Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  June 30, 2016

 

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 January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

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.

A U.S. Treasury Obligation, including those sold and pending settlement, with a market value of $8,367,735 has been segregated with Citigroup Global Markets to cover requirements for open centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swap contracts at June 30, 2016.

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) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country 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.

 

(4) 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.

 

(5) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices and asset-backed securities 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.

Cash of $8,201,000 and U.S. Treasury obligations with a combined market value of $14,121,835 have been segregated with Citigroup Global Markets to cover requirements for open centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swap contracts at June 30, 2016.

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) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices and asset-backed securities 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.

 

(4) 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.

 

(5) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of the emerging country 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.

U.S Treasury Obligations with a combined market value of $10,502,503 have been segregated with Citigroup Global Markets to cover requirements for open centrally cleared interest rate and credit default swap contracts at June 30, 2016.

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) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country 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.

 

(4) 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.

 

(5) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND

(unaudited)

 

Note 1:   General

The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolio” or “Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to the thirteen Portfolios which are listed below along with each Portfolio’s investment objective.

Conservative Balanced Portfolio:    Total investment return consistent with a conservatively managed diversified portfolio.

Diversified Bond Portfolio:    High level of income over a longer term while providing reasonable safety of capital.

Equity Portfolio:    Long-term growth of capital.

Flexible Managed Portfolio:    Total return consistent with an aggressively managed diversified portfolio.

Note 2:   Accounting Policies

The Series Fund follows investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The 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 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 Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit 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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Money Market Portfolio’s securities of sufficient credit quality are valued using amortized cost method, 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 in the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

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

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

 

B2


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

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:    Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, each Portfolio may invest up to 15% of their net assets (the Money Market Portfolio may invest up to 5% of its net assets) in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, a Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Portfolio. However, the liquidity of a Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

The Portfolios purchased government controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities that transfer most of the cost of defaults to private investors including the Portfolios. These are insurance-like products that are called Connecticut Avenue Securities by Fannie Mae and Structured Agency Credit Risk by Freddie Mac. Payments on the securities are based primarily on the performance of a reference pool of underlying mortgages. With such securities, the Portfolios could lose some or all of their principal if the underlying mortgages experience credit defaults.

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, as the case may be, under triparty repurchase agreements, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, 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 or 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.

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

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from holdings of foreign currencies, forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency

 

B3


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

Participatory notes/Warrants:    The Series Fund may gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets through investments in participatory notes (“P-notes”). The Series Fund may purchase P-notes pending ability to invest directly in a foreign market due to restrictions applicable to foreign investors or other market factors. P-notes are generally issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying security. P-notes involve transaction costs, which may be higher than those applicable to the equity securities. An investment in a P-note may involve risks, including counterparty risk, beyond those normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying security. The Series Fund must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty and would have no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. Furthermore, the P-note’s performance may differ from that of the underlying security. The holder of the P-note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer, an amount equal to dividends paid by the issuer of the underlying security; however, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (e.g., dividends, voting rights) as an owner of the underlying security. There is also no assurance that there will be a secondary trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underlying security.

Forward 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, as defined in the prospectus, entered into forward currency contracts 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 investments and foreign currencies. 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 foreign currency 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A Portfolio’s 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.

Cross Currency Exchange Contracts:    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.

Short Sales:    Certain Portfolios may sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Portfolio makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the transaction. The Portfolio may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. Dividends declared on short positions open are recorded on the ex-date and the interest payable is accrued daily on fixed income securities sold short, both of which are recorded as an expense. A gain, limited to the price at which the Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received.

Loan Participations:    Certain Portfolios may invest in loan participations. When the Portfolio purchases a loan participation, the Portfolio typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the borrower, the Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Portfolio and the borrower. The Portfolio may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan in which it has purchased the loan participation.

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 Portfolio is 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

 

B4


payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolio 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, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates. Portfolios may also use futures to gain additional market exposure. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio 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. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. With exchange-traded futures contracts, 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.

Options:    Certain Portfolios purchased 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. Portfolios may also use options to gain additional market exposure. The Portfolio’s 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 basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing 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 written options 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. OTC options also involve 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.

Swap Agreements:    Certain Portfolios may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. 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 commodities 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 investments. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount, known as “variation margin”, based on the daily changes in valuation of the swap contract. Payments received or paid by the Portfolio are recorded as realized gains

 

B5


(losses) upon termination or maturity of the swap. 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 agreements 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 objectives. Certain Portfolios used interest rate swaps to either 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 using interest rate swap contracts. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life.

