Market Overview — unaudited   Annual Report   December 31, 2020

 

Equity Market Overview

A global pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus—followed by massive monetary and fiscal stimulus packages implemented by central banks and governments worldwide—whipsawed equity markets in 2020. When the chaos subsided, stocks in general closed the year higher, with several US indexes setting record highs as investors responded favorably to the stimulus and to new vaccines that they hoped would speed up the recovery.

Performance varied notably by investing style, market capitalization, geography, and sector. While some industries such as travel struggled during the pandemic, others such as online technology benefited from consumers working from home.

In the US, the broad-based Russell 3000 Index and the large-cap S&P 500 Index rose 20.89% and 18.40%, respectively, for the year. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) surpassed 30,000 points with a return of 9.92%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index returned 43.64%. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 10.65%. (All returns cited are in US dollars unless stated otherwise and assume reinvestment of dividends.)

Economies crashed, nations responded

When the year began, the outlook for the global economy and equity markets was generally upbeat. Sentiment swiftly shifted south in February and into March as concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, alarmed the markets. Many governments throughout the world rolled out restrictions such as stay-at-home orders, travel bans, and temporary business closures to help reduce transmission of COVID-19. These moves took a toll on the global economy, thrusting many countries into recession and sending stock markets sharply lower.

Lawmakers and central banks worldwide quickly implemented extraordinary stimulus to shore up liquidity. In the US, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut its federal funds rate target to a range of 0.00%-0.25%. Congress and the Fed rolled out trillions of dollars in combined stimulus. Real gross domestic product (GDP) in the US dropped at an annualized rate of 31.4% over the second quarter, and the national unemployment rate spiked to 14.7% in April. However, the economy responded favorably to the stimulus and reversed course, with GDP vaulting 33.4% over the third quarter.

Stocks retreated, rebounded, and rallied to record highs

Stock markets plunged in the first quarter as investors worried the recession would hamper growth and corporate profits, with the Dow posting its worst first-quarter performance in history. Stocks rebounded in the second quarter as national and state governments reopened their economies, and the Dow recorded its best performance for any quarter since 1987. Over the third quarter and through the end of the year, equity markets fluctuated yet continued their ascent, due in part to regulatory approval of two COVID-19 vaccines and better-than-expected economic data.

In December, the Fed committed to continue buying bonds until the US economy achieves full employment, provided that inflation stays at 2%, and the central bank also maintained its near-zero federal funds rate target. That same month, Congress approved $900 billion of additional fiscal stimulus, and the national unemployment rate dropped to 6.7%. A large number of countries outside the US also remained supportive of the markets. Many stock indexes closed the year at or near all-time highs.

S&P 500: leaders and laggards

Over the period, the top-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+43.89%) and consumer discretionary (+33.30%). Many companies in the technology arena benefited from stronger demand for online shopping and delivery services as a result of the pandemic. Other sectors that posted gains were communication services (+23.61%), materials (+20.73%), health care (+13.45%), industrials (+11.06%), consumer staples (+10.75%), and utilities (+0.48%). Sectors that posted negative returns included financials (-1.69%), real estate (-2.17%), and energy (-33.68%). Energy stocks were dragged down by plunging oil prices during the first half of the year. Prices fell due to the onset of a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and lower oil demand after travel declined during the pandemic. Prices eventually stabilized but ended lower for the year.


Market Overview — unaudited (continued)   Annual Report   December 31, 2020

 

Growth outshined value, large caps edged out small caps

Over the year, the Russell 3000 Growth Index returned 38.26%, far surpassing the Russell 3000 Value Index, which rose 2.87%. The large-cap Russell 1000 Index gained 20.96%, the Russell Midcap Index returned 17.10%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index returned 19.96%. Although large caps outperformed smaller caps, the small-cap index topped its large-cap counterpart over the third and fourth quarters, with the indexes returning 37.85% and 24.46%, respectively, during that time.

Emerging market equities posted robust overall gains

Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index, dropped sharply in the first quarter but rebounded to return 18.40% for the year. The recovery was driven by a pickup in China’s economy fueled by aggressive stimulus and a surge in exports. Top-performing markets included Korea, Taiwan, China, and India, all of which posted double-digit returns. Latin American markets, Russia, and South Africa finished lower.

International developed market stocks rose, but regional results were mixed

For the year, stocks in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, lagged those in emerging markets but advanced 7.82%. The MSCI Japan Index returned 14.48%, aided by substantial fiscal and monetary stimulus. The Japanese yen, often perceived as a “safe haven” currency, gained 5.3% against the US dollar. European equities, as measured by the MSCI Europe Index, ended in negative territory in local-currency terms yet returned 5.38% in US dollars. Concerns about the economy eased as the year ended after the European Union and the United Kingdom (UK) agreed to a post-Brexit trade deal. (Brexit refers to the UK’s exit from the European Union.) The MSCI UK Index returned -10.47%.

Fixed Income Market Overview

Government bond markets worldwide collectively rose in 2020 as central banks aggressively cut interest rates, amplified bond-buying programs, and enacted other stimulus measures to support their economies in response to a disruptive global pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus.

Higher-rated credits performed particularly well early in the year but gave back some gains later as investors gravitated toward riskier assets such as higher-yielding bonds, which plunged early in the year but rallied in the fourth quarter.

The global investment-grade bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), rose 9.20% for the year. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, returned 5.26%. In the US, the investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index rose 7.51%, and high yield bonds (i.e., debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 6.20%. (All returns cited are in US dollars unless stated otherwise.)

Massive stimulus supported global markets and economies

During the first few months of the year, many governments worldwide began to impose travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, and social distancing guidelines to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Many of these remedies crippled the travel, restaurant, energy, leisure, and various services industries.

To help buoy markets and local economies, policymakers and central banks responded with unprecedented levels of stimulus, beginning in the first quarter. In the US, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) slashed its federal funds rate target to virtually zero. Lawmakers and the Fed then rolled out trillions of dollars in combined stimulus. The central bank also implemented emergency lending facilities, expanded its asset-purchase program to include individual corporate bonds, and unveiled other bold initiatives. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) fell at an annualized rate of 31.4% in the second quarter and national unemployment spiked to 14.7% in April, the economy rebounded in the second half of the year. GDP rose 33.4% in the third quarter, and unemployment closed December at 6.7%—far below April’s peak but still above pre-pandemic levels. The dollar, as measured by the US Dollar Index, dropped 6.7%. Inflation remained subdued.


Market Overview — unaudited (continued)   Annual Report   December 31, 2020

 

Elsewhere, China’s economy weathered the COVID-19 crisis better than many other regional markets, largely due to severe lockdowns, stimulus packages, and a sharp rise in exports. The country’s exports soared almost 20% during the pandemic, surpassing exports of countries outside the region, including the US and eurozone. Latin America’s economy was a laggard, and many developed nations fell into recession as a result of the pandemic.

In December, the Fed maintained its near-zero federal funds rate target, and the central bank committed to continue buying bonds until the US economy achieves full employment, provided that inflation stays at 2%. Congress also approved $900 billion of additional fiscal stimulus. Outside the US, many nations maintained a stimulus mindset as they continued to deal with pandemic-related challenges.

A banner year for investment-grade bonds

During the first quarter, US investment-grade bond yields, which move opposite to bond prices, dropped in reaction to substantial monetary easing and a “flight to quality” from stocks and other riskier securities. At the time, investors favored higher-quality credits, particularly US Treasuries with longer maturities.

As investors’ risk appetite increased during the second half of year, yields on higher-rated debt such as Treasuries rose on worries that the implemented stimulus packages could lead to higher inflation. Higher-yielding assets fell into favor. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury dropped from approximately 1.88% at the beginning of 2020 to 0.70% at the end of the first quarter, and fell further to 0.58% during late April on strong demand. However, the yield subsequently rose to close 2020 at 0.93%, albeit notably lower than where it started the year.

Over the year, longer-dated US Treasury bonds returned 17.70%, while US Treasuries in general returned 8.00%. Treasury inflation-protected securities rose 10.99%. (Returns of US investment-grade bonds noted are based on Bloomberg Barclays bond indexes unless stated otherwise.)

Investment-grade corporate bonds delivered a stellar return of 9.89%. Central banks’ extraordinary moves to support markets, investors’ reaction to stimulus, expectations that US interest rates will remain low for some time, regulatory approval of two COVID-19 vaccines, and better-than-expected corporate earnings results fueled demand for corporates in the latter part of the year. Other notable performers included commercial mortgage-backed securities, which returned 8.11%, and municipal bonds, which rose 5.21%.

High yield bonds rebounded after a rocky start

As mentioned earlier, US high yield bonds returned 6.20% in 2020, thanks to a rebound late in the year. Earlier in 2020, high yield bond prices tumbled when concerns about the pandemic’s potential economic consequences were intensifying and crude oil prices were plunging. Prices fell due to the onset of a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and lower oil demand after travel declined during the pandemic. The lower prices hurt oil exporters, which constitute a significant chunk of the high yield issuer market.

Oil prices eventually stabilized but ended lower over the year. The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil traded above $61 when 2020 began and closed the year slightly above $48. The high yield market staged a comeback later in the year as investors applauded approval of the two COVID-19-vaccines. High yield bonds returned 6.50% over the fourth quarter.

