Agent for purposes of receiving a reduction or waiver of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges. The reduced or waived sales charge will be granted subject to confirmation of account holdings.

If your shares are held directly by the Transfer Agent, you must identify the eligible group of related investors. Although the Transfer Agent does not require any specific form of documentation in order to establish your eligibility to receive a waiver or reduction of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges, you may be required to provide appropriate documentation if the Transfer Agent is unable to establish your eligibility.

If your shares are held through a financial intermediary, the financial intermediary is responsible for determining the specific documentation, if any, that you may need in order to establish your eligibility to receive a waiver or reduction of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges. Your financial intermediary is also responsible for notifying the Transfer Agent if your share purchase qualifies for a reduction or waiver of Class A’s or Class C's sales charges.

Purchases of $1 Million or More. If you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares, you will not be subject to an initial sales charge, although a CDSC may apply, as previously noted.

Mutual Fund Programs. The initial sales charge on Class A shares will be waived for participants in any fee-based program or trust program sponsored by Prudential or an affiliate that includes the Fund as an available option. The initial sales charge will also be waived for clients of financial intermediaries in programs that are sponsored by or available through financial intermediaries that offer Class A shares without an initial sales charge, relating to:

■	Mutual fund “wrap” or asset allocation programs, where the sponsor places fund trades, links its clients' accounts to a master account in the sponsor's name and charges its clients a management, consulting or other fee for its services; or
■	Mutual fund “supermarket” programs, where the sponsor links its clients' accounts to a master account in the sponsor's name and the sponsor charges a fee for its services.

Financial intermediaries sponsoring these mutual fund programs may offer their clients more than one class of shares in the Fund in connection with different pricing options for their programs. Investors should consider carefully any separate transaction and other fees charged by these programs in connection with investing in each available share class before selecting a share class.

Group Retirement Plans. Class A’s and Class C’s sales charges will be waived for group retirement plans (including defined contribution plans, defined benefit plans and deferred compensation plans) available through a retirement plan recordkeeper or third party administrator. If Prudential Retirement Services is the recordkeeper for your group retirement plan, you may call Prudential at (800) 353-2847 with any questions. Otherwise, investors in group retirement plans should contact their financial intermediary with any questions regarding availability of Class A and Class C shares at net asset value.

Other Types of Investors. Certain other types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying the initial sales charge, including:

■	Certain directors, officers, current employees (including their spouses, children and parents) and former employees (including their spouses, children and parents) of Prudential and its affiliates, the PGIM Funds, and the investment subadvisers of the PGIM Funds; former employees must have an existing investment in the Fund;
■	Persons who have retired directly from active service with Prudential or one of its subsidiaries;
■	Registered representatives and employees of broker-dealers (including their spouses, children and parents) that offer Class A shares;

■

Investors in IRAs, provided that: (a) the purchase is made either from a directed rollover to such IRA or with the proceeds of a tax-free rollover of assets from a Benefit Plan for which Prudential Retirement (the institutional Benefit Plan recordkeeping entity of Prudential) provides administrative or recordkeeping services, in each case provided that such purchase is made within 60 days of receipt of the Benefit Plan distribution, and (b) the IRA is established through Prudential Retirement as part of its “Rollover IRA” program (regardless of whether or not the purchase consists of proceeds of a tax-free rollover of assets from a Benefit Plan described above); and

Clients of financial intermediaries, who (i) offer Class A shares through a no-load network or platform, (ii) charge clients an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services, or (iii) offer self-directed brokerage accounts or other similar types of accounts that may or may not charge transaction fees to customers.

To qualify for a waiver of the Class A or Class C sales charges at the time of purchase (including exchange of share classes within the Fund), you must notify the Transfer Agent, or the Distributor must be notified by the financial intermediary facilitating the purchase, that the transaction qualifies for a waiver of the Class A or Class C sales charges. The waiver will be granted subject to confirmation of your account holdings.

Additional Information About Reducing or Waiving Class A’s and Class C's Sales Charges. The Fund also makes available free of charge, on the Fund's website, in a clear and prominent format, information relating to the Fund's Class A and Class C sales charges, and the different ways that investors can reduce or avoid paying the initial sales charge. The Fund's website includes hyperlinks that facilitate access to this information.

You may need to provide your financial intermediary through which you hold Fund shares with the information necessary to take full advantage of reduced or waived Class A or Class C sales charges.

The Distributor may reallow the Class A sales charge to dealers.

Class B Shares Automatically Convert to Class A Shares

If you bought Class B shares and hold them for approximately seven years, we will automatically convert them into Class A shares without charge. At that time, we will also convert any Class B shares that you purchased with reinvested dividends and other distributions. Since the distribution and service (12b-1) fees for Class A shares are lower than for Class B shares, converting to Class A shares lowers your Fund expenses. Class B shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions will be converted to Class A shares according to the procedures utilized by the broker-dealer through which the Class B shares were purchased, if the shares are carried on the books of that broker-dealer and the broker-dealer provides subaccounting services to the Fund. Otherwise, the procedures utilized by PMFS or its affiliates will be used. The use of different procedures may result in a timing differential in the conversion of Class B shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

When we do the conversion, you will get fewer Class A shares than the number of converted Class B shares if the price of the Class A shares is higher than the price of the Class B shares. The total dollar value will be the same, so you will not have lost any money by getting fewer Class A shares. Conversions are quarterly for Class B shares.