Credit Default Swaps:    Credit default swaps (“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. Certain Portfolios entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or 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 credit default swaps is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value based on 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.

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 on corporate or sovereign issues of an emerging country 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. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk. 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.

Currency Swaps:    Certain Portfolios entered into currency swap agreements primarily to gain yield exposure on foreign bonds. Currency swap agreements involve two parties exchanging two different currencies with an agreement to reverse the exchange at a later date at specified exchange rates.

Total Return Swaps:    In a total return swap, one party would receive 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 pay a fixed amount. Certain Portfolios are subject to risk exposures associated with the

 

B6


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. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the change in the value of the security, in the Portfolio’s favor, from the point of entering into the contract.

Master Netting Arrangements:    Certain Portfolios are 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 the 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 under the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-01 disclosure. 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 Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s 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.

Certain Portfolios are parties to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) 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 the 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.

As of June 30, 2016, none of the Portfolios have met conditions under such agreements which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.

Forward currency contracts, written options, short sales, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.

 

B7


Warrants and Rights:    Certain Portfolios may hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, included as part of a private placement, 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. The Portfolio holds such warrants and rights as long positions by the Portfolio 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 securities:    Certain fixed income Portfolios may invest in the open market or receive 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.

Securities Lending:    The Portfolios may 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 a highly liquid ultra short-term bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. 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, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

Dollar Rolls:    Certain Portfolios enter 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.

Concentration of Risk:    The ability of debt securities issuers (other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic or political developments in a specific industry, region or country. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of the governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

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 identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the 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.

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

Taxes:    For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolios are treated as partnerships 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 Portfolios’ shareholders (Participating Insurance Companies). The Portfolios are 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 and interest and foreign capital gains tax are accrued in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from each Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. The 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 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 and Class II shares of the Series Fund. The Series Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series Fund’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), 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 Series Fund. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II 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 shares.

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

PIMS, PI, PGIM, Inc., QMA and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

Certain Portfolios have entered into a brokerage commission recapture agreement 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 with realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was as follows:

Note 4:   Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

 

B10


PGIM, Inc. also serves as the Series Fund’s securities lending agent. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated income from securities lending, net”. Effective February 5, 2016, PGIM, Inc. is being paid no compensation for acting as the securities lending agent. In addition, the securities lending agent continues to absorb the transaction costs associated with securities lending activity. Effective July 7, 2016, the Board replaced PGIM, Inc. as securities lending agent with a third party agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, PGIM, Inc. was compensated as follows for these services:

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the manager (PI) self reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of Prudential 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 Portfolios. The amount of opportunity loss payment to each of the Portfolios is disclosed in the respective Portfolios’ “Statement of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions”.

The SEC Staff and other regulators are currently reviewing the matter.

The 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 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. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board.

Certain Portfolios invest in the Prudential Core Short-Term Bond Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the Prudential Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, (formerly known as Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund), (the “Core Funds”), each a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Funds are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

The following Portfolios are reimbursed by Prudential for foreign withholding taxes for certain countries due to the Portfolios’ status as partnerships for tax purposes.

Note 6:   Tax Information

All Portfolios are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnerships is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable distributions. After each fiscal year each partner 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 Portfolios generally attempt to manage their diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

 

B12


Management 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. The Portfolios’ federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 7:   Capital

The Series Fund offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of a Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I 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. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Series Fund through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Series Fund to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts. As of June 30, 2016, the Equity, Jennison, Natural Resources and Value Portfolios have Class II shares outstanding.

Note 8:   Borrowings

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

The following Portfolios utilized the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Portfolios had utilized the credit facility.

As of June 30, 2016, all of Class I shares of record of each Portfolio were owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), or subsidiaries thereof, on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by PICA.

Note 10:   New Accounting Pronouncement

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

 

Note 11.   Other

Pursuant to the investment policy changes approved by the Board at its meeting on November 17, 2015 to become effective in or around October 2016, the Money Market Portfolio will change its name to Government Money Market Portfolio and will be managed as a government money market fund. Accordingly, it will invest at least 99.5% or more of its assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized with government securities. As a government money market fund, the Money Market Portfolio will continue to seek to maintain a stable $10.00 NAV and will not implement redemption gates and liquidity fees.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trust’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of The Prudential Series Fund (the Trust, and each series thereof, the Portfolios) consists of nine individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each of its Portfolios, their operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Investment Review and Risk Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee.

