Dear Shareholder:

I am writing to ask you to vote on important proposals (the “Proposals”) relating to (1) proposed changes to the Fund’s subadvisers and (2) a proposal to permit the Fund’s manager to enter into or make material changes to your Fund’s subadvisory agreements with both unaffiliated and wholly-owned subadvisers without shareholder approval.

INTRODUCTION

Fund Background and Management

The Trust is an open-end, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Trust, which is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, is located at Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102-4077. Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or the “Manager”), Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102-4077, serves as the manager of the Target Fund. As of March 31, 2014, PI served as the manager or co-manager to open-end investment companies and as manager or administrator to closed-end investment companies with aggregate assets of approximately $241.7 billion. Investment advisory services are currently provided to the Target Fund by the Manager at the addresses listed above and by the current subadvisers at their respective addresses listed in Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent of the Trust. PMFS is an affiliate of the Manager. PMFS provides customary transfer agency services to the Trust, including the handling of shareholder communications, the processing of shareholder transactions, the maintenance of shareholder account records, the payment of dividends and distributions, and related functions. For these services, PMFS receives compensation from the Trust and is reimbursed for its transfer agent expenses which include an annual fee per shareholder account, a monthly inactive account fee per shareholder account and its out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to postage, stationery, printing, allocable communication expenses and other costs. BNY Mellon Asset Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNYAS”) serves as sub-transfer agent to the Trust. PMFS has contracted with BNYAS, 301 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, to provide certain administrative functions to the Transfer Agent. PMFS will compensate BNYAS for such services.

Reasons for the Meeting

At a special Board meeting held on April 30, 2014 (the “April Board Meeting”), the Board considered presentations made by the Manager and the New Subadvisers concerning changes to the Target Fund’s subadvisory arrangements, investment strategy and name (such changes are collectively referred to herein from time to time as the “Fund Repositioning”). The Manager and the Board are proposing the New Subadvisers in order to enable the Manager to have the New Subadvisers implement a new investment strategy for the Fund.

Specifically, if the new subadvisory agreements between PI and each of the New Subadvisers to serve as subadvisers to the Portfolio are approved by the shareholders of the Target Fund, the effective date of the new strategies is expected to occur during the second half of 2014 and the Fund’s name will be changed from the “Target Conservative Allocation Fund” to the “Prudential Income Builder Fund.”

If shareholders approve the sub-proposals in Proposal 1, the Target Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies would be changed. If a sub-proposal is not approved, the Manager may determine to implement the sub-proposals that are approved by shareholders. The Target Fund currently seeks current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation as its investment objective. If the Proposal is approved, the Repositioned Fund will seek income and long-term capital growth as its investment objective.

The Target Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity and debt obligations; it may invest approximately 40% (and up to 45%) of total assets in common stocks (of which 20% of its total assets may be in foreign equity securities) and 60% (and up to 65%) of total assets in debt securities of varying credit quality. The Target Fund may invest up to 15% in small capitalization stocks. The Target Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies (but no more than 15% in emerging market currencies), up to 25% of its total assets in derivatives (with up to 15% of net assets in swaps) and may invest up to 35% of total assets in mortgage related securities and 25% in asset-backed securities. In addition, the Target Portfolio may invest up to 35% of total assets in junk bonds. The Target Fund may invest in ETFs and may invest up to 25% of total assets in convertible and preferred securities. The Repositioned Fund would be permitted to invest approximately 20% to 80% of total assets in equity and equity-related securities, which may include common stocks, securities convertible or exchangeable for common stock, preferred securities, warrants and rights, ETFs, investments in various types of

business ventures including partnerships and joint ventures and business development companies, real estate securities, securities of real estate investment trusts and incomes and royalty trusts, American Depositary Receipts and other similar securities issued by U.S. or foreign companies of any market capitalization.

The Repositioned Fund may invest up to 25% of total assets in publicly traded master limited partnerships (“MLPs”). It may also invest approximately 20% to 80% of total assets in fixed income investments, including all types of bonds (except preferred securities) of varying maturities and credit quality (including “junk” bonds), such as U.S. Government securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, convertibles, corporate debt securities and foreign securities. Additionally, the Repositioned Fund may invest in underlying Prudential funds and ETFs. Like the Target Fund, the Repositioned Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in derivatives, including options, futures and swaps (although the Repositioned Fund does not have a 15% limit on swaps).

For the Repositioned Fund, QMA will dynamically allocate among the different market segments within equities and equity-related securities and fixed income obligations. Asset allocation decisions will be determined using a combination of quantitative tools and the judgment of QMA’s investment professionals.

The Board has approved the new subadvisory agreements, the hiring of the New Subadvisers, the termination of the Current Subadvisers, the Fund Repositioning, the calling of the Meeting, and the submission to shareholders of the Proposal to hire the New Subadvisers as the subadvisers to the Fund. The sub-proposals in Proposal 1 involve the approval of the appointment of the New Subadvisers. If shareholders approve the sub-proposals in Proposal 1, the Manager will retain the New Subadvisers, the Current Subadvisers will be terminated, the Target Fund’s investment objective and investment strategy will change, and the name change for the Target Fund will be implemented.

The proposed termination of Current Subadvisers as subadvisers for the Target Fund, the retention of the New Subadvisers as subadvisers for the Target Fund, the investment objective and strategy change, and the name change for the Target Fund would not go into effect if Target Fund shareholders do not approve the sub-proposals in Proposal 1. Instead, the Target Fund will continue to operate in accordance with its current investment objective and investment strategies and the Board will consider other alternatives.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

TO APPROVE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN

PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENTS LLC AND EACH OF THE FOLLOWING AFFILIATED SUBADVISERS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND:

(A) QUANTITATIVE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES LLC,

(B) JENNISON ASSOCIATES LLC,

(C) PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. ON BEHALF OF ITS BUSINESS UNIT, PRUDENTIAL FIXED INCOME,

AND (D) PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC. ON BEHALF OF ITS BUSINESS UNIT, PRUDENTIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

The Board, including all of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust under the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”), has approved, and recommends that the shareholders of the Fund approve, the appointment of the New Subadvisers as the subadvisers to the Target Fund. A form of the proposed subadvisory agreements between PI and each of the New Subadvisers is included as Exhibit B to this proxy statement. The proposed subadvisory agreements between PI and each of the New Subadvisers were approved by the Board at the April Board Meeting. In addition to the shareholder approval, the proposed subadvisory agreements between PI and each of the New Subadvisers are subject to “in person” Board approval at the meeting of the Board to be held June 9-11, 2014 (the “June Board Meeting”), as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act.

