About
Prudential Financial, Inc. provides insurance, investment management, and other financial products and services to both retail and institutional customers. Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, the company operates through three primary business divisions: PGIM (its global investment management arm with approximately $1.3 trillion in assets under management), U.S. Businesses (including life insurance, annuities, and retirement plans), and International Businesses (focused on life insurance across Japan, emerging markets, and other regions). Prudential serves approximately 50 million customers worldwide and employs over 40,000 people across more than 40 countries. The company ranks among the largest life insurers in the United States and maintains significant market presence in Japan and several emerging markets. PGIM operates as one of the world's largest investment managers, offering active equity, fixed income, real estate, and alternative investment strategies to institutional and retail clients globally. Recent strategic initiatives include expanding its workplace solutions and retirement services, enhancing digital capabilities, and focusing on capital deployment through share repurchases and dividends. Founded in 1875, Prudential has evolved from a traditional life insurance provider into a diversified financial services institution, though it operates independently from Prudential plc, the United Kingdom-based company with which it shares only historical origins.