Annual Approval of the Trust’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (PI) and each Portfolio’s subadvisory agreement(s). As is further discussed and explained below, in considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 13-15, 2016 (the Meeting) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2017, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, each Portfolio and each Portfolio’s beneficial shareholders.

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with the consideration of those agreements. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in a relevant peer universe and peer group, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of each Portfolio, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with each Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided at or in advance of the Meeting, as well as information provided throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, including presentations from PI and subadviser personnel such as portfolio managers.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI, which serves as the Trust’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the best interests of the Trust, each Portfolio and each Portfolio’s shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for each Portfolio as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple Portfolios, but its approvals were made on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (SIRG), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and management Trustees of the Trust. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadvisers’ portfolio


managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of each Portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and each subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information pertaining to PI and each subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to PI and each subadviser. The Board noted that the Prudential Fixed Income (PFI) unit of PGIM, Inc., PGIM, Limited, Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison) and Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), each of which serve as subadvisers to various Portfolios of the Trust, are affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Portfolios by each subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that each Portfolio benefits from the services provided by PI and each subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board considered information regarding the profitability of PFI, Jennison and QMA, each of which are affiliates of PI, on a consolidated basis. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolios’ assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that economies of scale, if any, may be shared with the Portfolios in several ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

With respect to the Stock Index Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee schedule includes a breakpoint, which has the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but that at its current level of assets, the Stock Index Portfolio does not realize the effect of any rate reduction. The Board took note, however, that the Stock Index Portfolio’s fee structure would result in a benefit to shareholders when (and if) assets reach the level at which the fee rate is reduced. The Board also noted that it had accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary waiver of 0.05% of the management fee at each breakpoint level, and to replace it with an amendment to the Portfolio’s contractual management fee schedule, which would have the effect of reducing the management fee at each breakpoint level by 0.05%.

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadvisers

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadvisers, as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable contracts using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions that may be received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolios / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to each Portfolio, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolios for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2015, except as otherwise


noted below. The Board compared the historical performance of each Portfolio to the comparable performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and to a universe of mutual funds (the Peer Universe) that were determined by Broadridge, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of mutual fund data, to be similar to the Portfolio.

The Board also considered each Portfolio’s actual management fee, as well as each Portfolio’s net total expense ratio, for the calendar year 2015. The Board considered the management fee for each Portfolio as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a group of mutual funds that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Portfolio (the Peer Group). The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for each Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with the variable contracts.

The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe and each Peer Group were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolios in various quartiles, with the 1st quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds). To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided and the Board may have considered, supplemental data compiled by Broadridge for the Board’s consideration.

The sections below summarize key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding each Portfolio’s performance, fees and overall expenses. Each section sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark index over all periods.

 

 

The Board noted that in February 2016 the Portfolio appointed a new subadviser to replace the Portfolio’s prior subadviser, and that as a result, the Portfolio’s historical performance was not attributable to the Portfolio’s current subadviser.

 

 

The Board noted that PI had contractually agreed to waive 0.008% of its management fee through June 30, 2017.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be prudent to allow the new subadviser time to develop a performance record, and that it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the management agreement, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to incorporate the existing 0.05% contractual management fee waiver into an amendment to the Portfolio’s contractual management fee schedule, which would have the effect of reducing the management fee by 0.05% at each breakpoint.

The Board noted that, while the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark index over all periods, the portfolio manager team responsible for the Portfolio’s long term performance record had been replaced during 2014.

 

 

The Board noted that, because the Portfolio’s repositioning by the new portfolio manager was not completed until the end of 2014, 2015 marked the first full calendar year attributable to the current portfolio manager.

 

 

The Board considered information provided by PI, which indicated that the current portfolio manager had a successful long term performance record, demonstrating an ability to rebound from temporary underperformance.

 

 

The Board noted that the current portfolio manager did not yet have a three-year performance record in managing the Portfolio and that, therefore, it would be prudent to allow the Portfolio’s current portfolio manager to further develop its performance record.

 

 

The Board also noted that it would continue to monitor the Portfolio’s performance.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the agreements, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

**********

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, each Portfolio and its beneficial shareholders.

Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  June 30, 2016

 

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 January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

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 fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio may invest.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.   General

The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolio” or “Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to SP International Growth Portfolio.

