The PGIM Jennison Financial Services Fund advanced but underperformed the 3.4% return of the S&P 1500 Financials index during the quarter. Relative underperformance was largely driven by security selection within capital markets (especially LPL Financial, KKR, and Marex Group), financial services (primarily Adyen and Apollo Global Management), and banks (Pinnacle Financial Partners). On the upside, our underweight to financial services, an overweight to banks, and out of index exposure to consumer discretionary (Pulte Group) added the most value.

The LPL Financial Cash Management Account (CMA) combines the convenience of modern banking features with the strategic benefits of investment flexibility.
