The PGIM Jennison Global Opportunities Fund returned -11.7% in Q1 2026, underperforming the MSCI ACWI Index amid a challenging environment for growth equities. Geopolitical uncertainty and escalating conflict with Iran drove oil price spikes, while markets rotated toward lower-valuation, defensive areas. The team used the drawdown as an opportunity to refine positioning toward areas with physical capacity constraints rather than end-market uncertainty. Technology remains the largest exposure, but the fund increased AI infrastructure and semiconductor exposure through new positions in ASML, Lam Research, Broadcom, and Palantir, while reducing software exposure due to AI disruption concerns. Capital was reallocated toward Industrials, adding Siemens Energy, Bloom Energy, and GE Vernova to capture power demand tailwinds. The team also initiated aerospace positions in GE Aerospace and Carpenter Technology. Despite near-term headwinds, Jennison believes fundamentals remain strong and the fund is trading at a significant discount to long-term growth, positioning well for when earnings-driven leadership returns.
The fund is positioned toward areas where demand is constrained by physical capacity rather than end-market uncertainty, with concentrated exposure to AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and power demand themes where supply constraints create sustained pricing power.
Despite a difficult backdrop, fundamentals remain strong, with solid revenue and earnings growth, margin expansion, and durable competitive advantages. Recent share price declines reflect short-term sentiment rather than structural issues, leaving the Fund trading at a significant discount to its long-term growth. Near-term performance may remain influenced by macro conditions, but over time, Jennison expects earnings and fundamentals to reassert themselves, particularly in AI-driven and other structurally advantaged areas.
