Dear Shareholder,

September 16, 2005

 

We hope that you find the annual report for the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund informative and useful. As a Strategic Partners Mutual Fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

 

We believe it is wise to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds that cover all the basic asset classes and reflects your personal investment profile and tolerance for risk.

 

Strategic Partners Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds feature leading asset managers not just from a single company but from the entire investment industry.

 

Thank you for choosing Strategic Partners Mutual Funds.

 

Sincerely,

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 Prior Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund (Prior Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the S&P 500/Barra Value Index (25%), the S&P 500/Barra Growth Index (25%), the Russell 2000 Value Index (15%), the Russell 2000 Growth Index (15%), and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (20%). Effective September 2005, the Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (80%) and the MSCI EAEF (20%). Each component of the Prior Customized Blend and the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than based on amounts allocated to various Fund segments as per the Prior Customized Blend. The Prior Customized Blend and the Customized Blend do not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. The target asset allocations may have shifted since the most recent year ended.

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 with the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index, Prior Customized Blend, 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. The Since Inception returns for the S&P 500 Index, the Prior Customized Blend, and the Lipper Average are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. Classes M, R, and X have been in existence for less than one year, therefore the Since Inception average annual total returns for the S&P 500 Index, the Customized Blend, and the Lipper Average are not presented for these classes.

 

***S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to inception cumulative total returns as of 7/31/05 are 17.24% for Classes A, B, C, and Z; and 12.37% for Classes M, R, and X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns as of 6/30/05 are 1.88% for Class A, B, C, and Z.

****Prior Customized Blend Closest Month-End to inception cumulative total returns as of 7/31/05 are 38.63% for Classes A, B, C, and Z; and 15.66% for Classes M, R, and X. Prior Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns as of 6/30/05 are 4.41% for Class A, B, C, and Z. Since the Customized Blend was implemented in September 2005, such information is not disclosed.

*****Lipper Average Closest Month-End to inception cumulative total returns as of 7/31/05 are 44.29% for Classes A, B, C, and Z; and 14.14% for Classes M, R, and X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns as of 6/30/05 are 4.48% for Class A, B, C, and Z.

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation 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 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.

Investment Adviser’s Report

 

 

Market overview

The 12 months ended July 31, 2005, were a good time for investors overall, with positive returns in all major asset classes. The global economy continued to grow, although the pace of growth slowed slightly in Europe and China. China continued to cruise at 8% to 9% growth, pulling along much of the developing world and Japan. The international equity markets generally outperformed U.S. stocks. However, international results for U.S. dollar-based investors were affected by the sharp decline of the dollar early in the reporting period and then by its steep rise in the latter part. Over the full 12 months, the impact evened out as compared with other developed market currencies.

 

There was a slight decline in U.S. long-term interest rates, even as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) pushed up short-term rates. Bond prices move in the opposite direction from interest rates, and the prices of bonds that have locked in a particular yield for a longer duration are more affected by interest-rate changes than those of short-term investments. As a result, longer-term bonds had strong total returns (including both yield income and the impact of changing bond prices) while short-term investors benefited from progressively higher yields. Because of the favorable economic environment, fixed income sectors where credit quality is an important factor, such as high yield bonds, performed particularly well. Nonetheless, investors were jittery about the implications of the interest-rate changes, fearing that the continuing stream of Fed tightenings would hurt the economy in the future.

 

Continuing high oil prices also had both a positive and a negative side. Energy-related stocks surged, driven by very strong profit growth. However, investors were concerned about the impact of energy prices on other sectors. The U.S. automobile industry, in particular, with its dependence on SUV sales and exposure to high labor-related costs, had a sharp drop in profitability and share prices. Other consumer industries, particularly housing, were strong. In the S&P 500, total returns of sector averages other than energy, utilities, and consumer discretionary (which includes the automobile industry) clustered in the 10% to 12% range.

 

Despite valuations (share prices in relation to measures of intrinsic value) that were near historical highs for value stocks, both large-cap and small-cap value stocks continued to outperform growth for most of the reporting period. Moreover, small-cap stocks, which appeared to be expensive relative to large caps, nonetheless substantially outperformed stocks of larger companies.