If you hold Class B share certificates, the certificates must be received by the Transfer Agent in order for your Class B shares to convert from Class B to Class A shares. Certificate deposited shares will convert during the next quarterly conversion.

Qualifying for Class Z Shares

Institutional Investors. Various institutional investors may purchase Class Z shares, including corporations, banks, governmental entities, municipalities, hospitals, insurance companies and IRS Section 501 entities, such as foundations and endowments. The minimum initial investment for such investors generally is $5 million; however, such minimum initial investment may be modified for certain financial firms that submit orders on behalf of their clients. A Fund or the Distributor may lower, waive, or otherwise modify the minimum initial investment for certain categories of investors at their discretion. Institutional investors are responsible for indicating their eligibility to purchase Class Z

shares at the time of purchase. Certain financial intermediaries may require that investments by their institutional investor clients in Class Z shares be placed directly with the Fund's Transfer Agent. Please contact the Transfer Agent at (800) 225-1852 for further details.

Mutual Fund Programs. Class Z shares can be purchased by participants in any fee-based program or trust program sponsored by Prudential or an affiliate that includes the Fund as an available option. Class Z shares also can be purchased by investors in certain programs sponsored by financial intermediaries who offer Class Z shares of the Fund, or whose programs are available through financial intermediaries that offer Class Z shares of the Fund, for:

■	Mutual fund “wrap” or asset allocation programs where the sponsor places fund trades, links its clients' accounts to a master account in the sponsor's name and charges its clients a management, consulting or other fee for its services; or
■	Mutual fund “supermarket” programs where the sponsor links its clients' accounts to a master account in the sponsor's name and the sponsor charges a fee for its services.

Financial intermediaries sponsoring these mutual fund programs may offer their clients more than one class of shares in the Fund in connection with different pricing options for their programs. Investors should consider carefully any separate transaction and other fees charged by these programs in connection with investing in a share class offered by the program before selecting a share class.

Group Retirement Plans. Group retirement plans (including defined contribution plans, defined benefit plans and deferred compensation plans) available through a retirement plan recordkeeper or third party administrator may purchase Class Z shares. If Prudential Retirement Services is the recordkeeper for your group retirement plan, you may call Prudential at (800) 353-2847 with any questions. Otherwise, investors in group retirement plans should contact their financial intermediary with any questions regarding availability of Class Z shares.

Other Types of Investors. Class Z shares also can be purchased by any of the following:

■	Certain participants in the MEDLEY Program (group variable annuity contracts) sponsored by Prudential for whom Class Z shares of the PGIM Funds are an available option;
■	Current and former Directors/Trustees of mutual funds managed by PGIM Investments or any other affiliate of Prudential;
■	Current and former employees (including their spouses, children and parents) of Prudential and its affiliates; former employees must have an existing investment in the Fund;
■	Prudential (including any program or account sponsored by Prudential or an affiliate that includes the Fund as an available option);
■	PGIM Funds, including PGIM funds-of-funds;
■	Qualified state tuition programs (529 plans); and
■	Investors working with fee-based consultants for investment selection and allocations.

Qualifying for Class R6 Shares

Group Retirement Plans. Group retirement plans (including defined contribution plans, defined benefit plans and deferred compensation plans) available through a retirement plan recordkeeper or third party administrator may purchase Class R6 shares. If Prudential Retirement Services is the recordkeeper for your group retirement plan, you may call Prudential at (800) 353-2847 with any questions. Otherwise, investors in group retirement plans should contact their financial intermediary with any questions regarding availability of Class R6 shares.

Institutional Investors. Various institutional investors may purchase Class R6 shares, including, but not limited to, corporations, governmental entities, municipalities, hospitals, insurance companies and IRS Section 501 entities, such as foundations and endowments and other institutional investors who meet requirements as detailed below. The minimum initial investment for such investors generally is $5 million; however, such minimum initial investment may be modified for certain financial firms that submit orders on behalf of their clients. The Fund or the Distributor may lower, waive or otherwise modify the minimum initial investment for certain categories of investors at their discretion. Institutional investors are responsible for indicating their eligibility to purchase Class R6 shares at the time of purchase.

48	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Other Types of Investors. Class R6 shares may also be purchased by Prudential (including any program or account sponsored by Prudential or an affiliate that includes the Fund as an available option), and PGIM funds, including PGIM funds-of-funds.

Class R6 shares may only be purchased from financial intermediaries who offer such shares.

Class R6 shares are offered to eligible investors provided that the Fund or its affiliates are not required to make or pay any type of administrative, sub-accounting, networking or revenue sharing payments or similar fees paid to intermediaries.

How Financial Intermediaries are Compensated for Selling Fund Shares

The PGIM Funds are distributed by Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (the “Distributor”), a broker-dealer that is licensed to sell securities. The Distributor generally does not sell shares of the Funds directly to the public, but instead markets and sells the Funds through other broker-dealers, 401(k) providers, retirement plan administrators, and other financial intermediaries. Each Fund is managed by the Manager.

Only persons licensed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), as a registered representative (often referred to as a broker or financial adviser) and associated with a specific financial services firm may sell shares of a mutual fund to you, or to a retirement plan in which you participate.

