Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit

in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,

the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations, and changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period from July 1, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

Note 1 – Organization

Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust (the "Trust") is intended to constitute an exempt trust under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a group trust within the meaning of Rev. Rul. 81-100, as clarified and amended. The Trust is exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Wilmington Trust, N.A. ("WTNA" or the "Trustee") serves as the Trustee of the Trust.

The Trustee is responsible for maintaining and administering the Trust and the PGIM Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") and also serves as the investment adviser (the "Investment Adviser") to the Fund. M&T Bank Corporation is the ultimate parent of the Trustee. State Street Bank and Trust Company provides custody and transfer agency services for the Trust and the Fund.

The purpose of the Trust is to allow collective investments by plan sponsors of retirement plans which qualify for exemption from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code, by reason of qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Code; tax-exempt governmental plans under Section 414(d) or Section 818(a)(6) of the Code; eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457(b) of the Code established by a government employer; group trusts or separate accounts consisting solely of assets of the foregoing; and other investors eligible for participation in the Trust. The Trust consists of separate funds with differing investment objectives, which are available for investment by participating plans. An eligible plan may join the Trust, subject to the Trustee's acceptance, and become a participating plan by executing participation documents specified by the Trustee. Not all funds within the Trust are presented herein.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to add + 150 basis points of annualized gross excess return over a broad market U.S. fixed income index over a full market cycle (three to five years). The strategy seeks diversified, sustainable sources of excess return with manageable downside risks, emphasizing relative-value based sector allocation, research-based subsector and security selection, as well as duration, yield curve, and currency management. WTNA has engaged PGIM, Inc. (the "Sub-Advisor") to provide investment advice and recommendations with respect to investment of the Fund's assets. While the Trustee generally relies on the Sub- Advisor to manage the Fund's assets, the Trustee maintains ultimate fiduciary authority over the management of and investments made in the Fund. The Sub-Advisor is engaged pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 946.

Net Asset Value ("NAV") – Units of each fee class of the Fund are valued each day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading in accordance with the valuation procedures established by the Trustee. The NAV per unit is calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time). The NAV per unit is computed by dividing the total fair value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of units outstanding at the time of such computation. Investment income earned is reinvested in the Fund and included in the determination of unit values.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

Fund Unit Transactions – The Fund sells new units and repurchases outstanding units on a daily basis. Unit purchases and redemptions are transacted at the NAV per fee class of the Fund determined as of the close of business each day. A summary of the Fund unit activity for the Fund is included with its Financial Highlights.

The Fund requires the plan sponsor to provide advance written notice of five business days for withdrawals which will exceed $1 million or 10% of the assets invested in the Fund.

Investment Valuation – Investments are valued at their current fair value determined as follows:

Money Market Fund – Investments in money market funds are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective fund.

Securities – Securities, other than bonds, listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available are valued at the closing price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded on the day of valuation or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent bid quotation on the principal exchange. If a market price is not readily available or if such price is deemed unreliable, it will be valued at fair value in accordance with valuation procedures established by the Trustee. The Trustee's determination of fair value involves consideration of a number of subjective factors, and therefore, no single standard for determining fair value will apply.

Corporate Bonds – The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), and other industry recognized techniques. Although most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or other similar observable inputs, they are categorized in level 3.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Asset-Backed Securities – The Fund may invest in mortgage- backed securities ("MBS"), representing interests in pools of mortgage loans. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid. Most of the securities are guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies, but are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury – Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). However, some securities may be issued by private, non-government corporations. MBS issued by private entities are not government securities and are not directly guaranteed by any government agency but are secured by the underlying collateral of the private issuer. Yields on privately issued MBS tend to be higher than those of government- backed issues; however, risk of loss due to default and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations is also higher.

The Fund may also invest in asset-backed securities, representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans or leases or revolving lines of credit. They often include credit enhancements that help limit investors' exposure to the underlying credit. These securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to investments with similar durations.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations - The Fund may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). A CMO is a bond that is collateralized by a pool of MBS, and a REMIC is similar in form to a CMO. These MBS pools are divided into classes or tranches with each

class having its own characteristics. The different classes are retired in sequence as the underlying mortgages are repaid. For instance, a planned amortization class ("PAC") is a specific class of mortgages, which over its life will generally have the most stable cash flows and the lowest prepayment risk. A graduated payment mortgage ("GPM") is a negative amortization mortgage where the payment amount gradually increases over the life of the mortgage. The early payment amounts are not sufficient to cover the interest due, and, therefore, the unpaid interest is added to the principal, thus increasing the borrower's mortgage balance. Prepayment may shorten the stated maturity of the CMO and can result in a loss of premium if any has been paid.

