Prudential's Gibraltar Fund
PROSPECTUS • April 15, 2020
Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc. (the Fund) offers one class of shares. You may invest in the Fund only through the systematic investment plan contracts and the variable annuity contracts issued as part of the Financial Security Program and the Annuity Plan Account - 2 of the Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential). The contracts are no longer sold. Planholders still owning contracts may make additional investments in accordance with their contract.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission or the SEC) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) nor has the Commission or the CFTC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Prudential, the Prudential logo, and the Rock symbol are service marks of Prudential Financial, Inc. and its related entities, registered in many jurisdictions worldwide.


FUND SUMMARY
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is growth of capital to an extent compatible with a concern for preservation of principal. Current income, if any, is incidental.
Fund Fees and Expenses
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. This table does not show charges that are imposed by the investment plan contracts or the variable annuity contracts. Because contract charges are not included, the total fees and expenses that you will incur will be higher than the fees and expenses set forth in the table. See your contract for additional information about contract charges.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses % (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)  
Management Fees 0.55%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees None
Other Expenses 0.07%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.62%
Example. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The following example does not include the effect of contract charges. Because contract charges are not included, the total fees and expenses that you will incur will be higher than the fees and expenses set forth in the example. For more information about contract charges see your contract.
The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example assumes a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same as shown in the chart above. The figures shown would be the same whether or not you sold your shares at the end of each period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Expense Example 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
  $63 $199 $346 $774
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 16% of the average value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests primarily in common stock and other securities convertible into common stock. Those investments can include American Depository Receipts, which are dollar-denominated certificates representing a right to receive securities of a foreign issuer.
The Fund's portfolio managers seek to invest in medium to large companies that they believe possess sustainable, above-market growth in revenues, earnings, and cash flows and reasonable valuations, resulting in a fund that exhibits growth characteristics blended with valuations comparable to that of the market.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund. The risks summarized below are the principal risks of investing in the Fund. All investments have risks to some degree and it is possible that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. While the Fund makes every effort to achieve its objective, the Fund cannot guarantee success.
The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.
1

Economic and Market Events Risk. Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the US Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in periods of unusually high volatility in a market or a segment of a market, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.
Equity Securities Risk. The value of a particular stock or equity-related security held by the Fund could fluctuate, perhaps greatly, in response to a number of factors, such as changes in the issuer’s financial condition or the value of the equity markets or a sector of those markets.  Such events may result in losses to the Fund.
Investment Style Risk. Securities held by the Fund as a result of a particular investment style, such as growth or value, tend to perform differently (i.e., better or worse than other segments of, or the overall, stock market) depending on market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. At times when the investment style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but use different investment styles.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk. The Fund may hold one or more securities for which there are no or few buyers and sellers or the securities are subject to limitations on transfer.  The Fund may be unable to sell those portfolio holdings at the desired time or price and may have difficulty determining the value of such securities for the purpose of determining the Fund’s net asset value.  In such cases, investments owned by the Fund may be valued at fair value pursuant to guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. No assurance can be given that the fair value prices accurately reflect the value of the security. The Fund is subject to a liquidity risk management program, which limits the ability of the Fund to invest in illiquid investments.
Market and Management Risk. Markets in which the Fund invests may experience volatility and go down in value, and possibly sharply and unpredictably. Investment techniques, risk analyses and investment strategies, including quantitative models or methods, used by a subadviser in making investment decisions for the Fund may not produce the intended or desired results. The value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.
Expense Risk. The actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table above for a variety of reasons, including, for example, if the Fund’s average net assets decrease.
Regulatory Risk. The Fund is subject to a variety of laws and regulations which govern its operations. The Fund is subject to regulation by the SEC. Similarly, the businesses and other issuers of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests are also subject to considerable regulation. Changes in laws and regulations may materially impact the Fund, a security, business, sector or market.
Past Performance. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and a group of similar mutual funds. Past performance does not mean that the Fund will achieve similar results in the future. The Fund's returns are shown after deduction of Fund expenses. They do not include any charges under the investment contracts or variable annuity contracts. If those contract charges were included, the annual returns would be lower than those shown.

Tax Information
The federal income tax rules applicable to Planholders vary depending on the contract and whether a tax qualified plan is involved. You should consult with your plan sponsor or a qualified tax adviser for tax information applicable to you.
The Fund intends to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to investment companies selling their shares to insurance company separate accounts. By meeting these requirements, Prudential-but not the variable contract owners-should be subject to tax on distributions by the Fund to the separate accounts.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
You may invest in the Fund only through certain contracts previously issued by Prudential. Those contracts are no longer sold. Planholders still owning contracts may make additional investments in accordance with their contracts. Prudential, its affiliates or persons that sold the contracts may receive compensation in connection with investments in the Fund and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing Prudential and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson for more information.

PRINCIPAL RISKS
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Although we try to invest wisely, all investments involve risk. Like any mutual fund, an investment in the Fund could lose value, and you could lose money. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, as identified in the Summary, are discussed in greater detail below. The Fund may be subject to additional risks other than those identified and described below because the types of investments made by a Fund can change over time.
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. While the Fund makes every effort to achieve its objective, the Fund cannot guarantee success.
The order of the below risk factors does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.
Economic and Market Events Risk. Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the US Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in periods of unusually high volatility in a market or a segment of a market, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.
Equity Securities Risk. There is a risk that the value of a particular stock or equity-related security held by the Fund could fluctuate, perhaps greatly, in response to a number of factors, such as changes in the issuer’s financial condition.  In addition to an individual stock losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector of those markets in which the Fund invests could go down.  The Fund’s holdings can vary from broad market indexes, and the performance of the Fund can deviate from the performance of such indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.  Such events may result in losses to the Fund. Preferred stock generally pays dividends at a specified rate and has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets, but does not ordinarily carry voting rights. The price of a preferred stock is generally determined by earnings, type of products or services, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions of the markets on which the stock trades. The most significant risks associated with investments in preferred stock include the risk of losses attributable to adverse changes in interest rates, broader market conditions and the financial condition of the stock’s issuer. Equity securities may have greater price volatility than other types of investments. These risks are generally magnified in the case of equity investments in distressed companies
Investment Style Risk.  Securities of a particular investment style, such as growth or value, tend to perform differently and shift into and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions and investor sentiment, and tend to go through cycles of performing better—or worse—than other segments of the stock market or the overall stock market.  As a result, the Fund’s performance may at times be worse than the performance of other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles.
Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. Investors often expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate. If these expectations are not met, share prices may decline significantly, even if earnings do increase. Further, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks. This means they depend more on price changes for returns and may be more adversely affected in a down market compared to value stocks that pay higher dividends. 
There is a risk that the value investment style may be out of favor for a period of time, that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. Historically, value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk. From time to time, the Fund may hold one or more securities for which there are no or few buyers and sellers, or where the securities are subject to limitations on transfer. In those cases, the Fund may have difficulty determining the values of those securities for the purpose of determining the Fund’s net asset value.
4

The Fund also may have difficulty disposing of those securities at an advantageous time or at the values determined by the Fund for the purpose of determining the Fund’s net asset value, especially during periods of significant net redemptions of Fund shares. As a result, the Fund may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to certain issuers, asset classes or sectors. Private equity investments and private real estate-related investments are generally classified as illiquid investments and generally cannot be readily sold. As a result, private real estate-related investments owned by the Fund may be valued at fair value pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. Fair value determinations are inherently subjective and reflect good faith judgments based on available information. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the fair value prices accurately reflect the price the Fund would receive upon the sale of the investment. The Fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
Market and Management Risk. Market risk is the risk that the markets in which the Fund invests will experience market volatility and go down in value, including the possibility that a market will go down sharply and unpredictably. All markets go through cycles, and market risk involves being on the wrong side of a cycle. Factors affecting market risk include political events, broad economic and social changes, and the mood of the investing public. If investor sentiment turns negative, the price of all securities may decline. Market risk also includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level.  For instance, terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, natural/environmental disasters, and outbreaks of infectious diseases, can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause the Fund to lose value. In addition, economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Exchanges and securities markets may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities, which may result in, among other things, the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities at an advantageous time or accurately price its portfolio investments. In addition, the Fund may rely on various third-party sources to calculate its net asset value. As a result, the Fund is subject to certain operational risks associated with reliance on service providers and service providers’ data sources. In particular, errors or systems failures and other technological issues may adversely impact the Fund’s calculations of its net asset value. Such net asset value calculation issues may result in inaccurately calculated net asset values, delays in net asset value calculations and/or the inability to calculate net asset values over extended periods. The Fund may be unable to recover any losses associated with such failures.
Management risk is the risk that the investment strategy or the Manager or the subadviser will not work as intended. All decisions by the Manager or the subadviser require judgment and are based on imperfect information. Similarly, there can be no assurance that methods utilized by the Manager or the subadviser, or related data sources, will always be available, and the loss of access to any such model(s) or data sources could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to realize its investment objective. Moreover, regulatory restrictions, actual or potential conflicts of interest or other considerations may cause the Manager or the subadviser to restrict or prohibit participation in certain investments. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.
Expense Risk. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund’s operating expense ratios may be higher than those shown if the Fund’s average net assets decrease, fee waivers or expense limitations change, or the Fund incurs more expenses than expected. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Active and frequent trading of Fund securities can increase expenses.
Regulatory Risk. The Fund is subject to a variety of laws and regulations which govern its operations. The Fund is subject to regulation by the SEC. Similarly, the businesses and other issuers of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests are also subject to considerable regulation. These laws and regulations are subject to change. Changes in laws and regulations may materially impact the Fund, a security, business, sector or market. For example, changes in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body may impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective, or may impact the Fund’s investment policies and/or strategies, or may reduce the attractiveness of an investment.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE & STRATEGIES
Investment Objective
The Fund's objective is growth of capital to an extent compatible with a concern for preservation of principal. Current income, if any, is incidental.
Investment Strategies
In an effort to meet its objective, the Fund invests primarily in common stock and other securities convertible into common stock. The Fund's portfolio managers seek to invest in medium to large companies that they believe possess sustainable, above-market growth in revenues, earnings, and cash flows and reasonable valuations, resulting in a portfolio that exhibits growth characteristics blended with valuations comparable to that of the market. They also look for stocks with characteristics such as strong market position, improving profitability and distinctive attributes such as unique marketing ability, strong research and development, new product flow and financial strength.
The Fund may also invest in American Depository Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are US dollar-denominated certificates issued by a United States bank or trust company. They represent the right to receive securities of a foreign issuer deposited in a domestic bank or foreign branch of a United States bank and traded on a United States exchange or in an over-the-counter market.
Investment in ADRs has certain advantages over direct investment in the underlying foreign securities. They are easily transferable, have readily available market quotations, and the foreign issuers are usually subject to comparable auditing, accounting and financial reporting standards as domestic issuers. Nevertheless, like foreign securities, ADRs involve certain risks. These risks include political or economic instability in the country of the issuer, the difficulty of predicting international trade patterns, and the fact that there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a domestic company.
The Fund may also invest in preferred stock, bonds, debenture notes and other evidences of indebtedness of a character customarily acquired by institutional investors. These investments may or may not be convertible into stock or accompanied by warrants or rights to acquire stock. These investments may or may not be publicly traded.
The Fund may also invest in money market instruments, such as short-term debt securities. The Fund usually invests only a moderate proportion of its assets in money market instruments to facilitate purchases and redemptions and portfolio trading.
The Fund may lend its securities and invest in warrants.
Although the Fund makes every effort to achieve its investment objective, there can be no guarantee of success and it is possible you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy of the Fund, meaning that the investment objective can be changed by the Fund’s Board of Directors without shareholder approval. The Fund is subject to certain investment restrictions that are fundamental policies, which means they cannot be changed without shareholder approval. For more information about these restrictions, see the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).
Temporary Defensive Investments. In response to adverse or unstable market, economic, political or other conditions, or to satisfy redemptions, the Fund may take a temporary defensive position and invest up to 100% of the Fund’s assets in money market instruments, including short-term obligations of, or securities guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities or in high-quality obligations of banks and corporations, repurchase agreements, or hold up to 100% of the Fund’s assets in cash, cash equivalents or shares of affiliated money market or short-term bond funds. Investing heavily in money market securities may limit the Fund’s ability to pursue or achieve its investment objective and could reduce the benefit to the Fund of any upswing in the market, but can help to preserve the value of the Fund’s assets when markets are unstable. The use of temporary defensive investments may be inconsistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
6

