OBJECTIVE

Seeks capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income

Dear Shareholder,

March 22, 2004

 

The stock market slowed in the first quarter of 2004 following its particularly strong performance in 2003, and though the economy appeared sound, some investors still seemed to be watching developments from the sidelines. Given the unsettled global political climate and sluggish job growth in the United States, we can understand that some investors may want to remain cautious. For those with long-term goals, however, keeping assets in short-term savings and money market accounts may be a losing proposition as meager yields will be eroded by taxes, and even low annual inflation will reduce purchasing power. As a shareholder of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds, your broadly diversified asset allocation can help protect you against inflation and increase your chances of participating in economic growth.

 

Whether you are investing for your retirement, your children’s education, or some other purpose, Strategic Partners mutual funds offer the resources and professional discipline of leading asset management firms. Our team of experienced analysts selects firms that are widely respected by institutional and individual investors. These firms have established track records in the specific asset classes and management styles they offer in Strategic Partners funds. Our analysts continue to monitor their performance and their adherence to the investment processes that earned them their reputations.

 

Thank you for your confidence in Strategic Partners mutual funds.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance

 

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund (the Fund) is capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

Asset classes are classifications of investments

Stocks are shares of ownership in a firm. Owners share in the profits after debts are paid, and share in the firm’s appreciation in value. Generally, the prices of stocks vary with investors’ estimates of a firm’s earnings prospects, including the impact of broader economic conditions.

 

Bonds are loans to a company, government, or government agency. They carry a fixed interest rate or one that varies according to the terms specified in the bond. They have a maturity date at which they must be repaid. Generally, bond prices fluctuate with current interest rates and with events that affect the debtor’s prospects of repaying the loan. High yield bonds are also known as “junk bonds.” They are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest, including default risk, than higher-rated bonds.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 1Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. The cumulative total returns do not take into account applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. The average annual total returns do take into account applicable sales charges. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) voluntary fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns would have been lower. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund charged a maximum front-end sales charge of 5% for Class A shares and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Effective March 15, 2004, Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1% respectively for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, Class C shares were subject to a front-end sales charge of 1%, a CDSC of 1% for shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase, and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Class C shares purchased on or after February 2, 2004 are not subject to a front-end sales charge, the CDSC of 1% for Class C shares purchased on or after that date will apply for 12 months from the date of purchase, and the annual 12b-1 fee will remain 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. 2Inception date: 11/18/98. 3The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. 4The Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the S&P Barra Value Index (20%), the S&P Barra Growth Index (20%), the Russell 2000 Value Index (7.5%), the Russell 2000

Growth Index (7.5%), the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (10%), the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (20%), and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (15%). Each component of the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of its asset class. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. 5The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index and the Customized Blend would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund   49


 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company presently consisting of three Portfolios: Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund (the “Fund”), Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund and Strategic Partners High Growth Fund. These financial statements relate only to Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other Portfolios are not presented herein. The Trust was organized as a business trust in Delaware on July 29, 1998.

 

Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), Lazard Asset Management, Pacific Investment Management Company, RS Investments L.P. and EARNEST Partners, LLC are the “Advisers”.

 

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or country.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) 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 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 Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadviser(s); to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued 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. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued with sequence to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily available, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. 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 reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures.

 

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.

 

Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. 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 principal amount due at maturity and cost.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the current daily rates of exchange;

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the fiscal period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund   51


 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Cont’d

 

 

in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the fiscal period. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions

involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

 

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. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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 Fund 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 currencies, which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’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 Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund 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.

 

If an option expires unexercised, the Fund 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 of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. 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 option.

 

The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option that are traded in

the over-the counter market, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

Short Sales: The Fund may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Fund 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 Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. This may be referred to as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the security sold short. Such variation margin is a recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund 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 is less or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

 

Swaps: The Fund 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 Fund enters 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 Fund 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 Fund’s basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including fees. During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

 

Written options, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on debt securities as required, is recorded on the accrual basis adjustment to interest income.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to respective class), unrealized and realized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid semi-annually. Distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

 

Taxes: It is the Fund’s intention 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 its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

Estimates: The preparation of the 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.

