Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Global Real Estate Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2016.

Since market conditions change over time, we believe it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Prudential Investments^® is dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risks. We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.

Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.

Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

Lipper Global Real Estate Funds Average—The Lipper Global Real Estate Funds Average (Lipper Average) is based on the average return for all funds in the Lipper Global Real Estate Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest at least 25% but less than 75% of their equity portfolios in shares of companies engaged in the real estate industry that are strictly outside of the US or whose securities are principally traded outside of the US. The cumulative total returns for the Lipper Average measured from the month-end closest to the inception date for Class Q shares through 4/30/16 are 24.86% and 47.50% for Class R shares. The average annual total returns for the Lipper Average measured from the month-end closest to the inception date for Class Q shares through 3/31/16 are 9.08% and 5.17% for Class R shares.

S&P Developed Property Net Index—The S&P Developed Property Net Index is an unmanaged, weighted index that measures the investable universe of publicly traded property companies domiciled in developed markets. The cumulative total returns for the Index measured from the month-end closest to the inception date for Class Q shares through 4/30/16 are 27.07% and 51.21% for Class R shares. The average annual total returns for the Index measured from the month-end closest to the inception date for Class Q shares through 3/31/16 are 9.70% and 5.47% for Class R shares.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. Their returns do not include the effect of sales charges and operating expenses of a mutual fund or taxes and would be lower if they did. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2015, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2016. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of Prudential Investments funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your

Prudential Global Real Estate Fund 7

Fees and Expenses (continued)

Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 182 days in the six-month period ended April 30, 2016, and divided by the 366 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2016 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Prudential Global Real Estate Fund 21

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Prudential Investment Portfolios 12 (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of four funds: Prudential Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”), Prudential US Real Estate Fund, Prudential QMA Long-Short Equity Fund and Prudential Short Duration Muni High Income Fund. These financial statements relate only to Prudential Global Real Estate Fund. The financial statements of the other portfolios are not presented herein. The Trust was established as a Delaware business trust on October 24, 1997.

The Fund’s fiscal year has changed from an annual reporting period that ends March 31 to one that ends October 31. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semi-annual reports on the new fiscal year-end schedule.

The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation and income. It seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of real estate companies.

Note 1. Accounting Policies

The Fund follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Trust and the Fund consistently follow such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation: The Fund holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly-scheduled quarterly meeting.

22

Various inputs determine how the Fund’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.

Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments such as futures and options that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Common and preferred stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which can be applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price to the extent that the valuation meets the established confidence level for each security. Such confidence level is a measure of the probability of a relationship between a given equity security and the factors used in the models. If the confidence level is not met or the vendor does not provide an evaluated price model price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stocks discussed above.

Participatory notes (P-notes) are generally valued based upon the value of a related underlying security that trades actively in the market and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.

Fixed income securities traded in the OTC market are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices after evaluating observable inputs including, but not limited to yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations, and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Prudential Global Real Estate Fund 23

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Bank loans traded in the OTC market are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors utilize broker/dealer quotations and provide prices based on the average of such quotations. Bank loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

OTC derivative instruments are generally valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on inputs such as underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, and exchange rates. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are generally valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the daily settlement price is not public.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the current rates of exchange.

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

24

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations, such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from holdings of foreign currencies, forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies.

Concentration of Risk: Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities market.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, which may differ from actual.

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class and transfer agency fees specific to Class Q shares which are charged to that share class) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

Securities Lending: The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid ultra short-term

Prudential Global Real Estate Fund 25

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral. The Fund recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Fund also continues to receive any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

REITs: The Fund invests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or a return of capital and recorded accordingly. These estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual sources of distributions is disclosed by the REITs.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to declare dividends of net investment income quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

26

Note 2. Agreements

The Fund has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisers’ performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM Real Estate, formerly known as Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”), which is a business unit of PGIM, Inc. The subadvisory agreement provides that PGIM Real Estate will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PGIM Real Estate is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of the PGIM Real Estate, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses. Prior to January 4, 2016, PGIM, Inc. was known as Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”).

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The effective management fee rate, net of waivers and/or expense reimbursement, was .75% for the six months ended April 30, 2016.

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Q and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period October 8, 2015 through October 6, 2016. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of .11% of the unused portion of the SCA. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. Prior to October 8, 2015, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of .075% of the unused portion of the SCA. The Fund’s portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

The Fund utilized the SCA during the six months ended April 30, 2016. The average daily balance for the 53 days that the Fund had loans outstanding during the period was $6,895,755, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.64%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $26,173,000. As of April 30, 2016, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan balance.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 regarding “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share”. The amendments in this update are effective for the Trust for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2015-07 will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. Management has evaluated the implications of ASU No. 2015-07 and has determined that there is no impact on the financial statement disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 regarding “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new guidance is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information and addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new standard affects all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2016-01 and its impact on the financial statements and disclosures has not yet been determined.
