B.The Board of PSF recently approved a revision to PSF’s Plan Pursuant to Rule 18f-3 to permit Class I shares to be offered to separate accounts of insurance companies that are not affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc.

 

To reflect this change, the PSF Prospectus and PSF SAI are revised as follows:

 

1.The section of the PSF Prospectus entitled “ABOUT THE TRUST – ABOUT THE TRUST AND ITS PORTFOLIOS” is hereby revised by replacing the third paragraph with the following:

 

Each Portfolio of the Trust offers Class I shares and certain Portfolios of the Trust also offer Class II shares. Class I shares are sold to separate accounts of insurance companies affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc., including but not limited to The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (collectively, Prudential) as investment options under variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (the Contracts). Class I shares may also be sold to separate accounts of insurance companies not affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class II shares are offered only to separate accounts of non-Prudential insurance companies for the same types of Contracts. Shares of the Trust may be sold directly to certain qualified retirement plans.

 

2.The section of the PSF Prospectus entitled “HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIOS – PURCHASING AND REDEEMING PORTFOLIO SHARES” is hereby revised by replacing the first paragraph with the following:

 

Each Portfolio of the Trust offers Class I shares and certain Portfolios of the Trust also offer Class II shares. Each Class participates in the same investments within a given Portfolio, but the Classes differ as far as their charges. Class I shares are sold to separate accounts of Prudential as investment options under certain variable annuity and variable life insurance Contracts. Class I shares may also be sold to separate accounts of insurance companies not affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class II is offered only to separate accounts

 
 

of non-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain of their Contracts. Please refer to the accompanying Contract prospectus to see which Portfolios are available through your Contract.

 

3.In Part I of the PSF SAI, the section entitled “INTRODUCTION” is hereby revised by replacing the first paragraph after the bullet points with the following:

 

Each Portfolio of the Trust offers Class I shares and certain Portfolios of the Trust also offer Class II shares. Class I shares are sold to separate accounts of insurance companies affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc., including but not limited to The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (collectively, Prudential) as investment options under variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (the Contracts). Class I shares may also be sold to separate accounts of insurance companies not affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class II shares are offered only to separate accounts of non-Prudential insurance companies for the same types of Contracts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Trust through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Trust to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the Contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the Contracts.

 

C.The section of the PSF Prospectus entitled “MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON HOW THE PORTFOLIOS INVEST – INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES” is hereby revised by replacing the second paragraph with the following:

 

Although we make every effort to achieve each Portfolio’s objective, we can’t guarantee success and it is possible that you could lose money.

 

 

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