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Trust has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI manages the investment operations of the Fund, administers the Fund’s affairs and supervises the Advisers’ performance of all investment advisory services. Pursuant to the advisory agreements, PI pays the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. PI, in turn, pays the Advisers’ fees, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund segments they manage.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .25 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $220,200 and $107,100 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A and Class C shares, respectively, during the six months ended January 31, 2004. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2004, it has received approximately $126,400 and $20,600 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

Jennison, PIMS, PIM and PI are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $800 million and allows the Funds to increase commitment to $1 billion, if necessary. Interest on any borrowings will be incurred at market rates. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .08 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The commitment fee is accrued daily and paid quarterly and is allocated to the Funds pro rata, based on their net assets. The purpose of the SCA is to serve as an alternative source of funding for capital share redemptions. The expiration date of the SCA was May 2, 2003. On May 2, 2003, the SCA was renewed under the same terms and conditions (“May 2003 renewal”). The expiration date of the May 2003 renewal is April 30, 2004. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $150,600 for the services of PMFS. As of January 31, 2004, approximately $26,700 of such fees were due to PMFS. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national mutual fund clearing system. The Fund incurred approximately $30,500 in total networking fees, of which the amount relating to the services of Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”) was approximately $23,300 for the six months ended January 31, 2004. As of January 31, 2004, approximately $4,000 of such fees were due to Wachovia. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2004, Wachovia earned $2,705 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Series”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, formerly Prudential Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund earned income of approximately $82,800 from the Series by investing its excess cash.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of January 31, 2004 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis


  

Appreciation


  

Depreciation


  

Total Net Unrealized
Appreciation


$288,813,517    $51,849,381    $3,942,932    $47,906,449

 

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and amortization of premium. The adjusted net unrealized appreciation on a tax basis was $48,401,811, which includes other tax basis adjustments of $495,362 that were primarily attributable to appreciation of foreign currency, and mark-to-market of receivables and payables.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2003 of approximately $31,935,000 of which $8,507,000, expires in 2010 and $23,428,000 expires in 2011. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such amounts. The Fund elected to treat post-October 2002 capital losses of approximately $6,308,000 as having been occurred in the current fiscal year.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5%. Class A shares purchased on or after March 15, 2004 will be subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Effective on March 15, 2004, all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of 1% and a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first 18 months. Class C shares purchased on or after February 2, 2004 are not subject to a front-end sales charge and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares will be 12 months from the date of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

OBJECTIVE

Seeks current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation

Dear Shareholder,                                                                             March 22, 2004

 

The stock market slowed in the first quarter of 2004 following its particularly strong performance in 2003, and though the economy appeared sound, some investors still seemed to be watching developments from the sidelines. Given the unsettled global political climate and sluggish job growth in the United States, we can understand that some investors may want to remain cautious. For those with long-term goals, however, keeping assets in short-term savings and money market accounts may be a losing proposition as meager yields will be eroded by taxes, and even low annual inflation will reduce purchasing power. As a shareholder of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds, your broadly diversified asset allocation can help protect you against inflation and increase your chances of participating in economic growth.

 

Whether you are investing for your retirement, your children’s education, or some other purpose, Strategic Partners mutual funds offer the resources and professional discipline of leading asset management firms. Our team of experienced analysts selects firms that are widely respected by institutional and individual investors. These firms have established track records in the specific asset classes and management styles they offer in Strategic Partners funds. Our analysts continue to monitor their performance and their adherence to the investment processes that earned them their reputations.

 

Thank you for your confidence in Strategic Partners mutual funds.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance

 

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund (the Fund) is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

Asset classes are classifications of investments

Stocks are shares of ownership in a firm. Owners share in the profits after debts are paid, and share in the firm’s appreciation in value. Generally, the prices of stocks vary with investors’ estimates of a firm’s earnings prospects, including the impact of broader economic conditions.

 

Bonds are loans to a company, government, or government agency. They carry a fixed interest rate or one that varies according to the terms specified in the bond. They have a maturity date at which they must be repaid. Generally, bond prices fluctuate with current interest rates and with events that affect the debtor’s prospects of repaying the loan. High yield bonds are also known as “junk bonds.” They are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest, including default risk, than higher-rated bonds.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 1Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. The cumulative total returns do not take into account applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total return performance quoted. The average annual total returns do take into account applicable sales charges. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) voluntary fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns would have been lower. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund charged a maximum front-end sales charge of 5% for Class A shares and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Effective March 15, 2004, Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1% respectively for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, Class C shares were subject to a front-end sales charge of 1%, a CDSC of 1% for shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase, and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Class C shares purchased on or after February 2, 2004 are not subject to a front-end sales charge, the CDSC of 1% for Class C shares purchased on or after that date will apply for 12 months from the date of purchase, and the annual 12b-1 fee will remain 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. 2Inception date: 11/18/98. 3The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. 4The Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the S&P Barra Value Index (15%), the S&P Barra Growth Index (15%), the Russell 2000 Value Index (5%), the Lehman Brothers

Aggregate Bond Index (40%), and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (20%). Each component of the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of its asset class. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. 5The Lipper Balanced Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Balanced Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average have a primary investment objective of conserving principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock:bond ratio ranges around 60%:40%. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index and the Customized Blend would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund   49


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company presently consisting of three portfolios: Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund (the “Fund”), Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund and Strategic Partners High Growth Fund. These financial statements relate only to Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other portfolios are not presented herein. The Trust was organized as a business trust in Delaware on July 29, 1998.