Analysis of the Fund’s performance

The Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund’s performance for the one year period ended July 31, 2005 is compared with the Prior Customized Benchmark composed of a weighted average of indexes for its various asset classes. The weightings (25% large-cap growth stocks, 25% large-cap value stocks, 15% small-cap growth stocks, 15% small-cap value stocks, and 20% international stocks) represent an asset allocation that is considered appropriate for a high growth balance of risk and return potential. The return on the Fund’s Class A shares over the reporting period was 21.90%, outperforming its benchmark (+18.65%) and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (+16.39%). Including the one-time sales charge on Class A shares, the return was 15.19%. The Customized Benchmark that the Fund’s performance will be compared to beginning in September 2005 consists of the Russell 3000 Index (80%) and the MSCI EAFF (20%).

 

The Fund is one of three Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds. Institutional investment managers are selected as subadvisers for these funds, each managing a portion. Several manager changes affecting the Fund occurred during the period (see chart below).

The replacement of Jennison Associates and Prudential Investment Management, Prudential Financial companies, in segments of this Fund reflects a shift away from using affiliated asset managers in the Strategic Partners fund family. The family will be subadvised entirely by independent asset managers. Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. was added as a small/mid-cap value manager because EARNEST Partners was approaching the maximum level of assets they could manage efficiently

Investment Adviser’s Report (continued)

 

 

under current market conditions. See “Approval of Advisory Agreements” herein for a discussion of the Board’s approval of such management changes.

 

The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark can be analyzed into two components:

 

    Asset allocation decisions—did differences between the Fund’s asset allocation and the asset allocation of the custom benchmark index help or hurt its return?

 

    Asset managers’ performance—did the various asset managers outperform or underperform their asset class indexes?

 

During this reporting period, overweights in large-cap value stocks and international stocks relative to the custom benchmark contributed positively to relative performance. An underweight in small-cap stocks detracted. The overall impact of asset allocation was slightly negative.

 

The Fund’s asset managers, in aggregate, performed very well compared with their respective asset classes. Its large-cap growth and large-cap value stock segments were the largest contributors to the overall Fund’s relative performance. The large-cap growth segment, managed by Jennison Associates for most of the period, outperformed by a substantial margin primarily due to good stock selection. Its holdings in the technology sector did particularly well. The Fund’s allocation to large-cap value stocks, which transitioned from Jennison to Hotchkis and Wiley and JP Morgan, also outperformed its index by a substantial margin.

 

Small-cap growth stock manager RS Investments and small-cap value manager EARNEST Partners also outperformed their respective indexes over the period. The return of the international equity segment of the Fund was in line with its index over the full reporting period because strong performance by LSV and Thornburg made up the ground lost earlier in the period by Lazard.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds

 

 

Strategic policy development

    Each fund’s strategic (long-term) asset allocation strategy is based on research into the historical and expected returns of various asset classes and their associated risks.

 

    We analyze worldwide economic and market factors to arrive at an outlook for the economy and the capital markets. These views guide our decisions about each fund’s equity and fixed income allocations.

 

    We analyze the investment strategies of different asset managers and how they have performed in various economic and market environments.

 

    Each fund uses a diversified mix of asset classes with proven money managers investing in their areas of expertise.

 

Dynamic management

    We make dynamic (medium-term) asset allocation adjustments based on our perspective on the macroeconomic environment, the capital markets, and the investment strengths of the various asset managers. Our asset allocation team draws upon its own research into current market conditions, Wall Street research, and the asset managers’ insights.

 

We monitor changes in personnel, practices, and performance at the various asset management companies. Managers may be changed or new portions added to a fund if we think it will improve the fund’s performance.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 1, 2005, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended July 31, 2005.

 

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden or Strategic Partners Funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

 

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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. 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. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset value.

