Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Series own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2008 in valuing the Series’ assets carried at fair value:

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadvisers; to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been effected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation 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 issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Municipal securities (including commitments to purchase such securities on a “when-issued” basis) are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining values.

Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price.

Swaps are valued by “marking-to-market” the unrealized gains or losses daily.

The Fund invests in variable rate securities including securities commonly called “inverse floaters”. The interest rates on these securities have an inverse relationship to the interest rate of other securities or the value of an index. Changes in interest rates on the other security or index inversely affect the rate paid on the inverse floater, and the inverse floater’s price will be more volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. Additionally, some of these securities contain a “leverage factor” whereby the interest rate moves inversely by a “factor” to the benchmark rate. Certain interest rate movements and other market factors can substantially affect the liquidity of inverse floating rate notes.

Short-term debt securities which mature in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market 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. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than sixty dates are valued at current market quotations.

Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent Report to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