Futures – The Fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. The Fund utilizes futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund's returns. Upon entering into such a contract, the Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is held. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures are found on the Statement of Operations as a component of net realized gain on futures and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation on futures.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap Agreements – The Fund may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Swap agreements may be privately negotiated in the over the counter market ("OTC swaps") or may be cleared through a third party, known as a central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization ("Centrally Cleared Swaps"). The Fund may enter into asset, credit default, cross-currency, interest rate, total return, variance and other forms of swap agreements to manage its exposure to credit, currency, interest rate, commodity, equity and inflation risk. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash may be identified as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency.

Centrally Cleared Swaps are marked to market daily based upon valuations as determined from the underlying contract or in accordance with the requirements of the central counterparty or derivatives clearing organization. Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps ("Swap Variation Margin"), if any, are disclosed within centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. OTC swap payments received or paid at the beginning of the measurement period are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

the swap agreement to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of the realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive. The risk may be mitigated by having a master netting agreement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral to the Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risk associated with such contracts includes movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions and to manage currency risk.

The Fund may enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when the Fund enters into a forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund's custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount not less than the value of the Fund's total assets. If the assets placed in the account decline, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts. The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign forward currency contracts by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

When the valuation methods described above are not reflective of fair value, investments are valued at fair value following procedures and/or guidelines determined by or under the direction of the valuation committee established by the Trustee. In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular investment is accurate.

December 31, 2019

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Fund considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars using foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Purchases and sales of Fund securities, commitments under forward foreign currency contracts and income receipts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate as of the date of each transaction. Realized and unrealized gain or loss on the translation of foreign currency denominated investments is included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Statements of Operations. Realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions may include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign security transactions or the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions include gains and losses due to changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income – The Fund records security transactions on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the first-in, first-out method. Interest income and expenses are recorded daily on the accrual basis.

Fee Classes and Allocations – The Fund offers multiple fee classes. Not all fee classes are available for investment by all plans. Each class is allocated expenses on the basis of expense loads assigned to that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each unit class based on the units outstanding for the fee class in proportion to the total outstanding units.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Guarantees and Indemnifications – Under the Fund's organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee and agent of the Trust is indemnified, to the extent permitted by law, against certain liabilities that may arise in the performance of their duties to the Fund.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and the Trustee believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Income Tax Status – The Trust has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Trust is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

Subsequent Events – The Trustee has evaluated the effect of subsequent events on the Fund's financial statements through April 29, 2020, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there are no material subsequent events, except as noted below, that would require disclosure or adjustment in the Fund's financial statements through this date.

During the first quarter of 2020, there were worldwide outbreaks of the coronavirus. The impact of these outbreaks, as well as other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could negatively affect the domestic and international economies, individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the performance of the securities in which the Fund is invested and the investment performance of the Fund.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund's investments. The Trustee has performed an analysis of the significance and character of these inputs to the fair value determination. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. • Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, and others). • Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Trustee's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2019, in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value is included in Note 2.

The aggregate fair value of the investments in the Fund, by input level used as of December 31, 2019, is included following the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The Fund elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13, effective December 31, 2019.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In order to define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may participate in International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreement" or "ISDA'') with derivative contract counterparties or enter into similar agreements covering foreign exchange contracts ("FX Letters"). An ISDA Master Agreement Is a bilateral agreement between a fund and a counterparty that governs over the counter ("OTC") traded derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Also, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. An FX Letter is also a bilateral agreement between a fund and a counterparty and is limited to cover only foreign exchange contracts. FX Letters typically contain netting provisions covering events of default and do not require collateral to be posted. ISDAs and FX Letters containing netting provisions may be referred to as Master Netting Agreements ("MNA").

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker for OTC traded derivatives or by the clearing house for exchange traded derivatives. Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts and options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to a fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

Trustee Fee – The Trustee receives an annual fee for trustee and administrative services provided to the Fund. Trustee fees are based upon the average daily value of the Fund and are accrued daily, paid quarterly in arrears and charged against the assets invested in the Fund. Such Trustee fees for the year ended December 31, 2019, are included in the Statement of Operations for the Fund.

Sub-Advisory Fee – The Sub-Advisor is compensated for its investment advisory services provided to each Fund. These fees are based upon the average daily value of the Fund and are accrued daily, paid quarterly in arrears and charged against the assets invested in the Fund.

Service Provider Fee – Service provider fees, if any, are used to compensate other service providers to the Fund, including brokers and financial intermediaries and other parties providing services to retirement plans participating in the Fund. Service provider fees may also be paid to plan service providers, such as third-party administrators and recordkeepers that provide sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services to participating plans invested in the Fund.

