After a review of The Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, Prudential plc has deemed that Jackson National Asset Management ('JNAM') will no longer be aggregated in filings with immediate effect. JNAM has delegated to Sub-Advisers the power to vote the Funds' portfolio securities and the power to dispose of those securities. In addition, JNAM does not exercise investment discretion over the Funds, because it does not have the power to decide which securities are bought and sold.