Emerging market debt also rallied in the final quarter

Emerging market debt ended 2020 in positive territory, rising 5.26% for the year as mentioned earlier, including 5.80% in the fourth quarter. Like many high yield bond issuers, emerging market debt issuers include many exporters of crude oil.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Conservative Balanced Portfolio returned 11.43%. The Portfolio underperformed both its Blended Index and the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Following one of the quickest bear markets in US history during the first quarter of calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), US equity markets bounced back dramatically later in the period, catching many investors off balance. Initial drivers of the recovery included positive reactions to robust fiscal and monetary stimulus, as well as a better understanding of the effects of the COVID-19 virus.

The rebound continued into the fourth quarter of 2020 as investment markets reacted strongly to positive vaccine news, with a sharp rotation into cyclical, value, and small-cap stocks that helped reduce their underperformance for the period. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna received regulatory approval for COVID-19 vaccines near the end of the period, with effectiveness rates exceeding 90% in final clinical trials. Performance was also helped by expectations of further federal stimulus packages following US election results.

Within fixed income markets, US interest rates dropped sharply in the first quarter of 2020, bottoming over the summer and recovering slightly by the end of the period. COVID-19 vaccination developments helped raise inflation estimates, which reflected the vast amounts of stimulus that had been injected into the economy over the period and also hopes for economic normalization. The Federal Reserve continued to communicate a loose monetary policy, ensuring investors that the central bank would continue to support the ongoing economic recovery. Complicating matters near the end of the period, however, were a rise in hospitalizations, renewed shutdowns, and the discovery of new variants of the virus. Production and mass distribution of vaccines are now the focus before economies are able to reopen and normalize.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

Asset allocation decisions had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period, driven by a slight overweight exposure to risk assets at the beginning of the first quarter of 2020. Although the Portfolio was quick to adjust its position, the speed of the drawdown in February and March made the impact material. Otherwise, the effects from asset allocation were slightly positive during the period.

The Portfolio shifted to an overweight position in equities for the remainder of the period, participating in the steady rebound in demand for risk assets. The overweight position was funded by allocations from both bonds and cash, which remained below the Portfolio’s benchmark index weight for the remaining quarters and underperformed the index. A small off-index diversifying exposure to international equities was a drag on performance as it trailed US equities during the period. The fixed income sleeve was a positive contributor during the period, bouncing back strongly following negative performance during the first quarter.

At period-end, the Portfolio was positioned with an overweight exposure to equities, a small position in international equity markets, and underweight exposures to fixed income investments and cash.

The Portfolio used equity futures and Treasury bond futures during the period to gain specific exposures to various markets. The use of these derivative instruments allowed the Portfolios to manage cash flows as well as risk. In aggregate, the derivative positions had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period by allowing the portfolio management team to respond quickly to major market movements — such as the COVID crash — through the use of these highly liquid futures contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Diversified Bond Portfolio returned 8.45%. The Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Markets in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) were dominated by the global outbreak of COVID-19, its economic impact, and the decline and subsequent rebound in risk sentiment. The optimism generated by the US-China trade deal at the beginning of the period quickly gave way to lockdowns, spiraling unemployment, and a sharp drop in US gross domestic product. US Treasury yields dropped and spread sectors declined sharply in March before narrowing into the end of the first quarter following aggressive actions from the Federal Reserve (the Fed). With the economy decelerating rapidly and financial markets selling off sharply in the first quarter, the Fed quickly deployed — and then moved beyond — its playbook from the global financial crisis in 2008-09 by cutting its policy rate to a range of 0.00%-0.25%, reopening its swap lines, unleashing unlimited quantitative easing purchases, and injecting huge quantities of liquidity into the markets. Following a difficult first quarter, spread markets rebounded through the remainder of the period amid improving economic data and a gradual reopening of the economy. This optimism was somewhat offset by threats of a second COVID-19 wave. However, emergency regulatory approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines supported markets into the end of the period.

US Treasury rates sold off and steepened during the period, with the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread rising from 0.34% to 0.80% over the period. In early August, the US 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its low for the period as COVID-19 cases flared up across the country, with the yield dropping to 50 basis points and the curve flattening amid uncertainty over the economic reopening. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) The Treasury curve then steepened in the last part of the period after the Fed adjusted its inflation-targeting framework to allow for overshoots of its 2% inflation target.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

During the period, individual issue selection and sector allocation both contributed to outperformance. Overall sector allocation was positive, with overweights to high yield and collateralized loan obligations adding to the Portfolio’s performance. An underweight to mortgage-backed securities also added value. Overweights to emerging markets, investment-grade corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and bank loans detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Strong security selection was highlighted by positioning in Treasuries, emerging markets, investment-grade corporates, and sovereigns. This was partially offset by selection in high yield and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which detracted from returns. Within credit, the Portfolio benefited from positions in the foreign non-corporate, healthcare & pharmaceutical, technology, and telecom sectors. Positions in the gaming & lodging & leisure, midstream energy, and aerospace & defense sectors detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The Portfolio’s duration positioning added to performance for the period; however, this was somewhat offset by yield curve positioning, which detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.

During the period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. The use of interest rate swaps had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period. In addition, the Portfolio used futures to manage interest rate risk, a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The use of futures and options contributed to the Portfolio’s performance during the period. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index (CDX) to manage credit risk. The use of CDX added to performance for the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, Equity Portfolio Class I shares returned 29.00% and Class II shares returned 28.49%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed both the Russell 1000 Index and the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

US equities experienced periods of elevated volatility in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), but generally posted strong returns. After reaching an all-time high in mid-February 2020, equity markets abruptly reversed course, falling sharply later that month as the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus and efforts to contain its spread took a toll on the global economy. Stocks rebounded from late March through the end of the period after aggressive monetary policy was implemented by the Federal Reserve, meaningful and significant fiscal stimulus was passed by the US Congress, the November presidential election was resolved, and two COVID-19 vaccines received regulatory approval in December. These factors eclipsed a resurgence of COVID-19 infections that threatened the economy late in the period.

The S&P 500 Index (the Index) gained 18.40% during the period. By sector, performance was mixed as seven sectors in the Index posted positive returns while four declined. Index gains were led by the information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors, all of which rose more than 20% over the period. In contrast, the energy, real estate, and financials sectors were the worst-performing sectors. Individual stocks that were the Index’s top contributors to performance during the period included Apple, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., and Microsoft Corp. Conversely, Exxon Mobil Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., and AT&T, Inc. were among its top detractors.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio’s positions among automobile manufacturers were the dominant driver of absolute gains during the period, while holdings in the application software and internet & direct marketing retail industries contributed to a lesser degree. Meanwhile, positions in the aerospace & defense, diversified banks, and health care equipment sectors hampered the Portfolio’s absolute gains.

Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s security selection and overweight position in automobile manufactures added the most value. Security selection in both data processing & outsourced services and semiconductors also was beneficial. Conversely, an overweight position in apparel accessories & luxury goods, along with security selection in aerospace & defense and managed health care, were among the main detractors from performance.

The most notable individual stock contributors to the Portfolio’s overall performance included electric car manufacturer Tesla, Inc., multinational technology company Apple, and e-commerce retailer Amazon.com. Tesla posted impressive financial results throughout the period, made possible by solid production, increased capacity, and strong execution. With its huge installed base, Apple continued to benefit from rapid growth in service business subscriptions, a key source of recurring revenue. Amazon continued to benefit from economies of scale and its platform-based business model, and it continued to strengthen its competitive edge by reinvestment in its businesses. Its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing platform remained an additional driver of revenue and profit.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Top detractors for the period included airline manufacturer The Boeing Co., aerospace-component and defense company Safran S.A., and medical device company Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. Boeing has been affected by the longer-than-anticipated 737 Max 8 jet recertification process and the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, which restricted air travel and compromised the financial health of airlines. The Portfolio eliminated its Boeing position during the period. Safran was also hurt by the pandemic’s impact on air travel. However, as COVID-19 vaccines are distributed and administered, the travel and aircraft industries are expected to rebound. Zimmer Biomet’s second-quarter 2020 revenue fell sharply as elective surgeries were postponed due to the pandemic. However, results improved as the year progressed, and the company could benefit from the COVID-19 vaccines.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Flexible Managed Portfolio returned 9.59%. The Portfolio underperformed both its Blended Index and the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Following one of the quickest bear markets in US history during the first quarter of calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), US equity markets bounced back dramatically later in the period, catching many investors off balance. Initial drivers of the recovery included positive reactions to robust fiscal and monetary stimulus, as well as a better understanding of the effects of the COVID-19 virus.

The rebound continued into the fourth quarter of 2020 as investment markets reacted strongly to positive vaccine news, with a sharp rotation into cyclical, value, and small-cap stocks that helped reduce their underperformance for the period. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna received regulatory approval for COVID-19 vaccines near the end of the period, with effectiveness rates exceeding 90% in final clinical trials. Performance was also helped by expectations of further federal stimulus packages following US election results.