PI may terminate the Current Subadvisers without shareholder vote. PI and the mutual funds advised by PI (the “Funds”) operate under an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that generally permits Pl to enter into or amend agreements with unaffiliated investment subadvisers with Board

approval and without shareholder vote. PI and the New Subadvisers are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. Each of the New Subadvisers is an affiliate of PI.

The information below should be reviewed in connection with the proposed Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each of the New Subadvisers. Shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposed Subadvisory Agreement with each New Subadviser separately. If the Subadvisory Agreements with the New Subadvisers are not approved by shareholders, the Target Fund will continue to operate in accordance with its current investment objective and investment strategies and the Board will consider other alternatives.

Comparative Fee and Expense Information

Subadvisory Fees. The subadvisory fees payable to the New Subadvisers will be paid by the Manager and not by the Fund. The proposed contractual subadvisory fee rates between the Manager and the New Subadvisers, and the current contractual subadvisory fee rates between the Manager and the Current Subadvisers, are shown below.

Subadviser		Annualized Contractual Subadvisory Fee Rate as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets *
NEW SUBADVISERS
QMA		0.175%

Jennison		0.425% to $500 million; 0.40% over $500 million to $1 billion; 0.375% over $1 billion

PFI		Broad Market High Yield: 0.25% Emerging Markets Debt: 0.45% to $200 million; 0.40% over $200 million

PREI		0.40%

CURRENT SUBADVISERS Eagle Asset Management, Inc.		0.50% to $50 million; 0.45% over $50 million

EARNEST Partners, LLC		0.40%

Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.		0.275% to $1 billion; 0.20% over $1 billion

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC		0.25% to $1 billion; 0.225% over $1 billion

Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC		0.30%

Massachusetts Financial Services Company		0.375% on first $250 million; 0.325% on next $250 million; 0.300% on next $250 million; 0.275% on next $250 million; 0.25% on next $500 million; 0.225% over $1.5 billion

Vaughan Nelson Investment		0.40% to $250 million;

Management, L.P.

0.35% over $250 million

NFJ Investment Group LLC

0.40% on first $50 million;

0.38% on next $50 million;

0.34% on next $50 million;

0.30% on next $200 million;

0.28% over $350 million

*For purposes of the fee calculations, the current subadvisers (other than Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC) aggregate fund assets they manage for PI that are managed in substantially the same investment style. The New Subadvisers do not aggregate fund assets under management in similar styles for purposes of fee calculations.

Other than the different subadvisory fee rates, the proposed subadvisory agreements with the New Subadvisers are substantially similar to the current subadvisory agreements for the Target Fund. The Manager notes that the proposed subadvisory fee rates with respect to the Target Fund were separately negotiated between the Manager and the New Subadvisers. The Manager recognizes that if the proposed Subadvisory Agreements with the New Subadvisers are approved, the net management fee to be retained by the Manager (i.e., the investment management fees received by the Manager minus the subadvisory fees to be paid to the New Subadvisers by the Manager) with respect to the Target Fund will be lower than that retained by the Manager in connection with the current subadvisory arrangements. The investment management and subadvisory fee arrangements for the Target Fund reflect the negotiated business arrangements between the Manager and the relevant subadviser. The size of the Manager’s net investment management fee rate for a given fund (i.e., investment management fee rate minus subadvisory fee rate) will depend upon the fee arrangements that the Manager was able to negotiate with the relevant subadviser. Other than the different subadvisory fee rates, the proposed subadvisory agreements with the New Subadvisers are substantially similar to the current subadvisory agreements for the Target Fund.

Considerations and Recommendation

The proposed Income Builder strategy will be a new strategy for the New Subadvisers. The following are factors to consider regarding the New Subadvisers and their extensive experience and capabilities:

· QMA, which is proposed to serve as the asset allocator for the Fund, is a leader in designing asset allocation strategies to help meet a broad range of investment objectives. QMA has been managing asset allocation strategies since 1975, and, as of December 30, 2013, has approximately $ billion in assets under management in asset allocation strategies. QMA will dynamically allocate among the different market segments within equities and equity-related securities and fixed income obligations. Asset allocation decisions will be determined using a combination of quantitative tools and the judgment of QMA’s investment professionals.

· Jennison is proposed to manage the Fund’s assets directly allocated to equity income strategies. As of February 28, 2014, Jennison managed in excess of $182 billion in assets. Jennison (including its predecessor, Jennison Associates Capital Corp.) is a registered investment adviser founded in 1969.

· PFI is proposed to manage the Fund’s assets allocated to high yield and emerging markets debt strategies. As of December 31, 2013, PFI managed approximately $405 billion in assets.

· PREI is proposed to manage the Fund’s assets allocated to real estate assets. PREI, comprised of fund management centers in the United States in Madison, NJ and Atlanta, GA, and globally in Munich, London, Singapore and Mexico City, is supported by a network of local offices throughout the world. Its specialized operating units offer a broad range of real estate investment opportunities and investment management services in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America. PREI managed $55.7 billion in gross real estate assets ($41 billion net) as of December 31, 2013.

The Board recommends Proposal 1 as being in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders for the above reasons, in connection with the transition to the Repositioned Fund.

The Board considered the following factors, provided by PI, regarding the benefits of a transition to the Repositioned Fund:

· Potential for improved performance;

· Greater opportunity for income generation;

· Access to additional and non-traditional sub-classes to provide greater diversification; and

· Potential for asset growth of the Fund, which in the long term may lower the expenses of the Fund.

Description of Portfolio Repositioning

A description of the contemplated changes to the Portfolio’s investment strategy is set forth below. The Board approved these changes at the April Board Meeting. Implementation of these changes, however, is subject to receipt of the required shareholder approval with respect to Proposal 1. In addition to the shareholder approval, the proposed subadvisory agreements between PI and each of the New Subadvisers are also subject to “in person” Board approval at the June Board Meeting, as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act.

Current and Proposed Investment Objective. The investment objective of the Target Fund is to seek current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The investment objective of the proposed Repositioned Fund is to seek income and long-term capital growth. The current and proposed investment objectives are non-fundamental investment policies of the Fund and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. No assurance can be given that the Target Fund or the Repositioned Fund will achieve its investment objective.

· Fixed income investments include all types of bonds (except preferred securities) of varying maturities and credit quality (including “junk” bonds), such as U.S. Government securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, convertibles, corporate debt securities, foreign securities. Such investments may be denominated in U.S. currency or foreign currencies.

