PGIM Global Total Return Fund maintains a guardedly optimistic outlook for the continuation of the slow-going bull market in fixed income, driven by high and range-bound yields that generate returns through income accrual rather than price appreciation. The fund expects volatility to increase in 2026 as economic scenarios have wide tails while markets have coalesced around narrow outcomes. With credit spreads narrower and bulk of capital gains behind us, the strategy advocates for lighter risk and carry-type instruments. The positive yield curve environment should give long-term fixed income a performance advantage over cash.

The fund is positioned with duration views expressed through options markets, favoring banks and technology while underweight chemicals and life insurance. Key risks include geopolitical tensions, fiscal deficits, and Fed policy uncertainty as Chair Powell's term concludes in May 2026.