Within fixed income markets, US interest rates dropped sharply in the first quarter of 2020, bottoming over the summer and recovering slightly by the end of the period. COVID-19 vaccination developments helped raise inflation estimates, which reflected the vast amounts of stimulus that had been injected into the economy over the period and also hopes for economic normalization. The Federal Reserve continued to communicate a loose monetary policy, ensuring investors that the central bank would continue to support the ongoing economic recovery. Complicating matters near the end of the period, however, were a rise in hospitalizations, renewed shutdowns, and the discovery of new variants of the virus. Production and mass distribution of vaccines are now the focus before economies are able to reopen and normalize.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

Select Portfolio underlying investments detracted from Portfolio returns and accounted for the majority of underperformance over the period. Specifically, the core US equity manager had a difficult period as a preference for inexpensive, high-quality stocks failed to keep pace with the strong performance of growth equities during the period. The fixed income manager ended the period in positive territory.

Asset allocation decisions also had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period, driven by a slight overweight exposure to risk assets at the beginning of the first quarter of 2020. Although the Portfolio was quick to adjust its position, the speed of the drawdown in February and March made the impact material. Otherwise, the effects from asset allocation were slightly positive during the period.

The Portfolio shifted to an overweight position in equities for the remainder of the period, participating in the steady rebound in demand for risk assets. The overweight position was funded by allocations from both bonds and cash, which remained below the Portfolio’s benchmark index weight for the remaining quarters and underperformed the index. A small off-index diversifying exposure to international equities was a drag on performance as it trailed US equities during the period.

At period-end, the Portfolio was positioned with an overweight exposure to equities, a small position in international equity markets, and underweight exposures to fixed income investments and cash.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Portfolio used equity futures and Treasury bond futures during the period to gain specific exposures to various markets. The use of these derivative instruments allowed the Portfolios to manage cash flows as well as risk. In aggregate, the derivative positions had a positive impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period by allowing the portfolio management team to respond quickly to major market movements — such as the COVID crash — through the use of these highly liquid futures contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Global Portfolio returned 15.84%. The Portfolio underperformed the MSCI World Index (GD).

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

It was a wild ride for markets in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), as the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdown/recession drove equity markets to the fastest plunge ever into a bear market. From its peak in early February to its low in March, the S&P 500 Index fell 34% in a month, with similar stock market declines in Europe, Japan, and emerging markets. US stocks saw a steeper decline of 57% during the 2008-09 global financial crisis; however, that drop occurred over a 17-month period. An unprecedented and timely policy response from the Federal Reserve helped equity markets rebound at the end of March and in April. Stocks also benefited from evidence that the initial lockdowns and quarantines succeeded in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in late spring, which enabled states to relax restrictions and reopen their economies over the summer.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The subadvisors’ performance during the period was mixed. The Portfolio’s international growth subadvisor significantly outperformed its style-specific benchmark and drove the Portfolio’s overall outperformance. The remaining subadvisors each underperformed their style-specific benchmarks during the period.

During the first quarter of 2020, the overall stock market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The market’s subsequent recovery was driven mainly by technology stocks, which benefited from lockdowns and work-from-home policies by helping certain businesses that could continue to operate under such adverse conditions.

In this environment, the underlying international growth investments were uniquely positioned to outperform its benchmark index. Significant overweight exposure to the information technology sector relative to both the benchmark index, the MSCI EAFE Index, and the overall Portfolio’s benchmark index, the MSCI World Index.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Government Income Portfolio returned 7.16%. The Portfolio underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Government Bond Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Markets in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) were dominated by the global outbreak of COVID-19, its economic impact, and the decline and subsequent rebound in risk sentiment. The optimism generated by the US-China trade deal at the beginning of the period quickly gave way to lockdowns, spiraling unemployment, and a sharp drop in US gross domestic product. US Treasury yields dropped and spread sectors declined sharply in March before narrowing into the end of the first quarter following aggressive actions from the Federal Reserve (the Fed). With the economy decelerating rapidly and financial markets selling off sharply in the first quarter, the Fed quickly deployed — and then moved beyond — its playbook from the global financial crisis in 2008-09 by cutting its policy rate to a range of 0.00%-0.25%, reopening its swap lines, unleashing unlimited quantitative easing (QE) purchases, and injecting huge quantities of liquidity into the markets. Following a difficult first quarter, spread markets rebounded through the remainder of the period amid improving economic data and a gradual reopening of the economy. This optimism was somewhat offset by threats of a second COVID-19 wave. However, emergency regulatory approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines supported markets into the end of the period.

US Treasury rates sold off and steepened during the period, with the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread rising from 0.34% to 0.80% over the period. In early August, the US 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its low for the period as COVID-19 cases flared up across the country, with the yield dropping to 50 basis points and the curve flattening amid uncertainty over the economic reopening. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) The Treasury curve then steepened in the last part of the period after the Fed adjusted its inflation-targeting framework to allow for overshoots of its 2% inflation target. With central banks re-examining how to achieve the inflation targets that they’ve been missing and with plenty of slack in the global economy, PGIM Fixed Income expects the QE flood to continue, given its key role in underpinning the markets and the recovery. Thus, the fed funds rate can be expected to stay at its current level for some time.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

During the period, both sector allocation and security selection contributed to the Portfolio’s outperformance. An allocation to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), coupled with an underweight to mortgage-backed securities (MBS), contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. Strong security selection was highlighted by positioning in Treasuries, MBS, CLOs, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The combined impact of the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve strategies detracted from performance for the period. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.

During the period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. The use of interest rate swaps had a positive impact on performance during the period. The Portfolio used futures to manage the Fund’s interest rate risk, which is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchases and sales of cash bonds. The use of futures helped the Portfolio’s performance during the period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Markets in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) were dominated by the global outbreak of COVID-19, its economic impact, and the decline and subsequent rebound in risk sentiment. The optimism generated by the US-China trade deal at the beginning of the period quickly gave way to lockdowns, spiraling unemployment, and a sharp drop in US gross domestic product. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) quickly deployed — and then moved beyond — its playbook from the global financial crisis in 2008-09 by cutting its policy rate to a range of 0.00%-0.25%, reopening its swap lines, unleashing unlimited quantitative easing (QE) purchases, and injecting huge quantities of liquidity into the markets. Following a difficult first quarter, spread markets rebounded through the remainder of the period as the Fed’s unprecedented monetary responses significantly improved market liquidity. US Treasury rates sold off and steepened during the period, with the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread rising from 0.34% to 0.80% over the period. Meanwhile, the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill declined from 1.55% to 0.08% while the 3-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) declined from 1.91% to 0.24%. In the short-term credit markets, investment-grade credit spreads tightened throughout the period. The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Credit Index, a proxy for the short-term spread market, outperformed similar short-duration Treasuries by 0.57% during the period. (Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.)

With central banks re-examining how to achieve the inflation targets that they’ve been missing and with plenty of slack in the global economy, PGIM Fixed Income expects the QE flood to continue, given its key role in underpinning the markets and the recovery. In a recently announced change to its framework for conducting monetary policy, the Fed confirmed that it will be targeting an inflation rate of 2% on average over time, while permitting periods of overshooting 2% to make up for previous undershoots. Thus, the fed funds rate can be expected to stay at its current level for some time.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

For the first quarter of the period, the Portfolio’s weighted average maturity (WAM) remained longer than peers, shortening slightly following the Fed’s action. The Portfolio’s WAM remained longer than peers for the second quarter, then shortened versus peers during the third quarter, and remained shorter than peers throughout the remainder of the period. The Portfolio’s weighted average life remained extended through floating rate securities throughout the period.

Throughout the period, the Portfolio took advantage of changing floating rate spreads and shifted positioning across LIBOR floaters and secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) floaters accordingly. Floaters are bonds or other types of debt whose coupon rate changes with short-term interest rates.

Additionally, to take advantage of changing relative value between the sectors, the Portfolio shifted its positioning in agency discount notes, repurchase agreements, and US Treasuries throughout the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the High Yield Bond Portfolio returned 7.11%. The Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays US High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index.

What were market conditions during the reporting period?

The high yield market in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) was dominated by the global outbreak of COVID-19, its economic impact, and the decline and subsequent rebound in risk sentiment. The optimism generated by the US-China trade deal at the beginning of the period quickly gave way to lockdowns, spiraling unemployment, and a sharp drop in US gross domestic product. US high yield bond spreads rose to a high of approximately 1,100 basis points (bps) in mid-March before narrowing into the end of the first quarter following aggressive actions from the Federal Reserve (the Fed). (One basis point equals 0.01%.) With the economy decelerating rapidly and financial markets selling off sharply in the first quarter, the Fed quickly deployed — and then moved beyond — its playbook from the global financial crisis in 2008-09 by cutting its policy rate to a range of 0.00%-0.25%, reopening its swap lines, unleashing unlimited quantitative easing purchases, and injecting huge quantities of liquidity into the markets. Following a difficult first quarter, spread markets rebounded through the remainder of the period amid improving economic data and a gradual reopening of the economy. This optimism was somewhat offset by threats of a second COVID-19 wave. However, emergency regulatory approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines supported the high yield market into the end of the period, with high yield spreads ending the year at 386 bps, only 26 bps wider than at the start of the period. For the period, the Bloomberg Barclays 1% Issuer Constrained Index returned 6.59%. By quality, BB-rated credits fared the best, posting a total return of 9.52%, while B-rated and CCC-rated credits returned 4.16% and 2.20%, respectively. The Moody’s 12-month US speculative grade default rate ended November at 6.7%, the highest level registered since the 2008-09 financial crisis.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

During the period, relative outperformance was driven largely by beta management, principally during the first half of the period. (Beta is a measure of the volatility or risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market or index.) Overall sector allocation detracted from the Portfolio’s performance, with underweights to the upstream energy and consumer non-cyclical industries, as well as an overweight to the media & entertainment industries, the largest detractors. This was partially offset by an underweight to the transportation & environmental services industry, as well as overweights to the electric utilities and chemicals industries. Security selection was also negative for the period, principally within the midstream energy and media & entertainment sectors. A few of the overall largest single-name detractors included overweights to AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (gaming & lodging & leisure) and Ferrellgas Partners LP (midstream energy), as well as an underweight to Occidental Petroleum Corp. (upstream energy). This was partially offset by issue selection within telecom, consumer non-cyclicals, metals & mining, and upstream energy sectors, which helped returns. Overweights to telecom names Digicel Group, Sprint Corp., and CenturyLink, Inc. were the largest single-name contributors to the Portfolio’s performance.