 

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. 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. Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Cont’d

 

 

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 year, 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 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 year-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 securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the exdividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

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 Sub-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 0.75 of 1% of average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.70 of 1% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and 0.65 of 1% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75 of 1% for the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as the distributor of the Class A, B, C, M, R, X and Z

shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Distribution 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 Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1%, 1%, .75% of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively. Such expenses under the Plans were .25 of 1%, 1%, 1%, 1%, .50% of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively, for the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $337,200 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A during the year ended ended July 31, 2005. 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 year ended July 31, 2005, it has received approximately $166,600, $15,500, $4,300 and $1,500 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X 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 two banks. For the period August 1, 2004 through October 29, 2004, the SCA provided for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA would be incurred at market rates. The Funds paid 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 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 October 29, 2004. Effective October 29, 2004, the Funds entered into a revised credit agreement with two banks. The commitment under the revised credit agreement continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .075 of 1% of the unused portion of the revised credit agreement. The expiration of the

revised SCA is October 28, 2005. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

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. 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. For the year ended July 31, 2005, the Fund incurred approximately $93,200 in total networking fees. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

For the year ended July 31, 2005, Wachovia Securities, LLC, an affiliate of PI, earned $2,062 and Prudential Equity Group, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential, earned $3,856, 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, 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.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended July 31, 2005, aggregated $442,212,977 and $429,910,399, respectively.

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains (losses) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to paid-in-capital in excess of par, accumulated net investment loss and accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments. For the year

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund   47

ended July 31, 2005, the adjustments were to decrease accumulated net investment loss by $940,721, decrease accumulated realized gain on investments by $49,214 and decrease paid-in-capital by $891,507, due to certain tax adjustments pertaining to the investment in Passive Foreign Investment Companies and differences between financial reporting and tax accounting. Net investment loss, net realized gains or losses and net assets were not affected by this change.

 

As of July 31, 2005, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis were $19,532,079 of long-term capital gains.

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of July 31, 2005 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis


  

Appreciation


  

Depreciation


  

Net Unrealized

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

 

Approximately $17,389,000 of its prior year capital loss carryforward was used to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year July 31, 2005.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are not subject to an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC of 5%, which decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class M shares are subject to a CDSC of 6%, which decreases by 1% annually to 2% in the fifth and sixth years and 1% in the seventh year. Class M shares are generally

closed to new purchases. Class M shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class X shares are generally closed to new purchases. Class X shares are subject to a CDSC of 6%, which decreases by 1% annually to 4% in the third and fourth years, by 1% annually to 2% in the sixth and seventh years, and 1% in the eighth year. Class X shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately ten years (eight years in the case of shares purchased prior to August 19, 1998) after purchase. An exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and 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. As of July 31, 2005 Prudential owned 226 Class M shares, 217 Class R shares and 226 Class X shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds—Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund, a portfolio of the Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds (formerly known as Strategic Partners High Growth Fund hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) including the portfolios of investments, as of July 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for all years presented prior to the year ended July 31, 2004, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated, September 29, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds oversees the management of each of the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreements. In addition to determining whether to renew each Fund’s existing agreements, the Board is also responsible for determining whether to approve new subadvisory agreements for the Fund.

 

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met on March 3, 2005 and approved several new subadvisory agreements for the Fund. Subsequently, on May 24, 2005 and June 23, 2005, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met and approved several additional new subadvisory agreements for the Fund and at the same meetings also approved the renewal of the existing management and remaining subadvisory agreements through July 31, 2006, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In advance of the meetings, the Trustees received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. In approving the agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on March 3, 2005, May 24, 2005, and June 23, 2005.

 

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of subadvisory agreements with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund    


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements 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 Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of fund accounting, recordkeeping, and compliance services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Trustees of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Fund’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers; as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements or to replace certain subadvisers, as applicable.

 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadvisers’ portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and each subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and each subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and each subadviser.

 

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by each subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and each subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

 

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its

reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

 

The Board noted that, with the exception of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), none of the Fund’s subadvisers was affiliated with PI, and concluded that the level of profitability of a subadviser not affiliated with PI may not be as significant as PI’s profitability given the arm’s length nature of the process by which the subadvisory fee rates were negotiated by PI and the unaffiliated subadvisers, as well as the fact that PI compensates the subadvisers out of its management fee. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of Jennison, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. The Board did not consider the profitability of the new subadvisers, because their engagements were new and therefore, no historical profitability information was available.

 

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.