The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

 

Note 2.   Accounting Policies

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

Securities Valuation:    The Portfolio holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally 4:00PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

 

B1


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

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

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

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:    Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Portfolio may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, the Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Portfolio. However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

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

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

Participatory Notes/Warrants:    The Portfolio may gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets through investments in participatory notes (“P-notes”). The Portfolio may purchase P-notes pending ability to invest directly in a foreign market due to restrictions applicable to foreign investors or other market factors.

 

B2


P-notes are generally issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying security. P-notes involve transaction costs, which may be higher than those applicable to the equity securities. An investment in a P-note may involve risks, including counterparty risk, beyond those normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying security. The Portfolio must rely on the creditworthiness of the counterparty and would have no rights against the issuer of the underlying security. Furthermore, the P-note’s performance may differ from that of the underlying security. The holder of the P-note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer, an amount equal to dividends paid by the issuer of the underlying security; however, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (e.g., dividends, voting rights) as an owner of the underlying security. There is also no assurance that there will be a secondary trading market for a P-note or that the trading price of a P-note will equal the value of the underlying security.

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

Master Netting Arrangements:    The Portfolio is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are arrangements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the 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 under the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-01 disclosure. 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 Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s 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.

Securities Lending:    The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid ultra short-term bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. 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, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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 identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual.

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, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The 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 Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (Participating Insurance Companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to

 

B3


entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the 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.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. 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.

 

Note 3.   Agreements

The Portfolio has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisers’ performance of such services. PI has entered into subadvisory agreements with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Neuberger Berman Management, LLC (“Neuberger Berman”) and William Blair & Company LLC (“William Blair”) (collectively, the “Subadvisers”), under which each provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. PI pays for the services of the Subadvisers, the cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, PI has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.011% of the average net assets of the Portfolio. Prior to July 1, 2016, PI has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.013% of the average net assets of the Portfolio through June 30, 2016. Effective February 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, PI has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses for the Portfolio so that the Portfolio’s investment management fees plus other expenses for both share classes (exclusive in all cases of taxes, short sale interest and dividend expenses, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1), administrative fees and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. These arrangements may not be terminated without the prior approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The effective management fee rate was 0.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Portfolio 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 and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), 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 Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.

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

PIMS, PI, and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Portfolio has entered into a brokerage commission recapture agreement 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. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $1,656.

 

B4


Note 4.   Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

PGIM, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Portfolio’s securities lending agent. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated income from securities lending, net”. Effective February 5, 2016, PGIM, Inc. is being paid no compensation for acting as the securities lending agent. In addition, the securities lending agent continues to absorb the transaction costs associated with the securities lending activity. Effective July 7, 2016, the Board replaced PGIM, Inc. as securities lending agent with a third party agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, PGIM, Inc. has been compensated $571 for these services.

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the manager (PI) self reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for the Portfolio of Prudential 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 the affected Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolio is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statement of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions”.

The SEC Staff and other regulators are currently reviewing the matter.

The Portfolio 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 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. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board.

The Portfolio invests in the Prudential Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, (formerly known as Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund), (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

The following Portfolio is reimbursed by Prudential for foreign withholding taxes for certain countries due to the Portfolio’s status as a partnership for tax purposes.

Note 5.   Portfolio Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding government securities and short-term issues) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $18,073,714 and $21,563,265, respectively.

 

Note 6.   Tax Information

The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable 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 Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the 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 Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

 

B5


Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Portfolio’s federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 7.   Capital

The Series Fund offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I 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. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Series Fund through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.

Note 8.   Borrowings

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

The Portfolio did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Note 9.   Ownership and Affiliates

As of June 30, 2016, all of Class I shares of record of the Portfolio were owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), or subsidiaries thereof, on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by PICA. PICA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential.

Note 10.   New Accounting Pronouncement

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

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trust’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of The Prudential Series Fund (the Trust, and each series thereof, the Portfolios) consists of nine individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each of its Portfolios, their operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Investment Review and Risk Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee.

Annual Approval of the Trust’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (PI) and the SP International Growth Portfolio’s (the Portfolio) subadvisory agreements. As is further discussed and explained below, in considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 13-15, 2016 (the Meeting) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2017, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s beneficial shareholders.

