Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

 

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadviser; to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker.

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

 

Market values of investments traded in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rates of exchange.

 

Short-term securities, which mature in sixty days or less are valued at, amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method includes valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities, which mature in more than sixty days, are valued at current market quotations.