Rule 12b-1 Fees & Sales Charges. The Distributor has agreements in place with financial intermediaries defining how much each firm will be paid for the sale of a particular mutual fund from front-end sales charges, if any, paid by Fund shareholders and from fees paid to the Distributor by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (Rule 12b-1). These financial intermediaries then pay their registered representatives who sold you the Fund some or all of what they received from the Distributor. The registered representatives may receive a payment when the sale is made and can, in some cases, continue to receive ongoing payments while you are invested in the Fund. The Distributor may change at any time, without prior notice, the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees that it pays (when the sale is made and/or any ongoing payments) to financial intermediaries and registered representatives so that the Distributor may retain all or a portion of such fees.

“Revenue Sharing” Payments. In addition to the compensation received by financial intermediaries as described above, the Manager or certain of its affiliates (but not the Distributor) may make additional payments (which are often referred to as “revenue sharing” payments) to the financial intermediaries from the Manager's or certain affiliates' own resources, including from the profits derived from management or other fees received from the Fund, without additional direct or indirect cost to the Fund or its shareholders, provided that no such additional payments to financial intermediaries are made with respect to the Fund's Class R6 shares. Revenue sharing payments are in addition to the front-end sales charges paid by Fund shareholders or fees paid pursuant to plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1. The Manager or certain of its affiliates may revise the terms of any existing revenue sharing arrangement, and may enter into additional revenue sharing arrangements with other financial intermediaries in the future.

Revenue sharing arrangements are intended to foster the sale of Fund shares and/or to compensate financial intermediaries for assisting in marketing or promotional activities in connection with the sale of Fund shares. In exchange for revenue sharing payments, the Fund generally expects to receive the opportunity for the Fund to be sold through the financial intermediaries' sales force or access to third-party platforms or other marketing programs, including but not limited to mutual fund “supermarket” platforms or other sales programs. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving revenue sharing payments sell more shares of the Fund, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the increase in Fund assets as a result of the management and distribution fees they receive from the Fund, respectively. Increased sales of Fund shares also may benefit shareholders, since an increase in Fund assets may allow the Fund to expand its investment opportunities, and increased Fund assets may result in reduced Fund operating expenses.

Revenue sharing payments, as well as the other types of payments described above, may provide an incentive for financial intermediaries and their registered representatives to recommend or sell shares of the Fund to you and in doing so may create conflicts of interest between the firms' financial interests and their duties to customers.

If your Fund shares are purchased through a retirement plan, the Manager or certain of its affiliates (but not the Distributor) may also make revenue sharing payments to the plan's recordkeeper or an affiliate, which generally is not a registered broker-dealer.

It is likely that financial intermediaries that execute portfolio transactions for the Fund will include those firms with which the Manager and/or certain of its affiliates have entered into revenue sharing arrangements. Neither the Manager nor any subadviser may consider sales of Fund shares as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Manager and certain of its affiliates will not use Fund brokerage as any part of revenue sharing payments to financial intermediaries.

Revenue sharing payments are usually calculated based on a percentage of Fund sales and/or Fund assets attributable to a particular financial services firm. Payments may also be based on other criteria or factors, for example, a fee per each transaction. Specific payment formulas are negotiated based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, reputation in the industry, ability to attract and retain assets, target markets, customer relationships and scope and quality of services provided. The Manager and/or certain of its affiliates make such payments to financial intermediaries in amounts that generally range from 0.02% up to 0.20% of Fund assets serviced and maintained by the financial intermediaries or from 0.10% to 0.25% of sales of Fund shares attributable to the firm. In addition, the Manager and/or certain of its affiliates may pay flat fees on a one-time or irregular basis for the initial set-up of the Fund on a financial services intermediary’s systems, participation or attendance at a financial services firm's meeting, or for other reasons. These amounts are subject to change. In addition, the costs associated with visiting the financial intermediaries to make presentations, and/or train and educate the personnel of the financial intermediaries, may be paid by the Manager and/or certain of its affiliates, subject to applicable FINRA regulations.

Please contact the registered representative (or his or her firm) who sold shares of the Fund to you for details about any payments the financial intermediary may receive from the Manager and/or certain of its affiliates. You should review your financial intermediary’s disclosure and/or talk to your financial intermediary to obtain more information on how this compensation may have influenced your financial intermediary’s recommendation of the Fund. Additional information regarding these revenue sharing payments is included in the SAI which is available to you at no additional charge.

Other Payments Received by Financial Intermediaries

Administrative, Sub-Accounting and Networking Fees. In addition to, rather than in lieu of, the fees that the Fund may pay to financial intermediaries as described above, and the fees the Fund pays to the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent or its affiliates may enter into additional agreements on behalf of the Fund with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund will pay financial intermediaries for certain administrative, sub-accounting and networking services, provided that no such additional payments to financial intermediaries are made with respect to the Fund's Class R6 shares. These services include maintenance of shareholder accounts by the firms, such as recordkeeping and other activities that otherwise would be performed by the Transfer Agent. Sub-accounting services encompass activities that reduce the burden of recordkeeping to the Fund. Administrative fees are paid to a firm that undertakes, for example, shareholder communications on behalf of the Fund. Networking services are services undertaken to support the electronic transmission of shareholder purchase and redemption orders through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”).

These payments, as discussed above, are paid out of Fund assets and generally based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of Fund shareholders serviced by a financial intermediary or (2) a fixed dollar amount for each account serviced by a financial services firm. From time to time, the Manager or certain of its affiliates (but not the Distributor) also may pay a portion of the fees for the services to the financial intermediaries at their own expense and out of their own resources.