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as “portfolio turnover.” The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rate during past the past five fiscal years.
Illiquid Investments. The Fund may not acquire any “illiquid investment” if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. An “illiquid investment” is any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Illiquid investments include repurchase agreements with a notice or demand period of more than seven days, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments, and securities and other financial instruments that are not readily marketable, unless, based upon a review of the relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations, those investments are classified as liquid investments. The 10% limit is applied as of the date the Fund purchases an illiquid investment. It is possible that the Fund’s holdings of illiquid investments could exceed the 10% limit as a result of, for example, market developments (e.g., an increase in the value of the Fund’s illiquid holdings and/or a decrease in the value of the Fund’s liquid holdings) or redemptions. In such instances, the Fund must take steps to bring its illiquid investments to or below 10% of its net assets within a reasonable period of time.
The Fund may purchase certain restricted securities that can be resold to institutional investors and which may be classified as liquid investments pursuant to procedures adopted by the Fund. In many cases, those securities are traded in the institutional market under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

FUND MANAGEMENT
Manager & Subadviser
PGIM Investments LLC (PGIM Investments) serves as investment manager to the Fund. PGIM Investments is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential Financial). Neither Prudential Financial nor any of its subsidiaries are affiliated in any manner with Prudential plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. PGIM Investments is located at 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. PGIM Investments and its predecessors have served as manager and administrator to investment companies since 1987. As of December 31, 2019, PGIM Investments served as the investment manager to all of the Prudential US and offshore investment companies, and as manager or administrator to closed-end investment companies, with aggregate assets under management of $311.6 billion.
Under a management agreement with the Fund, PGIM Investments manages the Fund's investment operations and administers its business affairs. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 the Fund paid PGIM Investments management fees at the effective rate of 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Fund uses a multi-manager structure. Under this structure, PGIM Investments selects (with approval of the Fund’s independent directors) one or more subadvisers to handle the actual day-to-day investment management of the Fund. PGIM Investments monitors each subadviser’s performance through quantitative and qualitative analysis, and periodically reports to the Fund’s Board of Directors as to whether each subadviser’s agreement should be renewed, terminated or modified. PGIM Investments also is responsible for allocating assets among the subadvisers if a Fund has more than one subadviser. In those circumstances, the allocation for each subadviser can range from 0% to 100% of a Fund’s assets, and PGIM Investments can, in its sole discretion, change the allocations for any reason without prior notice and without Board or shareholder approval. Any such changes will be reflected in the next annual update to the prospectus. The Fund will notify Planholders of any new subadviser or any material changes to any existing subadvisory agreement.
PGIM Investments and the Fund have obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that permits PGIM Investments, subject to approval by the Board, to enter into and make material amendments to subadvisory agreements with non-affiliated subadvisers and with certain affiliated subadvisers with respect to the Fund, without obtaining shareholder approval. Pursuant to the exemptive order, PGIM Investments may change a Fund’s subadviser, subject to Board approval, without obtaining prior shareholder approval. This exemptive order (which is similar to exemptive orders granted to other investment companies that are organized in a manner similar to the Fund) is intended to facilitate the efficient supervision and management of the subadvisers by PGIM Investments and the Board.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s management and subadvisory agreements is available in the Fund’s semi-annual report to shareholders, dated June 30.
Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison) is the Fund's subadviser. Its address is 466 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services, supervises Jennison and pays Jennison for its services. As of December 31, 2019, Jennison managed in excess of $173.2 billion in assets. Jennison has served as an investment adviser since 1969.
PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
Blair A. Boyer and Kathleen A. McCarragher are the portfolio managers jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
Blair A. Boyer is a Managing Director, Co-Head of Large Cap Growth Equity and a large cap growth equity portfolio manager. He joined Jennison in March 1993 as an international equity analyst and joined the large cap growth team as a portfolio manager in 2003. Prior to joining Jennison, he managed international equity portfolios at Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder for five years. Prior to that, he was a research analyst and then a senior portfolio manager at Verus Capital. Mr. Boyer earned a BA in economics from Bucknell University and an MBA from The New York University Stern School of Business.

Ms. McCarragher earned a BBA, summa cum laude, in finance and economics from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
The portfolio managers for the Fund are supported by other Jennison portfolio managers, research analysts and investment professionals. Jennison typically follows a team approach in providing such support to the portfolio managers. The teams are generally organized along product strategies (e.g., large cap growth, large cap value) and meet regularly to review the portfolio holdings and discuss security purchase and sales activity of all accounts in the particular product strategy. Team members provide research support, make securities recommendations and support the portfolio managers in all activities. Members of the team may change from time to time.
The Statement of Additional Information (SAI) provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers' ownership of shares of the Fund. See Fund Management in the SAI.
On September 16, 2019, PGIM Investments, the investment manager for the Fund, and an affiliate, AST Investment Services, Inc. (ASTIS), reached a settlement with the SEC relating to certain former securities lending and foreign tax reclaim practices in connection with other funds that they manage. The practices do not relate to the Fund covered in this Prospectus. PGIM Investments and ASTIS self-reported the practices to the SEC, revised its procedures, and made restitution payments to the affected funds. Under the settlement, PGIM Investments and ASTIS agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not relate to the Fund or affect PGIM Investments’ ability to manage the Fund.

PURCHASE, REDEMPTION & PRICING OF FUND SHARES
Purchase
You may invest in the Fund only through the systematic investment plan contracts and the variable annuity contracts issued as part of Prudential's Financial Security Program and Prudential's Annuity Plan Account-2. The contracts are no longer sold. Planholders still owning contracts may make additional investments in accordance with their contract.
Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (PIMS) distributes the Fund's shares under a Distribution Agreement with the Fund.
Redemption
The Fund typically expects to pay redemption proceeds within three days after receipt of a proper notice of the redemption request. However, it may take the Fund up to seven days to pay redemption proceeds. There is no redemption charge. We may suspend the right to redeem shares or receive payment when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the Commission.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund typically expects to meet redemption requests by using cash or cash equivalents or proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities (or a combination of these methods). The Fund reserves the right to use borrowing arrangements that may be available from time to time. The use of borrowings in order to meet redemption requests is typically expected to be used only during stressed or abnormal market conditions, when an increased portion of the Fund’s holdings may be comprised of less liquid investments, or during emergency or temporary circumstances.
Pricing—Net Asset Value
Any purchase or sale of Fund shares is made at the net asset value, or NAV, of such shares. The price at which a purchase or redemption is made is based on the next calculation of the NAV after the order is received in good order. The NAV of the Fund is determined on each day the NYSE is open for trading as of the close of the exchange's regular trading session (which is generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption in NYSE trading as a closure of the NYSE and will price its shares as of 4:00 p.m. if the particular disruption directly affects only the NYSE.
The NYSE is closed on most national holidays and Good Friday.
The Fund does not price, and shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem, the Fund's shares on days when the NYSE is closed but the primary markets for the Fund's foreign securities are open, even though the value of these securities may have changed. Conversely, the Fund will ordinarily price its shares, and shareholders may purchase and redeem shares, on days that the NYSE is open but foreign securities markets are closed.
The securities held by the Fund are valued based upon market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available, at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund's Board of Directors. The Fund may use fair value pricing if it determines that a market quotation for a security is not reliable based, among other things, on events or market conditions that occur after the quotation is derived or after the closing of the primary market on which the security is traded, but before the time that the NAV is determined. This use of fair value pricing most commonly occurs with securities that are primarily traded outside of the U.S. because such securities present time-zone arbitrage opportunities when events or conditions affecting the prices of specific securities or the prices of securities traded in such markets generally occur after the close of the foreign markets but prior to the time that the Fund determines its NAV.
The Fund may also use fair value pricing with respect to U.S. traded securities if, for example, trading in a particular security is halted and does not resume before the Fund calculates its NAV or the exchange on which a security is traded closes early. In addition, fair value pricing is used for securities where the pricing agent or principal market
10

