   As of September 4, 2001, The PruTector Program, optional group term life
insurance available to owners of Prudential mutual fund shares, will no longer
be offered for new purchases of shares of Prudential Diversified Funds (PDF) and
Target Funds (Target). However, investors who had obtained PruTector coverage
for shares of these Funds acquired before September 4, 2001 may continue to
maintain this coverage for these shares and may obtain PruTector coverage for
Fund shares purchased on or after September 4, 2001.

   As a reminder, on September 4, 2001, PDF and Target will be renamed Strategic
Partners Asset Allocation Funds and Strategic Partners Style Specific Funds,
respectively.

   This Supplement modifies the paragraph entitled 'The PruTector Program,'
which appears on page 53 of the PDF Prospectus and page 46 of the Target
Prospectus, under the heading 'How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares of the Funds
- -- How to Buy Shares -- Step 4: Additional Shareholder Services.'