50	PGIM Real Assets Fund

In addition, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for NSCC fees that are invoiced to the Distributor as the party to the Agreement with NSCC for the administrative services provided by NSCC to the Fund and its shareholders. These administrative services provided by NSCC to the Fund and its shareholders include transaction processing and settlement through Fund/SERV, electronic networking services to support the transmission of shareholder purchase and redemption orders to and from financial intermediaries, and related recordkeeping provided by NSCC to the Fund and its shareholders. These payments are generally based on a transaction fee rate for certain administrative services plus a fee for other administrative services.

Anti-Money Laundering

In accordance with federal law, the Fund has adopted policies designed to deter money laundering. Under the policies, the Fund will not knowingly engage in financial transactions that involve proceeds from unlawful activity or support terrorist activities, and shall file government reports, including those concerning suspicious activities, as required by applicable law. The Fund will seek to confirm the identity of potential shareholders to include both individuals and entities through documentary and non-documentary methods. Non-documentary methods may include verification of name, address, date of birth and tax identification number with selected credit bureaus. The Fund has also appointed an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer to oversee the Fund's anti-money laundering policies.

Understanding the Price You'll Pay

The price you pay for each share of the Fund is based on the share value. The share value of a mutual fund—known as the net asset value or NAV—is determined by a simple calculation: it's the total value of the Fund (assets minus liabilities) divided by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if the value of the investments held by Fund XYZ (minus its liabilities) is $1,000 and there are 100 shares of Fund XYZ owned by shareholders, the value of one share of the Fund—or the NAV—is $10 ($1,000 divided by 100).

  

The Fund's NAV will be determined every day on which the Fund is open as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund's portfolio securities are valued based upon market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available, at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board. These procedures include pricing methodologies for determining the fair value of certain types of securities and other assets held by the Fund that do not have quoted market prices, and authorize the use of other pricing sources, such as bid prices supplied by a principal market maker and evaluated prices supplied by pricing vendors that employ analytic methodologies that take into account the prices of similar securities and other market factors.

If the Fund determines that a market quotation for a security is not reliable based on, among other things, events or market conditions that occur with respect to one or more securities held by the Fund or the market as a whole, after the quotation is derived or after the closing of the primary market on which the security is traded, but before the time that the Fund's NAV is determined, the Fund may use “fair value pricing,” which is implemented by a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) consisting of representatives of the Manager or by the Board. The subadviser often provides relevant information for the Valuation Committee meeting. In addition, the Fund may use fair value pricing determined by the Valuation Committee or Board if the pricing source does not provide an evaluated price for a security or provides an evaluated price that, in the judgment of the Manager (which may be based upon a recommendation from the subadviser), does not represent fair value. Equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges are valued using pricing vendor services that provide fair value model prices. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements. Utilizing that

evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. Non-US securities markets are open for trading on weekends and other days when the Fund does not price shares. Therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s shares.

Investments in open-end non-exchange-traded mutual funds will be valued at their NAV as determined as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation, which will reflect the mutual fund’s fair valuation procedures.

Different valuation methods may result in differing values for the same security. The fair value of a portfolio security that the Fund uses to determine its NAV may differ from the security's quoted or published price. If the Fund needs to implement fair value pricing after the NAV publishing deadline but before shares of the Fund are processed, the NAV you receive or pay may differ from the published NAV price. The prospectuses of any other mutual funds in which the Fund invests will explain each fund’s procedures and policies with respect to the use of fair value pricing.

Fair value pricing procedures are designed to result in prices for the Fund's securities and its NAV that are reasonable in light of the circumstances which make or have made market quotations unavailable or unreliable, and may have the effect of reducing arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance, however, that fair value pricing will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day or that it will prevent dilution of the Fund's NAV by short-term traders.

What Price Will You Pay for Shares of the Fund? For Class A shares, you'll pay the public offering price, which is the NAV next determined after we receive your order to purchase, plus an initial sales charge (unless you're entitled to a waiver). For all other share classes, you will pay the NAV next determined after we receive your order to purchase (remember, there are no up-front sales charges for these share classes). Your broker may charge you a separate or additional fee for purchases of shares. Unless regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, or later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, your order to purchase must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time in order to receive that day's NAV. In the event that regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, you will receive the following day's NAV if your order to purchase is received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption in NYSE trading as a closure of the NYSE and will price its shares as of 4:00 p.m., if the particular disruption directly affects only the NYSE. We deem an order received when it is received by the Transfer Agent at its processing center. If you submit your order through a broker or other financial intermediary, it may be deemed received when received by the broker or financial intermediary.

Each business day, the Fund’s current NAV per share is made available at www.pgiminvestments.com (click on “Prices and Yields,” under the “I’m Looking For…” section, and then select a fund).

Additional Shareholder Services

As a Fund shareholder, you can take advantage of the following services and privileges:

Automatic Reinvestment. As we explained in the “Fund Distributions and Tax Issues” section, the Fund pays out—or distributes—its net investment income and net capital gains to all shareholders. For your convenience, we will automatically reinvest your distributions in the Fund at NAV, without any sales charge. If you want your distributions paid in cash, you can indicate this preference on your application, or by notifying your broker or the Transfer Agent in writing (at the address below) at least five business days before the date we determine who receives dividends. For accounts held at the Transfer Agent (PMFS), distributions of $10.00 or less on non-retirement accounts will not be paid out in cash, but will be automatically reinvested into your account.

