"The PGIM Short Duration High Yield Income Fund is defensively positioned in short-duration bonds and high-quality carry like AAA CLOs, favoring selective overweights in Telecom and Home Construction to navigate historically tight spreads."
During 3Q 2025, high-yield spreads compressed to near-historic tights at 267 bps on the back of positive corporate earnings and a resilient technical environment. The PGIM Short Duration High Yield Income Fund navigated this period by maintaining an overweight to short-duration bonds, actively reducing its underweight to high-quality issuers (via additions in AAA CLOs), and managing key industry tilts. Overweights in Telecom, Home Construction, and Gaming/Lodging/Leisure remain key areas of conviction, while the fund remains underweight in the Consumer, Media & Entertainment, and Midstream Energy spaces. PGIM expects technicals to remain strong with manageable maturities and defaults, cushioning high-yield markets from ongoing macro and geopolitical risks.