· May invest in other Prudential mutual funds (“Underlying Prudential Funds”) and ETFs. Such investments will be included in the

· S&P 500 Index (primary)

· Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass through securities and asset backed securities (secondary).

* The Customized Blend Index is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. Russell 3000® (40%) measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies; Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond (60%) includes investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, and by corporations with between 1 and 10 years remaining to maturity. All indexes are unmanaged and do not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. The Russell index and Russell are trademarks of the Frank Russell Company. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

In addition, if Proposal 1 is approved and the Fund Repositioning is implemented, the Fund will adopt a new interpretation of its policy on concentration. Under Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act, a fund must set forth in its registration statement its policy with respect to concentrating its assets (i.e., investing 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries. The Fund’s fundamental policy on concentration is that it will not purchase any security if as a result 25% or more of its total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry, except for temporary defensive purposes, and except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. PI proposed, and the Board approved, an interpretation of this concentration policy under which the Fund will not consider investment companies to be an industry for purposes of this policy, and the Fund’s investment in an investment company that concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of industries will not be considered an investment by the Fund in that particular industry or group of industries. Under this interpretation, the Fund will be permitted to invest 25% or more of its total assets in one or more Underlying Prudential Funds that themselves may invest 25% or more of their total assets in a particular industry or group of industries. As a result, the Fund will be permitted to expose 25% or more of its assets to the risks of the industry or group of industries in which an Underlying Prudential Fund invests.

Substantially Similar Funds or Portfolios Managed by PI

PI does not manage another fund or portfolio that has investment objectives, policies, and strategies that are substantially similar to the proposed investment objective, policies, and strategies for the Repositioned Fund.

Substantially Similar Funds or Portfolios Advised by the New Subadvisers

None of the New Subadvisers manage another fund or portfolio that has investment objectives, policies, or strategies that are substantially similar to the proposed investment objective, policies, and strategies for the Repositioned Fund.

QMA provides asset allocation services to various institutional clients, mutual funds, including Prudential Retail and Insurance Mutual Funds, and other pooled investment vehicles. In connection with such services, QMA

has allocated between traditional and non-traditional asset classes. However, there are no funds for which QMA provides services directly comparable to the asset allocation services to be provided to the Repositioned Fund.

Jennison will directly manage the assets allocated to it for the Repositioned Fund in a manner that is substantially similar to the investment strategy that it employs for the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund, a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 10, Inc. Jennison receives a fee of 0.43% to $500 million, 0.38% over $500 million to $1 billion, and 0.34% over $1 billion of the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund’s average daily net assets for serving as subadviser to the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund.

PREI manages several funds that invest in real estate-related investments, but there are no funds for which PREI serves as subadviser that have strategies directly comparable to those of the Repositioned Fund. For its services as a subadviser to other funds, PREI receives the following fees:

Fund		Annualized Contractual Subadvisory Fee Rate as a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
Prudential Select Real Estate Fund ,a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 9 (PIP 9)		0.475%

Prudential Global Real Estate Fund, a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 12 (PIP 12)		0.45% of the investable assets up to $1 billion; 0.40% of the investable assets over $1 billion This fee is contractually waived to 0.38% of investable assets.

Prudential US Real Estate Fund, a series of PIP 12		0.45% of the investable assets

Prudential International Real Estate Fund, a series of PIP 9		0.50% of the investable assets

AST Global Real Estate Portfolio, a series of Advanced Series Trust		0.45% of average daily net assets to $50 million; 0.40% of average daily net assets over $50 million to $150 million; 0.35% of average daily net assets over $150 million This fee is contractually waived to 0.38% of investable assets.

PFI will manage the assets allocated to it for direct investments in various sub-class strategies. For the portion of the Fund’s assets that will be managed pursuant to a high yield strategy, such assets will be managed in a manner that is substantially similar to the investment strategy that PFI employs for the Prudential High Yield Fund. The Prudential High Yield Fund’s current subadvisory fee rate is 0.250% up to and including $250 million, .2256% on the next $500 million, 0.2025% on the next $750 million, 0.1806% on the next $500 million, 0.160% on the next $500 million, 0.1406% on the next $500 million, and 0.1225% exceeding $3 billion of the Prudential High Yield Fund’s average daily net assets. PFI also serves as subadviser to the AST High Yield Fund for which it receives a subadvisory fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the AST High Yield Fund. The investment strategy for the AST High Yield Fund also is substantially similar to the strategy of the sub-class and the Prudential High Yield Fund.

With respect to the emerging markets debt sub-class, PFI serves as investment subadviser to the Prudential Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund, a series of Prudential World Fund, Inc., and also manages various emerging market strategies, including hard currency, local currency, blended currency, corporate and long/short strategies. Although the Fund’s investments in the emerging markets sub-class strategy may be denominated in local currencies or U.S. dollars, it is anticipated that based on current market conditions, which may change prior to the repositioning, such investments will primarily be denominated in U.S. dollars. PFI receives the following fees for its services as subadviser to the Prudential Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency Fund: .45% to $200 million of average daily net assets and .40% over $200 million of average daily net assets.

Matters Considered by the Board

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met during the April Board Meeting, to consider the Manager’s proposal to change the Fund’s subadvisory arrangements, investment objective, investment strategies, and name (such changes are collectively referred to herein from time to time as the “Fund Repositioning”). [A majority], of the Independent Trustees attended the April Board Meeting. In advance of the April Board Meeting, the Trustees received materials relating to all aspects of the Fund Repositioning and had the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information in connection with their consideration of the Fund Repositioning. The materials included, among other things, a detailed presentation by the New Subadvisers of the new investment strategies, performance information for asset classes to be managed by the New Subadvisers that are similar to other funds that they manage, a comparative analysis of the investment management fee rate for the Repositioned Fund (unchanged from the Target Fund) and its estimated expenses compared to a peer group selected by Lipper, Inc. with investment policies and strategies similar to those of the Repositioned Fund.

At the April Board Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the termination of the existing subadvisory agreements relating to the Fund between the Manager and the Current Subadvisers, the execution of subadvisory agreements relating to the Fund between the Manager and the New Subadvisers, and certain changes to the Fund’s investment strategies as outlined above. Implementation of the subadvisory agreements between the Manager and the New Subadvisers is also subject to “in person” Board approval at the June Board Meeting, as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. At the April Board Meeting, the Board received oral presentations from representatives of the Manager and the New Subadvisers and had the opportunity to ask questions and obtain additional information about the Fund Repositioning, including the proposed subadvisory arrangements.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determination to approve the proposed subadvisory arrangements are discussed separately below.

