Please remember that an investment in the Fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original investment.<br/><br/><b>Recent Market Events.</b> The equity and debt capital markets in the United States and internationally have experienced unprecedented volatility. The financial crisis has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the investment subadviser. These market conditions may continue or get worse. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support could negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities. In addition, legislation recently enacted in the United States calls for changes in many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of the legislation on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be known for some time.<br/><br/><b>Risk of Increase in Expenses. </b> Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.<br/><br/><b>Equity Securities Risk. </b> There is the risk that the price of a particular stock the Fund owns could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual stock losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector of them in which the Fund invests could go down. Different sectors of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.<br/><br/><b>Small Company Risk.</b> Small company stocks present above-average risks. This means that when stock prices decline overall, the Fund may decline more than a broad-based securities market index. These companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, stocks issued by smaller companies may be less liquid and fluctuate in value more than the stocks of larger, more established companies.<br/><br/><b>Value Style Risk. </b> Since the Fund follows a value investment style, there is the risk that the value style may be out of favor for a period of time, that the market will not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. Historically, value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery.<br/><br/><b>Market Risk. </b> Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Securities markets are volatile. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. Regardless of how well an individual investment performs, if financial markets go down, you could lose money.<br/><br/><b>Management Risk. </b> Actively managed mutual funds are subject to management risk. The subadviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these techniques will produce the desired results. Additionally, the securities selected by the subadviser may underperform the markets in general, the Fund's benchmark and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.<br/><br/><b>Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk. </b> An investment in a REIT may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. In addition, an investment in a REIT is subject to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to the tax laws or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to the effect of general declines in stock prices. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property. Also, the organizational documents of a REIT may contain provisions that make changes in control of the REIT difficult and time-consuming. As a shareholder in a REIT, the Fund could bear its ratable share of the REITs expenses and would at the same time continue to pay its own fees and expenses. The Funds investments in REITs may subject the Fund to duplicate management and/or advisory fees.<br/><br/><b>Foreign Securities Risk. </b> Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) generally involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the U.S. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system. In general, less information is publicly available about non-U.S. companies than about U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund's performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines. We do not consider American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and other similar receipts or shares traded in U.S. markets in which the Fund may invest to be foreign securities.<br/><br/>In addition, the Fund's investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.<br/><br/>For more information on the risks of investing in this Fund, please see <i>How the Fund InvestsInvestment Risks</i> in the Prospectus and <i>Investment Risks </i>and Considerations in the SAI. -0.0015 -0.0015 -0.0015 -0.004 -0.0015 -0.0015 0.0146 0.0216 0.0216 0.0191 0.0216 0.0116 0.055 0 0 0 0.01 0.05 0.01 0.06 0 0 0 0 15 15 15 15 <b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)</b> 0.022 0.022 0.015 0.022 -0.0005 0 0 0 <div style="display:none">~ http://www.prudentialfunds.com/role/ScheduleShareholderFeesPRUDENTIALSMALLCAPVALUEFUND column period compact * ~</div> <b>Example.</b> <div style="display:none">~ http://www.prudentialfunds.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesPRUDENTIALSMALLCAPVALUEFUND column period compact * ~</div> The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Although the strategy emphasizes attractive valuations, the subadviser also considers other quantifiable characteristics. Such characteristics may include measures of earnings quality, external financing, or trends in the earnings outlook. The emphasis placed on valuation and other factors may vary over time and with market conditions. Quantitative techniques also guide portfolio construction. To manage risk, we limit certain exposures such as the proportion of assets invested in an individual stock or industry. Although the strategy is primarily quantitative, the investment management team may also exercise judgment when evaluating underlying data and positions recommended by our computer models.