Supplement dated September 7, 2012
to the current Prospectus
of each of the Funds Listed Below


 

The Prospectus of each Fund is revised as follows:

I. In the section of each Prospectus entitled “How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Fund Shares,” the footnotes appearing immediately underneath the chart captioned “Share Class Comparison” are revised by deleting the initial footnote and substituting the following new footnote:

° The minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements do not apply to employee savings plan accounts, payroll deduction plan accounts, or when exchanging all shares of an account to an existing account with the same registration. The minimum initial investment for retirement accounts and custodial accounts for minors is $1,000. The minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts is $50 (if your shares are held through a broker or other financial intermediary, the broker or intermediary is responsible for determining the minimum initial and subsequent investment for AIP accounts).

II. In the section of each Prospectus1 entitled “How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Fund Shares,” the sub-section entitled “Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares” is revised by replacing the third and fifth paragraphs in their entirety with the following as the third and fifth paragraphs, respectively:

The CCO has defined frequent trading as one or more round–trip transactions in shares of the Fund within a 30-day period. If this occurs, the shareholder’s account will be subject to a 60-day warning period. If a second round-trip occurs before the conclusion of the 60-day warning period, a trading suspension will be placed on the account by the Fund’s Transfer Agent that will remain in effect for 90 days. The trading suspension will relate to purchases and exchange purchases (but not redemptions) in the Fund in which the frequent trading occurred. Exceptions to the trading policy will not normally be granted.

* * * *

The Fund reserves the right to reject or cancel, without prior notice, all additional purchases or exchanges into the Fund by a shareholder. Moreover, the Fund may direct a broker-dealer or other intermediary to block a shareholder account from future trading in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will monitor trading activity over $25,000 per account on a daily basis for a rolling 90-day period. If a purchase into the Fund is rejected or canceled, the shareholder will receive a return of the purchase amount.

[1] This change does not apply to the current Prospectus of Prudential MoneyMart Assets, Inc.