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with the consideration of those agreements. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in a relevant peer universe and peer group, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Portfolio, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided at or in advance of the Meeting, as well as information provided throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, including presentations from PI and subadviser personnel such as portfolio managers.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI, which serves as the Trust’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Portfolio as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple Portfolios, but its approvals were made on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (SIRG), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and management Trustees of the Trust. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadvisers’ portfolio


managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and each subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information pertaining to PI and each subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to PI and each subadviser. The Board noted that Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison), which serves as a subadviser to the Portfolio, is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Portfolio by each subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Portfolio benefits from the services provided by PI and each subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board considered information regarding the profitability of Jennison, which is an affiliate of PI, on a consolidated basis. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolio’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that economies of scale, if any, may be shared with the Portfolio in several ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadvisers

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadvisers, as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable contracts using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions that may be received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolio / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Portfolio, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolio for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board compared the historical performance of the Portfolio to the comparable performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and to a universe of mutual funds (the Peer Universe) that were determined by Broadridge, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of mutual fund data, to be similar to the Portfolio.

The Board also considered the Portfolio’s actual management fee, as well as the Portfolio’s net total expense ratio, for the calendar year 2015. The Board considered the management fee for the Portfolio as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a group of mutual funds that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Portfolio (the Peer Group). The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio


shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with the variable contracts.

The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe and each Peer Group were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolio in various quartiles, with the 1st quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds). To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided and the Board may have considered, supplemental data compiled by Broadridge for the Board’s consideration.

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Portfolio’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The section sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

Actual Management Fees: 3rd Quartile
Net Total Expenses: 4th Quartile

 

 

The Board noted that the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index over all periods.

 

 

The Board noted that PI had contractually agreed to waive 0.013% of its management fee through June 30, 2016.

 

 

The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to allow the existing contractual management fee waiver to expire and replace it with a new contractual management fee waiver of 0.011% through June 30, 2017.

 

 

The Board further noted that PI had contractually agreed through June 30, 2017 to cap Portfolio expenses at 1.01%.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the agreements, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

**********

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and its beneficial shareholders.

Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  June 30, 2016

 

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 January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

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 fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.   General

The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolio” or “Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio.

The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

 

Note 2.   Accounting Policies

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

Securities Valuation:    The Portfolio holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

 

B1


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

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

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

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:    Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Portfolio may invest up to 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, the Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Portfolio. However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

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

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

Concentration of Risk:    Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of

 

B2


political or economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

Master Netting Arrangements:    The Portfolio is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are arrangements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s 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.

Securities Lending:    The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid ultra short-term bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. 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 and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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 identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on 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.

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, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The 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 Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (Participating Insurance Companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the 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.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio. Distributions to shareholders 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.

Note 3.   Agreements

The Portfolio has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”) (the “Subadviser”), under which Jennison provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. PI pays for the services of the Subadviser, cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The effective management fee rate was 0.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Portfolio 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 and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), 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 Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.

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

PIMS, PI, and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Portfolio has entered into a brokerage commission recapture agreement 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 with realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $4,048.

 

Note 4.   Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

PGIM, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Portfolio’s securities lending agent. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated income from securities lending, net”. Effective February 5, 2016, PGIM, Inc. is being paid no compensation for acting as the securities lending agent. In addition, the securities lending agent continues to absorb the transaction costs associated with the securities lending activity. Effective July 7, 2016, the Board replaced PGIM, Inc. as securities lending agent with a third party agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, PGIM, Inc. has been compensated $77 for these services.

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the manager (PI) self reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for the Portfolio of Prudential 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 the affected Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolio is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statement of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions”.

The SEC Staff and other regulators are currently reviewing the matter.

 

B4


The Portfolio 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 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. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board.

The Portfolio invests in the Prudential Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, (formerly known as Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund), (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

 

Note 5.   Portfolio Securities

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $36,875,752 and $43,199,618, respectively.

 

Note 6.   Tax Information

The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable 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 Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the 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 Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Portfolio’s federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 7.   Capital

The Series Fund offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I 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. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Series Fund through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Series Fund to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts. As of June 30, 2016, the SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio has Class II shares outstanding.

Note 8.   Borrowings

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

The Portfolio did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Note 9.   Ownership and Affiliates

As of June 30, 2016, all of Class I shares of record of the Portfolio were owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), or subsidiaries thereof, on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by PICA. PICA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential.

 

Note 10.   New Accounting Pronouncement

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

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trust’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of The Prudential Series Fund (the Trust, and each series thereof, the Portfolios) consists of nine individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each of its Portfolios, their operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Investment Review and Risk Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee.

Annual Approval of the Trust’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (PI) and the SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio’s (the Portfolio) subadvisory agreement. As is further discussed and explained below, in considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 13-15, 2016 (the Meeting) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2017, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s beneficial shareholders.

