"PGIM Core Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q3 2025 by favoring high-quality structured products and investment-grade corporate bonds within a stable, carry-driven fixed income environment."
During Q3 2025, the PGIM Core Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, on a gross basis. This performance was largely driven by strategic sector allocations—specifically overweights in non-agency CMBS AAA, CLO AAA, MBS, and U.S. investment-grade corporates—as well as strong security selection. PGIM maintains its 'muddle through' base case for the global economy, characterized by resilient consumer spending and moderate growth despite geopolitical and tariff risks. The Federal Reserve is expected to follow a gradual path toward a 3.0% neutral rate, with two more 25-bp cuts projected by year-end. Because credit spreads remain near multi-decade tights, the team describes current conditions as a 'carry market' where coupon income represents the primary driver of performance. Consequently, the fund continues to prioritize high-quality structured products, top-tier ABS originators, and BB/high-B rated bank loans while avoiding lower-quality, sponsor-owned CCC assets.