During the period, the Portfolio used US Treasury futures to manage the Fund’s interest rate risk, a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The impact of futures contributed to the Portfolio’s performance during the period. The Fund used credit derivatives in the form of credit default swaps to manage the overall risk profile of the Fund, which positively impacted the Portfolio’s performance.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio’s Class I shares returned 30.92% and Class II shares returned 30.41%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed both the Russell 1000 Index and the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

US equities experienced periods of elevated volatility in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), but generally posted strong returns. After reaching an all-time high in mid-February 2020, equity markets abruptly reversed course, falling sharply later that month as the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus and efforts to contain its spread took a toll on the global economy. Stocks rebounded from late March through the end of the period after aggressive monetary policy was implemented by the Federal Reserve, meaningful and significant fiscal stimulus was passed by the US Congress, the November presidential election was resolved, and two COVID-19 vaccines received regulatory approval in December. These factors eclipsed a resurgence of COVID-19 infections that threatened the economy late in the period.

The S&P 500 Index (the Index) gained 18.40% during the period. By sector, performance was mixed as seven sectors in the Index posted positive returns while four declined. Index gains were led by the information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors, all of which rose more than 20% over the period. In contrast, the energy, real estate, and financials sectors were the worst-performing sectors. Individual stocks that were the Index’s top contributors to performance during the period included Apple, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., and Microsoft Corp. Conversely, Exxon Mobil Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., and AT&T, Inc. were among its top detractors.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio’s positions among automobile manufacturers were the dominant driver of absolute gains during the period, while holdings in the data processing & outsourced services and semiconductors industries contributed to a lesser degree. Meanwhile, positions in the trucking, aerospace & defense, and health care equipment sectors hampered the Portfolio’s absolute gains.

Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s security selection in data processing & outsourced services added the most value. Overweight positions in internet & direct marketing retail and application software also were beneficial. Conversely, an overweight position in apparel accessories & luxury goods, security selection in health care equipment, and an underweight position in technology hardware storage & peripherals were among the main detractors from relative performance.

The most notable individual stock contributors to the Portfolio’s overall performance included electric car manufacturer Tesla, Inc., technology company NVIDIA Corp., and online retailer Amazon.com. Tesla posted impressive financial results throughout the period, made possible by solid production, increased capacity, and strong execution. NVIDIA announced a new generation of products called data processing units, which offload critical networking, storage, and security tasks from central processing units (CPUs). This rollout signaled the company’s pursuit of the highly profitable data center CPU business. Amazon continued to benefit from economies of scale and its platform-based business model, and it continued to strengthen its competitive edge by reinvestment in its businesses. Its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing platform remained an additional driver of revenue and profit.

Top detractors for the period included ride-sharing company Uber Technologies, Inc., medical device company Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., and health insurance company Humana, Inc. Uber was hit hard by the pandemic and stay-at-home mandates, which led to sharply falling revenues. Zimmer Biomet’s second-quarter 2020 revenues fell sharply as elective surgeries were postponed due to the pandemic. However, results improved as the year progressed and the company could benefit from the COVID-19 vaccines. Investor sentiment for Humana was negatively impacted by rising hospitalization costs due to COVID-19. Uber, Zimmer Biomet, and Humana were no longer held at the end of the reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Jennison Portfolio Class I shares returned 56.20% and Class II shares returned 55.57%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed both the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Equity markets were extremely volatile in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), unsettled by US-China trade discord and the COVID-19 pandemic. Stocks peaked at new highs in early 2020, then dropped dramatically in late February as the pandemic spread around the globe. The realities of the pandemic dictated daily conduct for individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide, as shelter-in-place and work-from-home initiatives became common. Stocks rebounded rapidly later in the period, but the pandemic-related economic damage continued to accumulate. The effects of fiscal stimulus blunted the pandemic’s impact on employment and spending, while comprehensive monetary policy initiatives to bolster liquidity and stabilize asset prices contributed to record-low interest rates.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

Consumer discretionary positions were strong positive contributors to Portfolio performance during the reporting period. Shares of Tesla, Inc. continued to surge on impressive financial results made possible by solid production, increased capacity, and strong execution. The company’s technology, scale, and low-cost advantage have made it the breakaway leader in the electric vehicle market, and Jennison believes these characteristics also position Tesla to disrupt the overall automotive industry. Consumer businesses that have migrated to digital direct-to-consumer business models were notably strong performers, including Amazon.com, Inc. Amazon has operated in this mode for years, and its relevance and dominance became even more apparent during the period as the firm continued to benefit from economies of scale and its platform-based business model. The Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud-computing platform remained a significant additional driver of revenue and profit.

In information technology, digital payments processors were strong performers. Netherlands-based Adyen NV has developed a dynamic, reliable, and secure payment platform that supports omnichannel commerce with end-to-end gateway, risk management, and processing services. PayPal Holdings, Inc., the largest e-commerce payments enabler in the US and many developing countries, is deepening and extending its services to global consumers and business clients. The growing importance of digital commerce in times of restricted personal mobility is also benefiting Shopify, Inc., the Canadian provider of user-friendly, cloud-based infrastructure tools to enable omnichannel e-commerce capability.

With millions of people around the world working from home, the advantage of housing mission-critical software applications and services on the cloud became clear. In addition to a strong and stable enterprise business, Microsoft Corp. has a differentiated hybrid cloud strategy that is leading to an increase in its share of technology capital spending. Its Azure cloud business hosts Microsoft software as well as hundreds of cloud-native applications created by Microsoft customers or third parties. Adobe, Inc. offers content creation and digital marketing applications and services that are transforming businesses operations.

Chipmaker NVIDIA Corp. benefited from increased demand for cloud storage, which led to robust data center spending by its largest customers. In Jennison’s view, NVIDIA’s April 2020 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies Ltd. could enhance NVIDIA’s functionality and potentially lead to further market share gains in the data center space.

With its huge installed base, Apple, Inc. is benefiting from rapid growth in service business subscriptions, a key source of recurring revenue. Jennison believes the company’s current product cycle should provide robust revenue and profit growth.

In communication services, Netflix, Inc. continued to enhance its long-term competitive position with the industry’s largest commitment of investment dollars in exclusive and original content. Given its still-low global penetration and the accelerating shift from linear TV, Jennison believes Netflix still has significant room for growth.

The Portfolio’s industrials holdings advanced but lagged the sector’s gain within the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The longer-than-anticipated 737 Max 8 jet recertification process weighed on The Boeing Co. early in the period. With the pandemic restricting air travel and compromising the financial health of airlines, the Portfolio’s position in the company was eliminated during the period. Jennison also closed the Portfolio’s position in Safran SA based on the company’s exposure to the airline industry, as most of Safran’s revenue is generated by aircraft engine production.

The position in Adidas AG was eliminated based on the company’s softer-than-expected gross margin, COVID-19-related sporting event cancellations, and an anticipated backup in wholesale inventories.

Lastly, Jennison eliminated the Portfolio’s position in FleetCor Technologies, Inc., which provides specific-purpose charge cards and payment-processing services for commercial and government trucking fleets, based on the overhang from regulatory litigation related to the company’s marketing and fee practices, as well as its exposure to oil prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Natural Resources Portfolio Class I shares returned 12.28% and Class II shares returned 11.82%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed the Blended Index and underperformed the MSCI World Index (GD).

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The COVID-19 pandemic made calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) the most volatile year for investment markets since the global financial crisis in 2008. Global pandemic fears led to an extremely sharp sell-off in risk assets in February and March 2020. While the whole market experienced severe downside pressures, stocks in the cyclical and value segments of the market were hit especially hard, given their sensitivity to slower global economic growth during the reporting period. In addition, an ill-fated attempt at a price war by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) led to a collapse in the price of crude oil and energy stocks.

The market began to recover in April, and gains continued through the end of the period (the recovery period), driven by massive economic stimulus around the world as well as renewed optimism for a potential resumption of growth following the pandemic. The value and cyclical segments of the Portfolio recovered along with the market, with many subsectors outperforming the Portfolio’s benchmark index, the MSCI World Energy/Materials (60%/40%) Index (the Index), during the recovery period. Despite the strong rebound from the lows, energy stocks finished sharply lower for the reporting period, while mining stocks finished sharply higher and chemical stocks were mixed.

Early in the reporting period, the Portfolio began building a large overweight allocation of stocks expected to benefit from the ongoing transition of traditional fossil energy sources to renewable energy initiatives (e.g., solar, wind, hydrogen, electronic vehicles, and batteries). Renewable energy stocks delivered exceptionally robust performance versus the Index during the reporting period given superior growth characteristics, escalating policy support, and strong operational results.