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with the consideration of those agreements. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in a relevant peer universe and peer group, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Portfolio, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided at or in advance of the Meeting, as well as information provided throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, including presentations from PI and subadviser personnel such as portfolio managers.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI, which serves as the Trust’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison or the subadviser), which serves as subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Portfolio as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple Portfolios, but its approvals were made on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and the subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (SIRG), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and management Trustees of the Trust. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by the subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and the subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadviser’s portfolio managers


who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and the subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information pertaining to PI and the subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to PI and each subadviser. The Board noted that Jennison is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Portfolio by the subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Portfolio benefits from the services provided by PI and the subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board considered information regarding the profitability of Jennison, which is an affiliate of PI, on a consolidated basis. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolio’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that economies of scale, if any, may be shared with the Portfolios in several ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadviser, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadviser, as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable contracts using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadviser included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions that may be received by affiliates of the subadviser, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolio / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Portfolio, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolio for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board compared the historical performance of the Portfolio to the comparable performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and to a universe of mutual funds (the Peer Universe) that were determined by Broadridge, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of mutual fund data, to be similar to the Portfolio.

The Board also considered the Portfolio’s actual management fee, as well as the Portfolio’s net total expense ratio, for the calendar year 2015. The Board considered the management fee for the Portfolio as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a group of mutual funds that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Portfolio (the Peer Group). The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio


shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with the variable contracts.

The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe and each Peer Group were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolio in various quartiles, with the 1st quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds). To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided and the Board may have considered, supplemental data compiled by Broadridge for the Board’s consideration.

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Portfolio’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The section sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

   3 Years    5 Years    10 Years
   3rd Quartile    4th Quartile    3rd Quartile    2nd Quartile
Actual Management Fees: 1st Quartile
Net Total Expenses: 1st Quartile

 

 

The Board noted that the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index over the ten-year period, although it underperformed its benchmark index over the one-, three- and five-year periods.

 

 

The Board considered that the Portfolio’s recent performance had shown improvement, with the Portfolio ranked in the 2nd quartile of its Peer Universe during the first quarter of 2016.

 

 

The Board considered information provided by PI, which indicated that the Portfolio was constructed as a lower risk portfolio in a high risk asset class, which detracted from performance relative to higher-risk peers in 2013 and 2014. The Board noted PI’s assertion that the Portfolio performs above expectations in periods when lower risk is rewarded.

 

 

The Board noted that the Portfolio had finished in the top half of its Peer Universe in three of the past five calendar years.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the agreements, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

**********

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and its beneficial shareholders.

Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  June 30, 2016

 

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 January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

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 fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio may invest.

THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.   General

The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolio” or “Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to SP Small Cap Value Portfolio.

The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

 

Note 2.   Accounting Policies

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

Securities Valuation:    The Portfolio holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

 

B1


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

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

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

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:    Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Portfolio may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, the Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Portfolio. However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

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

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

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

 

B2


Master Netting Arrangements:    The Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s 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.

Securities Lending:    The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid ultra short-term bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. 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, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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 identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.

Taxes:    For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The 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 Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (Participating Insurance Companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the 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.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio. 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 these estimates.

 

Note 3.   Agreements

The Portfolio has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisers’ performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) (the “Subadviser”), under which GSAM provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. PI pays for the services of the Subadviser, cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. PI has contractually agreed, through June 30, 2017, to waive a portion of

 

B3


its management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.008% of the average net assets of the Portfolio. The effective management fee rate was 0.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

PI is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Portfolio has entered into a brokerage commission recapture agreement 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. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $2,956.

 

Note 4.   Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

PGIM, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Portfolio’s securities lending agent. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated income from securities lending, net”. Effective February 5, 2016, PGIM, Inc. is being paid no compensation for acting as the securities lending agent. In addition, the securities lending agent continues to absorb the transaction costs associated with the securities lending activity. Effective July 7, 2016, the Board replaced PGIM, Inc. as securities lending agent with a third party agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, PGIM, Inc. has been compensated $312 for these services.

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the manager (PI) self reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for the Portfolio of Prudential 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 the affected Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolio is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statement of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions”.

The SEC Staff and other regulators are currently reviewing the matter.

The Portfolio 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 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. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board.

The Portfolio invests in the Prudential Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (formerly known as Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund), (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

 

Note 5.   Portfolio Securities

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities other than short-term investments and U.S. government securities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $46,001,058 and $55,463,424, respectively.

 

Note 6.   Tax Information

The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable 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.

