                        Supplement dated June 4, 2003

The following information supplements the Prospectus of each of the Funds listed
below.

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

   At meetings held on March 4, 2003 and April 11, 2003, the Board of Trustees
of each Fund approved the proposals summarized below. The proposals will be
submitted for approval by shareholders of the Funds at a Special Meeting of
Shareholders scheduled to be held on July 17, 2003.

Election of Trustees

   The Board of Trustees approved a proposal to elect David E.A. Carson, Robert
E. La Blanc, Douglas H. McCorkindale, Stephen P. Munn, Richard A. Redeker, Robin
B. Smith, Stephen Stoneburn, Clay T. Whitehead, Judy A. Rice, and Robert F.
Gunia as Trustees of each of the Funds.

How the Fund Is Managed

   The Board of Trustees of Strategic Partners Opportunity Funds--Strategic
Partners Focused Growth Fund (Focused Growth Fund) approved a proposal under
which the Board may authorize Prudential Investments LLC (PI or the Manager),
subject to certain conditions, to enter into or amend subadvisory agreements
without obtaining further shareholder approval. One of the conditions is that
shareholders must first approve the grant of this ongoing authority to the Board
of Trustees. Another condition is that this proposal may be implemented only if
the Focused Growth Fund complies with the conditions of an exemptive order
authorizing the arrangement previously issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

   Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, which cannot be assured, PI
would be permitted, with Board approval, but without further shareholder
approval, to employ new subadvisers for the Focused Growth Fund (limited to
subadvisers not affiliated with the Fund or PI), change the terms of Focused
Growth Fund's subadvisory agreements or enter into new subadvisory agreements
with existing subadvisers. Shareholders of Focused Growth Fund would continue to
have the right to terminate a subadvisory agreement at any time by a vote of the
majority of its outstanding voting securities. Shareholders would be notified of
any subadviser changes or other material amendments to subadvisory agreements
that occur under these arrangements.

   The Board of Trustees of Focused Growth Fund also approved a proposed new
management agreement with PI. If shareholders approve this new contract, PI
would be permitted to allocate and reallocate Focused Growth Fund's assets among
its subadviser(s), including Jennison Associates LLC, Prudential Investment
Management, Inc. and unaffiliated subadvisers, without obtaining further
shareholder approval.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

   If approved by shareholders, the fundamental investment restrictions of each
of the Funds of Strategic Partners Opportunity Funds (Opportunity Funds),
Strategic Partners Style Specific Funds (Style Specific Funds) and The Target
Portfolio Trust (Target) would be changed to provide PI and each Fund's
subadviser(s) with additional flexibility to pursue a Fund's investment
objective, to allow each Fund to implement certain investment programs that may
help the Funds to achieve economies of scale by participating in transactions
with other Strategic Partners and other affiliated mutual funds, and to
eliminate certain restrictions that were imposed by state regulators that are no
longer required or that were imposed years ago and do not support PI's and each
subadviser's strategy to pursue each Fund's investment objective. Strategic
Partners Asset Allocation Funds has fundamental investment restrictions that
currently provide most of the flexibility being sought on behalf of Opportunity
Funds, Style Specific Funds and Target. Substantive changes to current
fundamental investment restrictions are further explained below.

MF2003C8



Borrowing Money

   If approved by shareholders, each Fund's investment restriction regarding
borrowing would be modified to allow borrowing money to the extent permitted
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and any applicable rules, regulations,
exemptive orders, no-action letters or other relief granted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. If the modifications to the investment restriction are
approved by shareholders, each Fund could borrow money for temporary,
extraordinary or emergency purposes or for the clearance of transactions and to
take advantage of investment opportunities. In addition, each Fund would be
permitted to borrow money from other Prudential mutual funds if the Securities
and Exchange Commission grants exemptive relief to permit borrowing and
lending between the Funds and the Funds adopt such an inter-fund lending
program.

Lending

   If approved by shareholders, each Fund's investment restriction regarding
lending would be modified to allow lending of Fund assets and money to the
extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and any applicable
rules, regulations, exemptive orders, no-action letters or other relief granted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proposed disclosure more
accurately describes each Fund's lending activities and plans to make loans of
assets in the future. In addition, if the modifications to the investment
restriction are approved by shareholders, each Fund would be permitted to lend
money to other Prudential mutual funds if the Securities and Exchange Commission
grants exemptive relief to permit borrowing and lending between the Funds
and the Funds adopt such an inter-fund lending program.

Investment for Control or Management

   If approved by shareholders, each Fund's investment restriction prohibiting
investments for the purpose of exercising control or management will become a
non-fundamental restriction, meaning that the Board could in the future modify
or eliminate the restriction without further shareholder approval. There is no
present intention by the Boards of the Funds to modify or eliminate the
investment restriction.

Investments in Securities of Other Investment Companies

   If approved by shareholders, each Fund's investment restriction regarding the
purchase of shares of investment companies will become a non-fundamental
restriction, meaning that the Board could in the future modify or eliminate the
restriction without further shareholder approval. If approved by shareholders,
the Boards of the Funds intend to modify the investment restriction to permit
the Funds to invest uninvested cash in shares of affiliated mutual funds in an
amount of up to 25% of each Fund's assets pursuant to an exemptive order issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ability to invest in affiliated
mutual funds may allow each Fund to reduce the administrative burdens and costs
associated with investing in money market instruments and short-term debt
securities.

State Charters

   If approved by shareholders, each Fund's Delaware charter will be amended
to modify or eliminate unnecessary or unduly burdensome provisions that do not
optimally protect shareholder interests, to eliminate potential uncertainty
regarding the application of certain state laws and to achieve consistent
charter provisions for the Funds.