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Target Fund by the Manager and Current Subadvisers under the current Management Agreement and the current subadvisory agreements and the nature and extent of services to be provided to the Repositioned Fund by the Manager and the New Subadvisers under the new subadvisory agreements. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the investment advisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by the Manager and the New Subadvisers under the new subadvisory agreements.

Investment Performance

The Board noted that the current Management Agreement had been considered and renewed by the Board in June 2013 as part of its annual consideration of the renewal of the Target Fund’s investment management agreement, and that it had considered the Fund’s historical investment performance at that time.

The Board also considered that it was approving the New Subadvisers as subadvisers for the Repositioned Fund and that the New Subadvisers would be implementing new investment strategies for the Fund. Neither the Manager nor the New Subadvisers manage any single pooled investment vehicle that uses all of the investment strategies that are expected to be used in connection with the Repositioned Fund. As a result, there was no directly comparable investment performance for the Repositioned Fund for the Board to review at the April Board Meeting. Some of the investment strategies to be used by each of the New Subadvisers in connection with the Repositioned Fund are used by the New Subadvisers in connection with their management of portions of other registered investment companies and/or pooled investment vehicles. At the April Board Meeting, the Board reviewed performance information of other investment companies and/or pooled investment vehicles with strategies similar to those proposed to be managed by the New Subadvisers in the Repositioned Fund.

Other Matters

The Board considered that subadvisory fees are paid by PI to the subadvisers for the Fund. Therefore, a change in the subadvisory fee rate would not change the investment management fee paid by the Fund or its shareholders. Instead, any change in the effective subadvisory fee rate would change the net investment management fee retained by PI. The net investment management fees to be retained by PI under the proposed subadvisory arrangements with the New Subadvisers would be reviewed along with the above-described factors in connection with any proposed future renewal of the Portfolio’s investment management agreement or the proposed subadvisory agreements with the New Subadvisers for the Fund.

Conclusion

Based on the materials provided to the Trustees and the presentations made by the Manager and the New Subadvisers at the April Board Meeting, the Board concluded that approving the New Subadvisers was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Implementation

As explained in more detail above, the Manager and the Board are proposing that the Trust enter into new subadvisory agreements with the New Subadvisers in order to enable the Manager to:

· terminate the Current Subadvisers as subadvisers for the Fund;

· retain the New Subadvisers as the subadvisers for the Fund;

· change the Fund name from the Target Conservative Allocation Fund to the Prudential Income Builder Fund, and

· have the New Subadvisers implement new investment strategies for the Fund.

Specifically, if the New Subadvisers are approved by the Fund’s shareholders, the addition of the New Subadvisers and the termination of the Current Subadvisers is expected to occur in the second half of 2014 and the Fund’s name will be changed from the Target Conservative Allocation Fund to the Prudential Income Builder Fund.

The Target Fund currently seeks current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation as its investment objective. The Repositioned Fund would seek income and long-term capital growth as its investment objective.

The Repositioned Fund would, on average, have more equity exposure than the Target Fund under normal circumstances. The Target Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity and debt obligations; it may invest approximately 40% (and up to 45%) of total assets in common stocks (of which 20% of its total assets may be in foreign equity securities) and 60% (and up to 65%) of total assets in debt securities of varying credit quality. The Target Fund may invest up to 15% in small capitalization stocks. The Target Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies (but no more than 15% in emerging market currencies), up to 25% of its total assets in derivatives (with up to 15% of net assets in swaps) and may invest up to 35% of total assets in mortgage related securities and 25% in asset-backed securities. In addition, the Target Fund may invest up to 35% of total assets in junk bonds. The Target Fund may invest in ETFs and may invest up to 25% of total assets in convertible and preferred securities. The Repositioned Fund would be permitted to invest approximately 20% to 80% of total assets in equity and equity-related securities, which may include common stocks, securities convertible or exchangeable for common stock, preferred securities, warrants and rights, ETFs, investments in various types of business ventures including partnerships and joint ventures and business development companies, real estate securities, securities of real estate investment trusts and incomes and royalty trusts, American Depositary Receipts and other similar securities issued by U.S. or foreign companies of any market capitalization.

The Repositioned Fund may invest up to 25% of total assets in publicly traded MLPs. It may also invest approximately 20% to 80% of total assets in fixed income investments, including all types of bonds (except preferred securities) of varying maturities and credit quality (including “junk” bonds), such as U.S. Government securities, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, convertibles, corporate debt securities and foreign securities. Additionally, the Repositioned Fund may invest in underlying Prudential funds and ETFs. Like the Target Fund, the Repositioned Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in derivatives, including options, futures and swaps.

The Board has approved each of the new subadvisory agreements under which the New Subadvisers will serve as Subadvisers to the Fund, the termination of the Current Subadvisers, the Fund Repositioning, the calling of the Meeting, and the submission to shareholders of Proposal No. 1 to hire the New Subadvisers as the subadvisers to the Fund. This Proposal involves the approval of the new subadvisory agreements between PI and the New Subadvisers for the Fund. In addition to the shareholder approval, the new subadvisory agreements between PI and the New Subadvisers for the Fund are also subject to “in person” Board approval at the June Board Meeting, as required by Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. If shareholders approve Proposal 1, the Manager will retain the New Subadvisers, the Current Subadvisers will be terminated, the Target Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies will change, and the name change for the Fund will be implemented.

In the event Target Fund shareholders do not approve the hiring of the New Subadvisers as subadvisers for the Fund, then the change in investment objective and strategies, the name change, and termination of the Target Fund’s Current Subadvisers may not go into effect. The Manager may determine to only implement the New Subadvisers that are approved by shareholders. Instead, the Target Fund would continue to operate in accordance with its current investment objective and strategy and the Board would consider alternatives.

Vote Required

Approval of each of the sub-proposals in Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as defined by the 1940 Act. For purposes of the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is the lesser of (i) 67% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS 16, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE SUB-PROPOSALS INPROPOSAL 1.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

TO APPROVE A PROPOSAL TO PERMIT THE MANAGER TO ENTER INTO, OR MAKE MATERIAL CHANGES TO, SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH UNAFFILIATED AND WHOLLY-OWNED SUBADVISERS WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees of the Trust, has approved, and recommends that the shareholders of the Fund approve, Proposal No. 2, which would permit PI to enter into subadvisory agreements with both unaffiliated and wholly-owned subadvisers with respect to the Fund, or make material amendments to subadvisory agreements with existing subadvisers to the Fund, with prior Board approval but without obtaining shareholder approval. The Fund is currently operating under a “manager-of-managers” structure whereby PI is permitted to enter into subadvisory agreements with unaffiliated subadvisers and/or make material amendments to subadvisory agreements with unaffiliated subadvisers with prior Board approval but without shareholder approval. The Fund, along with other Prudential funds, have filed an application with the SEC to amend the existing multi-manager order to extend the relief under the current order to apply to wholly-owned subadvisers. Among other conditions, shareholders are required to approve the revised multi-manager structure before the Fund would be able to rely on the amended exemptive relief. The Fund’s exemptive application is currently pending with the SEC, and there is no guarantee that the SEC will grant the requested exemptive order.