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC
P.O. Box 9658
Providence, RI 02940

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP). You can make regular purchases of the Fund by having a fixed amount of money automatically withdrawn from your bank or brokerage account at specified intervals. The minimum for subsequent investments through newly-established AIP accounts must be at least $50 monthly.

52	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Note: New AIPs in Class B shares may not be established. Class B shareholders may not make automatic investments in Class B shares through an AIP. A Class B shareholder must designate a different share class of the same fund or another fund for purchases. Shareholders may select another share class which they are eligible to purchase.

Retirement Plan Services. Prudential offers a wide variety of retirement plans for individuals and institutions, including large and small businesses. For information on IRAs, including Roth IRAs or SEP-IRAs for a one-person business, please contact your financial adviser. If you are interested in opening a 401(k) or other company-sponsored retirement plan (SIMPLE IRAs, SEP plans, Keoghs, 403(b)(7) plans, pension and profit-sharing plans), your financial adviser will help you determine which retirement plan best meets your needs. Complete instructions about how to establish and maintain your plan and how to open accounts for you and your employees will be included in the retirement plan kit you receive in the mail.

Note: Class B shareholders can continue to hold Class B shares in IRA and SIMPLE IRA accounts or in employer-sponsored retirement plans, but new contributions must be made in another share class.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan. A Systematic Withdrawal Plan is available that will provide you with monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual redemption checks. The Systematic Withdrawal Plan is not available to participants in certain retirement plans. Please contact PMFS at (800) 225-1852 for more details.

Reports to Shareholders. Every year we will send you an annual report (along with an updated prospectus) and a semi-annual report, which contain important financial information about the Fund. To reduce Fund expenses, we may send one annual shareholder report, one semi-annual shareholder report and one annual prospectus per household, unless you instruct us or your financial intermediary otherwise. If each Fund shareholder in your household would like to receive a copy of the Fund's prospectus and shareholder reports, please call us toll free at (800) 225-1852. We will begin sending additional copies of these documents within 30 days of receipt of your request.

HOW TO SELL YOUR SHARES

You can sell your Fund shares for cash at any time, subject to certain restrictions. For more information about these restrictions, see “Restrictions on Sales” below.

When you sell shares of the Fund—also known as redeeming your shares—the price you will receive will be the NAV next determined after the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary receives your order to sell (less any applicable CDSC).

Shares Held by Financial Intermediaries. If your financial intermediary holds your shares, your financial intermediary must receive your order to sell no later than the time regular trading on the NYSE closes—which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time—to process the sale on that day. In the event that regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, you will receive the following day's NAV if your order to sell is received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

Shares Held by the Transfer Agent. If the Transfer Agent holds your shares, PMFS must receive your order to sell no later than the time regular trading on the NYSE closes—which is usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time—to process the sale on that day. In the event that regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, you will receive the following day's NAV if your order to sell is received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

Payment for Shares You Have Sold

Shares Held by Financial Intermediaries. Typically, if your order to sell shares is received in good order, payment will be credited to your account within 1 to 3 business days after the order is received, but in any event within seven days. Your broker may charge you a separate or additional fee for sales of shares.

Shares Held by the Transfer Agent. Typically, if your order to sell shares is received in good order, we will send payment on the next business day, but in any event within seven days, regardless of the method of payment (e.g., payment by check, wire or electronic transfer (ACH)).

Restrictions on Sales

If you are selling shares you recently purchased with a check, we may delay sending you the proceeds until your check clears, which can take up to seven days from the purchase date.

As a result of restrictions on withdrawals and transfers imposed by Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we may consider a redemption request to not be in good order until we obtain information from your employer that is reasonably necessary to ensure that the payment is in compliance with such restrictions, if applicable. In such an event, the redemption request will not be in good order and we will not process it until we obtain information from your employer.

In addition, there are certain times when you may not be able to sell shares of the Fund or when we may delay paying you the proceeds from a sale. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the former may happen only during unusual market conditions or emergencies when the Fund is unable to determine the value of its assets or sell its holdings. For more information, see the SAI.

If you hold your shares directly with the Transfer Agent, you will need to have the signature on your sell order Medallion signature guaranteed if:

■	You are selling more than $100,000 of shares;
■	You want the redemption proceeds made payable to someone that is not in the Transfer Agent’s records;
■	You want the redemption proceeds sent to an address that is not in the Transfer Agent’s records;
■	You are a business or a trust; or
■	You are redeeming due to the death of the shareholder or on behalf of the shareholder.

The Medallion signature guarantee may be obtained from an authorized officer from a bank, broker, dealer, securities exchange or association, clearing agency, savings association, or credit union that is participating in one of the recognized Medallion guarantee programs (STAMP, SEMP, or NYSE MSP), but not from a notary public. The Medallion signature guarantee must be appropriate for the dollar amount of the transaction. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to reject sale transactions where the value of the transaction exceeds the value of the surety coverage indicated on the Medallion imprint. The Fund may change the signature guarantee requirements from time to time without prior notice to shareholders. For more information, see the SAI.