 

B4


With respect to the Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the 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 Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Portfolio’s federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 7.   Capital

The shares of the Portfolio are not subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). The separate accounts invest in shares of the Series Fund through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Series Fund to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.

 

Note 8.   Borrowings

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

The Portfolio utilized the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average daily balance for the 1 day that the Portfolio had loans outstanding during the period was $1,920,000 borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.69%. The maximum loan balance outstanding amount during the period was $1,920,000. At June 30, 2016, the Portfolio did not have an outstanding loan balance.

 

Note 9.   Ownership and Affiliates

As of June 30, 2016, all of Class I shares of record of the Portfolio were owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), or subsidiaries thereof, on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by PICA. PICA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential.

 

Note 10.   New Accounting Pronouncement

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

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trust’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of The Prudential Series Fund (the Trust, and each series thereof, the Portfolios) consists of nine individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each of its Portfolios, their operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Investment Review and Risk Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee.

Annual Approval of the Trust’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (PI) and the SP Small-Cap Value Portfolio’s (the Portfolio) subadvisory agreement. As is further discussed and explained below, in considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 13-15, 2016 (the Meeting) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2017, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s beneficial shareholders.

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with the consideration of those agreements. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in a relevant peer universe and peer group, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Portfolio, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided at or in advance of the Meeting, as well as information provided throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, including presentations from PI and subadviser personnel such as portfolio managers.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI, which serves as the Trust’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (Goldman Sachs or the subadviser), which serves as subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Portfolio as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple Portfolios, but its approvals were made on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (SIRG), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and management Trustees of the Trust. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by the subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and the subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadviser’s portfolio managers


who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and the subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information pertaining to PI and the subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to PI and the subadviser.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Portfolio by the subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Portfolio benefits from the services provided by PI and the subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolio’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that economies of scale, if any, may be shared with the Portfolio in several ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadviser, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadvisers, as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable contracts using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadviser included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions that may be received by affiliates of the subadviser, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadviser were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolio / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Portfolio, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolio for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board compared the historical performance of the Portfolio to the comparable performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and to a universe of mutual funds (the Peer Universe) that were determined by Broadridge, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of mutual fund data, to be similar to the Portfolio.

The Board also considered the Portfolio’s actual management fee, as well as the Portfolio’s net total expense ratio, for the calendar year 2015. The Board considered the management fee for the Portfolio as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a group of mutual funds that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Portfolio (the Peer Group). The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with the variable contracts.


The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe and each Peer Group were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolio in various quartiles, with the 1st quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds). To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided and the Board may have considered, supplemental data compiled by Broadridge for the Board’s consideration.

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Portfolio’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The section sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

   1st Quartile    2nd Quartile    2nd Quartile    2nd Quartile

Net Total Expenses: 4th Quartile

 

 

The Board noted that the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index over all periods.

 

 

The Board noted that PI had contractually agreed to waive 0.008% of its management fee through June 30, 2017.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the agreements, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

**********

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and its beneficial shareholders.

Fees and Expenses — unaudited

  June 30, 2016

 

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 January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016.

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 fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio may invest.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND

(unaudited)

 

Note 1.   General

The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolio” or “Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio.

The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.

 

Note 2.   Accounting Policies

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

Securities Valuation:    The Portfolio holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

 

B1


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

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

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

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:    Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Portfolio may invest up to 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, the Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board of the Portfolio. However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

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

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

Concentration of Risk:    The ability of debt securities issuers (other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Portfolio to meet its obligations may be affected by the economic or political

 

B2


developments in a specific industry, region or country. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

Master Netting Arrangements:    The Portfolio may be subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are arrangements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the 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 under the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-01 disclosure. 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 Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s 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.

Securities Lending:    The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid ultra short-term bond fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. 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, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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 identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on 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.

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, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The 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 Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (Participating Insurance Companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the 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.

Distributions:    Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio. Distributions to shareholders 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.

Note 3.   Agreements

The Portfolio has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”) (the “Subadviser”), under which Jennison provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. PI pays for the services of the Subadviser, cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The effective management fee rate was 0.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Portfolio 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 and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), 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 Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.

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

PIMS, PI and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Portfolio has entered into a brokerage commission recapture agreement 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 with realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $5,889.

 

Note 4.   Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

PGIM, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Portfolio’s securities lending agent. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated income from securities lending, net”. Effective February 5, 2016, PGIM, Inc. is being paid no compensation for acting as the securities lending agent. In addition, the securities lending agent continues to absorb the transaction costs associated with the securities lending activity. Effective July 7, 2016, the Board replaced PGIM, Inc. as securities lending agent with a third party agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, PGIM, Inc. has been compensated $1,085 for these services.