<br/><br/>The subadviser normally invests at least 80% of the Funds investable assets in common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks of small-cap companies, which we consider to be companies with market capitalizations within the market cap range of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index or the Standard & Poors SmallCap 600 Index (measured at the time of purchase). The market capitalization within the range will vary, but as of June 30, 2012, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index was from approximately $47 million to approximately $3.8 billion. As of June 30, 2012, the market capitalization range of the Standard & Poors SmallCap 600 Index was from approximately $39 million to approximately $3.3 billion.<br/><br/>The subadviser may invest up to 20% of the Funds assets in foreign securities, including stocks and other equity-related investments and other investment-grade fixed-income securities of foreign issuers. The Funds investments in foreign securities may include issuers located in emerging markets. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and other similar receipts or shares traded in U.S. markets are not considered to be foreign securities. The Funds investments in ADRs, ADSs and other similar receipts or shares may include unsponsored receipts of shares.<br/><br/>The subadviser may also invest up to 25% of Fund assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs).<br/><br/>While we make every effort to achieve our investment objective, we cant guarantee success. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.prudentialfunds.com/role/ScheduleAverageAnnualTotalReturnsTransposedPRUDENTIALSMALLCAPVALUEFUND column period compact * ~</div> <b>Example.</b> The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 208% of the average value of its portfolio. <b>INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE</b><br /><br /><b>Principal Investment Strategies.</b> We seek investments that will increase in value. To achieve our investment objective, we purchase stocks of large companies we believe will experience earnings growth at a rate faster than that of the Russell 1000 Index. The market capitalization within the range will vary, but as of July 31, 2012, the average market capitalization of companies included in the Russell 1000 Index was approximately $14.9 billion, and the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell 1000 Index was approximately $572.5 billion.<br /><br />We normally invest at least 80% of the Funds investable assets in equity and equity-related securities of companies with market capitalizations comparable to those found in the Russell 1000 Index (measured at the time of purchase). This is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund, and it may be changed upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund may actively and frequently trade its portfolio securities.<br /><br />While we make every effort to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, we cant guarantee success. <b>Portfolio Turnover.</b> The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio. <b>INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE</b><br /><b>Principal Investment Strategies.</b> All investments have risks to some degree.

Additionally, the securities selected by the subadviser may underperform the markets in general, the Fund's benchmark and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.<br/><br/><b>Large Capitalization Company Risk.</b> Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Fund's value may not rise or fall as much as the value of funds that emphasize companies with smaller market capitalizations.<br/><br/><b>Growth Style Risk.</b> The Fund's growth style may subject the Fund to above-average fluctuations as a result of seeking higher than average capital growth. Historically, growth stocks have performed best during later stages of economic expansion and value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery. Since the Fund follows a growth investment style, there is the risk that the growth investment style may be out of favor for a period of time. At times when the style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform the market in general, its benchmark and other mutual funds.<br/><br/><b>Equity Securities Risk.</b> There is the risk that the price of a particular stock the Fund owns could go down and you could lose money.

Under certain market conditions, the Funds turnover rate may be higher than that of other mutual funds. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities. These transactions may result in realization of taxable capital gains. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Funds investment performance.<br/><br/>For more information on the risks of investing in this Fund, please see <i>How the Fund InvestsInvestment Risks</i> in the Prospectus and <i>Investment Risks and Considerations</i> in the SAI. <center><b>Annual Total Returns (Class A Shares)<sup>1</sup></b></center> -0.3188 0.3759 0.0856 -0.3646 -0.0061 -0.0954 0.4545 0.0743 -0.2669 -0.0103 <div> <div class="MetaData"> <div> </div> <div> <table style="border-left: black 1px solid; line-height: 10pt; width: 70%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; empty-cells: show; margin-bottom: 15pt; font-size: 8pt; border-top: black 1px solid;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center"> <tr><td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Best Quarter:</td> <td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Worst Quarter:</td></tr> <tr><td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="top" align="center">16.14%</td> <td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="top" align="center">2nd Quarter 2003</td> <td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="top" align="center">-22.99%</td> <td style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid;" valign="top" align="center">3rd Quarter 2002</td></tr></table></div></div> </div> -0.0637 -0.0243 -0.0722 -0.0607 -0.0608 -0.0394 0.0064 0.0064 0.0084 0.006 0.0072 <b>Average Annual Total Returns % (as of 12-31-11)</b> 2007-03-26 ° After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
