SDHY - PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund

What this means for you

One large investor owns more than 5% of this fund but has told the regulator it is not seeking changes. That is common for banks, brokers and index funds that hold shares for their clients.

Nothing is required of you. If an investor changes its mind, it must file a new notice within days, and it will show up here.

About this fund

• Run by PGIM Investments LLC. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
• Size: about $424 million of holdings, as of July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Borrowing: the fund does not borrow. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Costs: 1% a year in management fees; 1.2% a year in total, including interest on borrowed money. Fiscal year ended July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
  Among the 19 funds we follow that invest in high-yield bonds, 10 charge a lower management fee and 4 charge less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts.
• Payouts: last fiscal year (ended July 31, 2026) the fund paid $1.26 a share. $0.94 of that was income; $0.32 was your own money back, not income. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (July 31, 2026): $17.16. The shares traded at $16.14, about 5.9% below that. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
• How the holdings did: up 1.6% over the last three months we have (May-July 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• First reported to the regulator in 2020.

What a holder made

• The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to July 31, 2026: +4.6%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone. As of July 31, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →

• A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.

Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