How the Fund Pays for Shares You Have Sold

Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to pay for shares that you have sold primarily by using cash or cash equivalents in its portfolio or selling portfolio assets to generate cash. Supplementally, the Fund may also raise cash to pay for sold shares by short-term borrowing in the form of overdrafts permitted by the Fund’s custodian bank and/or by short-term borrowing from a group of banks through an unsecured credit facility, which is intended to provide the Fund with a temporary additional source of liquidity. In certain circumstances the Fund reserves the right to pay for sold shares by giving you securities from the Fund’s portfolio. If you receive securities, you would incur transaction costs in converting the securities to cash, and you may receive less for the securities than the price at which they were valued for redemption purposes.

During stressed market conditions, it may be impractical or impossible to raise sufficient cash to pay for sold shares through the primary methods described above. In these circumstances, the Fund would be more likely to rely more heavily on the credit facility as a source of liquidity, as described above.

54	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)

If you sell Class B shares within six years of purchase or Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a CDSC. In addition, if you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares, although you are not subject to an initial sales charge, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (the CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans). To keep the CDSC as low as possible, we will sell amounts representing shares in the following order:

■	Amounts representing shares you purchased with reinvested dividends and distributions,
■	Amounts representing the increase in NAV above the total amount of payments for shares made during the past 12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases), six years for Class B shares, and 12 months for Class C shares, and
■	Amounts representing the cost of shares held beyond the CDSC period (12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases), six years for Class B shares, and 12 months for Class C shares).

Since shares that fall into any of the categories listed above are not subject to the CDSC, selling them first helps you to avoid—or at least minimize—the CDSC.

Having sold the exempt shares first, if there are any remaining shares that are subject to the CDSC, we will apply the CDSC to amounts representing the cost of shares held for the longest period of time within the applicable CDSC period.

The CDSC is calculated based on the lesser of the original purchase price or the net asset value at redemption. The rate decreases on the anniversary date of your purchase.

The holding period for purposes of determining the applicable CDSC will be calculated from the anniversary date of the purchase, excluding any time Class B or Class C shares were held in a money market fund.

Waiver of the CDSC—Class A Shares

The CDSC will be waived if the Class A shares are sold:

■	After a shareholder is deceased or permanently disabled (or, in the case of a trust account, after the death or permanent disability of the grantor). This waiver applies to individual shareholders, as well as shares held in joint tenancy, provided the shares were purchased before the death or permanent disability;
■	To provide for certain distributions—made without IRS penalty—from a qualified or tax-deferred retirement plan, benefit plan, IRA or Section 403(b) custodial account; and
■	To withdraw excess contributions from a qualified or tax-deferred retirement plan, IRA or Section 403(b) custodial account.

For more information, see the SAI.

Waiver of the CDSC—Class B Shares

The CDSC will be waived if the Class B shares are sold:

■	After a shareholder is deceased or permanently disabled (or, in the case of a trust account, after the death or permanent disability of the grantor). This waiver applies to individual shareholders, as well as shares held in joint tenancy, provided the shares were purchased before the death or permanent disability;
■	To provide for certain distributions—made without IRS penalty—from a qualified or tax-deferred retirement plan, benefit plan, IRA or Section 403(b) custodial account;
■	To withdraw excess contributions from a qualified or tax-deferred retirement plan, IRA or Section 403(b) custodial account; and
■	On certain redemptions effected through a Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

For more information, see the SAI.

Waiver of the CDSC—Class C Shares

The CDSC will be waived if the Class C shares are sold:

■

After a shareholder is deceased or permanently disabled (or, in the case of a trust account, after the death or permanent disability of the grantor). This waiver applies to individual shareholders, as well as shares held in joint tenancy, provided the shares were purchased before the death or permanent disability;

Involuntary Redemption of Small Accounts Held by the Transfer Agent

If the value of your account with PMFS is less than $500 for any reason, we may sell your shares (without charging any CDSC) and close your account. We would do this to minimize the Fund's expenses paid by other shareholders. The involuntary sale provisions do not apply to Automatic Investment Plan (AIP) accounts, employee savings plan accounts, payroll deduction plan accounts, retirement accounts (such as a 401(k) plan, an IRA or other qualified or tax-deferred plan or account), omnibus accounts, and accounts for which a broker or other financial intermediary is responsible for recordkeeping. Prior thereto, if you make a sale that reduces your account value to less than the threshold, we may sell the rest of your shares (without charging any CDSC) and close your account; this involuntary sale does not apply to shareholders who own their shares as part of a retirement account. For more information, see “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares—Involuntary Redemption” in the SAI.

Account Maintenance Fee for Accounts Held by the Transfer Agent

If the value of your account with PMFS is less than $10,000, with certain exclusions, a $15 annual account maintenance fee will be deducted from your account during the 4th calendar quarter of each year. Any applicable CDSC on the shares redeemed to pay the account maintenance fee will be waived. For more information, see “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares—Account Maintenance Fee” in the SAI.

90-Day Repurchase Privilege

After you redeem your shares, you have a 90-day period during which you may reinvest back into your account any of the redemption proceeds in shares of the same Fund without paying an initial sales charge. In order to take advantage of this privilege, you must notify the Transfer Agent or your broker at the time of the repurchase. This privilege can only be used once in a 12-month period. For more information, see the SAI.

The terms of this privilege may vary by financial intermediary. For more information, see “Appendix A: Waivers and Discounts Available From Certain Financial Intermediaries.”