maker does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of PGIM Investments (or the subadviser) does not represent fair value. Different valuation methods may result in differing values for the same security. The fair value of a portfolio security that the Fund uses to determine its NAV may differ from the security's published or quoted price. If the Fund needs to implement fair value pricing after the NAV publishing deadline but before shares of the Fund are processed, the NAV you receive or pay may differ from the published NAV price. For purposes of computing the Fund's NAV, we will value the Fund's futures contracts 15 minutes after the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Except when we fair value securities, we normally value each foreign security held by the Fund as of the close of the security's primary market.
Fair value pricing procedures are designed to result in prices for the Fund's securities and its NAV that are reasonable in light of the circumstances which make or have made market quotations unavailable or unreliable, and to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders. There is no assurance, however, that fair value pricing will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day or that it will prevent dilution of the Fund's NAV by short-term traders.
The NAV for the Fund is determined by a simple calculation. It's the total value of the Fund (assets minus liabilities) divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
To determine the Fund's NAV, its holdings are valued as follows:
Equity Securities for which the primary market is on an exchange (whether domestic or foreign) shall be valued at the last sale price on such exchange or market on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices on such day or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities included within the NASDAQ market shall be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price (NOCP) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP issued, at the last sale price on such day. Securities included within the NASDAQ market for which there is no NOCP and no last sale price on the day of valuation shall be valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices on such day or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Equity securities that are not sold on an exchange or NASDAQ are generally valued by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker.
The Fund may own securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. Therefore, the value of the Fund's assets may change on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Short-term debt securities, including bonds, notes, debentures and other debt securities, and money market instruments such as certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances and obligations of domestic and foreign banks, with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker (if available, otherwise a primary market dealer).
Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost with interest accrued or discount amortized to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of PGIM Investments or the Fund’s subadviser, does not represent fair value.
Convertible debt securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed convertible debt securities for which the primary market is believed by PGIM Investments or the Fund’s subadviser, as available, to be over-the-counter, shall be valued at the mean between the last evaluated bid and asked price provided by an independent pricing agent or, in the absence of a valuation provided by an independent pricing agent on the day of valuation, at the bid price provided by a principal market maker (if available, or otherwise or primary market dealer).
Other debt securities—those that are not valued on an amortized cost basis—are valued using an independent pricing service. Options on stocks and stock indexes that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no such sale on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange.

OTHER INFORMATION
Dividends & Distributions
The Fund periodically distributes substantially all of its net investment income and its net realized capital gains in accordance with rules applicable to mutual funds. For Planholders, under most contracts, dividends and distributions are automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. Planholders under certain non-qualified contracts may choose to receive dividends and distributions in cash.
Federal Income Taxes
The federal income tax rules applicable to Planholders vary depending on the contract and whether a tax qualified plan is involved. You should consult with your plan sponsor or a qualified tax adviser for tax information applicable to you.
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to investment companies selling their shares to insurance company separate accounts. By meeting these requirements, Prudential—but not the variable contract owners—should be subject to tax on distributions by the Fund to the separate accounts. The Fund also intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and, as noted above, to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. The shareholders of the Fund are considered to be the separate accounts of Prudential which own shares of the Fund for the benefit of Planholders.
Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings
A description of the policies and procedures of the Fund with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio securities is described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund will provide a full list of its portfolio holdings as of the end of the fiscal quarter within 60 days after the end of their fiscal quarter on the website of the Commission at www.sec.gov.
Frequent Trading
The Fund is part of the group of investment companies advised by PGIM Investments that seeks to prevent patterns of frequent purchases and redemptions of shares by its investors (the PGIM Investments funds). Frequent purchases and redemptions may adversely affect performance and the interests of long-term investors. When an investor engages in frequent or short-term trading, the PGIM Investments funds may have to sell portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to pay the redemption amounts. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the PGIM Investments funds' performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, frequent trading can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because the PGIM Investments funds cannot predict how much cash they will have to invest. In addition, if a PGIM Investments fund is forced to liquidate investments due to short-term trading activity, it may incur increased brokerage and tax costs. Similarly, the PGIM Investments funds may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of short-term trading. Moreover, frequent or short-term trading by certain investors may cause dilution in the value of PGIM Investments fund shares held by other investors.
The Boards of Directors/Trustees of the PGIM Investments funds have adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage or prevent frequent trading by investors. Those policies and procedures have limited relevance for the Fund. First, the Fund has limited ability to monitor Planholder trading because Prudential maintains the individual Planholder accounts under the Financial Security Plan (FSP) and the Annuity Plan Account-2 (APA-2). In particular, Prudential submits to the Fund aggregate orders combining the transactions of many Planholders, and therefore the Gibraltar Fund cannot monitor investments by individual Planholders. Second, although Prudential has implemented monitoring procedures for frequent trading for some of its variable contracts, those procedures do not affect the Fund because the Fund serves as the sole investment option under FSP and APA-2. Therefore, investors in FSP and APA-2 are not provided within the Prudential program the ability to transfer among investment options. The Fund has entered into a shareholder information agreement with Prudential as required by Rule 22c-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under that agreement, Prudential has agreed to: (i) provide certain information regarding Planholders who engage in transactions involving Fund shares and (ii) execute any instructions from the Fund to
12

restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of the Fund shares by Planholders who have been identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions in Fund shares that violate the Fund's frequent trading policies and procedures. In addition the Fund and its transfer agent reserve the right to reject all or a portion of a purchase order from Prudential. If a purchase order is rejected, the purchase amount will be returned to Prudential.
Investors seeking to engage in frequent trading activities may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the efforts of the Fund and Prudential to prevent such trading, there is no guarantee that the Fund or Prudential will be able to identify these investors or curtail their trading practices. Therefore, it is possible that some Fund investors could engage in frequent trading, and, if they do, the other Fund investors would bear any harm caused by that frequent trading. The Fund does not have any arrangements intended to permit trading in contravention of the policies described above.

Fund Investments & Risks
MORE DETAILS ABOUT Fund Investments AND RISKS
The Fund’s investment strategies and corresponding risks, as identified in the prospectus, are discussed in more detail below. The Fund’s exposure to cyber security risk, foreign market disruption, and geopolitical risks is also discussed below.
SECURITIES LENDING. Unless otherwise noted, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions subject to applicable regulatory requirements and guidance, including the requirements that: (1) the aggregate market value of securities loaned will not at any time exceed 33 1/3% of the total assets of the Fund; (2) the borrower pledge and maintain with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government having at all times a value of not less than 100% of the value of the securities lent; and (3) the loan be made subject to termination by the Fund at any time. Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (GSAL) serves as securities lending agent for the Fund, and in that role administers the Fund’s securities lending program. For more information about GSAL, see the “Other Service Providers—Securities Lending Agent” section later in this SAI.
The Fund may invest the cash collateral and/or it may receive a fee from the borrower. To the extent that cash collateral is invested, it will be invested in an affiliated fund and be subject to market depreciation or appreciation. The Fund will be responsible for any loss that results from this investment of collateral.
On termination of the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities to the Fund, and any gain or loss in the market price during the loan would inure to the Fund. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities lent because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities lent or in gaining access to the collateral. In such situations, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund an amount equivalent to any dividend or interest paid on such securities. Voting or consent rights which accompany loaned securities pass to the borrower. However, all loans may be terminated at any time to facilitate the exercise of voting or other consent rights with respect to matters considered to be material. The Fund bears the risk that there may be a delay in the return of the securities which may impair the Fund’s ability to exercise such rights.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid investments. An “illiquid investment” is any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. In addition to the Fund’s 10% limit on illiquid investments, the Fund is subject to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4, the Fund may not acquire any “illiquid investment” if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. Illiquid investments include repurchase agreements with a notice or demand period of more than seven days, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments, and securities and other financial instruments that are not readily marketable, unless, based upon a review of the relevant market, trading and investment-specific considerations, those investments are classified as liquid investments.
The Fund has implemented a liquidity risk management program and related procedures to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4, and the Board has approved the designation of the Investment Manager to administer the Fund’s liquidity risk management program and related procedures. The limits on the Fund’s investments in illiquid investments are applied as of the date the Fund purchases an illiquid investment. It is possible that the Fund’s holdings of illiquid investments could exceed such a limitation, for example as a result of market developments or redemptions. In such instances, the Fund must take steps to bring its illiquid investments to or below the limitation threshold within a reasonable period of time.
The Fund may purchase certain restricted securities that can be resold to institutional investors and which may be classified as liquid investments pursuant to the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. In many cases, those securities are traded in the institutional market under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), and are called Rule 144A securities. Securities classified as liquid investments under these procedures are not subject to the limits on the Fund’s investment in illiquid investments.
Investments in illiquid investments involve more risks than investments in similar securities that are readily marketable. Illiquid investments may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments. Investment of the Fund’s assets in illiquid investments may restrict the ability of the Fund to dispose of its investments in a timely fashion and for a fair price, as well as its ability to take advantage of market opportunities. The risks associated with illiquidity will be particularly acute where the Fund’s operations require cash, such as when the Fund has net redemptions, and could result in the Fund borrowing to meet short-term cash requirements or incurring losses on the sale of illiquid investments.