During the reporting period, commodity prices were extremely volatile, with oil stocks trading in negative territory for a short time before recovering strongly by the end of the reporting period. Copper prices rallied throughout the period, based in part on a strong economic recovery in China as well as incremental optimism over long-term demand for copper used to produce electronic vehicles and solar, wind, and electrical infrastructure.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

Management of risk combined with the Portfolio’s flexible and adaptive investment style was a strong contributor to performance during the reporting period. During the sharp sell-off in February and March of 2020, the subadvisors reduced the Portfolio’s risk and increased cash levels to mitigate downside risk. As a result, the Portfolio outperformed the Index during a period of extreme volatility. Beginning in April, the Portfolio was fully invested again, adding more risk and expanding its stock holdings in renewable energy. These actions led to substantial outperformance during the recovery period as well. All areas of focus for the Portfolio — energy, materials, industrials, and agriculture — delivered outperformance versus the Index during the reporting period.

The biggest contributors to outperformance during the reporting period were positions in renewable energy, with holdings in solar, wind, hydrogen, batteries, and electronic vehicles driving considerable absolute and relative performance. The subadvisors were early in identifying the powerful

energy theme and repositioned the Portfolio to benefit from growing consumer demand. Top contributors included Enphase Energy Inc., Plug Power Inc., Sunrun Inc., SolarEdge Technologies Inc., Tesla Inc., Vestas Wind Systems A/S ADR, Sunnova Energy International Inc., LG Chem Ltd., and Samsung SDI Co.

In the materials sector, the Portfolio’s positions in copper and diversified miners delivered the strongest relative performance during the reporting period, led by First Quantum Minerals Ltd., Freeport-McMoRan Inc., Rio Tinto Ltd., and BHP Group Ltd.

Overall, the positive contribution from the Portfolio’s underweight exposure to the hard-hit energy sector more than made up for a negative contribution from stock selection.

Entering 2021, the subadvisors are optimistic about continued absolute and relative performance for the Portfolio, which remains broadly diversified across multiple attractive investment themes. The subadvisors believe the Portfolio has an excellent combination of secular growth and cyclical leverage. The Portfolio has a large overweight position within the “energy transition” investment theme. The subadvisors see escalating policy support in the US and around the world; rapidly declining costs; demand from governments, businesses, and consumers for renewable energy; powerful growth for electronic vehicles, and increasing credit given to companies with strong ESG — environmental, social, and governance — profiles.

In the oil and gas sectors, the subadvisors expect a market recovery from the severe underperformance of the preceding years, driven by newfound capital discipline, strong free cash flows, and attractive valuations relative to the market. If inflation and interest rates begin to move higher, the subadvisors expect this may provide a powerful catalyst for growth in certain cyclical portions of the Portfolio.

At times, the Portfolio uses a buy-write strategy, with call options written against long equity positions. At any given time, call options may be written against some of the long exposures, depending on premium income, market volatility, and outlook on underlying positions. The Portfolio did not use derivatives during the reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio returned 10.99%. The Portfolio underperformed the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The COVID-19 pandemic was the major headline during calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period). The pandemic had a significant negative impact on global economies during the first quarter of 2020. Fiscal and monetary stimulus policies led to a steep recovery in US stock prices in the second quarter, along with strong employment numbers as the US economy began to reopen. US equities ended the period in record-high territory, fueled by two vaccines that gained emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration in the fourth quarter and also by additional monetary stimulus and a projected resolution of the US presidential election.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio slightly underperformed its benchmark index, the S&P Small Cap 600 Index (the Index), during the period. Potential tracking error differences (i.e., the difference between the return of the Portfolio and the return of the Index) — as well as brokerage and other costs and expenses — may cause the Portfolio’s return to be lower than that of the Index.

In terms of positions, biopharmaceutical firm Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and fashion holding company Capri Holdings Ltd. were the largest contributors to the Portfolio’s performance during the period, while mortgage finance firms Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. and New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. were the largest detractors. Momenta shares were eliminated from the Portfolio after the company was acquired and were no longer held at the end of the reporting period.

Most of the Portfolio’s buy or sell trades were performed “market-on-close” (i.e., as close as possible to the end of the trading day in order to more closely track the Index). The Portfolio also seeks to add income through securities lending. This income tends to be greater for small-cap stocks, which are often more difficult to borrow because they are not typically as widely traded as their mid-cap and large-cap counterparts.

The Portfolio had modest exposure to derivative instruments in the form of futures to help enhance liquidity, but the position did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the SP International Growth Portfolio Class I shares returned 32.11% and Class II shares returned 31.58%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (GD).

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

For calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), the MSCI EAFE Index rose 8.28% despite the global COVID-19 crisis. While absolute returns for the index were positive, markets in Western European countries generally trailed US markets. For example, the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based index of large US stocks, rose 18.40% over the period. At the end of the period, many investors were optimistic about regulatory approval of two COVID-19 vaccines and the beginning of worldwide distribution. International stocks were bolstered by a weaker US dollar attributable to fiscal and monetary support from Congress and the Federal Reserve. As the period progressed, investors started to embrace risk, favoring stocks with growth and momentum characteristics. From a sector perspective, information technology and materials advanced while energy and real estate lagged.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

All three of the Portfolio’s subadvisors had positive exposures to growth and price momentum, which were key factors driving positive relative returns during the period. Jennison favors a more aggressive portfolio and William Blair incorporates growth and momentum. Meanwhile, Neuberger Berman’s exposures to the aforementioned factors were a residual of its bottom-up stock selection process. In addition, each subadvisor’s underexposure to dividend-paying stocks with higher leverage further enhanced results. Investors eschewed these characteristics, doubting whether these companies could continue their dividend payments and sustain higher debt ratios during the pandemic.

Stock selection was also additive to relative performance, as all three of the Portfolio’s subadvisors invested in technology and avoided energy stocks during the period. Energy stocks performed poorly during the period as demand for oil dropped while consumers stayed at home amid the pandemic. The subadvisors instead invested in internet retail, software, and services, which performed well during the period. Given their growth mandate, the Portfolio’s subadvisors favored companies in these faster-growing industries and were subsequently rewarded.

Finally, the Portfolio benefited as all three subadvisors were overweight Chinese stocks, which outperformed during the period. China is home to the some of the world’s fastest-growing technology and internet firms. Although COVID-19 is believed to have originated in China, stocks there were also boosted by the country’s seemingly faster economic recovery during the pandemic versus other parts of the world.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio Class I shares returned 47.47% and Class II shares returned 46.90%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed both the Russell Midcap Growth Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

Despite a volatile calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period) marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, US equity markets ended the period higher as the broad-based S&P 500 Index returned 18.40%. Within the mid-cap market, it was a positive year for growth stocks, with the Russell Midcap Growth Index returning 35.59% for the period versus the 4.96% return for the Russell Midcap Value Index.

The market environment strongly favored growth stocks during the period, which offered a positive backdrop for the Portfolio’s strategy. The Portfolio skewed toward companies benefiting from structural change, which helped performance as many secular trends that were in place before the pandemic — including digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and electric/autonomous vehicles — were turbocharged throughout the period.

Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, every sector posted a positive return. The telecommunications (+74.1%) and technology (+58.4%) sectors had the highest returns. The utilities (+9.4%) and basic materials (+15.6%) sectors lagged.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the period, helped by stock selection and stylistic tailwinds that saw growth stocks outperforming value. Stock selection across a variety of sectors drove outperformance, with the consumer discretionary and technology sectors leading the way. Stock selection in health care was the top detractor from the Portfolio’s performance, followed by real estate.

From an individual stock perspective, overweight positions in Tesla, Inc. and Enphase Energy, Inc. were the top contributors to the Portfolio’s performance. Tesla outperformed during the period as investors embraced the electric car company’s ability to sustain demand at higher production levels and profitable price points. The Portfolio eliminated its Tesla position in the third quarter due to market-capitalization constraints. Solar technology firm Enphase also outperformed after consistently posting strong quarterly results highlighted by solid customer demand. A more favorable political backdrop and the stock’s announced inclusion in the S&P 500 Index in the fourth quarter also drove shares higher.

Not owning digital documents provider DocuSign, Inc. and cloud communications provider Twilio, Inc. were the Portfolio’s biggest detractors from returns during the period. Both outperformed in the first half of the period, as COVID-19-related disruptions drove demand for both companies’ enterprise software solutions. The stocks were added to the Portfolio in the third quarter on indications both companies had products that could continue to fuel higher growth.

Throughout the period, the Portfolio’s risk profile was moderated by reducing positions that had experienced meaningful and/or sustained periods of outperformance, while adding to companies with more reasonable growth expectations. At the end of the period, the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors represented the Portfolio’s largest overweight exposures while the technology and heath care sectors were the largest underweights.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the SP Small Cap Value Portfolio returned 1.90%. The Portfolio underperformed both the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Russell 2500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The Russell 2000 Value Index (the Index), a proxy for small market-capitalization value stocks, returned 4.63% in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), which was highlighted by extreme market conditions. In the first quarter of 2020, the Index sold off sharply with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, falling 35.66%. The magnitude and speed of the sell-off was unusual, and both high- and low-quality stocks declined indiscriminately. The second and fourth quarters saw exuberant returns of 18.91% and 33.36%, respectively, buoyed by significant monetary and fiscal policy, the conclusion of the presidential election in November, vaccine optimism, and hopes for a return to normalcy. A cyclically driven recovery in the second half of the period led to small-cap stocks outperforming large-cap stocks. The best-performing sectors in the small-value space during the second half of the period were consumer staples and healthcare, while the energy and financials sectors lagged.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio underperformed the Index during the reporting period. Stock selection in financials contributed to returns, while investments in materials detracted from returns.

Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., which represented 0.3% of the Portfolio’s weight at the end of the period, was a top contributor to returns. The property and casualty insurer benefited from improved operational efficiency in 2019 and early 2020, yielding strong earnings and premium growth despite 90% of its employees working remotely. Earnings reports that exceeded analysts’ estimates and a secondary share offering drove the stock higher in the second half of the period. Goldman Sachs believes Kinsale Capital’s low-cost, technology-enhanced underwriting model, combined with an improving pricing environment for its excess and surplus lines, will continue to support profitable growth over the long term. Saia, Inc. (0.6% Portfolio weight at the end of the period) is a less-than-truckload — LTL — (i.e., small shipments) logistics company that also contributed to returns for the period. The stock struggled in the beginning, reporting softer-than-expected earnings and operating metrics for LTL shipments in the early months of the period. However, better-than-expected quarterly earnings releases and improving shipping-efficiency data for the remainder of the period contributed to the stock’s strong performance. Goldman Sachs believes Saia is well positioned to benefit from the continued shift toward e-commerce and the digitization of consumption.

Redwood Trust, Inc. and MFA Financial, Inc. are mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs) that detracted from the Portfolio’s returns during the period. The Portfolio did not hold positions in Redwood Trust or MFA Financial at period-end. Before the pandemic began, the Portfolio held overweight positions in residential mortgage credit within the mortgage REIT universe, given the health of consumers and home prices. Over a few trading days in late March 2020, investors sold shares of companies holding non-government-backed securities. The Portfolio eliminated these mortgage REIT positions, wary of their ability to meet high volumes of margin calls.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Stock Index Portfolio returned 18.08%. The Portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

The COVID-19 pandemic was the major headline during calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period). The pandemic had a significant negative impact on global economies during the first quarter of 2020. Fiscal and monetary stimulus policies led to a steep recovery in US stock prices in the second quarter, along with strong employment numbers as the US economy began to reopen. US equities ended the period in record-high territory, fueled by two vaccines that gained emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration in the fourth quarter and also by additional monetary stimulus and a resolution of the US presidential election.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

Potential tracking error differences (i.e., the difference between the return of the Portfolio and the return of its benchmark index) — as well as brokerage and other costs and expenses — caused the Portfolio’s return to be slightly lower than the return of its benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index (the Index), during the period.

Information technology — the largest sector within the Portfolio and the Index — was the top sector contributor to the Portfolio’s performance during the period.

Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. were the largest individual stock contributors to the Portfolio’s performance during the period, while Exxon Mobil Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. were the largest detractors from the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio had some exposure to derivative instruments to help enhance liquidity, but that position did not have a material impact on performance during the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Value Portfolio Class I shares returned 3.58% and Class II shares returned 3.15%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index and underperformed the S&P 500 Index.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

US equities experienced periods of elevated volatility in calendar-year 2020 (the reporting period), but generally posted strong returns. After reaching an all-time high in mid-February 2020, equity markets abruptly reversed course, falling sharply later that month as the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus and efforts to contain its spread took a toll on the global economy. Stocks rebounded from late March through the end of the period after aggressive monetary policy was implemented by the Federal Reserve, meaningful and significant fiscal stimulus was passed by the US Congress, the November presidential election was resolved, and two COVID-19 vaccines received regulatory approval in December. These factors eclipsed a resurgence of COVID-19 infections that threatened the economy late in the period.

The Russell 1000 Value Index (the Index) returned 2.80% during the period. By sector, performance was mixed as seven sectors in the Index posted positive returns while four declined. The materials, health care, and industrials sectors posted the strongest absolute results, while energy and real estate posted the weakest returns.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?

The Portfolio’s positions among semiconductors were the dominant driver of absolute gains over the period, while holdings in the technology hardware storage & peripherals sector contributed to a lesser degree. Meanwhile, positions in the diversified banks and integrated oil & gas sectors hampered absolute gains.

Relative to the Index, the Portfolio’s overweight allocation to internet media & services added the most value. Stock selection among software names was also beneficial, as was an overweight position to systems software. Conversely, stock selection among health care equipment names detracted the most from relative performance. Stock choices in the oil & gas exploration & production sector and an overweight allocation to diversified banks also detracted.

The most notable individual stock contributors to the Portfolio’s performance included multinational technology company Apple, Inc., semiconductors and wireless telecommunications company Qualcomm, Inc., and semiconductor and infrastructure software products firm Broadcom, Inc. With its huge installed base, Apple benefited from rapid growth in service business subscriptions, a key source of recurring revenue. Shares of both Qualcomm and Broadcom rallied sharply during the period as they benefited from the global build-out of fifth-generation (5G) infrastructure, coupled with the introduction of new 5G handset models. Qualcomm shares also advanced after a surprise announcement in July 2020 of a royalty settlement with Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.

Top detractors for the period included Canadian integrated energy company Suncor Energy, Inc. and diversified banks JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup, Inc. Suncor Energy’s stock declined as investors reacted negatively to its weakening fundamentals, as the company’s balance sheet added a significant amount of debt. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup were dragged down along with the overall financials sector. Financials was one of the

Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  December 31, 2020

 

As a contract owner investing in Portfolios of the Fund through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. 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 investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fees and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

OTC Credit Default Swap Agreement on corporate and/or sovereign issues—Sell Protection(2):

 

    

Boeing Co.

     12/20/21        1.000%(Q)        2,800        0.723   $ 8,506      $ 14,728      $ (6,222  

Bank of America, N.A.

             

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

   

The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling

  protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

OTC Credit Default Swap Agreement on credit indices—Sell Protection(2):

CMBX.NA.6.AA

     05/11/63        1.500%(M)        650      *    $ (161   $ (2,273   $ 2,112     Deutsche Bank AG
              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
                    

The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

*

When an implied credit spread is not available, reference the fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices and asset-backed securities. Where the Portfolio is the seller of protection, it serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold

  as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

OTC Credit Default Swap Agreement on corporate and/or sovereign issues—Sell Protection(2):

 

 

Boeing Co.

     12/20/21        1.000%(Q)        4,100        0.723   $ 12,455      $ 21,566      $ (9,111  

Bank of America, N.A.

             

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

   

The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS    as of December 31, 2020

 

The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.

 

(1)

If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(2)

If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(3)

Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(4)

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

1.   Accounting Policies

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

Securities Valuation:    Each Portfolio holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM 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 Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit a Portfolio 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.

 

B1


For the fiscal reporting year-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolios’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.

Various inputs determine how the Portfolios’ investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and derivative instruments, if applicable, 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.

Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally 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 is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time each Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.

Investments in open-end funds (other than exchange-traded 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 classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Portfolios utilize the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on 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. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.

The Government Money Market Portfolio values all of its securities of sufficient credit quality at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bank loans 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. Bank loans valued based on a single broker quote or at the original transaction price in excess of five business days are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

OTC and centrally cleared derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Portfolios utilize the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also include consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a

 

B2


discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.

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. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.

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 Manager 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 unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Foreign Currency Translation:    The books and records of the Portfolios 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.

Although the net assets of the Portfolios are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Portfolios do 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 Portfolios do 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 Portfolios do 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.

Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.

Forward and Cross Currency Contracts:    A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain Portfolios entered into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposures to certain currencies. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward and cross currency contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward and cross currency contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the

 

B3


Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency.

Options:    Certain Portfolios purchased and/or wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Portfolio currently owns or intends to purchase. The Portfolios may also use options to gain additional market exposure. The Portfolios’ principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Portfolio purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Portfolio writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain (loss) to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Portfolio has realized a gain (loss). The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid at the closing of a purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain (loss). Gain (loss) on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Gain (loss) on written options is presented separately as net realized gain (loss) on options written transactions.

The Portfolio, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. The Portfolio, as purchaser of an OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.

When a Portfolio writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Portfolio will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.

Financial Futures Contracts:    A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolios are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolios each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.

Certain Portfolios invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge their existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolios intend to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolios may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Bank Loans:    Certain Portfolios invested in bank loans. Bank loans include fixed and floating rate loans that are privately negotiated between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions, including, but not limited to, term loans, revolvers, and other instruments issued in the bank loan market. The Portfolios acquires interests

 

B4


in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) and/or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a bank loan assignment, the Portfolios generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a bank loan participation, the Portfolios generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Portfolios generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Portfolios may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Portfolios will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Portfolios.

Repurchase Agreements:    Certain Portfolios entered into repurchase agreements. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is each Portfolio’s policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements, as the case may be, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transactions, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

Swap Agreements:    Certain Portfolios entered into certain types of swap agreements detailed in the disclosures below. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed either directly with a counterparty (“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. For OTC-traded, upfront premiums paid and received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.

Interest Rate Swaps:    Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. Certain Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective. Certain Portfolios used interest rate swaps to maintain their ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net present value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life.

Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”):    CDS involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (collectively a “credit event”) for the referenced entity (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country) on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.

Certain Portfolios are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives, and as such, have entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased CDS is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value due to a credit event.

As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Portfolio generally receives an agreed upon payment from the buyer of protection throughout the term of the swap, provided no credit event occurs. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively increases its investment risk because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

B5


The maximum amount of the payment that the Portfolio, as a seller of protection, could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. This potential amount will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements which the Portfolio entered into for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. These spreads serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of default risk for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads and increased market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Total Return Swaps:    In a total return swap, one party receives payments based on the market value of the security or the commodity involved, or total return of a specific referenced asset, such as an equity, index or bond, and in return pays a defined amount. Certain Portfolios are subject to risk exposures associated with the referenced asset in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain Portfolios entered into total return swaps to manage their exposure to a security or an index. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the change in the value of the security, in favor of the Portfolio, from the point of entering into the contract.

Master Netting Arrangements:    The Series Fund, on behalf of certain Portfolios, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of a Portfolio. For multi-sleeve Portfolios, different subadvisers who manage their respective sleeve, may enter into such agreements with the same counterparty and are disclosed separately for each sleeve when presenting information about offsetting and related netting arrangements for OTC derivatives. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Series Fund, on behalf of certain Portfolios, is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Portfolio is held in a segregated account by the Portfolio’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, are presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Portfolio is segregated by the Portfolio’s custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Portfolio’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Portfolio may occur upon a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Portfolio’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Portfolio’s future derivative activity.

In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in a portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/ insolvency of either party. Such OTC derivative agreements include conditions which, when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.

Short sales and OTC contracts, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, forward rate agreements and written options involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.

Warrants and Rights:    Certain Portfolios held warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Portfolios until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.

Payment-In-Kind:    Certain fixed income Portfolios invested in the open market or received pursuant to debt restructuring, securities that pay-in-kind (PIK) the interest due on such debt instruments. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified, is added to the existing principal balance of the debt when issued bonds have same terms as the bond or recorded as a separate bond when terms are different from the existing debt, and is recorded as interest income.

Delayed-Delivery Transactions:    Certain Portfolios purchased or sold securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery and forward commitment basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain an amount of liquid assets sufficient to meet the purchase price in a segregated account until the settlement date. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction subsequent to establishment, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss). When selling a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio forfeits its eligibility to realize future gains (losses) with respect to the security.

Securities Lending:    Certain Portfolios lend their 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 an affiliated money market 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. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.

The Portfolio 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 from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto, which are reflected in interest income or unaffiliated dividend income based on the nature of the payment on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of

Operations.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls:    Certain Portfolios entered into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Portfolios sell mortgage securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain (loss), and simultaneously enter into contracts to repurchase somewhat similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Portfolios forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Portfolios are compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the sale proceeds and the lower repurchase price is recorded as a realized gain on investment transactions. The Portfolios maintain a segregated account, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligations, with respect to dollar rolls. The Portfolios are subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Portfolios are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.

Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs):    Certain Portfolios invested in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income:    Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual. For Portfolios with multiple classes of shares, net investment income or loss (other than administration and distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective 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.

Taxes:    For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. Each Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolios is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). Each Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of each Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with each Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced below. Each Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from each Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. The Government Money Market Portfolio declares and reinvests distributions, if any, daily. Distributions are recorded on the ex-date.

Estimates:    The preparation of 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.

The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I, Class II and Class III shares of the Portfolios. The Portfolios compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolios’ Class II and Class III shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan” and “Class III Plan”, together, the Plans), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the Plans, the Class II and Class III shares of each Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II and Class III shares. In order to support the Fund’s income yield, PIMS has voluntarily undertaken to waive the distribution and service (12b-1) fees of the Government Money Market Portfolio Class III shares, respectively, such that the 1-day income yield (excluding capital gain (loss)) does not fall below 0.00%.

The Series Fund has an administration agreement with the Manager, which acts as the administrator of the Class II shares of the Portfolios. The administration fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.

The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those Portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was as follows:

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

The Portfolios may invest their overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and their securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. The Portfolios may also invest in the PGIM Core Short-Term Bond Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (together with PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, the “Core Funds”) registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolios’ investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Funds and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.

Certain Portfolios may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the SEC, the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such 17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’s Rule 17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2020, no 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Portfolios.

In March 2019, the following Portfolio was reimbursed by the Manager for costs incurred due to a portfolio allocation error. The reimbursement amount for the affected Portfolio is disclosed below and such amount is also disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the year ended December 31, 2019.

b.) Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters

In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolios.

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Series Fund. The per share amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolios’ “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction

dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. In May 2019, Prudential made an additional payment to the Portfolios relating to the opportunity loss upon the final review of the methodology used for the Portfolios’ rate of return calculation. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payments for each affected Portfolio are disclosed as “Capital Contributions” in the Portfolios’ “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and in the “Financial Highlights” for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019.

In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.

Prudential instituted a process in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following the pay-date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.

In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.

The following amounts have been paid by Prudential for excess withholding taxes related to permanent tax detriments as described above for certain countries due to the Portfolios’ status as partnerships for tax purposes.

*

The Fund did not have any capital gain distributions during the reporting period.

 

**

The amount, or a portion thereof, represents the affiliated securities lending income shown on the Statement of Operations.

 

5.   Tax Information

All Portfolios are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnerships is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions.After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.

With respect to the Portfolios, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of each Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.

The Manager has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolios’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 are subject to such review.

 

6.   Borrowings

The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, (excluding the Government Money Market Portfolio), along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Participating Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement

 

B17


(“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 table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reporting period-end as well as the prior SCA.

 

  

   Current SCA    Prior SCA
Term of Commitment    10/2/2020 – 9/30/2021    10/3/2019 – 10/1/2020
Total Commitment    $1,200,000,000    $1,222,500,000*
Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA    0.15%    0.15%
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings    1.30% plus the higher of (1)     the effective federal funds rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent    1.20% plus the higher of (1)     the effective federal funds rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent

*  Effective March 31, 2020, the SCA’s total commitment was increased from $900,000,000 to $1,162,500,000 and subsequently, effective April 7, 2020 was increased to $1,222,500,000.

Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Participating Funds in the SCA equitably.

The following Portfolios utilized the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2020. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Portfolios utilized the credit facility.

7.   Capital and Ownership

The Portfolios offer Class I shares and certain Portfolios offer Class II and/or Class III shares. All share classes are not subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I and Class III shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). Class II shares are sold only to separate accounts of non-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts of non-affiliated insurers for which Prudential or its affiliates administer and/or reinsure the variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts issued in connection with the separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolios through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolios to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.

8.   Risks of Investing in the Portfolios

The Portfolios’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below. For further information on the risks applicable to any given Portfolio, please refer to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of that Portfolio.

Derivatives Risk:    Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to a Portfolio. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, a Portfolio will

 

B23


depend on the subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivative transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to a Portfolio. A Portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for a Portfolio’s derivatives positions. In fact, many OTC derivative instruments lack liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. OTC derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to a Portfolio.

Emerging Markets Risk:    The risks of non-US investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic, political and social systems that are less developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to currency devaluations and rapid and unpredictable (and in some cases, extremely high) rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity, price volatility and valuation difficulties. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investments by non-US investors, or that prevent non-US investors from withdrawing their money at will, which may make it difficult for a Portfolio to invest in such countries or increase the administrative costs of such investments. Countries with emerging markets can be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa. A Portfolio may invest in some emerging markets through trading structures or protocols that subject it to risks such as those associated with decreased liquidity, custody of assets, different settlement and clearance procedures and asserting legal title under a developing legal and regulatory regime to a greater degree than in developed markets or even in other emerging markets.

Equity Securities Risk:    There is a risk that the value of a particular stock or equity-related security held by a Portfolio could fluctuate, perhaps greatly, in response to a number of factors, such as changes in the issuer’s financial condition. In addition to an individual stock losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector of those markets in which a Portfolio invests could go down. A Portfolio’s holdings can vary from broad market indexes, and the performance of a Portfolio can deviate from the performance of such indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments. Such events may result in losses to a Portfolio. Preferred stock generally pays dividends at a specified rate and has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets, but does not ordinarily carry voting rights. The price of a preferred stock is generally determined by earnings, type of products or services, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions of the markets on which the stock trades. The most significant risks associated with investments in preferred stock include the risk of losses attributable to adverse changes in interest rates, broader market conditions and the financial condition of the stock’s issuer. Equity securities may have greater price volatility than other types of investments. These risks are generally magnified in the case of equity investments in distressed companies.

Fixed Income Securities Risk:    Investment in fixed income securities involves a variety of risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

Credit risk:    Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of a security will be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest when due, or that the value of the security will suffer because investors believe the issuer is less able or willing to make required principal and interest payments. The downgrade of the credit of a security held by a Portfolio may decrease its value. Credit ratings are intended to provide a measure of credit risk. However, credit ratings are only the opinions of the credit rating agency issuing the ratings and are not guarantees as to quality. The lower the rating of a debt security held by a Portfolio, the greater the degree of credit risk that is perceived to exist by the credit rating agency with respect to that security. Increasing the amount of Portfolio assets allocated to lower-rated securities generally will increase the credit risk to which a Portfolio is subject.