 

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadvisers

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research

resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

 

Approval of New Subadvisory Agreements

As part of a proposal by PI to reposition and realign the Fund as part of the Strategic Partners family of mutual funds advised by non-proprietary subadvisers, the Board approved several new subadvisory agreements. With respect to the large capitalization growth “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Marsico Capital Management LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP for the large capitalization growth sleeve. With respect to the large capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management LLC and JP Morgan Investment Management Inc.

 

With respect to the international equity sleeve of the Fund, the Board expressed the view that the sleeve’s performance was disappointing. Consequently, the Board approved the termination of Lazard Asset Management (“Lazard”) and approved new subadvisory agreements with LSV Asset Management and Thornburg Investment Management Inc. The Board approved continuation of the existing subadvisory agreements with Jennison and Lazard for an interim period until the new subadvisers assumed responsibility for managing their respective sleeves of the Fund.

 

Because the existing subadviser for the small capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, EARNEST Partners LLC, was approaching the maximum level of assets that they could efficiently manage under current market conditions, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement with Vaughan Nelson Investment Management as an additional subadviser.

 

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Fund, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and related conclusions relating to the performance and fees and expenses of the Funds, as detailed below. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group was objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Funds in various quartiles over one-year, three-year and five-year time periods ending December 31, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

The Board also considered the Fund’s contractual and actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio. The contractual management fee is computed based on hypothetical common levels of Fund net assets, while the actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

 

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund had achieved performance that was in the first quartile over one-year and three-year time periods, and performance that was in the second quartile over a five-year time period in relation to the group of comparable funds in a Peer Universe. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed over the same time periods when compared against the appropriate benchmark index, the Prior Customized Blend Index (which during the reporting period consisted of 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%), the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (20%)). The Board reviewed the separate performance records of the various “sleeves” of the Fund managed by the different current subadvisers. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

 

The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds provided by Lipper Inc. The Fund’s management fee of 0.750% ranked in the second quartile in its Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and a Customized Benchmark for the Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund (Prior Customized Blend) by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations for Class A shares (November 18, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (July 31, 2005) as measured on a quarterly basis. The S&P 500 Index and the Prior Customized Blend data are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, Class C, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares through July 31, 2005, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower. Since the Customized Blend was implemented in September 2005, such information is not available.

 

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed in the United States. The Prior 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, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (20%). Effective September 2005, the Customized Benchmark is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (80%) and the MSCI EAEF (20%). Each component of the Prior Customized Blend and the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than based on amounts allocated to various Fund segments as per the Prior Customized Blend. The Indexes’ total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The target asset allocations may have shifted since the most recent fiscal year end. The returns for the Indexes would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. These are not the only indexes that may be used to characterize performance of sector stock funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

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. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but charge a CDSC of 1% for Class C shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase, and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the graph and the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Dear Shareholder,

September 16, 2005

 

We hope that you find the annual report for the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund informative and useful. As a Strategic Partners Mutual Fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

 

We believe it is wise to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds that cover all the basic asset classes and reflects your personal investment profile and tolerance for risk.

 

Strategic Partners Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds feature leading asset managers not just from a single company but from the entire investment industry.

 

Thank you for choosing Strategic Partners Mutual Funds.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation 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 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.

Investment Adviser’s Report

 

 

Market overview

The 12 months ended July 31, 2005, were a good time for investors overall, with positive returns in all major asset classes. The global economy continued to grow, although the pace of growth slowed slightly in Europe and China. China continued to cruise at 8% to 9% growth, pulling along much of the developing world and Japan. The international equity markets generally outperformed U.S. stocks. However, international results for U.S. dollar-based investors were affected by the sharp decline of the dollar early in the reporting period and then by its steep rise in the latter part. Over the full 12 months, the impact evened out as compared with other developed market currencies.

 

There was a slight decline in U.S. long-term interest rates, even as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) pushed up short-term rates. Bond prices move in the opposite direction from interest rates, and the prices of bonds that have locked in a particular yield for a longer duration are more affected by interest-rate changes than those of short-term investments. As a result, longer-term bonds had strong total returns (including both yield income and the impact of changing bond prices) while short-term investors benefited from progressively higher yields. Because of the favorable economic environment, fixed income sectors where credit quality is an important factor, such as high yield bonds, performed particularly well. Nonetheless, investors were jittery about the implications of the interest-rate changes, fearing that the continuing stream of Fed tightenings would hurt the economy in the future.

