The company is looking ahead as demand for private markets grows among retail and institutional clients. In 2025, PGIM’s Cathy Marcus sat down with InvestmentNews and said that private real estate should outperform in 2026. She cited the firm’s 55-year track record and its focus on seniors, student, and affordable housing.
In the retail space, the company is also expanding its ETF lineup to serve investors nearing or in retirement. In 2026, George Patterson told InvestmentNews that buffer ETFs help protect portfolios from large drawdowns.
