- PGIM Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF - October (PQOC) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to deliver returns matching the price return of the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (QQQ) up to a predetermined upside cap while providing a downside buffer against the first 12% (before fees and expenses) of QQQ losses over a one-year target outcome period. The ETF employs FLEX options strategies; it is subadvised by PGIM Quantitative Solutions and managed by a team including John Hall, CFA, Devang Gambhirwala, and Marco Aiolfi, PhD. Launched on December 27, 2024, and listed on Nasdaq with ticker PQOC and CUSIP 69420N528, it carries a total annual expense ratio of 0.50% and targets retail and institutional investors seeking defined outcome equity exposure. PQOC forms part of PGIM's broader Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF series, which includes four monthly ETFs, alongside the PGIM Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 ETF (PBQQ) that equally weights the quarterly series for diversified outcome period exposure. PGIM Investments, the fund sponsor and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., offers this product within its expanding ETF lineup spanning fixed income, equity, multi-asset, and buffer strategies. Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, PGIM traces its roots to 1875 through Prudential Financial and manages over $1.4 trillion in assets globally across 42 offices in 19 countries. In January 2025, PGIM Investments launched the PQOC ETF alongside the full Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 series and PBQQ as part of a strategic expansion of its buffer ETF offerings, building on prior 12% and 20% U.S. Large Cap buffer series introduced in 2024. This initiative positions PGIM's buffer suite among the lowest-cost in the market at 0.50% net expense ratio and leverages PGIM Quantitative Solutions' expertise in options trading and solutions-based investing. More recently, in September 2025, PGIM entered a strategic partnership with Partners Group to deliver multi-asset solutions combining public and private asset classes; in December 2025, it launched the PGIM AAA CLO ETF (PAAA), PGIM Short Duration Multi-Sector Bond ETF (PSDM), and three active corporate bond ETFs (PCS, PCI, PCL), further broadening its fixed income and ETF platform to over 50 equity and 13 fixed income products.