 

Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), Pacific Investment Management Company, RS Investments, L.P. and EARNEST Partners LLC are the Fund’s “Advisers”.

 

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations and equity securities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or country.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) 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 asked prices, or at the last 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 Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued 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

 

50   Visit our website at www.strategicpartners.com


 

quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations are not readily available may be valued with reference to fixed income securities whose prices are more readily available, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. 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 reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures.

 

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.

 

Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations. 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 principal amount due at maturity and cost.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the closing daily rates of exchange.

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains or

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund   51


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) Cont’d.

 

 

losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is the Fund’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 transaction, 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 on 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 Fund may be delayed or limited.

 

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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest

rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

 

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. The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as required, is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income quarterly, and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

 

Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund   53


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) Cont’d.

 

 

interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or currencies which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’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 Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.

 

If an option expires unexercised, the Fund 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 in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. 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 option transactions.

 

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

 

Short Sales: The Fund may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Fund makes a short sales, 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 Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. This may be referred to as the “initial margin”, subsequent payments known as “variation margin”, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the security sold short. Such variation margin is a recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund 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 is less or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

 

Swaps: The Fund 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 Fund enters 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 Fund 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 Fund’s basis in the swap and the proceeds of the closing transaction, including fees. During the period that the swap agreement is open, the Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

 

Written options, future contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swaps involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Taxes: It is the Fund’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 its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

 

Estimates: The preparation of the 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.

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Trust has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI manages the investment operations of the Fund, administers the Fund’s affairs and supervises the Advisers’ performance of all investment advisory services. Pursuant to the advisory agreements, PI pays the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. PI, in turn, pays the Advisers’ fees, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund segments they manage.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”) regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .25 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $196,000 and $32,900 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A and Class C shares, respectively, during the six months ended January 31, 2004. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to sales persons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2004, it has received approximately $72,700 and $22,300 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

Jennison, PIMS, PIM and PI are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $800 million and allows the Funds to increase commitment to $1 billion, if necessary. Interest on any borrowings will be incurred at market rates. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .08 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The commitment fee is accrued daily and paid quarterly and is allocated to the Funds pro rata, based on their net assets. The purpose of the SCA is to serve as an alternative source of funding for capital share redemptions. The expiration date of the SCA was May 2, 2003. On May 2, 2003, the SCA was renewed under the same terms and conditions (“May 2003 renewal”). The expiration date of the May 2003 renewal is April 30, 2004. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. During the six month ended January 31, 2004, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $70,000 for the services of PMFS. As of January 31, 2004, approximately $11,800 of such fees were due to PMFS. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out–of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of January 31, 2004 were follows:

$168,227,666    $20,519,974    $1,403,178    $75,747    $19,192,543

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis were primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and differences in the treatment of premium amortization for book and tax purposes. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currency and mark to market of receivables, payables and swaps.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2003 of approximately $8,190,700 of which $17,600 expires in 2009, $59,400 expires in 2010, and $8,113,700 expires in 2011. In addition, the Fund will elect to treat net capital losses of approximately $1,384,300 incurred in the nine month period ended July 31, 2003 as having been incurred in the current fiscal year. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such amounts.

 * Effective August 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and accreting market discount on debt securities. The effect of this change for the year ended July 31, 2002 was to decrease net investment income and increase net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share by less than $.005 and decrease the ratio of net investment income from 2.72% to 2.71%. Per share amounts and ratios for the years ended prior to July 31, 2002 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.

OBJECTIVE

Seeks long-term capital appreciation

Dear Shareholder,

March 22, 2004

 

The stock market slowed in the first quarter of 2004 following its particularly strong performance in 2003, and though the economy appeared sound, some investors still seemed to be watching developments from the sidelines. Given the unsettled global political climate and sluggish job growth in the United States, we can understand that some investors may want to remain cautious. For those with long-term goals, however, keeping assets in short-term savings and money market accounts may be a losing proposition as meager yields will be eroded by taxes, and even low annual inflation will reduce purchasing power. As a shareholder of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds, your broadly diversified asset allocation can help protect you against inflation and increase your chances of participating in economic growth.

 

Whether you are investing for your retirement, your children’s education, or some other purpose, Strategic Partners mutual funds offer the resources and professional discipline of leading asset management firms. Our team of experienced analysts selects firms that are widely respected by institutional and individual investors. These firms have established track records in the specific asset classes and management styles they offer in Strategic Partners funds. Our analysts continue to monitor their performance and their adherence to the investment processes that earned them their reputations.