    4

Illiquid investments are often restricted securities sold in private placement transactions between issuers and their purchasers and may be neither listed on an exchange nor traded in other established markets. In many cases, the privately placed securities may not be freely transferable under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or due to contractual restrictions on resale. To the extent privately placed securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from the sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than the fair value of the securities. In addition, issuers whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that may be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. If any privately placed securities held by the Fund are required to be registered under the securities laws of one or more jurisdictions before being resold, the Fund may be required to bear the expenses of registration. Private placement investments may involve investments in smaller, less seasoned issuers, which may involve greater risks than investments in more established companies. These issuers may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or they may be dependent on a limited management group. In making investments in private placement securities, the Fund may obtain access to material non-public information, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to conduct transactions in those securities.
WARRANTS. The Fund may invest in warrants or rights to acquire stock. The Fund will not purchase any such warrants or rights if, after giving effect to such purchase, the total cost to the Fund of all warrants and rights then held by it will exceed 3% of the value of Fund assets. Warrants are options to purchase securities at a specified price during a specified period of time. The risk associated with warrants is that the market price of the underlying stock will stay below the exercise price of the warrant during the exercise period. If this occurs, the warrant becomes worthless and the investor loses the money he or she paid for the warrant.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITION. The Fund may, at times, adopt a temporary defensive position in which it invests up to 100% of its assets in money market instruments, including short-term government and corporate debt obligations, commercial paper and bank obligations (such as certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers acceptances). When the Fund purchases money market securities, it may on occasion enter into a repurchase agreement with the seller wherein the seller and the buyer agree at the time of sale to a repurchase of the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The period of maturity is usually quite short, possibly overnight or a few days, although it may extend over a number of months. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price, reflecting an agreed upon market rate effective for the period of time the Fund's money is invested in the security, and is not related to the coupon rate of the purchase security. Repurchase agreements may be considered loans of money to the seller of the underlying security, which are collateralized by the securities underlying the repurchase agreement. The Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements unless the agreement is fully collateralized (i.e., the value of the securities is, and during the entire term of the agreement remains, at least equal to the amount of the loan including interest). The Fund will take possession of the securities underlying the agreement and will value them daily to assure that this condition is met. In the event that a seller defaults on a repurchase agreement, the Fund may incur loss in the market value of the collateral, as well as disposition costs; and, if a party with whom the Fund has entered into a repurchase agreement becomes involved in a bankruptcy proceeding, the Fund's ability to realize on the collateral may be limited or delayed and a loss may be incurred if the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines in value during the bankruptcy proceeding.
LIBOR AND OTHER REFERENCE RATES. The Fund’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, European Interbank Offer Rate (EURIBOR), Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (SONIA), and other similar types of reference rates (Reference Rates). The elimination of a Reference Rate or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of Reference Rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those Reference Rates. In addition, any substitute Reference Rate and any pricing adjustments imposed by a regulator or by counterparties or otherwise may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV.
CORONAVIRUS. A recent outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus was detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and has since spread internationally. The virus, named “SARS-CoV-2” (sometimes referred to as the “corona virus” and abbreviated as “COVID-19”) has resulted in disruptions to global markets, including through border closings, restrictions on travel, expedited and enhanced health screenings, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and reduced customer and client activity in multiple markets and sectors, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. The impact may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The value of the Fund or the securities in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19.
INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The Fund may invest in other investment companies including exchange traded Funds. In accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Fund generally may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of other investment companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act the Fund generally may not own more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment company, and not more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets

5

may be invested in securities of any investment company. Notwithstanding the limits discussed above, the Fund may invest in other investment companies without regard to the limits set forth above provided that the Fund complies with Rules 12d1-1, 12d1-2 and 12d1-3 promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act or otherwise permitted by exemptive order, SEC releases, no-action letters or similar interpretation.
As with other investments, investments in other investment companies are subject to market and selection risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares in investment companies, shareholders would bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of such investment companies (including management and advisory fees). Investments by the Fund in wholly owned investment entities created under the laws of certain countries will not be deemed an investment in other investment companies. The underlying investments in which the Fund invests may not meet their investment objectives.
In December 2018, the SEC issued a proposed rulemaking package related to investments in other investment vehicles that, if adopted, could require the Fund to adjust its investments accordingly. These adjustments may have an impact on the Fund’s performance and may have negative risk consequences on the investing Fund, as well as the underlying investment vehicles.
CYBER SECURITY RISK. With the increasing use of technology and computer systems in general and, in particular, the Internet to conduct necessary business functions, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. These risks, which are often collectively referred to as “cyber security” risks, may include deliberate or malicious attacks, as well as unintentional events and occurrences. Cyber security is generally defined as the technology, operations and related protocol surrounding and protecting a user’s computer hardware, network, systems and applications and the data transmitted and stored therewith. These measures ensure the reliability of a user’s systems, as well as the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data assets.
Deliberate cyber attacks can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to computer systems in order to misappropriate and/or disclose sensitive or confidential information; deleting, corrupting or modifying data; and causing operational disruptions. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (in order to prevent access to computer networks). In addition to deliberate breaches engineered by external actors, cyber security risks can also result from the conduct of malicious, exploited or careless insiders, whose actions may result in the destruction, release or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information stored on an organization’s systems.
Cyber security failures or breaches, whether deliberate or unintentional, arising from the Fund’s third-party service providers (e.g., custodians, financial intermediaries, transfer agents), subadviser, shareholder usage of unsecure systems to access personal accounts, as well as breaches suffered by the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, may cause significant disruptions in the business operations of the Fund. Potential impacts may include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses for the Fund and the issuers’ securities, the inability of shareholders to conduct transactions with the Fund, an inability of the Fund to calculate net asset value (NAV), and disclosures of personal or confidential shareholder information.
In addition to direct impacts on Fund shareholders, cyber security failures by the Fund and/or its service providers and others may result in regulatory inquiries, regulatory proceedings, regulatory and/or legal and litigation costs to the Fund, and reputational damage. The Fund may incur reimbursement and other expenses, including the costs of litigation and litigation settlements and additional compliance costs. The Fund may also incur considerable expenses in enhancing and upgrading computer systems and systems security following a cyber security failure.
The rapid proliferation of technologies, as well as the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, and others continue to pose new and significant cyber security threats. Although the Fund and its service providers and subadviser may have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate cyber security risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified or can be protected against. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control or assure the efficacy of the cyber security plans and systems implemented by third-party service providers, the subadviser, and the issuers in which the Fund invests.
FOREIGN MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISKS. International wars or conflicts and geopolitical developments in foreign countries, along with instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, possible terrorist attacks in the United States or around the world, public health epidemics such as the outbreak of infectious diseases like the recent outbreak of coronavirus in central China’s Hubei province and elsewhere globally or the 2014–2016 outbreak in West Africa of the Ebola virus, and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets and may cause further long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide generally.

Investment Restrictions
Listed below are certain fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund. They may not be changed without the vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities.
(1) The Fund does not underwrite the securities of other insurers, except where it may be deemed to be an “underwriter” for purposes of the 1933 Act, in connection with the registration and/or sale of any illiquid securities it holds.
(2) The Fund does not buy or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except that the Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and related options.
(3) The Fund does not purchase securities on margin; provided that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of transactions, and that the deposit or payment of money of initial or maintenance margin in connection with otherwise permissible futures or options is not considered the purchase of a security on margin.
(4) The Fund does not borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 13% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Reverse repurchase agreements are not considered borrowing for purposes of this restriction.
(5) The Fund does not issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act and rules thereunder or by SEC order, SEC release, no-action letter, or similar relief or interpretations. Collateral arrangements entered into by a Fund with respect to futures contracts or options and the writing of options are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security.

Jennison Associates LLC
COMPENSATION. Jennison seeks to maintain a highly competitive compensation program designed to attract and retain outstanding investment professionals, which include portfolio managers and research analysts, and to align the interests of its investment professionals with those of its clients and overall firm results. Jennison recognizes individuals for their achievements and contributions and continues to promote those who exemplify the same values and level of commitment that are hallmarks of the organization. Investment professionals are compensated with a combination of base salary and discretionary cash bonus.  Overall firm profitability determines the size of the investment professional compensation pool. In general, the discretionary cash bonus represents the majority of an investment professional’s compensation.  
Jennison sponsors a profit sharing retirement plan for all eligible employees. The contribution to the profit sharing retirement plan for portfolio managers is based on a percentage of the portfolio manager’s total compensation, subject to a maximum determined by applicable law. In addition to eligibility to participate in retirement and welfare plans, senior investment professionals, including portfolio managers and senior research analysts, are eligible to participate in a voluntary deferred compensation program where all or a portion of the discretionary cash bonus can be deferred. Participants in the deferred compensation plan are permitted to allocate the deferred amounts among various options that track the gross-of-fee pre-tax performance of accounts or composites of accounts managed by Jennison.
Investment professionals’ total compensation is determined through a subjective process that evaluates numerous qualitative and quantitative factors. Not all factors are applicable to every investment professional, and there is no particular weighting or formula for considering the factors. 
The factors reviewed for the portfolio managers are listed below.
The quantitative factors reviewed for the portfolio managers may include:
One-, three-, five-year and longer term pre-tax investment performance for groupings of accounts managed in the same strategy (composite) relative to market conditions, pre-determined passive indices and industry peer group data for the product strategy (e.g., large cap growth, large cap value). Some portfolio managers may manage or contribute ideas to more than one product strategy, and the performance of the other product strategies is also considered in determining the portfolio manager’s overall compensation.
The investment professional’s contribution to client portfolio’s pre-tax one-, three-, five-year and longer-term performance from the investment professional’s recommended stocks relative to market conditions, the strategy’s passive benchmarks, and the investment professional’s respective coverage universes.
The qualitative factors reviewed for the portfolio managers may include:
The quality of the portfolio manager’s investment ideas and consistency of the portfolio manager’s judgment;
Qualitative factors such as teamwork and responsiveness;
Individual factors such as years of experience and responsibilities specific to the individual’s role such as being a team leader or supervisor are also factored into the determination of an investment professional’s total compensation; and
Historical and long-term business potential of the product strategies.