Retirement Plans

To sell shares and receive a distribution from your retirement account, call your broker or the Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. There are special distribution and income tax withholding requirements for distributions from retirement plans and you must submit a withholding form with your request to avoid delay. If your retirement plan account is held for you by your employer or plan trustee, you must arrange for the distribution request to be signed and sent by the plan administrator or trustee. For additional information, see the SAI.

HOW TO EXCHANGE YOUR SHARES

You can generally exchange your shares of the Fund for shares of the same class in certain other PGIM Funds—including PGIM Government Money Market Fund—if you satisfy the minimum investment requirements. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of the Fund for Class A shares of other funds in the PGIM Funds mutual fund family, but you can’t exchange Class A shares for a different share class of another fund.

In addition, Class R6 shares cannot be exchanged for Class R6 shares of the Prudential Day One Funds or the PGIM 60/40 Allocation Fund.

After an exchange, at redemption, any CDSC will be calculated from the date of the initial purchase, excluding any time that Class B or Class C shares were held in PGIM Government Money Market Fund. We may change the terms of any exchange privilege after giving you 60 days' notice.

56	PGIM Real Assets Fund

Note: Class B shares may not be purchased or acquired by any Class B shareholder except by exchange from Class B shares of another fund or through dividend and/or capital gains reinvestment.

There is no sales charge for exchanges. However, if you exchange—and then sell—shares within the applicable CDSC period, you must still pay the applicable CDSC. At the time of exchange, CDSC liable shares and free shares move proportionally according to the percentage of total shares you are exchanging. If you have exchanged Class B or Class C shares into PGIM Government Money Market Fund, the time you hold the Class B or Class C shares in the money market fund will not be counted in calculating the required holding period for CDSC liability.

For investors in certain programs sponsored by financial intermediaries that offer shares of the Fund, or whose programs are available through financial intermediaries that offer shares of the Fund for mutual fund “wrap” or asset allocation programs or mutual fund “supermarket” programs, an exchange may be made from Class A to Class Z shares of the Fund in certain limited circumstances. Contact your program sponsor or financial intermediary with any questions.

Exchanging Shares Held by a Financial Intermediary. If you hold shares through a financial intermediary, you must exchange shares through your financial intermediary.

Exchanging Shares Held by the Transfer Agent. If you hold shares through the Transfer Agent, contact your financial advisor or PMFS at (800) 225-1852 or write to PMFS at:

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC
P.O. Box 9658
Providence, RI 02940

If you participate in any fee-based program where the Fund is an available investment option, you may arrange with the Transfer Agent or your recordkeeper to exchange your Class A shares, if any, for Class Z shares when you elect to participate in the fee-based program. When you no longer participate in the program, you may arrange with the Transfer Agent or your recordkeeper to exchange all of your Class Z shares, including shares purchased while you were in the program, for Class A shares.

Remember, as we explained in the section entitled “Fund Distributions and Tax Issues—If You Sell or Exchange Your Shares,” exchanging shares is considered a sale for tax purposes. Therefore, if the shares you exchange are worth more than the amount that you paid for them, you may have to pay capital gains tax. For additional information about exchanging shares, see the SAI.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares

The Fund seeks to prevent patterns of frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by its shareholders. Frequent purchases and sales of shares of the Fund may adversely affect Fund performance and the interests of long-term investors. When a shareholder engages in frequent or short-term trading, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to redeem the shareholder's shares. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the Fund's performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, frequent trading can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because the Fund cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, if the Fund is forced to liquidate investments due to short-term trading activity, it may incur increased brokerage and tax costs. Similarly, the Fund may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of short-term trading. Moreover, frequent or short-term trading by certain shareholders may cause dilution in the value of Fund shares held by other shareholders. Funds that invest in non-US securities may be particularly susceptible to frequent trading because time zone differences among international stock markets can allow a shareholder engaging in frequent trading to exploit fund share prices that may be based on closing prices of non-US securities established some time before the Fund calculates its own share price. Funds that invest in certain fixed-income securities, such as high-yield bonds or certain asset-backed securities, may also constitute an effective vehicle for a shareholder's frequent trading strategy.

The Fund does not knowingly accommodate or permit frequent trading, and the Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage or prevent frequent trading activities by Fund shareholders. In an effort to prevent such practices, the Fund's Transfer Agent monitors trading activity on a daily basis. The Fund has implemented a trading policy that limits the number of times a shareholder may purchase Fund shares or exchange into the Fund and then sell those shares within a specified period of time (a “round-trip transaction”) as established by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The CCO is authorized to set and modify the parameters of the trading policy at any time as required to prevent the adverse impact of frequent trading on Fund shareholders.

The CCO has defined frequent trading as one or more round-trip transactions in shares of the Fund within a 30-day period. If this occurs, the shareholder’s account will be subject to a 60-day warning period. If a second round-trip occurs before the conclusion of the 60-day warning period, a trading suspension will be placed on the account by the Fund’s Transfer Agent that will remain in effect for 90 days. The trading suspension will relate to purchases and exchange purchases (but not redemptions) in the Fund in which the frequent trading occurred. Exceptions to the trading policy will not normally be granted.

Transactions in the PGIM money market funds are excluded from this policy. In addition, transactions by affiliated PGIM funds, which are structured as “funds-of-funds,” and invest primarily in other mutual funds within the PGIM Fund family, are not subject to the limitations of the trading policy and are not considered frequent or short-term trading.

