PGIM Jennison Global Opportunities Fund returned -4.1% in Q4 2025, underperforming the MSCI ACWI Index primarily due to weakness in Information Technology holdings, which account for the largest portfolio exposure. Oracle declined on concerns over financing data center commitments for OpenAI, while AppLovin faced pressure from government data privacy inquiries. However, Alphabet was the strongest contributor due to Google's resurgence in GenAI through its Gemini app competing with ChatGPT. The team initiated positions in AMD and Cloudflare to capitalize on expanding GPU demand for agentic AI applications. Consumer Discretionary struggled due to persistent global macro issues, though Inditex performed well. Health Care holdings added value with Galderma reporting strong earnings. Looking forward, Jennison remains committed to growth opportunities, particularly the massive paradigm shift to GenAI across accelerated computing, agentic applications, search, robotics and autonomous driving. The team believes compressed Q4 valuations create a favorable setup for businesses with healthy fundamentals.
Jennison maintains focus on high quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and strong revenue growth profiles, with particular enthusiasm for secular growth opportunities in Generative AI, global consumer brands with unique pricing power, emerging markets consumer and financial technology platforms, and exciting product cycles within Health Care.
Jennison's focus on businesses with very healthy fundamentals, coupled with valuations compressing in Q4, hopefully leads to a good set-up for this year. The team remains unwavering in the commitment to growth opportunities and plans to execute with fluidity in the rapidly evolving GenAI opportunities that cross into multiple sectors.

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| AAPL | The largest 10 companies, by market capitalization, had reached 40.7% of the S&P 500 by the end of 2025, up from roughly 30% at the end of 2021. At the top of this list are Nvidia (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Broadcom (AVGO), Meta (META), and Tesla (TSLA). Apple: Market capitalization near $4 trillion. A double requires creating a company larger than the size of Walmart, JPMorgan, and Pfizer combined. |
| AMD | AMD was mentioned as an example of businesses that already make money, have shown they can do so through cycles and are priced so that we do not need everything to go right. |
| AMZN | We added to our holdings in Amazon.com Inc. |
| APP | AppLovin provides tools that help mobile app developers, particularly mobile game developers, market and monetize their products. We exited AppLovin after significant price appreciation. |
| GEV | The massive data center buildout is leading to a surge in demand for alternative and traditional energy generation, which led Jennison to add GE Vernova to the Fund's Industrials sector. Their natural gas turbine, wind, and electrification businesses, along with a rapidly growing and profitable services backlog, should support strong growth for the next several years. |
| GOOGL | I'm willing to go bankrupt rather than lose this race. Larry Page, co-founder of Google |
| ITX.MC | Inditex, the global fast fashion leader, performed well in Q4 as its products within Zara are resonating with consumers. |
| MSFT | OpenAI's well-documented 'circular' funding with its business partners (NVIDIA, Microsoft, among others) is additional cause for concern. |
| NET | Jennison also entered a new position in Cloudflare. Its network infrastructure delivers key applications over the internet in a cost-effective manner, with optimal security and best-in-class speed. They could be a big beneficiary of the move to agentic AI applications. |
| NFLX | Netflix has built a durable economic moat around its vertically-integrated, globally-scaled streaming business. As the first company to establish a global subscription media platform within the $500 billion TV market, Netflix is now reaping the benefits of its early leadership. With more than 300 million members, Netflix enjoys the lowest content cost per subscriber in the industry. |
| NTDOY | After a strong start, NTDOY was a bottom performer this quarter due to volatility at the beginning of the console cycles and rising cost due to external factors, as the cost of memory chips has increased. All of these are short term rather than any deterioration in the underlying business. The market is underappreciating NTDOY's evolving platform. There are external offsets to rising costs. We remain attracted to NTDOY's integrated hardware-software model, brand franchises, and the strength of its balance sheet. |
| NVDA | Nvidia sits at the top of the S&P 500 as the designer in the AI ecosystem. |
| ORCL | Investor enthusiasm for Oracle's stock in calendar year 2025 was initially driven by several multi-billion-dollar contracts it signed with leading AI companies, including OpenAI and Meta. However, in Q4 sentiment for ORCL's growth prospects shifted to skepticism, as investors began to scrutinize the return profile of the substantial capital investments required to support the approximately $500 billion of contracts signed by Oracle. |
| RMS.PA | Hermès was founded in Paris in 1837 as a maker of harnesses and saddles for Europe's horse-drawn elite. From the outset, the company was defined by functional excellence and craftsmanship rather than fashion. Today, the group is one of the most profitable companies in global luxury, with activities spanning leather goods, ready-to-wear, silk, jewellery, watches and homewares. Despite operating more than 300 stores globally and employing over 20,000 people, Hermès continues to behave less like a conglomerate and more like a craft maison, prioritising long-term brand equity over near-term growth. This mindset underpins why we find Hermès such a compelling business. Its brand equity is built not on seasonal fashion or loud marketing but on function, heritage and longevity. Hermès has delivered exceptional consistency in returns on capital and earnings through cycles, underpinned by disciplined supply, minimal discounting and limited fashion risk. This reduces downside volatility and supports higher through-cycle multiples. The benefits of the Hermès model have been particularly evident through the recent challenging period for the luxury sector. Slowing global demand, softer Chinese consumption and inventory pressure have led to revenue declines and margin contraction for many peers. Hermès has stood apart. Growth has moderated but remained positive, margins have proven resilient, and inventory discipline has been maintained. |
| SE | We also exited Sea Limited due to significant adverse investor sentiment following a worse-than-expected earnings report where a capex announcements on logistic networks and fulfilment led to margin compression. Experience suggests that when companies go through capex cycles, sentiment can remain volatile until investors are satisfied that the expenditure will lead to a bigger and better business. |
| SHOP | Shopify, an e-commerce platform that enables merchants to operate and scale digital storefronts, benefited from continued adoption by larger enterprises and improving monetization across its ecosystem. |
| TSM | TSMC leads the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as the manufacturer in the AI ecosystem. |