Operating Expenses – In addition to the fees described above, the Fund bears expenses related to its operation, including, but not limited to, audit, custody, tax and legal services. Expenses incurred in connection with the investment and reinvestment of Fund assets, including, without limitation, transfer agency fees, brokerage commission and other expenses, are also charged against the Fund.

When assets of the Fund are invested in other investment vehicles, such as other collective funds or Exchange- Traded Funds, those investment vehicles will incur fees and expenses, which will be reflected in the operating results and value of the Fund's investment in such investment vehicle, and are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses of the Fund described above.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

The Trustee is a national bank that provides trust and custodial services for tax-advantaged retirement plans as well as trust and investment services to business pension and retirement plans. The Trustee is responsible for managing the Trust's investment and business affairs.

Note 7 – Risks Associated with Investing in the Fund

In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the fair value of the investments. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are:

• Active Management. The Fund is actively managed and subject to the risk that the sub-advisor's usage of investment techniques and risk analyses to make investment decisions fails to perform as expected, which may cause the Fund to lose value or underperform investments with similar objectives and strategies or the market in general.

33 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

PGIM Total Return Bond Fund

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

• Bank Loans. Investments in bank loans, also known as senior loans or floating-rate loans, are rated below investment grade and may be subject to a greater risk of default than are investment-grade loans, reducing the potential for income and potentially leading to impairment of the collateral provided by the borrower. Bank loans pay interest at rates that are periodically reset based on changes in interest rates and may be subject to increased prepayment and liquidity risks. Concentrating assets in stocks of one or more capitalizations (small, mid, or large) may be subject to both the specific risks of those capitalizations as well as increased volatility because stocks of specific capitalizations tend to go through cycles of beating or lagging the market as a whole.

• Cash Drag. The Fund may fail to meet its investment objective because of positions in cash and equivalents.

• Convertible Securities. Investments in convertible securities may be subject to increased interest rate risks, rising in value as interest rates decline and falling in value when interest rates rise, in addition to their market value depending on the performance of the common stock of the issuer. Convertible securities which are typically unrated or rated lower than other debt obligations, are secondary to debt obligations in order of priority during a liquidation in the event the issuer defaults.

• Country or Region. Investments in securities from a particular country or region may be subject to the risk of adverse social, political, regulatory, or economic events occurring in that country or region. Country or region-specific risks also include the risk that adverse securities markets or exchange rates may impact the value of securities from those areas.

• Distressed Investments. Investments in distressed or defaulted investments, which may include loans, loan participations, bonds, notes and issuers undergoing bankruptcy organization, are often not publicly traded and face increased price volatility and liquidity risk. These securities are subject to the risk that the sub- advisor does not correctly estimate their future value, which may result in a loss or part or all of the investment.

• Emerging Markets. Investments in emerging markets securities may be subject to greater market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, and other risks compared with assets invested in developed foreign countries (see Foreign Securities below). Emerging markets countries may have restrictive national policies that limit investment opportunities, limited information about issuers, a general lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as compared to the standards of developed countries, less liquidity and more volatility, limitations on the movement of funds, difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and the possibility of expropriation or nationalization.

• Financial Sectors. Concentrating assets in the financial sector may disproportionately subject the portfolio to the risks of that industry, including loss of value because of economic recession, availability of credit, volatile interest rates, government regulation, and other factors.

• Fixed Income Securities. The value of fixed income or debt securities may be susceptible to general movements in the bond market and are subject to interest rate and credit risk.

34 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

PGIM Total Return Bond Fund

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

• Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities may be subject to increased volatility as the value of these securities can change more rapidly and extremely than the value of U.S. securities. Factors that increase the risk of investing in foreign securities include but are not limited to the following: less public information about issuers of non-U.S. securities; less governmental regulation and supervision over the issuance and trading of securities, the unavailability of financial information regarding the non-U.S. issuer or the difficulty of interpreting financial information prepared under non-U.S. accounting standards, less liquidity, the imposition of withholding and other taxes, and adverse political, social or diplomatic developments. In addition, foreign securities are subject to increased costs because there are generally higher commission rates on transactions, transfer taxes, higher custodial costs, and the potential for foreign tax charges on dividend and interest payments. Many foreign markets are relatively small, and securities issued in less-developed countries face the risks of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, including suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country. Economic, political, social, or diplomatic developments can also negatively impact performance.

• Hedging Strategies. The use of hedging strategies to reduce risk may limit the opportunity for gains compared with unhedged investments, and there is no guarantee that hedges will actually reduce risk.