Liquidity risk:    Liquidity risk is the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to sell some or all of the securities it holds, either at the price it values the security or at any price. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that there may be delays in selling a security, if it can be sold at all, which could prevent a Portfolio from taking advantage of other investment opportunities. In addition, liquidity risk refers to the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors’ interests because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, redemption requests by certain large shareholders such as institutional investors, or other reasons. Meeting such redemption requests may cause a Portfolio to have to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices or times and/or unfavorable conditions and, thus, could reduce the returns of a Portfolio and dilute remaining investors’ interests.

 

B24


Interest rate risk:    Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of an investment may go down in value when interest rates rise. The prices of fixed income securities generally move in the opposite direction to that of market interest rates. Changes in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of a Portfolio’s investments in fixed income securities. The risks associated with changing interest rates are heightened, given that interest rates in the US may increase, possibly suddenly and significantly, with unpredictable effects on the markets and a Portfolio’s investments. Volatility in interest rates and in fixed income markets may increase the risk that a Portfolio’s investment in fixed income securities will go down in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policies and inflation rates. Generally, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater is the decline in its value when rates increase. As a result, portfolios with longer durations and longer weighted average maturities generally have more volatile share prices than portfolios with shorter durations and shorter weighted average maturities.

Foreign Securities Risk:    A Portfolios’ investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. The securities of such issuers may trade in markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of a Portfolios’ investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.

LIBOR Risk:    Many financial instruments use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” which is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. Over the course of the last several years, global regulators have indicated an intent to phase out the use of LIBOR and similar interbank offering rates (IBOR). On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30, 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021. There still remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rates for LIBOR and the other IBORs as well as around fallback approaches for instruments extending beyond the any phase-out of these reference rates. The lack of consensus around replacement rates and the uncertainty of the phase out of LIBOR and other IBORs may result in increased volatility in corporate or governmental debt, bank loans, derivatives and other instruments invested in by a Portfolio as well as loan facilities used by a Portfolio. As such, the potential impact of a transition away from LIBOR on a Portfolio or the financial instruments in which a Portfolio invests cannot yet be determined. The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance and/or net asset value. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. Because the usefulness of LIBOR and the other IBORs as benchmarks could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could begin to be experienced by the end of 2021 and beyond until the anticipated discontinuance date in 2023 for the majority of the LIBOR rates.

Market and Management Risk:    Market risk is the risk that the markets in which a Portfolio invests will experience market volatility and go down in value, including the possibility that a market will go down sharply and unpredictably. All markets go through cycles, and market risk involves being on the wrong side of a cycle. Factors affecting market risk include political events, broad economic and social changes, and the mood of the investing public. If investor sentiment turns negative, the price of all securities may decline. Market risk also includes the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, war, terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics, or epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause a Portfolio to lose value. Such events may reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and significantly adversely impact the economy. In addition, economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Exchanges and securities markets may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, which may result in, among other things, a Portfolio being unable to buy or sell certain securities at an advantageous time or accurately price its portfolio investments. In addition, a Portfolio may rely on various third-party sources to calculate its net asset value. As a result, a Portfolio is subject to certain operational risks associated with reliance on service providers and service providers’ data sources. In particular, errors or systems failures and other technological issues may adversely impact the Portfolio’s calculations of its net asset value. Such net asset value

 

B25


calculation issues may result in inaccurately calculated net asset values, delays in net asset value calculations and/or the inability to calculate net asset values over extended periods. A Portfolio may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures.

Management risk is the risk that the investment strategy or the Manager or a subadviser will not work as intended. All decisions by the Manager or a subadviser require judgment and are based on imperfect information. In addition, if a Portfolio is managed using a quantitative investment model, it is subject to the risk that the model may not perform as expected. Similarly, there can be no assurance that quantitative models or methods utilized by the Manager or a subadviser, or related data sources, will always be available, and the loss of access to any such model(s) or data sources could have an adverse impact on a Portfolio’s ability to realize its investment objective. Moreover, regulatory restrictions, actual or potential conflicts of interest or other considerations may cause the Manager or a subadviser to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a Portfolio will be achieved.

Real Estate Risk:    Investments in REITs and real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject a Portfolio 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, operating expenses, overbuilding, construction delays and the supply of real estate generally, extended vacancies of properties, and the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer. An investment in a real estate-linked derivative instrument that is linked to the value of a REIT is subject to additional risks, such as poor performance by the manager of the REIT, adverse changes to tax laws, or failure by the REIT to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the tax laws. 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 and, as a result, may be more exposed to events that adversely affect such properties or areas than REITs that invest more broadly.

Small and Medium Sized Company Risk:    Securities of small and medium sized companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can have an adverse effect on the price of these securities and on a Portfolio’s ability to sell these securities. Changes in the demand for these securities generally have a disproportionate effect on their market price, tending to make prices rise more in response to buying demand and fall more in response to selling pressure. Such investments also may be more volatile than investments in larger companies, as smaller and medium sized companies generally experience higher growth and failure rates, and typically have less diversified product lines, less experienced senior management, and less access to capital than larger companies. In the case of small sized technology companies, the risks associated with technology company stocks, which tend to be more volatile than other sectors, are magnified.

US Government Securities Risk:    US Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the US Government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and US Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government. For example, securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither insured nor guaranteed by the US Government. These securities may be supported by the ability to borrow from the US Treasury or only by the credit of the issuing agency, authority, instrumentality or enterprise and, as a result, are subject to greater credit risk than securities issued or guaranteed by the US Treasury. Further, the US Government and its agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and enterprises do not guarantee the market value of their securities; consequently, the value of such securities will fluctuate. This may be the case especially when there is any controversy or ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the US Congress to increase the statutory debt ceiling. If the US Congress is unable to negotiate an adjustment to the statutory debt ceiling, there is also the risk that the US Government may default on payments on certain US Government securities, including those held by a Portfolio (including the Government Money Market Portfolio), which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio. An increase in demand for US Government securities resulting from an increase in demand for government money market funds may lead to lower yields on such securities.

 

9.   Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, which provides optional guidance for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is elective and is effective on March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

 

B26


On December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it voted to adopt a new rule that establishes an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation practices (the “Rule”). The Rule, in part, provides (i) a framework for determining fair value in good faith and (ii) provides for a fund Board’s assignment of its responsibility for the execution of valuation-related activities to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Rule will become effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and will have a compliance date 18 months following the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the Rule and its impact to the Funds.

Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform to GAAP.

 

(f)

Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution, which was not material to the total return.

 

(g)

Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been 4.15% and 3.63% for Class I and Class II, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of The Prudential Series Fund and Shareholders of Conservative Balanced Portfolio, Diversified Bond Portfolio, Equity Portfolio, Flexible Managed Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Government Income Portfolio, Government Money Market Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio, Jennison Portfolio, Natural Resources Portfolio, Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio, SP International Growth Portfolio, SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio, SP Small Cap Value Portfolio, Stock Index Portfolio and Value Portfolio

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Conservative Balanced Portfolio, Diversified Bond Portfolio, Equity Portfolio, Flexible Managed Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Government Income Portfolio, Government Money Market Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio, Jennison Portfolio, Natural Resources Portfolio, Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio, SP International Growth Portfolio, SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio, SP Small Cap Value Portfolio, Stock Index Portfolio and Value Portfolio (seventeen of the portfolios constituting The Prudential Series Fund, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of December 31, 2020, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial statements of Conservative Balanced Portfolio, Diversified Bond Portfolio, Equity Portfolio, Flexible Managed Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Government Income Portfolio, Government Money Market Portfolio, High Yield Bond Portfolio, Jennison Portfolio, Natural Resources Portfolio, Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio, SP International Growth Portfolio, SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio, SP Small Cap Value Portfolio, Stock Index Portfolio and Value Portfolio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose reports dated February 14, 2020 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.

The financial statements of Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 12, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

THE PGIM MUTUAL FUNDS

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY

on

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent

Accountants

The Audit Committee of each PGIM Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve the independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

 

   

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

 

   

a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

 

   

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services.

Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed

non-audit services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Such proposed non-audit services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.

The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.


Audit Services

The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

   

Annual Fund financial statement audits

 

   

Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

 

   

SEC and regulatory filings and consents

Audit-related Services

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

   

Accounting consultations

 

   

Fund merger support services

 

   

Agreed Upon Procedure Reports

 

   

Attestation Reports

 

   

Other Internal Control Reports

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories (except for fund merger support services) and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated). Fees related to fund merger support services are subject to a separate authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee with fees determined on a per occurrence and merger complexity basis.

Tax Services

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

Tax authority examination services

 

   

Tax appeals support services

 

   

Accounting methods studies

 

   

Fund merger support services

 

   

Tax consulting services and related projects

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated).

Other Non-Audit Services

Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.


Proscribed Services

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

 

   

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund

 

   

Financial information systems design and implementation

 

   

Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports

Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the PGIM Fund Complex

Certain non-audit services provided to PGIM Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the PGIM Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to PGIM Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to PGIM Investments and its affiliates.

(e) (2) Percentage of services referred to in 4(b) – 4(d) that were approved by the audit committee

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 100% of the services referred to in Item 4(b) was approved by the audit committee.

(f) Percentage of hours expended attributable to work performed by other than full time employees of principal accountant if greater than 50%.

The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