Potential Conflicts of Interest
Jennison manages accounts with asset-based fees alongside accounts with performance-based fees. This side-by-side management can create an incentive for Jennison and its investment professionals to favor one account over another. Specifically, Jennison has the incentive to favor accounts for which it receives performance fees, and possibly take greater investment risks in those accounts, in order to bolster performance and increase its fees.
Other types of side-by-side management of multiple accounts can also create incentives for Jennison to favor one account over another. Examples are detailed below, followed by a discussion of how Jennison addresses these conflicts.
Long only accounts/long-short accounts: Jennison manages accounts in strategies that only hold long securities positions as well as accounts in strategies that are permitted to sell securities short. Jennison may hold a long position in a security in some client accounts while selling the same security short in other client accounts. For example, Jennison permits quantitatively hedged strategies to short securities that are held long in other strategies. Additionally, Jennison permits securities that are held long in quantitatively derived strategies to be shorted by other strategies. The strategies that sell a security short held long by another strategy could lower the price for the security held long. Similarly, if a strategy is purchasing a security that is held short in other strategies, the strategies purchasing the security could increase the price of the security held short.
Large accounts: Large accounts typically generate more revenue than do smaller accounts. As a result, a portfolio manager has an incentive when allocating scarce investment opportunities to favor accounts that pay a higher fee or generate more income for Jennison.
Multiple strategies: Jennison may buy or sell, or may direct or recommend that one client buy or sell, securities of the same kind or class that are purchased or sold for another client, at prices that may be different. Jennison may also, at any time, execute trades of securities of the same kind or class in one direction for an account and in the opposite direction for another account, due to differences in investment strategy or client direction. Different strategies effecting trading in the same securities or types of securities may appear as inconsistencies in Jennison’s management of multiple accounts side-by-side.
Investments at different levels of an issuer’s capital structure: To the extent different clients invest across multiple strategies or asset classes, Jennison may invest client assets in the same issuer, but at different levels in the capital structure. Interests in these positions could be inconsistent or in potential or actual conflict with each other.
Affiliated accounts/unaffiliated accounts and seeded/nonseeded accounts and accounts receiving asset allocation assets from affiliated investment advisers: Jennison manages accounts for its affiliates and accounts in which it has an interest alongside unaffiliated accounts. Jennison could have an incentive to favor its affiliated accounts over unaffiliated accounts. Additionally, Jennison’s affiliates may provide initial funding or otherwise invest in vehicles managed by Jennison. When an affiliate provides “seed capital” or other capital for a fund or account, it may do so with the intention of redeeming all or part of its interest at a particular future point in time or when it deems that sufficient additional capital has been invested in that fund or account. Jennison typically requests seed capital to start a track record for a new strategy or product. Managing “seeded” accounts alongside “non-seeded” accounts can create an incentive to favor the “seeded” accounts to establish a track record for a new strategy or product. Additionally, Jennison’s affiliated investment advisers could allocate their asset allocation clients’ assets to Jennison. Jennison could favor accounts used by its affiliate for their asset allocation clients to receive more assets from the affiliate.
Non-discretionary accounts or models: Jennison provides non-discretionary model portfolios to some clients and manages other portfolios on a discretionary basis. Recommendations for some non-discretionary models that are derived from discretionary portfolios are communicated after the discretionary portfolio has traded. The non-discretionary clients could be disadvantaged if Jennison delivers the model investment portfolio to them after Jennison initiates trading for the discretionary clients. Discretionary clients could be disadvantaged if the non-discretionary clients receive their model investment portfolio and start trading before Jennison has started trading for the discretionary clients.
Higher fee paying accounts or products or strategies: Jennison receives more revenues from (1) larger accounts or client relationships than smaller accounts or client relationships and from (2) managing discretionary accounts than advising nondiscretionary models and from (3) non-wrap fee accounts than from wrap fee accounts and from (4) charging higher fees for some strategies than others. The differences in revenue that Jennison receives could create an incentive for Jennison to favor the higher fee paying or higher revenue generating account or product or strategy over another.

9

Personal interests: The performance of one or more accounts managed by Jennison’s investment professionals is taken into consideration in determining their compensation. Jennison also manages accounts that are investment options in its employee benefit plans such as its defined contribution plans or deferred compensation arrangements and where its employees may have personally invested alongside other accounts where there is no personal interest. These factors could create an incentive for Jennison to favor the accounts where it has a personal interest over accounts where Jennison does not have a personal interest.
How Jennison Addresses These Conflicts of Interest
The conflicts of interest described above could create incentives for Jennison to favor one or more accounts or types of accounts over others in the allocation of investment opportunities, aggregation and timing of investments. Portfolios in a particular strategy with similar objectives are managed similarly to the extent possible. Accordingly, portfolio holdings and industry and sector exposure tend to be similar across a group of accounts in a strategy that have similar objectives, which tends to minimize the potential for conflicts of interest among accounts within a product strategy. While these accounts have many similarities, the investment performance of each account will be different primarily due to differences in guidelines, individual portfolio manager’s decisions, timing of investments, fees, expenses and cash flows.
Additionally, Jennison has developed policies and procedures that seek to address, mitigate and assess these conflicts of interest. Jennison cannot guarantee, however, that its policies and procedures will detect and prevent, or lead to the disclosure of, each and every situation in which a conflict may arise.
Jennison has adopted trade aggregation and allocation procedures that seek to treat all clients (including affiliated accounts) fairly. These policies and procedures address the allocation of limited investment opportunities, such as initial public offerings (IPOs) and new issues, the allocation of transactions across multiple accounts, and the timing of transactions between its non-wrap accounts and its wrap fee accounts and between wrap fee program sponsors.
Jennison has policies that limit the ability to short securities in portfolios that primarily rely on its fundamental research and investment processes (fundamental portfolios) if the security is held long in other fundamental portfolios.
Jennison has adopted procedures to review allocations or performance dispersion between accounts with performance fees and non-performance fee based accounts and to review overlapping long and short positions among long accounts and long-short accounts.
Jennison has adopted a code of ethics and policies relating to personal trading.
Jennison has adopted a conflicts of interest policy and procedures.
Jennison provides disclosure of these and other potential conflicts in its Form ADV.

(a) Excludes Mr. Cronin, an Interested Trustee who also serves as President and Principal Executive Officer.
Explanatory Notes to Tables:
Trustees are deemed to be “Interested,” as defined in the 1940 Act, by reason of their affiliation with PGIM Investments and/or an affiliate of PGIM Investments. Timothy Cronin is an Interested Trustee because he is employed by an affiliate of the Investment Manager of the Trust.
Unless otherwise noted, the address of all Trustees and Officers is c/o PGIM Investments, 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102.
There is no set term of office for Trustees or Officers. The Independent Trustees have adopted a retirement policy, which calls for the retirement of Trustees on December 31 of the year in which they reach the age of 78, provided that the Board may extend the retirement age on a year-by-year basis for a Trustee.
“Other Directorships Held” includes all directorships of companies required to register or file reports with the SEC under the 1934 Act (that is, “public companies”) or other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act.
“No. of Portfolios Overseen” includes all investment companies managed by PGIM Investments and/or AST Investment Services, Inc. (ASTIS) that are overseen by the Trustee. The investment companies for which PGIM Investments and/or ASTIS serves as manager include The Prudential Variable Contract Accounts, The Prudential Series Fund, Advanced Series Trust, Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc., the PGIM Funds, PGIM High Yield Bond Fund, Inc. and PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.
COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS. Pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Trust, the Investment Manager pays all compensation of Trustees, officers and employees of the Trust, other than the fees and expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Investment Manager or any Subadviser (Independent Trustees). The Trust pays each of its Independent Trustees annual compensation in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses. Trustees who serve on Board Committees may receive additional compensation.
Independent Trustees may defer receipt of their compensation pursuant to a deferred fee agreement with the Trust. Under the terms of the agreement, the Trust accrues deferred Trustees' compensation daily which, in turn, accrue interest at a rate equivalent to the prevailing rate to 90-day US Treasury Bills at the beginning of each calendar quarter or, at the daily rate of return of one or more funds managed by the Investment Manager chosen by the Trustee. Payment of the interest so accrued is also deferred and becomes payable at the option of the Trustee. The Trust's obligation to make payments of deferred Trustees' compensation, together with interest thereon, is a general obligation of the Trust. The Trust does not have a retirement or pension plan for its Trustees.
The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation paid by the Trust for the Trust's most recently completed fiscal year to the Independent Trustees for service on the Trust's Board, and the Board of any other investment company in the Fund Complex for the most recently completed calendar year. Trustees and officers who are “interested persons” of the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) do not receive compensation from the Fund Complex.