• High-Yield Securities. Investments in below investment-grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality, commonly known as "junk bonds" or "high-yield securities," may be subject to increased interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks.

• Increase in Expenses. The actual cost of investing may be higher than the expenses listed in the expense table for a variety of reasons, including termination of a voluntary fee waiver or losing fee breakpoints if average net assets decrease. The risk of expenses increasing because of a decrease in average net assets is heightened when markets are volatile.

• Index Correlation/Tracking Error. A portfolio that tracks an index is subject to the risk that certain factors may cause the Fund to track its target index less closely, including if the sub-advisor or manager selects securities that are not fully representative of the index. The Fund will generally reflect the performance of its target index even if the index does not perform well, and it may underperform the index after factoring in fees, expenses, transaction costs, and the size and timing of unitholder purchases and redemptions.

• Industry and Sector Investing. Concentrating assets in a particular industry, sector of the economy, or markets may increase volatility because the investment will be more susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory, and other factors affecting that industry or sector compared with a more broadly diversified asset allocation.

• Inflation/Deflation. A change of asset value may occur because of inflation or deflation, causing the Fund to underperform. Inflation may cause the present value of future payments to decrease, causing a decline in the future value of assets or income. Deflation causes prices to decline throughout the economy over time, impacting issuers' creditworthiness and increasing their risk for default, which may reduce the value of the Fund.

PGIM Total Return Bond Fund

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

• Inflation-Protected Securities. Unlike other fixed income securities, the values of inflation-protected securities are not significantly impacted by inflation expectations because their interest rates are adjusted for inflation. Generally, the value of inflation-protected securities will fall when real interest rates rise and rise when real interest rates fall.

• Interest Rate. Securities are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce their market value.

• Investment-Grade Securities. Investments in investment-grade debt securities that are not rated in the highest rating categories may lack the capacity to pay principal and interest compared with higher-rated securities and may be subject to increased credit risk.

• Issuer. A stake in any individual security is subject to the risk that the issuer of that security performs poorly, resulting in a decline in the security's value. Issuer-related declines may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, technological breakthroughs, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, or other factors. Additionally, certain issuers may be more sensitive to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

• Long-Term Outlook and Projections. The investment is intended to be held for a substantial period of time, and investors should tolerate fluctuations in their investment's value.

• Loss of Money. An investment's market value may fluctuate up and down, an investor may lose money, including part of the principal, when he or she buys or sells the investment.

• Market/Market Volatility. The market value of the Fund's securities may fall rapidly or unpredictably because of changing economic, political, or market conditions, which may reduce the value of the Fund.

• Maturity/Duration. Securities with longer maturities or durations typically have higher yields but may be subject to increased interest rate risk and price volatility compared with securities with shorter maturities, which have lower yields but greater price stability.

• Not FDIC Insured. The investment is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other U.S. governmental agency.

• OTC. Investments traded and privately negotiated in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market, including securities and derivatives, may be subject to greater price volatility and liquidity risk than transactions made on organized exchanges. Because the OTC market is less regulated, OTC transactions may be subject to increased credit and counterparty risk. The investment's performance may be impacted by its concentration in a certain type of security, adherence to a particular investing strategy, or a unique aspect of its structure and costs.

December 31, 2019

• Preferred Stocks. Investments in preferred stocks may be subject to the risks of deferred distribution payments, involuntary redemptions, subordination to debt instruments, a lack of liquidity compared with common stocks, limited voting rights, and sensitivity to interest rate changes.

• Pricing. Some investments may not have a market observed price; therefore, values for these assets may be determined through a subjective valuation methodology. Fair values determined by a subjective methodology may differ from the actual value realized upon sale. Valuation methodologies may also be used to calculate a daily net asset value.

• Regulation/Government Intervention. The business of the issuer of an underlying security may be adversely impacted by new regulation or government intervention, impacting the price of the security. Direct government ownership of distressed assets in times of economic instability may subject the Fund's holdings to increased price volatility and liquidity risk.

• Restricted/Illiquid Securities. Restricted and illiquid securities may fall in price because of an inability to sell the securities when desired. Investing in restricted securities may subject the Fund to higher costs and liquidity risk.

• Unrated Securities. Investments in unrated securities may be subject to increased interest, credit and liquidity risks if the sub-advisor does not accurately assess the quality of those securities.

• Variable-Rate Securities. Investments in variable-rate securities, which periodically adjust the interest rate paid on the securities, may be subject to greater liquidity risk than are other fixed income securities. Because variable-rate securities are subject to less interest rate risk than other fixed income securities, their opportunity to provide capital appreciation is comparatively reduced.