 

Continuing high oil prices also had both a positive and a negative side. Energy-related stocks surged, driven by very strong profit growth. However, investors were concerned about the impact of energy prices on other sectors. The U.S. automobile industry, in particular, with its dependence on SUV sales and exposure to high labor-related costs, had a sharp drop in profitability and share prices. Other consumer industries, particularly housing, were strong. In the S&P 500, total returns of sector averages other than energy, utilities, and consumer discretionary (which includes the automobile industry) clustered in the 10% to 12% range.

 

Despite valuations (share prices in relation to measures of intrinsic value) that were near historical highs for value stocks, both large-cap and small-cap value stocks continued to outperform growth for most of the reporting period. Moreover, small-cap stocks, which appeared to be expensive relative to large caps, nonetheless substantially outperformed stocks of larger companies.

Analysis of the Fund’s performance

The Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund’s performance for the one year period ended July 31, 2005 is compared with the Prior Customized Benchmark composed of a weighted average of indexes for its various asset classes. The weightings (15% large-cap growth stocks, 15% large-cap value stocks, 5% small-cap growth stocks, 5% small-cap value stocks, 40% core fixed income, and 20% high yield bonds) represent an asset allocation that is considered appropriate for a conservative balance of risk and return potential. The return on the Fund’s Class A shares over the reporting period was 11.85%, outperforming its benchmark (+8.06%) and the Lipper Balanced Funds Average (+11.18%). Including the one-time sales charge on Class A shares, the return was 5.70%. The Customized Benchmark that the Fund's performance will be compared to beginning in September 2005 consists of the Russell 3000 Index (40%) and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (60%).

 

The Fund is one of three Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds. Ten institutional investment managers are subadvisers for these funds, each managing a portion. Several manager changes affecting the Fund occurred during the period (see chart below).

Management, L.P.

 

The replacement of Jennison Associates and Prudential Investment Management, Prudential Financial companies, in segments of this Fund reflects a shift away from using affiliated asset managers in the Strategic Partners fund family. The family will be subadvised entirely by independent asset managers. Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. was added as a small-cap value manager because EARNEST Partners, LLC was approaching the maximum level of assets they could manage efficiently under current market conditions. See “Approval of Advisory Agreements” herein for a discussion of the Board’s approval of such management changes.

Investment Adviser’s Report (continued)

 

The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark can be analyzed into two components:

 

    Asset allocation decisions—did differences between the Fund’s asset allocation and the asset allocation of the custom benchmark index help or hurt its return?

 

    Asset managers’ performance—did the various asset managers outperform or underperform their asset class indexes?

 

During this reporting period, overweights in large-cap value stocks relative to the custom benchmark contributed positively to relative performance. Underweights in small-cap stocks and high yield bonds detracted. The overall impact of asset allocation was slightly negative.

 

The Fund’s asset managers, in aggregate, performed very well compared with their respective asset classes. Its large-cap growth and large-cap value stock segments were the largest contributors to the overall Fund’s relative performance. The large-cap growth segment, managed by Jennison Associates for most of the period, outperformed by a substantial margin primarily due to good stock selection. Its holdings in the technology sector did particularly well. The Fund’s allocation to large-cap value stocks, which transitioned from Jennison to Hotchkis and Wiley and JPMorgan, also outperformed its index by a substantial margin.

 

Small-cap growth stock manager RS Investments and small-cap value manager EARNEST Partners also outperformed their respective indexes over the period. The Fund’s core bond segment, managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO), outperformed its index primarily by overweighting non-U.S. developed market bonds, European issues in particular, and emerging market bonds.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds

 

 

Strategic policy development

    Each fund’s strategic (long-term) asset allocation strategy is based on research into the historical and expected returns of various asset classes and their associated risks.

 

    We analyze worldwide economic and market factors to arrive at an outlook for the economy and the capital markets. These views guide our decisions about each fund’s equity and fixed income allocations.

 

    We analyze the investment strategies of different asset managers and how they have performed in various economic and market environments.

 

    Each fund uses a diversified mix of asset classes with proven money managers investing in their areas of expertise.