Why Shareholder Approval is Being Sought

Section 15 of the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for any person to act as investment adviser to an investment company, except pursuant to a written contract that has been approved by shareholders. For purposes of Section 15,

the term “investment adviser” includes any subadviser to an investment company. Section 15 also requires that an investment advisory agreement provide that it will terminate automatically upon its assignment. As a result, in the absence of exemptive relief, shareholder approval is required in the following circumstances:

· (1) the employment by a fund of a new subadviser to replace an existing subadviser or (2) the allocation of a portfolio of assets to an additional subadviser or the reallocation of portfolio assets among existing subadvisers;

· A material change in the terms of a subadvisory agreement;

· The continued employment of an existing subadviser on the same terms if there has been or is expected to be an assignment of a subadvisory agreement as a result of a change of control of the subadviser.

The 1940 Act does not require shareholder approval for the termination of a subadvisory agreement if such termination is approved by a fund’s Board, including its independent directors/trustees, although shareholders of the fund may terminate a subadvisory agreement at any time by a vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act.

In conformity with Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Fund is currently required to obtain shareholder approval of subadvisory agreements with any subadviser that is affiliated with PI. As noted above, the Fund currently is operating under exemptive relief that permits it to enter into and amend, with prior Board approval but without shareholder approval, subadvisory agreements with subadvisers that are not affiliated with PI. As a result, the Fund is required to obtain shareholder approval of the subadvisory agreements with the New Subadvisers in Proposal 1, since all of the New Subadvisers are affiliated with PI.

Fund shareholders have previously approved the Fund’s operation under a multi-manager structure whereby PI may select one or more unaffiliated subadvisers to invest the assets of the Fund, subject to the review and approval of the Board. PIM reviews each subadviser’s performance on an ongoing basis and is responsible for communicating performance expectations and evaluations to subadvisers and for recommending to the Board whether a subadviser’s contract should be renewed, modified or terminated.

Shareholders are now being asked to approve an amended multi-manager structure under which PI would be permitted to select and manage both unaffiliated and wholly-owned subadvisers pursuant to similar conditions. The kind of changes to agreements with unaffiliated and wholly-owned subadvisers that could be effected without further shareholder approval if Proposal No. 2 is approved include: (1) reallocating Fund assets among existing subadvisers; (2) allocating a portion of the Fund’s assets to one or more additional subadvisers; (3) continuing a subadvisory agreement where a change in control of the subadviser automatically otherwise causes that agreement to terminate; and (4) replacing an existing subadviser with a new subadviser when PI and the Board determine that the new subadviser’s investment philosophy and style, past performance, security section experience and preferences, personnel, facilities, financial strength, quality of service and client communication are more consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

If Proposal No. 2 is approved by the Fund’s shareholders, those shareholders would no longer be entitled to approve the selection of a new wholly-owned subadviser or a material amendment to an existing subadvisory agreement with a wholly-owned subadviser. Instead, as is currently the case for unaffiliated subadvisers, , within 90 days of the change shareholders would receive an information statement containing substantially all of the information about the wholly-owned subadviser and the subadvisory agreement that would otherwise be contained in a proxy statement.

If Proposal 2 is not approved by shareholders, shareholder approval would continue to be required for PI to enter into or materially amend a subadvisory agreement with a wholly-owned subadviser with respect to the Fund, such as the approvals being sought in Proposal 1.

Vote Required

Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as defined by the 1940 Act. For purposes of the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is the lesser of (i) 67% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities represented at a meeting at which more

than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS 16, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED MULTI-MANAGER STRUCTURE.

VOTING INFORMATION

Approval of the Proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as defined by the 1940 Act. For purposes of the 1940 Act, a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities is the lesser of (i) 67% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities.

If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the Proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR the Proposals in favor of the adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted AGAINST the Proposals against the adjournment.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of 40 percent of the shares entitled to vote, except when a larger quorum is required by federal law or the Trust’s by-laws or Declaration of Trust, shall constitute a quorum.

If a proxy that is properly executed and returned is accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote (an abstention) or represents a broker “non-vote” (that is, a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power), the shares represented thereby will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business, but, because the Proposals require approval by a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered for purposes of approving an adjournment of the Meeting.

In the event that sufficient votes to obtain a quorum have not been obtained by the Fund, the Fund may request that one or more brokers submit a specific number of broker non-votes in order to obtain a quorum. The Fund would only take such actions if it believed that such actions would result in a quorum and the Fund had already received or expected to receive sufficient shareholder votes to approve the Proposals at the Meeting. Therefore, shareholders who are against the Proposal should vote AGAINST the Proposals.

The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with your directions as indicated thereon if your card is received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or attorney-in-fact. If your card is properly executed and you give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the Proposals described in this proxy statement and referenced on the proxy card.

The Proposals do not require separate voting by class. Each full share of the Fund outstanding is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share of the Fund outstanding is entitled to a proportionate share of one vote, with respect to each of the sub-proposals in Proposal 1 and for Proposal 2. Information as to the number of outstanding shares of the Fund as of the Record Date is set forth below:

Class A:	[ ]
Class B:	[ ]
Class C:	[ ]
Class R:	[ ]

Class Z:

[ ]

The solicitation is made primarily by the mailing of the Notice, this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about [June ], 2014. Supplemental solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile, electronic means or by personal interviews by representatives of the Fund. All costs and expenses directly related to this proxy solicitation will be paid by PI or its affiliates.

Shareholders voting via the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies that must be borne by the shareholder. We have been advised that Internet voting procedures that have been made available to you are consistent with the requirements of law.