Investment Review and Risk Committee (IRRC). The IRRC consists of all members of the Board and is chaired by Ms. Bibliowicz. Ms. Barrat and Ms. Booth serve as Vice Chairs of the IRRC. The Board created the IRRC to help the Board in reviewing certain types of risk, especially those risks related to portfolio investments, the subadvisers for the Portfolios and other related risks. The responsibilities of the IRRC include, but are not limited to: reviewing written materials and reports pertaining to Portfolio performance, investments and risk from subadvisers, the Strategic Investment Review Group (SIRG) of PGIM Investments and others; considering presentations from subadvisers, the Investment Manager, SIRG or other service providers on matters relating to Portfolio performance, investments and risk; and periodically reviewing management’s evaluation of various types of risks to the Portfolios.
LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The Board is responsible for oversight of the Trust. The Trust has engaged the Investment Manager to manage the Trust on a day-to-day basis. The Board oversees the Investment Manager and certain other principal service providers in the operations of the Trust. The Board is currently composed of nine members, eight of whom are Independent Trustees. The Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings twelve times throughout the year. In addition, the Board Members may meet in-person or by telephone at special meetings. As described above, the Board has established four standing committees—Audit, Compliance, Governance, and Investment Review and Risk—and may establish ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Independent Trustees have also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities.
The Board is chaired by an Independent Trustee. As Chair, this Independent Trustee leads the Board in its activities. Also, the Chair acts as a member or an ex-officio member of each standing committee and any ad hoc committee of the Board. The Trustees have determined that the Board's leadership and committee structure is appropriate because the Board believes it sets the proper tone to the relationships between the Trust, on the one hand, and the Investment Manager, the subadviser(s) and certain other principal service providers, on the other, and facilitates the exercise of the Board's independent judgment in evaluating and managing the relationships. In addition, the structure efficiently allocates responsibility among committees.
The Board has concluded that, based on each Trustee's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees, each Trustee should serve as a Trustee. Among other attributes common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the various service providers to the Trust, and to exercise reasonable business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees. In addition, the Board has taken into account the actual service and commitment of the Trustees during their tenure in concluding that each should continue to serve. A Trustee's ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through a Trustee's educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a Trustee of the Trust, other funds in the Fund Complex, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; or other experiences. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience qualifications, attributes or skills of each Trustee that led the Board to conclude that he or she should serve as a Trustee.
Susan Davenport Austin. Ms. Austin currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of Grace Church. In addition to her experience in senior leadership positions with private companies, Ms. Austin has more than 10 years of experience in the investment banking industry, and has experience serving on boards of other public companies and non-profit entities.
Sherry S. Barrat. Ms. Barrat has more than 35 years of experience in senior leadership positions in the financial services and banking industries. In addition, Ms. Barrat has over 10 years of experience serving on boards of other public companies and non-profit entities.
Jessica M. Bibliowicz. Ms. Bibliowicz has more than 25 years of experience in senior leadership positions in the financial services and investment management industries.

    16

Robert F. Gunia. Mr. Gunia has served for more than 10 years as a Trustee of mutual funds advised by the Investment Manager or its predecessors. In addition, Mr. Gunia served in senior leadership positions for more than 28 years with the Investment Manager and its affiliates and predecessors.
Thomas T. Mooney. Mr. Mooney has served for more than 10 years as a Trustee of mutual funds advised by the Investment Manager or its predecessors, including some or all of the following funds: Advanced Series Trust, The Prudential Series Fund, Prudential’s Gibraltar Fund, Inc., and/or other mutual funds advised by the Investment Manager or its predecessors. Mr. Mooney has more than 30 years of experience in senior leadership positions with municipal organizations and other companies and has experience serving on the boards of other entities.

Specific details about each Trustee's professional experience is set forth in the professional biography tables, above.
Risk Oversight. Investing in general and the operation of a mutual fund involve a variety of risks, such as investment risk, liquidity risk, compliance risk, and operational risk, among others. The Board oversees risk as part of its oversight of the Trust. Risk oversight is addressed as part of various regular Board and committee activities. The Board, directly or through its committees, reviews reports from among others, the Investment Manager, the administrator to the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program, sub-advisers, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, counsel, and internal auditors of the Investment Manager or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Trust and the risk management programs of the Investment Manager and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management with respect to the Trust resides with the Investment Manager and other service providers to the Trust, including pursuant to the Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program for the Trust. Although the risk management policies of the Investment Manager and the service providers are designed to be effective, those policies and their implementation vary among service providers and over time, and there is no guarantee that they will be effective. Not all risks that may affect the Trust can be identified or processes and controls developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and some risks are simply beyond any control of the Trust or the Investment Manager, its affiliates or other service providers.
Selection of Trustee Nominees. The Governance Committee is responsible for considering trustee nominees for Trustees at such times as it considers electing new members to the Board. The Governance Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members, and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and will also consider shareholder recommendations. The Governance Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee. In evaluating nominees, the Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Governance Committee also considers whether the individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the diversity of the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for the Board based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder.
A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director for nomination should submit his or her recommendation in writing to the Chair of the Board (Thomas T. Mooney) or the Chair of the Governance Committee (Susan Davenport Austin), in either case in care of the Trust, at 655 Broad Street, 17th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102. At a minimum, the recommendation should include: the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act; any other information that the Trust would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation, together with the number of shares held by such person and the period for which the shares have been held. The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Governance Committee in evaluating the recommendation.

17

Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Prudential Financial, Inc. (the parent company of the Trust's Investment Manager) would be deemed an “interested person” under the 1940 Act. In addition, certain other relationships with Prudential Financial, Inc. or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Trust's outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.” Before the Governance Committee decides to nominate an individual to the Board, Committee members and other Board members customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving on the board of a registered investment company.
Shareholder Communications with the Board of Trustees. Shareholders of the Trust can communicate directly with the Board by writing to the Chair of the Board, c/o the Trust, 1 Corporate Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484. Shareholders can communicate directly with an individual Trustee by writing to that Trustee, c/o the Trust, 1 Corporate Drive, Shelton, Connecticut 06484.

OTHER INFORMATION
Brokerage Allocation & Other Practices
The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to which the Fund and its Investment Manager, subadviser, and principal underwriter are prohibited from directly or indirectly compensating a broker-dealer for promoting or selling Fund shares by directing brokerage transactions to that broker. The Fund has adopted procedures for the purpose of deterring and detecting any violations of the policy. The policy permits the Fund, the Investment Manager, and the subadviser to use selling brokers to execute transactions in portfolio securities so long as the selection of such selling brokers is the result of a decision that executing such transactions is in the best interest of the Fund and is not influenced by considerations about the sale of Fund shares.
The Investment Manager is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities, futures contracts and options on such securities and futures for the Fund, the selection of brokers, dealers and futures commission merchants to effect the transactions and the negotiation of brokerage commissions, if any. On a national securities exchange, broker-dealers may receive negotiated brokerage commissions on Fund portfolio transactions, including options, futures, and options on futures transactions and the purchase and sale of underlying securities upon the exercise of options. On a foreign securities exchange, commissions may be fixed. For purposes of this section, the term “Investment Manager” includes the investment subadviser. Orders may be directed to any broker or futures commission merchant including, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable laws, affiliates of the Investment Manager and/or subadviser (an affiliated broker). Brokerage commissions on U.S. securities, options and futures exchanges or boards of trade are subject to negotiation between the Investment Manager and the broker or futures commission merchant.
In the over-the-counter market, securities are generally traded on a “net” basis with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission, although the price of the security usually includes a profit to the dealer. In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount. On occasion, certain money market instruments and U.S. government agency securities may be purchased directly from the issuer, in which case no commissions or discounts are paid. The Fund will not deal with an affiliated broker in any transaction in which an affiliated broker acts as principal except in accordance with the rules of the SEC.
In placing orders for portfolio securities of the Fund, the Investment Manager’s overriding objective is to obtain the best possible combination of favorable price and efficient execution. The Investment Manager seeks to effect such transaction at a price and commission that provides the most favorable total cost of proceeds reasonably attainable in the circumstances. The factors that the Investment Manager may consider in selecting a particular broker, dealer or futures commission merchant (firms) are the Investment Manager's knowledge of negotiated commission rates currently available and other current transaction costs; the nature of the portfolio transaction; the size of the transaction; the desired timing of the trade; the activity existing and expected in the market for the particular transaction; confidentiality; the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities of the firms; the availability of research and research related services provided through such firms; the Investment Manager's knowledge of the financial stability of the firms; the Investment Manager's knowledge of actual or apparent operational problems of firms; and the amount of capital, if any, that would be contributed by firms executing the transaction. Given these factors, the Fund may pay transaction costs in excess of that which another firm might have charged for effecting the same transaction.
When the Investment Manager selects a firm that executes orders or is a party to portfolio transactions, relevant factors taken into consideration are whether that firm has furnished research and research-related products and/or services, such as research reports, research compilations, statistical and economic data, computer data bases, quotation equipment and services, research-oriented computer software, hardware and services, reports concerning the performance of accounts, valuations of securities, investment related periodicals, investment seminars and other economic services and consultations. Such services are used in connection with some or all of the Investment Manager's investment activities; some of such services, obtained in connection with the execution of transactions for one investment account, may be used in managing other accounts, and not all of these services may be used in connection with the Fund. The Investment Manager maintains an internal allocation procedure to identify those firms who have provided it with research and research-related products and/or services, and the amount that was provided, and to endeavor to direct sufficient commissions to them to ensure the continued receipt of those services that the Investment Manager believes provide a benefit to the Fund and its other clients. The Investment Manager makes a good faith determination that the research and/or service is reasonable in light of the type of service provided and the price and execution of the related portfolio transactions.
When the Investment Manager deems the purchase or sale of equities to be in the best interests of the Fund or its other clients, including Prudential, the Investment Manager may, but is under no obligation to, aggregate the transactions in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the transactions, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Investment Manager in the manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to its clients. The allocation of orders among firms and the commission rates paid are reviewed

