Key Terms

actively managed etf financial

An actively managed ETF is an exchange-traded fund that buys and sells stocks or bonds based on decisions by a professional manager rather than automatically following a fixed list of investments. Because the manager can adapt holdings to market changes, these funds aim to beat a benchmark or reduce risk, which can mean higher fees and manager-dependent results—important for investors weighing potential extra returns against cost and consistency.

net expense ratio financial

The net expense ratio is the percentage of a fund’s assets taken each year to cover its operating costs and management fees after any fee waivers or reimbursements. Think of it as an annual toll on your investment: the higher the percentage, the more it reduces the fund’s returns over time, so investors use it to compare how much different funds will cost and how those costs may erode gains.

aum financial

Assets under management (AUM) is the total market value of investments that a financial firm or fund manages on behalf of clients. Investors watch AUM like the size of a shop: larger AUM can mean more fee revenue, greater market influence and perceived stability, while rapid changes in AUM signal growing popularity or redemptions that may affect future earnings and investment strategy.

“Expanding our actively managed ETF lineup remains a strategic priority for PGIM as investor demand for high quality, actively managed strategies in an ETF wrapper continues to grow.” --Stuart Parker, Head of Global Wealth, PGIM

The PGIM Jennison U.S. Core Equity ETF is subadvised by Jennison, an investment group within PGIM that specializes in a range of fundamental active equity and fixed income investment strategies.

“Expanding our actively managed ETF lineup remains a strategic priority for PGIM as investor demand for high‑quality, actively managed strategies in an ETF wrapper continues to grow,” said Stuart Parker, head of Global Wealth, PGIM. “The launch of PJUS reflects our ongoing focus on delivering investment solutions that are relevant, accessible and competitively priced to solve for investors’ portfolio objectives.”

The ETF is comprised of a roughly 100-stock core portfolio and its strategy is informed by Jennison’s fundamental, bottom‑up investment approach, which emphasizes in‑depth research and security selection while maintaining disciplined control of factor and risk exposures. It is offered at a 0.19% net expense ratio and is listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange.

“For more than five decades, Jennison has been built on the conviction that rigorous, bottom-up fundamental research is the foundation of long-term outperformance,” said Ken Moore, head of Jennison. “We are excited to apply that same research-led discipline and deep security-selection expertise to a benchmark-aware core-equity strategy, backed by a team of more than 50 experienced investment professionals with a singular focus on delivering strong outcomes for our clients and partners.”

With this launch, PGIM now offers over 60 actively managed ETFs across equity and fixed income asset classes. PGIM is the 12th-largest active ETF provider with $23 billion in AUM across the platform.²

As an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF), risks of investing in the Fund include, but are not limited to the following: The Fund is subject to authorized participant concentration risk and the risks of transacting in cash versus in kind. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and may lack an active trading market. Additional costs may be incurred when transacting through a broker. Equity and equity-related securities may be subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. The Fund’s blend investment style may subject the Fund to the risks of both value and growth investing. Large-capitalization companies go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions; the Fund’s value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations. As a non-diversified fund, investments in the Fund involve greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of a non-diversified fund. The Fund’s concentration in certain securities may cause the Fund to be adversely affected by the performance of those securities. Foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The Fund has a limited operating history and investment positions may have a disproportionate impact on performance. Derivatives may carry market, credit and liquidity risks. The Fund uses quantitative models. Securities or other investments selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market or from expected performance. There is no assurance that these methodologies will produce the desired results or enable the Fund to meet its objective. There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved. Risks are more fully explained in the Fund’s prospectus.

Consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the fund. Contact your financial professional for a prospectus and summary prospectus. Read them carefully before investing.
