Executive Summary

The PGIM Jennison Global Opportunities Fund delivered strong performance in Q2 2024, returning 6.4% and outperforming the MSCI ACWI Index's 2.9% return. The fund's focus on company-specific fundamentals drove results, with Information Technology leading performance through an overweight position and strong stock selection. NVIDIA continued to surpass expectations with data center growth, while Apple benefited from better-than-expected guidance and AI execution optimism. Broadcom captured next-generation chip wins at Google and Meta. Healthcare holdings Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk maintained momentum in GLP-1 medications for diabetes and obesity. Consumer Discretionary luxury names like LVMH and Hermes faced headwinds from spending concerns. The fund made selective portfolio changes, adding Fair Isaac in financial analytics software and industrial names Atlas Copco and Eaton Corporation, while eliminating MongoDB, Advanced Micro Devices, and Palo Alto. Despite macro challenges including a gathering consumer slowdown, the manager believes the environment should support further performance gains with holdings well-positioned for execution.