 

Dynamic management

    We make dynamic (medium-term) asset allocation adjustments based on our perspective on the macroeconomic environment, the capital markets, and the investment strengths of the various asset managers. Our asset allocation team draws upon its own research into current market conditions, Wall Street research, and the asset managers’ insights.

 

We monitor changes in personnel, practices, and performance at the various asset management companies. Managers may be changed or new portions added to a fund if we think it will improve the fund’s performance.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 1, 2005, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended July 31, 2005.

 

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden or Strategic Partners Funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

 

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Fund expenses for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 181 days in the six-month period ended July 31, 2005, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 (to reflect the six-month period).

Notes to Financial Statements

 

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 Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) (formerly known as Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund), Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly known as Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund) and Strategic Partners Growth Allocation Fund. These financial statements relate only to Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly known as 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.

 

The Fund uses investment managers (“Subadvisers”), each managing a portion of the Fund’s assets. The following Adviser changes affecting the Fund occurred during the year (see chart below).

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 Subadvisers, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. 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. 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 Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

 

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

 

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

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Cont’d

 

 

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 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 holding 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 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 as in unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. 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

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Cont’d

 

 

calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the exdividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. 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 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 options written.

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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 and may involve payment/ receipt of a premium at the time of initiation of the swap agreement. 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 Subadvisers’ 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 1% of average daily net assets up to $500 million, .70 of 1% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and .65 of 1% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75 of 1% for the year ended July 31, 2005.

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, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the Distribution 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 Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1%, 1%, .75 of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively. Such expenses under the plans were .25 of 1%, 1%, 1%, 1%,.50 of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively, for the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $398,100 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended July 31, 2005. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to sales persons and incurred other distribution costs. PIMS has advised the Fund that for the year ended July 31, 2005, it has received approximately $230,100, $16,600, $3,100 and 600 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X 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 two banks. For the period May 1, 2004 through October 29, 2004, the SCA provided for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA would be incurred at market rates.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

 

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income and accumulated net losses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to overdistribution of net investment income and accumulated net realized loss on investments. For the tax year ended July 31, 2005, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $513,731, decrease accumulated net realized gain by $597,710 and increase paid in capital by $83,979 due to the federal income tax treatment of net foreign exchange losses, swaps and certain other differences between financial and tax reporting. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change.

 

For the year ended July 31, 2005 the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets was $2,762,905 of ordinary income and $3,114,461 of long-term capital gain income. The respective amount for the year ended July 31, 2004 was $2,191,079 of ordinary income.

 

As of July 31, 2005, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis were $5,894,805 of ordinary income and $11,493,698 of long-term capital gains. This differs from the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to reclass of net foreign currency gains / losses and other cumulative timing differences.

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of July 31, 2005 were follows:

 

Tax Basis


 

Appreciation


 

(Depreciation)


 

Net Unrealized

Other Cost Basis

$242,506,445   $13,359,482   $(2,947,528)   $10,411,954   $797,785   $11,209,739

 

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

 

Note 6. Capital

to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC of 5%, which decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year.

Class X shares are subject to a CDSC of 6%, which decreases by 1% annually to 4% in the third and fourth years, by 1% annually to 2% in the sixth and seventh years, and 1% in the eighth year. Class X shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately ten years (eight years in the case of shares purchased prior to August 19, 1998) after purchase. An exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Strategic Partners Asset

Allocation Funds—Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly known as Strategic Partners Conservative Growth Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), a portfolio of the Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds, as of July 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlight based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years presented prior to the year ended July 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated September 29, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2005, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund   95


Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds oversees the management of each of the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreements. In addition to determining whether to renew each Fund’s existing agreements, the Board is also responsible for determining whether to approve new subadvisory agreements for the Fund.

 

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met on March 3, 2005 and approved several new subadvisory agreements for the Fund. Subsequently, on May 24, 2005 and June 23, 2005, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met and approved several additional new subadvisory agreements for the Fund and at the same meetings also approved the renewal of the existing management and remaining subadvisory agreements through July 31, 2006, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In advance of the meetings, the Trustees received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. In approving the agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on March 3, 2005, May 24, 2005, and June 23, 2005.

 

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of subadvisory agreements with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements are discussed separately below.