Solicitation of Voting Instructions

Voting instructions will be solicited principally by mailing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures, but instructions also may be solicited by telephone, facsimile, through electronic means as such email, or in person by officers or representatives of the Target Fund. [In addition, Target Fund has engaged D. F. King & Co., Inc., a professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. As the Meeting date approaches, you may receive a phone call from a representative of D. F. King & Co., Inc. if Target Fund has not yet received your vote. D. F. King & Co., Inc. may ask you for authority, by telephone, to permit D. F. King & Co., Inc. to execute your voting instructions on your behalf.] Proxy solicitation costs are currently estimated to be approximately $200,000, which shall be borne by PI or its affiliates.

Revoking Voting Instructions

You may revoke any proxy card by giving another proxy or by letter revoking the initial proxy. To be effective, your revocation must be received by the Fund prior to the Meeting and must indicate your name and account number. In addition, if you attend the Meeting in person you may, if you wish, vote by ballot at the Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

PRUDENTIAL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS 16

Prudential Income Builder Fund

FORM OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

Agreement made as of this day of , 2014 between Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or the “Manager”), a New York limited liability company, and , (the “Subadviser”).

WHEREAS, the Manager has entered into a Management Agreement, dated May 25, 2004 (the “Management Agreement”) with Prudential Investment Portfolios 16, formerly Target Asset Allocation Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and a diversified, open-end, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), pursuant to which PI acts as Manager of the Trust; and

WHEREAS, the Manager desires to retain the Subadviser to provide investment advisory services to Prudential Income Builder Fund, formerly Target Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), which is a series of the Trust, and to manage such portion of the Fund’s portfolio as the Manager shall from time to time direct, and the Subadviser is willing to render such investment advisory services; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

1. (a) Subject to the supervision of the Manager and the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), the Subadviser shall manage such portion of the Fund’s portfolio, including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in its then current prospectus and statement of additional information (such prospectus and statement of additional information as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from time to time, being herein called the “Prospectus”), and subject to the following understandings:

(i) The Subadviser shall provide supervision of such portion of the Fund’s portfolio as the Manager shall direct and shall determine from time to time what investments and securities will be purchased, retained, sold or loaned (other than directing a securities lending program) by the Fund, and what portion of the assets will be invested or held uninvested as cash.

(ii) In the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Subadviser shall act in conformity with the Declaration of Trust, as amended, and the By-Laws of the Trust and Prospectus of the Fund and any procedures adopted by the Board applicable to the Fund and any amendments to those procedures (“Board Procedures”) which have been provided to it by the Manager (the “Trust Documents”), and with the instructions and directions of the Manager and of the Board, and co-operate with the Manager’s (or its designee’s) personnel responsible for monitoring the Fund’s compliance. The Subadviser shall also comply at all times with the applicable sections of the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including securities laws. The Manager shall provide Subadviser timely with copies of any updated Trust or Fund Documents, including a list of Fund affiliates.

(iii) The Subadviser shall determine the securities and futures contracts to be purchased or sold by such portion of the Fund’s portfolio, as applicable, and shall place orders with or through such persons, brokers, dealers or futures commission merchants (including but not limited to any broker-dealer affiliated with the Manager or the Subadviser) to carry out the policy with respect to brokerage as set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus or as the Board may direct from time to time. In providing the Fund with investment supervision, it is recognized that the Subadviser shall give primary consideration to seeking best execution (which may not involve the most favorable commission). Within the framework of this

policy, the Subadviser may consider the receipt of services that affect securities transactions and incidental functions, such as clearance and settlement functions, and advice as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in securities, the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities and analyses and reports concerning issues, industries, securities, economic factors, trends, portfolio strategy, and the performance of accounts, the financial responsibility, and other services provided by brokers, dealers or futures commission merchants who may effect or be a party to any such transaction or other transactions to which the Subadviser’s other clients may be a party. The Manager (or Subadviser) to the Fund each shall have discretion to effect investment transactions for the Fund through broker-dealers (including, to the extent legally permissible, broker-dealers affiliated with the Subadviser(s)) qualified to obtain best execution of such transactions who provide brokerage and/or research services, as such services are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and to cause the Fund to pay any such broker-dealers an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the brokerage or research services provided by such broker-dealer, viewed in light of either that particular investment transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Manager (or the Subadviser) with respect to the Fund and other accounts as to which they or it may exercise investment discretion (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(35) of the 1934 Act), are reasonable in relation to the amount of commission. Pursuant to the rules promulgated under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT ACT, broker-dealers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identities each person who opens an account with them. In accordance therewith, broker-dealers whom the Subadviser selects to execute transactions in the Fund’s account may seek identifying information about the Trust and/or the Fund.

On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security or futures contract to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or futures contracts to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, shall be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.

The Manager hereby agrees and consents that the Subadviser and its affiliates are authorized to execute cross agency transactions for the Fund, provided such transactions comply with applicable laws and regulations.

(iv) The Subadviser shall maintain all books and records with respect to the Fund’s portfolio transactions effected by it as required by any applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations, including the 1940 Act, the 1934 Act and the Advisers Act. The Subadviser shall furnish to the Manager or the Board all information relating to the Subadviser’s services under this Agreement reasonably requested by the Manager in writing and the Board within a reasonable period of time after the Manager or the Board makes such request. The Subadviser shall make reasonably available with prior written notice its employees and officers (or their designees) for consultation with any of the trustees or officers or employees of the Trust with respect to any matter discussed herein, including, without limitation, the valuation of the Fund’s securities.

(v) The Subadviser or its affiliates shall provide the Fund’s Custodian on each business day with information relating to all transactions concerning the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages. The Subadviser shall furnish the Manager each day with mutually agreed upon information in a mutually agreed upon format concerning portfolio transactions, and such other reports in a form and frequency as agreed upon from time to time concerning transactions, portfolio holdings and performance of the Fund. The Subadviser agrees to review the Fund and discuss the management of the Fund with the Manager and the Board as either or both shall from time to time reasonably request.

(vi) The investment management services provided by the Subadviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Subadviser shall be free to render similar services to others. Subject to the Subadviser’s responsibility to the Fund, the Manager agrees that the Subadviser may give advice or exercise investment responsibility and take such other action with respect to other individuals or entities which may differ from advice given to the Fund. Further, the Manager acknowledges that the

Subadviser, or its agent, or employees, or any of the accounts the Subadviser advises, may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of or otherwise deal with positions in investments in which the Fund may or may not have an interest from time to time, whether such transactions involve the Fund or otherwise.

(vii) The Subadviser and Manager understand and agree that if the Manager manages the Fund in a “manager-of-managers” style, the Manager will, among other things, (i) continually evaluate the performance of the Subadviser through quantitative and qualitative analysis and consultations with the Subadviser, (ii) periodically make recommendations to the Trust’s Board as to whether the contract with the Subadviser should be renewed, modified, or terminated, and (iii) periodically report to the Trust’s Board regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions. The Subadviser recognizes that its services may be terminated or modified pursuant to this process in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement.