The Fund reserves the right to reject or cancel, without prior notice, all additional purchases or exchanges into the Fund by a shareholder. Moreover, the Fund may direct a broker-dealer or other intermediary to block a shareholder account from future trading in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will monitor trading activity over $25,000 per account on a daily basis for a rolling 90-day period. If a purchase into the Fund is rejected or canceled, the shareholder will receive a return of the purchase amount.

If the Fund is offered to qualified plans on an omnibus basis or if Fund shares may be purchased through other omnibus arrangements, such as through a financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, or an administrator or trustee of a retirement plan (“Intermediaries”) that holds your shares in an account under its name, Intermediaries maintain the individual beneficial owner records and submit to the Fund only aggregate orders combining the transactions of many beneficial owners. The Fund itself generally cannot monitor trading by particular beneficial owners. The Fund has notified Intermediaries in writing that it expects the Intermediaries to impose restrictions on transfers by beneficial owners. Intermediaries may impose different or stricter restrictions on transfers by beneficial owners. Consistent with the restrictions described above, investments in the Fund through retirement programs administered by Prudential Retirement will be similarly identified for frequent purchases and redemptions and appropriately restricted.

The Transfer Agent also reviews the aggregate net flows in excess of $1 million. In those cases, the trade detail is reviewed to determine if any of the activity relates to potential offenders. In cases of omnibus orders, the Intermediary may be contacted by the Transfer Agent to obtain additional information. The Transfer Agent has the authority to cancel all or a portion of the trade if the information reveals that the activity relates to potential offenders. Where appropriate, the Transfer Agent may request that the Intermediary block a financial adviser or client from accessing the Fund. If necessary, the Fund may be removed from a particular Intermediary's platform.

Shareholders seeking to engage in frequent trading activities may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the efforts of the Fund to prevent such trading, there is no guarantee that the Fund, the Transfer Agent or Intermediaries will be able to identify these shareholders or curtail their trading practices. The Fund does not have any arrangements intended to permit trading of its shares in contravention of the policies described above.

Telephone Redemptions or Exchanges

You may redeem your shares of the Fund if the proceeds of the redemption do not exceed $250,000 or exchange your shares in any amount by calling the Fund at (800) 225-1852 and communicating your instructions in good order to a customer service representative before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. You will receive a redemption or exchange amount

58	PGIM Real Assets Fund

based on that day's NAV. Certain restrictions apply; please see the section entitled “How to Sell Your Shares—Restrictions on Sales” above for additional information. In the event that regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, you will receive the following day's NAV if your order to sell or exchange is received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

The Transfer Agent will record your telephone instructions and request specific account information before redeeming or exchanging shares. The Fund will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions if it follows instructions that it reasonably believes are made by the shareholder. If the Fund does not follow reasonable procedures, it may be liable.

In the event of drastic economic or market changes, you may have difficulty in redeeming or exchanging your shares by telephone. If this occurs, you should consider redeeming or exchanging your shares by mail or through your broker.

The telephone redemption and exchange procedures may be modified or terminated at any time. If this occurs, you will receive a written notice from the Fund.

Expedited Redemption Privilege

If you have selected the Expedited Redemption Privilege, you may have your redemption proceeds sent directly to your bank account. Expedited redemption requests may be made by telephone or letter, must be received by the Transfer Agent prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to receive a redemption amount based on that day's NAV and are subject to the terms and conditions regarding the redemption of shares. In the event that regular trading on the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, you will receive the following day's NAV if your order to sell is received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For more information, see the SAI. The Expedited Redemption Privilege may be modified or terminated at any time without notice.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Introduction

The consolidated financial highlights will help you evaluate the Fund's financial performance for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, the fiscal period ended October 31, 2015, and the fiscal years ended February 28, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Certain information reflects financial results for a single fund share. The total return in each chart represents the rate that a shareholder would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund, assuming investment at the start of the period and reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions. The information is for the periods indicated.

These consolidated financial highlights were derived from the consolidated financial statements audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report on those consolidated financial statements was unqualified.

A copy of the Fund's annual report, along with the Fund's audited consolidated financial statements and report of independent registered public accounting firm, is available upon request, at no charge, as described on the back cover of this Prospectus.

The Fund’s Customized Blend Benchmark (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (33.3%), Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Real Estate Net Dividend (ND) Index (33.3%) and Bloomberg Barclays US TIPS Index (33.3%). Each component of the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison of the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than on amounts allocated to various Fund segments. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund or taxes. The Bloomberg Commodity Index is a diversified benchmark for the commodity futures market. It is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities traded on US exchanges, with the exception of aluminum, nickel, and zinc, which trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME). The MSCI World Real Estate Index is a sub-index of the MSCI World Index and represents only securities in the GICS Real Estate Industry Group. The returns for the Customized Blend would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes.

Bloomberg Barclays US TIPS Index. The Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index (TIPS Index) is an unmanaged index that consists of inflation-protected securities issued by the US Treasury. Index returns do not include the effect of any sales charges, mutual fund operating expenses or taxes. These returns would be lower if they included the effect of sales charges, mutual fund operating expenses or taxes.

Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Average. The Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Average is based on the average return of all mutual funds in the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds universe. Returns do not include the effect of any sales charges or taxes. The returns would be lower if they included the effect of sales charges or taxes.

APPENDIX A: WAIVERS AND DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

In all instances, it is the purchaser's responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser's financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares through the applicable intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