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services

 

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of fund accounting, recordkeeping, and compliance services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Trustees of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Fund’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers; as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements or to replace certain subadvisers, as applicable.

 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadvisers’ portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and each subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and each subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and each subadviser.

 

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by each subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and each subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

 

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

 

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative

information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

 

The Board noted that, with the exception of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), none of the Fund’s subadvisers was affiliated with PI, and concluded that the level of profitability of a subadviser not affiliated with PI may not be as significant as PI’s profitability given the arm’s length nature of the process by which the subadvisory fee rates were negotiated by PI and the unaffiliated subadvisers, as well as the fact that PI compensates the subadvisers out of its management fee. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of Jennison, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. The Board did not consider the profitability of the new subadvisers, because their engagements were new and therefore, no historical profitability information was available.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.

 

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadvisers

 

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research

resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

 

Approval of New Subadvisory Agreements

 

As part of a proposal by PI to reposition and realign the Fund as part of the Strategic Partners family of mutual funds advised by non-proprietary subadvisers, the Board approved several new subadvisory agreements. With respect to the large capitalization growth “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Marsico Capital Management LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. for the large capitalization growth sleeve. With respect to the large capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management LLC and JP Morgan Investment Management, Inc. With respect to the high yield debt “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”) and approved a new subadvisory agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP. The Board approved continuation of the existing subadvisory agreements with Jennison and PIM for an interim period until the new subadvisers assumed responsibility for managing their respective sleeves of the Fund.

 

Because the existing subadviser for the small capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, EARNEST Partners LLC, was approaching the maximum level of assets that they could efficiently manage under current market conditions, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement with Vaughan Nelson Investment Management as an additional subadviser.

 

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

 

With respect to the Fund, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and related conclusions relating to the performance and fees and expenses of the Funds, as detailed below. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group was objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Funds in various quartiles over one-year, three-year and five-year time periods ending December 31, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

The Board also considered the Fund’s contractual and actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio. The contractual management fee is computed based on hypothetical common levels of Fund net assets, while the actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

 

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund had achieved performance that was in the second quartile over a one-year time period, and performance that was in the first quartile over three-year and five-year time periods in relation to the group of comparable funds in a Peer Universe. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed when compared against the appropriate benchmark index, the Prior Customized Blend Index (which during the reporting period consisted of a model portfolio consisting of the S&P 500 Index (15%), the S&P Barra Growth Index (15%), the Russell 2000 Value Index (5%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%) and the Lehman Brothers High Yield Bond Index (20%). The Board reviewed the separate performance records of the various “sleeves” of the Fund managed by the different current subadvisers. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

 

The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds provided by Lipper Inc. The Fund’s management fee of 0.750% ranked in the third quartile in its Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. In light of the Fund’s performance, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Prior Customized Benchmark for the Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund (the Prior Customized Blend) by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations for Class A shares (November 18, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (July 31, 2005) as measured on a quarterly basis. The S&P 500 Index and the Prior Customized Blend data are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, Class C, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares through July 31, 2005, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower. Since the Customized Blend was implemented in September 2005, such information is not available.

 

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed in the United States. The Prior 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 Russell 2000 Growth Index (5%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%), and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (20%). Effective September 2005, the Customized Benchmark for Strategic Partners Conservative Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (40%) and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (60%). Each component of the Prior Customized Blend and the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than based on amounts allocated to various Fund segments as per the Prior Customized Blend. The Indexes’ total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The target asset allocations may have shifted since the most recent fiscal year end. The returns for the Indexes would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. These are not the only indexes that may be used to characterize performance of sector stock funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

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. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but charge a CDSC of 1% for Class C shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase, and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the graph and the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Dear Shareholder,

September 16, 2005

 

We hope that you find the annual report for the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund informative and useful. As a Strategic Partners Mutual Fund shareholder, you may be thinking about where you can find additional growth opportunities. You could invest in last year’s top-performing asset class and hope that history repeats itself or you could stay in cash while waiting for the “right moment” to invest.

 

We believe it is wise to take advantage of developing domestic and global investment opportunities through a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds. A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages. It helps you manage downside risk by not being overly exposed to any particular asset class, plus it gives you a better opportunity to have at least some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds that cover all the basic asset classes and reflects your personal investment profile and tolerance for risk.

