This Terms of Use applies to PGIM, Inc.’s (”PGIM”) social media presence on social media sites including but not limited to Twitter and LinkedIn, which are all third-party sites not affiliated with PGIM and do not necessarily represent the views of PGIM or its affiliates. Please note that PGIM is not responsible for the service provided by each platform, and you should review the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for each.
All of the information and content on PGIM’s social media sites posted by PGIM or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, all text, analyses, reports, articles, graphics, software applications, video and audio files, photos, and trademarks (“Content”), is owned or licensed by PGIM and is protected worldwide by applicable intellectual property laws. You may make and use printouts of the Content for your personal, non-commercial use only, provided that the printouts retain all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices.
The materials we post on our social media pages are intended for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, tax or financial advice and are not a substitute for obtaining legal, tax, financial or other professional advice. Nothing on these pages is intended to be nor should be considered a solicitation or offering of any investment products or services to investors residing in any jurisdiction where the offer or solicitation would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. Certain views presented are those of the author(s) as of the date published. PGIM’s use of the “like” function pertains only to the comment or post we “like” and is not an endorsement of the individual or organization who posted the content.
Any information, comments, photos and videos (and any image, likeness, voice, and statements contained therein) and other content posted or actions taken by users on our social media pages (“User Content”) are the responsibility of the person who posted them and do not reflect the views or opinions of PGIM or its affiliates. We do not endorse them or confirm their accuracy, and we are not responsible for any User Content.
Links to third-party sites are intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice or recommendation to invest. These links do not constitute endorsement or confirm their accuracy, and we are not responsible for any third-party guidelines, security, or accuracy of information.

We will remove any User Content that contains specific mention of securities or mutual funds, or those that could be construed as an investment testimonial or endorsement of PGIM’s or its affiliates’ products, services or its employees. You should limit User Content to investment themes rather than commenting, positively or negatively, on PGIM or its affiliates, their products, services or personnel.

Each such use is permitted without notice, compensation or acknowledgment to you or further approval from you.

You represent and warrant to PGIM that you have all rights to the User Content necessary to grant us these licenses and that you are not subject to any collective bargaining organization or union that would require PGIM to pay any fees for the rights granted herein.
Users on our social media pages who have a business relationship with PGIM (or its affiliates) or other beneficial interest in posting User Content are responsible for adhering to any restrictions for interacting online and any obligations to disclose that relationship or interest in their posts.