    24

periodically by the Fund's Board. Portfolio securities may not be purchased from any underwriting or selling syndicate of which any affiliated broker, during the existence of the syndicate, is a principal underwriter (as defined in the 1940 Act), except in accordance with rules of the SEC. This limitation, in the opinion of the Fund, will not significantly affect the Fund's ability to pursue its present investment objective. However, in the future in other circumstances, the Fund may be at a disadvantage because of this limitation in comparison to other funds with similar objectives but not subject to such limitations.
Subject to the above considerations, an affiliated broker may act as a broker or futures commission merchant for the Fund. In order for an affiliated broker to effect any portfolio transactions for the Fund, the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by the affiliated broker must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to other firms in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities or futures being purchased or sold on an exchange or board of trade during a comparable period of time. This standard would allow the affiliated broker to receive no more than the remuneration which would be expected to be received by an unaffiliated firm in a commensurate arm's-length transaction. Furthermore, the Board of the Fund, including a majority of the non-interested Board Members, have adopted procedures which are reasonably designed to provide that any commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to the affiliated broker (or any affiliate) are consistent with the foregoing standard. In accordance with Section 11(a) of the 1934 Act, an affiliated broker may not retain compensation for effecting transactions on a national securities exchange for the Fund unless the Fund has expressly authorized the retention of such compensation. The affiliated broker must furnish to the Fund at least annually a statement setting forth the total amount of all compensation retained by it from transactions effected for the Fund during the applicable period. Brokerage transactions with an affiliated broker are also subject to such fiduciary standards as may be imposed upon the broker by applicable law. Transactions in options by the Fund will be subject to limitations established by each of the exchanges governing the maximum number of options which may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, regardless of whether the options are written or held on the same or different exchanges or are written or held in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options which the Fund may write or hold may be affected by options written or held by the Investment Manager and other investment advisory clients of the Investment Manager. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in excess of these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.
The tables below set forth information concerning the payment of brokerage commissions by the Fund, including the amount of brokerage commissions paid to any affiliated broker for the three most recently completed fiscal years:
Brokerage Commissions Paid by the Fund      
  2019 2018 2017
Total brokerage commissions paid by the Fund $22,204 $23,542 $19,211
Code of Ethics
The Board of the Fund has approved Codes of Ethics for the Fund, Jennison, PGIM Investments and PIMS. The Codes permit personnel subject to the Codes to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. However, the protective provisions of the Codes prohibit certain investments and limit such personnel from making investments during periods when the Fund is making such investments. The Codes are on public file with, and are available from, the SEC.
Taxation of the Fund
The Fund intends to qualify under Subchapter M of the Code. In any year in which the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains, the Fund generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes to shareholders such income and capital gains in the manner required under the Code. If the Fund does not qualify under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund will be subject to Federal income tax.
To comply with regulations under Section 817(h) of the Code which contains certain diversification requirements, the Fund will be required to diversify its investments so that on the last day of each quarter of a calendar year, no more than 55% of the value of its assets is represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no more than 90% is represented by any four investments. Generally, securities of a single issuer are treated as one investment and obligations of each U.S. Government agency and instrumentality (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae)) are treated for purposes of Section 817(h) as issued by separate issuers. In addition, any security issued, guaranteed or insured (to the extent so guaranteed or insured) by the U.S. or an instrumentality of the U.S. will be treated as a security issued by the U.S. Government or its instrumentality, whichever is applicable.
As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards.

Proxy Voting Policies & Recordkeeping Procedures
The Board has delegated to PGIM Investments, as the Fund’s Investment Manager, the responsibility for voting any proxies and maintaining proxy recordkeeping with respect to the Fund. The Fund authorizes the Investment Manager to delegate, in whole or in part, its proxy voting authority to its investment advisers (subadvisers) or third party vendors, consistent with the policies set forth below. The proxy voting process shall remain subject to the supervision of the Board, including any Committee thereof established for that purpose.
The Investment Manager and the Board view the proxy voting process as a component of the investment process and, as such, seek to ensure that all proxy proposals are voted with the primary goal of seeking the optimal benefit for the Fund. Consistent with this goal, the Board views the proxy voting process as a means to encourage strong corporate governance practices and ethical conduct by corporate management. The Investment Manager and the Board maintain a policy of seeking to protect the best interests of the Fund should a proxy issue potentially implicate a conflict of interest between the Fund and the Investment Manager or its affiliates.
The Investment Manager delegates to the Fund's Subadviser the responsibility for voting proxies. The Subadviser is expected to identify and seek to obtain the optimal benefit for the Fund, and to adopt written policies that meet certain minimum standards, including that the policies be reasonably designed to protect the best interests of the Fund and to delineate procedures to be followed when a proxy vote presents a conflict between the interests of the Fund and the interests of the Subadviser or its affiliates. The Investment Manager expects that the Subadviser will notify the Investment Manager at least annually of any such conflicts identified and confirm how the issue was resolved. In addition, the Investment Manager expects that the Subadviser will deliver to the Investment Manager, or its appointed vendor, information required for the filing of Form N-PX with the SEC.
Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available on the Internet on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. A summary of the proxy voting policy of the Subadviser to the Fund is set forth below:
JENNISON ASSOCIATES LLC PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES
I. Policy
Jennison (or the “Company”) has adopted the following policy and related procedures to guide the voting of proxies in a manner that is consistent with Jennison’s fiduciary duties and the requirements of Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act.
In the absence of any written delegation or when proxy voting authority has been delegated in writing to Jennison by clients, Jennison will exercise this voting authority in each client’s best interests. The Company will not consider its own interests, or those of any affiliates, when voting proxies.
Unless otherwise specified by a client, “best interest” means the client’s best economic interest over the long term, as determined by Jennison’s portfolio managers and analysts (“Investment Professionals”) covering the issuer. Secondary consideration may be given to the public and social value of each issue, but absent specific client instructions, long term economic interests will be the primary basis for voting.
Jennison will disclose information about its proxy voting policies and procedures to clients, and will provide a copy of these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures upon request. The Company will also inform clients how they may obtain information about the votes cast on their behalf.
II. Procedures
Proxy Voting Guidelines
Jennison has adopted proxy voting guidelines (“Guidelines”) with respect to certain recurring issues. When Jennison is responsible for voting proxies, Jennison considers these guidelines except when Jennison accepts custom guidelines.
The Guidelines are reviewed as necessary by the Company’s Proxy Voting Committee and Investment Professionals, and are revised when a change is appropriate. The Proxy Team maintains the Guidelines and distributes copies to the Investment Professionals following any change. The Guidelines are meant to convey Jennison’s general approach to voting decisions on certain issues. Nevertheless, Investment Professionals are responsible for reviewing all proposals related to fundamental strategies individually and making final decisions based on the merits of each voting opportunity.
If an Investment Professional believes that Jennison should vote in a way that is different from the Guidelines, the Proxy Team is notified. In certain circumstances, an Investment Professional may conclude that different clients should vote in different ways, or that it is in the best interests of some or all clients to abstain from voting.

    26

The Proxy Team is responsible for maintaining Investment Professionals’ reasons for deviating from the Guidelines.
Client-Specific Voting Mandates
Any client’s specific voting instructions must be communicated or confirmed by the client in writing, either through a provision in the investment advisory contract or through other written correspondence. Such instructions may call for Jennison to vote the client’s securities according to the client’s own voting guidelines, or may indicate that the Company is not responsible for voting the client’s proxies.
The Proxy Team reviews client specific voting instructions and approves operational implementation, and certain instructions may only be implemented on a best efforts basis. The Proxy Team is responsible for communicating such instructions to the third party vendor.
Use of a Third Party Voting Service
Jennison has engaged an independent third party proxy voting vendor that provides research and analytical services, operational implementation and recordkeeping and reporting services. The proxy voting vendor will cast votes in accordance with the Company’s Guidelines, unless instructed otherwise by the Investment Professionals.
Identifying and Addressing Potential Material Conflicts of Interest
There may be instances where Jennison’s interests conflict materially, or appear to conflict materially, with the interests of clients in connection with a proxy vote (a “Material Conflict”). Examples of potential Material Conflicts include, but are not limited to:
Jennison managing the pension plan of the issuer.
Jennison or its affiliates have a material business relationship with the issuer.
Jennison investment professionals who are related to a person who is senior management or a director at a public company.
If an Investment Professional or any other employee perceives a Material Conflict, he or she must promptly report the matter to the Chief Compliance Officer.
When a potential conflict has been identified, the Proxy Team will work with the Investment Professional covering the issuer to complete a Proxy Voting for Conflicts Documentation Form. The Proxy Team is responsible for retaining completed Proxy Voting for Conflicts Documentation Forms.
If the Proxy Voting Committee determines that a Material Conflict is present and if the Investment Professional is recommending a vote that deviates from the Guidelines or there is no specific recommended Guideline vote and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, then the voting decision must be reviewed and approved by the Investment Professional’s supervisor and the Proxy Committee prior to casting the vote.
Jennison will not abstain from voting a proxy for the purpose of avoiding a Material Conflict.
Quantitatively Derived Holdings and the Jennison Managed Accounts
In voting proxies for non-fundamental strategies such as quantitatively derived holdings and Jennison Managed Accounts (i.e. “wrap”) where the securities are not held elsewhere in the firm, proxies will be voted utilizing the Guidelines. Additionally, in those circumstances where no specific Guidelines exist, the Company will consider the recommendations of the proxy voting vendor.
International Holdings
Jennison will exercise opportunities to vote on international holdings on a best efforts basis. Such votes will be cast based on the same principles that govern domestic holdings.
In some countries casting a proxy vote can adversely affect a client, such as countries that restrict stock sales around the time of the proxy vote by requiring “share blocking” as part of the voting process. The Investment Professional covering the issuer will weigh the expected benefits of voting proxies on international holdings against any anticipated costs or limitations, such as those associated with share blocking. Jennison may abstain from voting if it anticipates that the costs or limitations associated with voting outweigh the benefits.