(viii) The Subadviser acknowledges that the Manager and the Trust intend to rely on Rule 17a-10, Rule 10f-3, Rule 12d3-1 and Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act, and the Subadviser hereby agrees that it shall not consult with any other subadviser to the Trust with respect to transactions in securities for the Fund’s portfolio or any other transactions of Fund assets.

(ix) The Subadviser shall provide annually to the Manager a copy of Subadviser’s Form ADV as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).

(b) The Subadviser shall authorize and permit any of its directors, officers and employees who may be elected as trustees or officers of the Trust to serve in the capacities in which they are elected. Services to be furnished by the Subadviser under this Agreement may be furnished through the medium of any of such trustees, officers or employees.

(c) The Subadviser shall keep the Fund’s books and records required to be maintained by the Subadviser pursuant to paragraph 1(a) hereof in the form and for the period required by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act. The Subadviser agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the property of the Fund, and the Subadviser shall surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund’s request, provided, however, that the Subadviser may retain copies of such records. The Fund’s books and records maintained by the Subadviser shall be made available, within a reasonable period of time following submission of a written request, to the Fund’s accountants or auditors during regular business hours at the Subadviser’s offices. The Fund, the Manager or their respective authorized representatives shall have the right to copy any records in the Subadviser’s possession that pertain to the Fund. These books, records, information, or reports may be made available to properly authorized government representatives consistent with state and federal law and/or regulations, provided that the Subadviser is given prior notice of such disclosure, unless such prior notice is prohibited by law or regulation. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, the Fund’s books and records maintained by the Subadviser shall be returned to the Fund or the Manager upon the written request of the Trust, provided that the Subadviser shall be permitted to keep copies of such records. The Subadviser agrees that, subject to the execution of a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement by and between the Subadviser and the Manager, the policies and procedures the Subadviser has established for managing the Fund’s portfolio, including, but not limited to, all policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations governing the adviser/client relationship and management and operation of the Fund, shall be made available for inspection by the Fund, the Manager or their respective authorized representatives upon reasonable written request within not more than ten (10) business days.

(d) The Subadviser shall maintain a written code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that it reasonably believes complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, a copy of which shall be provided to the Manager and the Fund, and shall institute procedures reasonably necessary to prevent any Access Person (as defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act) from violating its Code of Ethics. The Subadviser shall follow such Code of Ethics in performing its services under this Agreement. Further, the Subadviser represents that it maintains adequate compliance procedures to ensure its compliance with the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. In particular, the Subadviser represents that it has policies and procedures regarding the detection and prevention of the misuse of material, nonpublic information by the

Subadviser and its employees as required by the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988, a copy of which it shall provide to the Manager and the Fund upon reasonable request, subject to the requirements of paragraph 1(b) hereof. The Subadviser shall use its best efforts to ensure that its employees comply in all material respects with the provisions of Section 16, as applicable, of the 1934 Act, and to cooperate reasonably with the Manager for purposes of filing any required reports with respect to the Fund with the Commission or such other regulator having appropriate jurisdiction. The Subadviser shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of Form 13F on behalf of the Fund, unless otherwise directed by the Manager.

(e) The Subadviser shall furnish to the Manager a mutually-agreed upon certification regarding records prepared in connection with maintenance of compliance procedures pursuant to paragraph 1(c) hereof as the Manager may reasonably request in writing.

(f) The Subadviser shall be responsible for the voting of all shareholder proxies with respect to the investments and securities held in the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Subadviser’s procedures, subject to such reporting and other requirements as shall be established by the Manager which may include use by Manager of a third-party vendor for proxy voting administration services. The Subadviser may utilize a third-party voting service and customized policies designed to promote accountability of a company’s management and board of directors to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those of shareholders.

(g) Upon reasonable request from the Manager in writing, the Subadviser (through a qualified person) shall assist the valuation committee of the Trust or the Manager in valuing securities of the Fund as may be required from time to time, including making available information of which the Subadviser has knowledge related to the securities being valued.

(h) The Subadviser shall provide the Manager with any information reasonably requested regarding its management of the Fund’s portfolio required for any shareholder report, amended registration statement, or prospectus supplement to be filed by the Trust with the Commission. The Subadviser shall provide the Manager with a mutually agreeable certification, documentation or other information reasonably requested or required by the Manager for purposes of the certifications of shareholder reports by the Trust’s principal financial officer and principal executive officer pursuant to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 or other law or regulation. The Subadviser shall promptly inform the Fund and the Manager if any information provided by Subadviser in the Prospectus is (or will become) materially inaccurate or incomplete.

(i) The Subadviser shall comply with Board Procedures provided to the Subadviser by the Manager or the Fund. The Subadviser shall notify the Manager as soon as reasonably practicable upon detection of any material breach of such Board Procedures.

(j) The Subadviser shall keep the Fund and the Manager informed of developments relating to its duties as Subadviser of which the Subadviser has knowledge that would materially affect the Fund. In this regard, the Subadviser shall provide the Trust, the Manager, and their respective officers with such periodic reports concerning the obligations the Subadviser has assumed under this Agreement as the Fund and the Manager may from time to time reasonably request. Additionally, prior to each Board meeting, the Subadviser shall provide the Manager and the Board with reports regarding the Subadviser’s management of the Fund’s portfolio during the most recently completed quarter, in such form as may be mutually agreed upon by the Subadviser and the Manager. The Subadviser shall certify quarterly to the Fund and the Manager that it and its “Advisory Persons” (as defined in Rule 17j-under the 1940 Act) have complied materially with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act during the previous quarter or, if not, explain what the Subadviser has done to seek to ensure such compliance in the future. Annually, the Subadviser shall furnish a written report, which complies with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 and Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, concerning the Subadviser’s Code of Ethics and compliance program, respectively, to the Fund and the Manager.

(k) The Subadviser is not responsible for making any securities class action filings on behalf of the Trust or the Fund.

2. The Manager shall continue to have responsibility for all services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and, as more particularly discussed above, shall oversee and review the Subadviser’s performance of its duties under this Agreement. The Manager shall provide (or cause the Fund’s custodian to

provide) timely information to the Subadviser regarding such matters as the composition of assets in the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadviser, cash requirements and cash available for investment in such portion of the Fund, and all other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Subadviser to perform its duties hereunder (including any excerpts of minutes of meetings of the Board that affect the duties of the Subadviser).

