Dear Contract Owner:

 

The U.S. stock market slowed in 2004 following a particularly strong performance in 2003. Some investors still seem to be watching developments from the sidelines. This reaction is understandable, given the unsettled global political climate and the potential for rising short-term interest rates. However, too much time on the sidelines can make it difficult to achieve long-term goals. We recommend a different approach.

 

A broadly diversified portfolio through asset allocation can help you better manage downside risk by avoiding overexposure to any specific asset class. And this strategy may better position your investments to capture more upside performance as asset classes rotate in and out of favor.

 

Your investment professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that takes into account your reasons for investing, the time you have to reach your goals, and the amount of risk you feel comfortable assuming. With the proper asset allocation in your portfolio, it will be easier for you to stay focused on achieving your long-term goals.

 

Prudential is committed to providing you with the financial solutions to help you grow and protect your wealth. We thank you for your confidence in our products and look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

David R. Odenath, President

(Unaudited)

 

The following annotations are used throughout the Schedule of Investments:

 

* The cost of securities for federal income tax purposes is substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.
144A Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise noted 144A securities are deemed to be liquid.
(c) Indicates a variable rate security. The maturity date presented for these instruments is the latter of the next date on which the security can be redeemed at par or the next date on which the rate of interest is adjusted. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at June 30, 2004.
(h) Security is restricted as to resale and generally is sold only to institutional investors who agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment and not with a view to public distribution (does not include 144A securities—see footnote above). At the end of the current reporting period, the aggregate cost of such securities was $143,819,934. The aggregate market value of $143,819,934 is approximately 7.96% of net assets. These securities have been deemed to be liquid under procedures established by the Board of Directors.

 

The following is a breakdown of the money market portfolio by industry classification, as of June 30, 2004. Percentages are based on net assets.

1.    ORGANIZATION

 

American Skandia Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust was organized on October 31, 1988 as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust operates as a series company and, at June 30, 2004, issued 37 classes of shares of beneficial interest (collectively the “Portfolios”).

 

Purchases of shares of the Portfolios may be made only by separate accounts of Participating Insurance Companies for the purpose of investing assets attributable to variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Contractholders”), or by qualified plans. The separate accounts of the Participating Insurance Companies place orders to purchase and redeem shares of the Trust based on, among other things, the amount of premium payments to be invested and the amount of surrender and transfer requests to be effected on that day under the variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust and the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.

 

Security Valuation

 

Securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last

 

219


American Skandia Trust

Notes To Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price provided by Nasdaq. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by the co-managers, in consultation with the subadviser(s); to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been effected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Portfolio’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

 

Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.

 

Money Market uses amortized cost to value short-term securities. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principle amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities that are held in the other Portfolios which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations and those short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

 

Restricted Securities

 

Subject to guidelines adopted by the Trustees of the Trust, each Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities (except for the AST Money Market Portfolio, which is limited to 10% of net assets, and the AST Alliance/Bernstein Growth + Value Portfolio, the AST Sanford Bernstein Core Value Portfolio and the AST Sanford Bernstein Managed Index 500 Portfolio, which is limited to 5% of its net assets). Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, a Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Sub-advisor and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.

 

Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These

 

220


 

Rule 144A securities, and well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Sub-advisor under the guidelines adopted by the Trustees of the Trust. However, the liquidity of a Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based at the current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Portfolio securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 

Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currencies, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Portfolio securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

 

Forward Currency Contracts

 

A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain Portfolios, as defined in the prospectus, enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

Options

 

The Portfolios (except for Money Market) may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Portfolio currently owns or intends to purchase. The Portfolio’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Portfolio purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Portfolio writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.

 

221


American Skandia Trust

Notes To Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

If an option expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on written options transactions.

 

The Portfolio, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. The Portfolio, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

When a Portfolio writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Portfolio will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.

 

Financial Futures Contracts

 

A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on financial futures contracts. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedged assets.

 

Short Sales

 

Certain portfolios of the Trust may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Portfolio may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Portfolio makes a short sale, it will borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale as collateral for its obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Portfolio may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. The fee may be referred to as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolio each

 

222


 

day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the security sold short. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. A gain, limited to the price at which the Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is each Portfolio’s policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians under triparty repurchase agreements, as the case may be, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transactions, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

 

Swap Agreements

 

The Portfolios may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The Portfolios may enter into interest rate, forward swap spread lock and credit default swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rates and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the

duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. Dividends and interest on the securities in the swap are included in the value of the exchange. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and is equal to the difference between the Portfolio’s basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including fees. During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Portfolio may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

 

Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Delayed Delivery Transactions

 

Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount

 

223

Notes To Financial Statements (continued)

June 30, 2004 (Unaudited)

 

sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

 

Security Loans

 

The Portfolios may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. Security loans are limited to 33 1/3% of the total assets of the respective portfolio. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolios have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Portfolios recognize income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios also continue to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income

 

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. The Trust’s expenses are allocated to the respective Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets except for expenses that are charged directly at the portfolio level.

 

Taxes

 

For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio in the Trust is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is each Portfolio’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually by all Portfolios other than Money Market. In the case of Money Market, dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions to

 

224


 

shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually. These dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan permits American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated (“ASMI”) to receive brokerage commissions in connection with purchases and sales of securities by the Portfolios, and to use these commissions to promote the sale of variable contracts, the premiums for which are invested in shares of the Trust. Under the Plan, securities transactions for a Portfolio may be directed to certain brokers for execution (“clearing brokers”) who have agreed to pay part of the brokerage commissions received on these transactions to ASMI for “introducing” transactions to the clearing broker. In turn, ASMI uses the brokerage commissions received as an introducing broker to pay various distribution-related expenses, such as advertising, printing of sales materials, and payments to dealers. Commissions received by ASMI under the Plan are reflected in the cost of securities purchased and the proceeds from the sale of securities. These commissions are shown in the Statements of Operations as “Distribution Fees” and a corresponding reduction “Fees Paid Indirectly”. Net expenses of the Portfolios are unaffected by these commissions. For the period ended June 30, 2004, commissions received by ASMI totaled $2,841,232. The Trust excluding DeAM Global Allocation Portfolio has entered into an agreement with American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (“ASLAC”) pursuant to which it pays ASLAC a shareholder servicing fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

 

Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are officers or directors of the Investment Manager. The Trust pays no compensation directly to its officers or interested Trustees. The Investment Manager also pays for occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses. The Trust bears all other costs and expenses.

6.    LINE OF CREDIT

 

Through April 30, 2004, the Portfolios and other affiliated funds participated in a $200 million unsecured, committed line of credit (“Credit Facility”), provided by a syndication of banks, under a line of credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Any borrowings must be repaid within 30 days of their receipt. Interest is charged to each Portfolio, based on its borrowings, at a premium above the Federal Funds Rate. In addition, a commitment fee, equal to an annual rate of 0.09% of the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is allocated among the participants at the end of each quarter. The expiration date of the Credit Facility was April 30, 2004. Effective May 1, 2004, the Portfolios and other affiliated funds participate in a $250 million unsecured, committed line of credit provided by PNC Bank (“PNC Facility”) under a line of credit agreement. The expiration date of the PNC Facility is October 29, 2004. For the period ended June 30, 2004, there were 23 Portfolios borrowing under the agreement, by the Trust.