27

Securities Lending
Jennison may be unable to vote proxies when the underlying securities have been lent out pursuant to a client’s securities lending program. The Company does not know when securities are on loan and are therefore not available to be voted. In rare circumstances, Investment Professionals may ask the Proxy Team to work with the client’s custodian to recall the shares so that Jennison can vote. Efforts to recall loaned securities are not always effective since such requests must be submitted prior to the record date for the upcoming proxy vote; therefore voting shares on loan is on a best efforts basis. In determining whether to call back securities that are out on loan, the Investment Professional will consider whether the benefit to the client in voting the matter outweighs the benefit to the client in keeping the security out on loan.
Disclosure to Advisory Clients
Jennison will provide a copy of these Policies and Procedures and the Guidelines to any client upon request. The Company will also provide any client with information about how Jennison has voted that client’s proxies upon request. Any such requests should be forwarded to the Proxy Team, which is responsible for responding, and for documenting the correspondence.
Compliance Reporting for Investment Companies
Upon request, the Proxy Team will provide to each investment company board of directors or trustees for which Jennison acts as sub-adviser reporting needed to satisfy their regulatory and board requirements, including, but not limited to, information required for Form NP-X.
III. Internal Controls
Supervisory Review
The Proxy Team periodically notifies each Investment Professional’s supervisor of any Guideline overrides authorized by that Investment Professional. The supervisor reviews the overrides to confirm that they appear to have been made based on clients’ best interests, and that they were not influenced by any Material Conflict or other considerations.
The Proxy Voting Committee
The Proxy Voting Committee consists of representatives from Operations, Operational Risk, Legal, and Compliance. It meets at least quarterly, and has the following responsibilities:
Review potential Material Conflicts and decide whether a material conflict is present, and needs to be addressed according to these policies and procedures.
Review the Guidelines in consultation with the Investment Professionals and make revisions as appropriate.
Review these Policies and Procedures annually for accuracy and effectiveness, and recommend and adopt any necessary changes.
Review all Guideline overrides.
Review quarterly voting metrics and analysis published by the Proxy Team.
Review the performance of the proxy voting vendor and determine whether Jennison should continue to retain their services.
Equity Trade Management Oversight Committee (“ETMOC”)
The ETMOC reviews all Guideline overrides on a quarterly basis to ensure proper override procedures were followed. The ETMOC also reviews any changes to the Guidelines. The ETMOC is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Head of Trading and the Head of Large Cap Growth.
IV. Escalating Concerns
Any concerns about aspects of the policy that lack specific escalation guidance may be reported to the reporting employee’s supervisor, the Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Ethics Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer. Alternatively Jennison has an Ethics Reporting Hotline phone number and email address that enable employees to raise concerns anonymously. Information about the Ethics Reporting Hotline phone number and email address can be found on the Jennison intranet’s “Ethics” web page.
V. Discipline and Sanctions

    28

All Jennison employees are responsible for understanding and complying with the policies and procedures outlined in this policy. The procedures described in this policy are intended to ensure that Jennison and its employees act in full compliance with the law. Violations of this policy and related procedures will be communicated to your supervisor and to senior management through Jennison’s Compliance Council, and may lead to disciplinary action.
Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings
The Board of each fund in the Prudential mutual fund complex has adopted policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio securities owned by each fund (“portfolio holdings”), and to authorize certain arrangements to make available information about portfolio holdings. These policies and procedures are designed to ensure that disclosures of a fund’s portfolio holdings are made consistently with the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and the fiduciary duties of each fund and each fund adviser. The policy is designed to ensure that disclosures of nonpublic portfolio holdings to selected third parties are made only when the fund has legitimate business purposes for doing so and the recipients are subject to a duty of confidentiality, including a duty not to trade on the nonpublic information.
The Board has authorized PGIM Investments, as the investment manager of each fund, to administer these policies and procedures and to enter into confidentiality agreements on behalf of the funds that provide that all information disclosed shall be treated as confidential and that the recipient will not trade on the nonpublic information. No material, non-public information, including but not limited to portfolio holdings, may be disseminated to third parties except in compliance with these policies and procedures.
The Custodian Banks (State Street Bank and Bank of New York Mellon) are authorized to facilitate, under the supervision of PGIM Investments, the release of portfolio holdings.
Regulatory Filings. Portfolio holdings for each fund as of the second and fourth fiscal quarters are made public, as required by law, in a fund’s annual and semi-annual reports. These reports are filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and mailed to shareholders within 60 days after the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters. Annual and semi-annual shareholder reports for a fund may be accessed at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third fiscal quarters are made public and filed with the SEC on Form N-Q within 60 days after the end of the Fund’s first and third fiscal quarters. Once Form N-Q is rescinded, disclosure of the Fund’s complete holdings will be required to be made quarterly on Form N-PORT, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2019, with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Fund’s fiscal quarter.
Additional Disclosures. When authorized by the Chief Compliance Officer and another officer of the Prudential mutual funds, portfolio holdings information may be publicly disseminated more frequently or at different periods than as described above.
Ongoing Disclosure Arrangements. Each fund has entered into ongoing arrangements to make available nonpublic information about its portfolio holdings, subject to the conditions, restrictions and requirements set forth below. Parties receiving this information may include intermediaries that distribute fund shares, third-party providers of auditing, custody, proxy voting and other services for the funds, rating and ranking organizations, and certain affiliated persons of each fund, as described below. The procedures utilized to determine eligibility are set forth below:
All requests from third parties for portfolio holdings shall require the following steps:
A request for release of portfolio holdings shall be prepared setting forth a legitimate business purpose for such release which shall specify the fund(s), the terms of such release, and frequency (e.g., level of detail, staleness). Such request shall address whether there are any conflicts of interest between the fund and the investment adviser, subadviser, principal underwriter or any affiliated person thereof and how such conflicts shall be dealt with to demonstrate that the disclosure is in the best interest of the shareholders of the fund(s).
The request shall be forwarded to PGIM Investment’s Product Development Group and to the Chief Compliance Officer or his delegate for review and approval.
A confidentiality agreement in the form approved by a fund officer must be executed with the recipient of the portfolio holdings.
A fund officer shall approve the release and the agreement. Copies of the release and agreement shall be sent to the PGIM Investments Law Department.
Written notification of the approval shall be sent by such officer to PGIM Investments’ Fund Administration Group to arrange the release of portfolio holdings.
PGIM Investment’s Fund Administration Group shall arrange the release by the Custodian Banks.
Requests for disclosure to PGIM Investments or its employees shall follow the procedures noted above other than the execution of a confidentiality agreement.

29

In addition, certain authorized employees of PGIM Investments receive portfolio holdings information on a quarterly, monthly or daily basis or upon request, in order to perform their business functions. All PGIM Investments employees are subject to the requirements of the personal securities trading policy of Prudential Financial, Inc., which prohibits employees from trading on or further disseminating confidential information, including portfolio holdings information.
Also, affiliated shareholders may, subject to execution of a non-disclosure agreement, receive current portfolio holdings for the sole purpose of enabling a fund to effect the payment of the redemption price to such shareholder in whole or in part by a distribution in kind of securities from the investment portfolio of the fund, in lieu of cash, in conformity with the rules of the SEC and procedures adopted by the Board. For more information regarding the payment of the redemption price by a distribution in kind of securities from the investment portfolio of the fund, see “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares—Redemption in Kind.”
PGIM Investment’s Law Department and the Chief Compliance Officer shall review the arrangements with each recipient on an annual basis. The Board shall, on a quarterly basis be advised of any revisions to the list of recipients of portfolio holdings and the reason for such disclosure. These policies and procedures will be reviewed for adequacy and effectiveness in connection with the funds’ compliance program under Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.
A listing of the parties who will receive portfolio holdings pursuant to these procedures is maintained by PGIM Investments Compliance.
There can be no assurance that the policies and procedures on portfolio holdings information will protect a fund from the potential misuse of such information by individuals or entities that come into possession of the information.

Item 29. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with the Registrant.
All of the shares of Prudential’s Gibraltar Fund, Inc. are held by three separate accounts of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential Insurance): Prudential’s Investment Plan Account, Prudential’s Annuity Plan Account and Prudential’s Annuity Plan Account-2. Prudential Insurance also holds directly and in certain other separate accounts shares of The Prudential Series Fund, a Delaware trust. Most of the other shares of The Prudential Series Fund are held by separate accounts of Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, which are both indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential Financial). All of the separate accounts referred to above are unit investment trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Prudential’s Gibraltar Fund, Inc. and The Prudential Series Fund are registered as open-end, diversified management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In accordance with current legal requirements, the shares of the investment companies are voted in accordance with the instructions of persons having an interest in the unit investment trusts, and Prudential Insurance, Pruco Life Insurance Company and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey will vote the shares they hold directly in the same manner that they vote the shares that they hold in their separate accounts.
Registrant may also be deemed to be under common control with The Prudential Variable Contract Account-2, The Prudential Variable Contract Account-10 and The Prudential Variable Contract Account-11, separate accounts of Prudential Insurance registered as open-end, diversified management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The subsidiaries of Prudential Financial Inc. (“PFI”) are listed under Exhibit 21.1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of PFI (Registration No. 001-16707), filed on February 14, 2020, the text of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 30. Indemnification.
The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provide that “each director and each officer of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent permitted by the General Laws of the State of Maryland and the Investment Company Act of 1940, now or hereafter in force, including the advance of related expenses.”
2

The Registrant, in connection with other PI-advised funds, maintains a directors and officers errors and omissions policy, which provides the Registrant and its directors and officers with coverage against losses due to any breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement or omission, and for costs and expenses incurred in the defense of any insured claim.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