3. The assets of the Fund shall be maintained in the custody of a custodian as designated within an agreement between the Fund and the custodian (the “Custodian”). Subadviser shall have no liability for the acts or omissions of the Custodian, unless such act or omission is taken solely in reliance upon instruction given to the Custodian by a representative of Subadviser properly authorized to give such instruction.

4. For the services provided pursuant to this Agreement, the Manager shall pay the Subadviser as full compensation therefor, a fee equal to the percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets (as calculated by the Custodian) of the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadviser as described in the attached Schedule A. Expense caps or fee waivers for the Fund that may be agreed to by the Manager, but not agreed to by the Subadviser, shall not cause a reduction in the amount of the payment to the Subadviser by the Manager. If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, or if the manner of determining the applicable fee changes, in the middle of any month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination or change, as the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination or change occurs.

5. (a) The Subadviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance or bad faith on the Subadviser’s part in the performance of its duties or from its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to waive any rights the Manager or the Fund may have against the Subadviser under federal or state securities laws. The Manager shall indemnify the Subadviser, its affiliated persons, its officers, directors and employees, for any liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be sustained as a result of the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or violation of applicable law, including, without limitation, the 1940 Act and federal and state securities laws. The Subadviser shall indemnify the Manager, their affiliated persons, their officers, directors and employees, for any liability and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which may be sustained as a result of the Subadviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder or violation of applicable law, including, without limitation, the 1940 Act and federal and state securities laws. In any event, neither the Subadviser nor its affiliates shall be liable for any loss or damage arising or resulting from the acts or omissions of the Fund’s custodian, any broker, financial institution or any other third party with or through whom the Subadviser arranges or enters into a transaction with respect to the Fund.

(b) The Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Subadviser makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied, that any level of performance or investment results will be achieved by the Fund or that the Fund will perform comparably with any standard or index, including other clients of the Subadviser, whether public or private.

(c) The Manager expressly acknowledges that the Subadviser is a New Jersey limited liability company and that all persons dealing with the Subadviser must look solely to the property of the Subadviser for satisfaction of claims of any nature against the Subadviser, as neither the trustees, officers, employees nor shareholders of the Subadviser assume any personal liability in connection with its business or for obligations entered into on its behalf.

6. Subject to the right of each, the Manager and Subadviser, to comply with applicable law, including any demand of any regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction over it, the parties hereto shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Fund and the actions of each the Manager and Subadviser in respect thereof. In accordance with Regulation S-P, if non-public personal information regarding either party’s customers or consumers is disclosed to the other party in connection with the Agreement, the party receiving such information will not disclose or use that information other than as necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

7. This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two years from the date hereof only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the

Fund, or by the Manager or the Subadviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ written notice to the other party. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act) or upon the termination of the Management Agreement. The Subadviser agrees that it shall promptly notify the Fund and the Manager of the occurrence or anticipated occurrence of any event that would result in the assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act) of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, a change or anticipated change in control (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Subadviser; provided that the Subadviser need not provide notice of such an anticipated event before the anticipated event is a matter of public record. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and without notice (other than notice to stop trading in the Fund’s portfolio) to the Subadviser upon the execution of a new Agreement with a successor Subadviser.

8. Any notice or other communication required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed duly given if delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, (1) to the Manager at Gateway Center Three, 100 Mulberry Street, 4th Floor, Newark, NJ 07102-4077, Attention: Secretary; (2) to the Trust at Gateway Center Three, 4th Floor, 100 Mulberry Street, Newark, NJ 07102-4077, Attention: Secretary; or (3) to the Subadviser at , Attention: Secretary, with a copy to Chief Legal Officer at the same address.

9. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any of the Subadviser’s directors, officers or employees who may also be a Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust or the Fund to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar nature, nor limit or restrict the Subadviser’s right to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association.

10. During the term of this Agreement, the Manager agrees to furnish the Subadviser at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales literature or other material prepared for distribution to shareholders of the Fund or the public, which refer to the Subadviser in any way (including the Subadviser’s name, derivatives thereof and any logo associated therewith), prior to use thereof and not to use material if the Subadviser reasonably objects in writing five business days (or such other time as may be mutually agreed) after confirming receipt thereof and prior to the distribution of such material. Sales literature may be furnished to the Subadviser hereunder by first-class or overnight mail, facsimile transmission equipment or hand delivery. The Manager hereby approves the use of the Manager’s, the Trust’s or the Fund’s name (and any derivatives thereof or any logos associated with those names) on a representative client list of the Subadviser.

11. The Manager hereby certifies that there are policies and procedures reasonably designed to effect the Fund’s policies and procedures disclosed in its prospectus to detect and deter disruptive trading practices in the Fund, including “market timing,” and the Manager agrees that it will continue to enforce and abide by such policies and procedures, as amended from time to time. The Subadviser agrees, upon reasonable request from the Manager, reasonably to assist the Manager to detect and deter disruptive trading practices in the Fund. Manager and Subadviser agree to fulfill their respective duties under this Agreement in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, both state and federal.

12. In performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Manager shall use best efforts to not share sales data for the Fund with the Subadviser.

13. The parties to this Agreement each agree to cooperate in a reasonable manner with each other in the event that any of them should become involved in a legal, administrative, judicial or regulatory action, claim, or suit as a result of performing its obligations under this Agreement.

14. This Agreement may be amended by mutual consent, but the consent of the Trust must be obtained in conformity with the requirements of the 1940 Act.

15. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

16. The Manager acknowledges that the Subadviser has provided it with a copy of the Subadviser’s most recent Form ADV as filed with the Commission, for its benefit and the benefit of the Trust.

17. This Agreement in no way restricts the Subadviser’s right to perform investment management or other services for any person or entity, and the performance of such services for others shall not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to the Fund. The Fund and the Manager understand that the Subadviser shall not have any obligation to purchase or sell any security for the Fund which it (as investment manager for other clients, or as principal) or its affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any other clients, if it is the Subadviser’s opinion that such transaction or investment appears unsuitable or undesirable for the Fund.

18. Any question of interpretation of any term or provision of this Agreement having a counterpart in or otherwise derived from a term or provision of the 1940 Act, shall be resolved by reference to such term or provision of the 1940 Act and to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States courts or, in the absence of any controlling decision of any such court, by rules, regulations or orders of the Commission issued pursuant to the 1940 Act. In addition, where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act, reflected in any provision of this Agreement, is related by rules, regulation or order of the Commission, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.