In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the manager (PI) self reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for the Portfolio of Prudential 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 the affected Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolio is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statement of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions”.

The SEC Staff and other regulators are currently reviewing the matter.

 

B4


The Portfolio 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 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. Such transactions are subject to ratification by the Board.

The Portfolio invests in the Prudential Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, (formerly known as Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund), (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.

 

Note 5.   Portfolio Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding government securities and short-term issues) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $76,749,561 and $89,838,067, respectively.

 

Note 6.   Tax Information

The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable 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 Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the 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 Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Portfolio’s federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 7.   Capital

The Series Fund offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I 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. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Series Fund through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Series Fund to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.

Note 8.   Borrowings

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

The Portfolio utilized the SCA during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The average daily balance for the 2 days that the Portfolio had loans outstanding during the period was $177,000, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.72%. The maximum loan balance outstanding during the period was $254,000. At June 30, 2016, the Portfolio did not have an outstanding loan balance.

 

Note 9.   Ownership and Affiliates

As of June 30, 2016, all of Class I shares of record of the Portfolio were owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), or subsidiaries thereof, on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by PICA. PICA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential.

 

Note 10.   New Accounting Pronouncement

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

Approval of Advisory Agreements

The Trust’s Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of The Prudential Series Fund (the Trust, and each series thereof, the Portfolios) consists of nine individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each of its Portfolios, their operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Compliance Committee and the Investment Review and Risk Committee. Each committee is chaired by an Independent Trustee.

Annual Approval of the Trust’s Advisory Agreements

As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (PI) and the Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio’s (the Portfolio) subadvisory agreement. As is further discussed and explained below, in considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 13-15, 2016 (the Meeting) and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2017, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s beneficial shareholders.

In advance of the Meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with the consideration of those agreements. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in a relevant peer universe and peer group, as is further discussed below.

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Portfolio, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided at or in advance of the Meeting, as well as information provided throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, including presentations from PI and subadviser personnel such as portfolio managers.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI, which serves as the Trust’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison or the subadviser), which serves as subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and the Portfolio’s shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board considered the approval of the agreements for the Portfolio as part of its consideration of agreements for multiple Portfolios, but its approvals were made on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and the subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (SIRG), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and management Trustees of the Trust. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by the subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and the subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadviser’s portfolio managers


who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and the subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information pertaining to PI and the subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to PI and each subadviser. The Board noted that Jennison is affiliated with PI.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Portfolio by the subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Portfolio benefits from the services provided by PI and the subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board considered information regarding the profitability of Jennison, which is an affiliate of PI, on a consolidated basis. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolio’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that economies of scale, if any, may be shared with the Portfolios in several ways, including low management fees from inception, additional technological and personnel investments to enhance shareholder services, and maintaining existing expense structures in the face of a rising cost environment. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadviser, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadviser, as well as benefits to its reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable contracts using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadviser included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions that may be received by affiliates of the subadviser, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to their reputations. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolio / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Portfolio, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolio for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board compared the historical performance of the Portfolio to the comparable performance of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and to a universe of mutual funds (the Peer Universe) that were determined by Broadridge, Inc. (Broadridge), an independent provider of mutual fund data, to be similar to the Portfolio.

The Board also considered the Portfolio’s actual management fee, as well as the Portfolio’s net total expense ratio, for the calendar year 2015. The Board considered the management fee for the Portfolio as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a group of mutual funds that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Portfolio (the Peer Group). The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with the variable contracts.


The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe and each Peer Group were objectively determined by Broadridge, an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolio in various quartiles, with the 1st quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds). To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided and the Board may have considered, supplemental data compiled by Broadridge for the Board’s consideration.

The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Portfolio’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The section sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

   3 Years    5 Years    10 Years
   1st Quartile    2nd Quartile    4th Quartile    1st Quartile
Actual Management Fees: 3rd Quartile
Net Total Expenses: 4th Quartile

 

 

The Board noted that the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index over the one- and ten-year periods, although it underperformed over the three- and five-year periods.

 

 

The Board further noted the Portfolio’s strong recent performance, with the Portfolio ranked third out of 205 funds in its Peer Universe over the one-year period.

 

 

The Board concluded that, in light of the above, it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to renew the agreements, and that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.

**********

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Trust, the Portfolio and its beneficial shareholders.