 

Thank you for your confidence in Strategic Partners mutual funds.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance

 

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners High Growth Fund (the Fund) is long-term capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

Asset classes are classifications of investments

Stocks are shares of ownership in a firm. Owners share in the profits after debts are paid, and share in the firm’s appreciation in value. Generally, the prices of stocks vary with investors’ estimates of a firm’s earnings prospects, including the impact of broader economic conditions.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. 1Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. The cumulative total returns do not take into account applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. The average annual total returns do take into account applicable sales charges. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) voluntary fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns would have been lower. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund charged a maximum front-end sales charge of 5% for Class A shares and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Effective March 15, 2004, Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1% respectively for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, Class C shares were subject to a front-end sales charge of 1% for shares redeemed within 18 months of purchase, and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Class C shares purchased on or after February 2, 2004 are not subject to a front-end sales charge, the CDSC of 1% for Class C shares purchased on or after that date will apply for 12 months from the date of purchase, and the annual 12b-1 fee will remain 1%. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. 2Inception date: 11/18/98. 3The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. 4The Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners High Growth Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the S&P Barra Value Index (25%), the S&P Barra Growth Index (25%), the Russell 2000 Value Index (15%), the Russell 2000 Growth Index (15%), and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia,

Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (20%). Each component of the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of its asset class. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. 5The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index and the Customized Blend would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners High Growth Fund   23


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company presently consisting of three Portfolios: Strategic Partners High Growth Fund (“the Fund”), Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund and Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund. These financial statements relate only to Strategic Partners High Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other Portfolios are not presented herein. The Trust was organized as a business trust in Delaware on July 29, 1998.

 

Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), Lazard Asset Management, RS Investment Management, L.P. and EARNEST Partners, LLC are the Fund’s “Advisers”.

 

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies. Under normal circumstances, substantially all of the Fund’s assets will be invested in equity securities, including common stock, securities convertible into common stock and preferred stock.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) 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 asked prices, or at the last 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 Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadvisor, 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 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 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 reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures.

 

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.

 

Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations. 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 principal amount due at maturity and cost.

 

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the current daily rates of exchange.

 

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners High Growth Fund   25


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) Cont’d

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as required, is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually.

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.

Taxes: It is the Fund’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 its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

 

Estimates: The preparation of the 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.

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Trust has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI manages the investment operations of the Fund, administers the Fund’s affairs and supervises the Advisers’ performance of all investment advisory services. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, PI pays the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and accounting costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses. The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. PI, in turn, pays the Advisers’ fees, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund segments they manage.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”) regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .25 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $107,500 and $72,400 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A and Class C shares, respectively, during the six months ended January 31, 2004. From these fees, PIMS

paid such sales charges to broker-dealers which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2004, it has received approximately $86,200 and $13,900 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

Jennison, PIMS, PIM and PI are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a syndicated credit agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $800 million and allows the Funds to increase the commitment to $1 billion, if necessary. Interest on any borrowings will be incurred at market rates. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .08 of 1% of the unused portion of the SCA. The commitment fee is accrued daily and paid quarterly and is allocated to the Funds pro rata, based on their net assets. The Purpose of the SCA is to serve as an alternative source of funding for capital share redemptions. The expiration date of the SCA was May 2, 2003. On May 2, 2003, the SCA was renewed under the same terms and conditions (“May 2003 renewal”). The expiration date of the May 2003 renewal is April 30, 2004. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2004.

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. During the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $138,000 for the services of PMFS. As of January 31, 2004, approximately $23,700 of such fees were due to PMFS. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. The Fund incurred approximately $22,200 in total networking fees, of which the amount relating to the services of

Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia”) was approximately $18,400 for the six months ended January 31, 2004. As of January 31, 2004 approximately $3,700 of such fees were due to Wachovia. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2004, Wachovia earned $1,975 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

 

The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Series”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund, formerly Prudential Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Series is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, the Fund earned income of approximately $56,400 from the Series by investing its excess cash.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended January 31, 2004, aggregated $71,393,940 and $63,576,674, respectively.

 

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of January 31, 2004 were as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis were primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales for book and tax purposes. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currency and mark to market of receivables and payables.

 

As of July 31,2003, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $29,918,800 of which $7,499,000 expires in 2010 and $22,419,800 expires in 2011. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such amounts. The Fund elected to treat Post-October 2002 capital losses of $7,741,542 incurred in the nine month period ended July 31, 2003 as having incurred in the current fiscal year.

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5%. Class A shares purchased on or after March 15, 2004 will be subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Effective on March 15, 2004, all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc.

Class C shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of 1% and a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first 18 months. Class C shares purchased on or after February 2, 2004 are not subject to a front-end sales charge and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares will be 12 months from the date of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $.001 par value per share.