 

Strategic Partners Mutual Funds gives you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds feature leading asset managers not just from a single company but from the entire investment industry.

 

Thank you for choosing Strategic Partners Mutual Funds.

 

Sincerely,

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 with the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index, Prior Customized Blend, 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. The Since Inception returns for the S&P 500 Index, the Prior Customized Blend, the Customized Blend, and the Lipper Average are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

Fund objective

The investment objective of the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation 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 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.

Investment Adviser’s Report

 

 

Market overview

The 12 months ended July 31, 2005, were a good time for investors overall, with positive returns in all major asset classes. The global economy continued to grow, although the pace of growth slowed slightly in Europe and China. China continued to cruise at 8% to 9% growth, pulling along much of the developing world and Japan. The international equity markets generally outperformed U.S. stocks. However, international results for U.S. dollar-based investors were affected by the sharp decline of the dollar early in the reporting period and then by its steep rise in the latter part. Over the full 12 months, the impact evened out as compared with other developed market currencies.

 

There was a slight decline in U.S. long-term interest rates, even as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) pushed up short-term rates. Bond prices move in the opposite direction from interest rates, and the prices of bonds that have locked in a particular yield for a longer duration are more affected by interest-rate changes than those of short-term investments. As a result, longer-term bonds had strong total returns (including both yield income and the impact of changing bond prices) while short-term investors benefited from progressively higher yields. Because of the favorable economic environment, fixed income sectors where credit quality is an important factor, such as high yield bonds, performed particularly well. Nonetheless, investors were jittery about the implications of the interest-rate changes, fearing that the continuing stream of Fed tightenings would hurt the economy in the future.

 

Continuing high oil prices also had both a positive and a negative side. Energy-related stocks surged, driven by very strong profit growth. However, investors were concerned about the impact of energy prices on other sectors. The U.S. automobile industry, in particular, with its dependence on SUV sales and exposure to high labor-related costs, had a sharp drop in profitability and share prices. Other consumer industries, particularly housing, were strong. In the S&P 500, total returns of sector averages other than energy, utilities, and consumer discretionary (which includes the automobile industry) clustered in the 10% to 12% range.

 

Despite valuations (share prices in relation to measures of intrinsic value) that were near historical highs for value stocks, both large-cap and small-cap value stocks continued to outperform growth for most of the reporting period. Moreover, small-cap stocks, which appeared to be expensive relative to large caps, nonetheless substantially outperformed stocks of larger companies.

Analysis of the Fund’s performance

The Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund’s performance for the one year period ended July 31, 2005 is compared with a Prior Customized Benchmark composed of a weighted average of indexes for the various asset classes that it includes. The weightings (20% large-cap growth stocks, 20% large-cap value stocks, 7.5% small-cap growth stocks, 7.5% small-cap value stocks, 10% international stocks, 20% core fixed income, and 15% high yield bonds) represent an asset allocation that is considered appropriate for a moderate balance of risk and return potential. The return on the Fund’s Class A shares over the reporting period was 16.01%, outperforming its benchmark (+14.10%) and in line with the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (+16.39%). The Customized Benchmark that the Fund’s performance will be compared to beginning in September 2005 consists of the Russell 3000 Index (52%), MSCI EAFF (13%), and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (35%).

 

The Fund is one of three Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds. Ten institutional investment managers are subadvisers for these funds, each managing a portion. Several manager changes occurred during the period (see chart below).

The replacement of Jennison Associates and Prudential Investment Management, Prudential Financial companies, in segments of this Fund reflects a shift away from using affiliated asset managers in the Strategic Partners fund family. The family will be subadvised entirely by independent asset managers. Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. was added as a small-cap value manager because EARNEST Partners, LLC was approaching the maximum level of assets they could manage

Investment Adviser’s Report (continued)

 

 

efficiently under current market conditions. See “Approval of Advisory Agreements” herein for a discussion of the Board’s approval of such management changes.

 

The Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark can be analyzed into two components:

 

    Asset allocation decisions—did differences between the Fund’s asset allocation and the asset allocation of the custom benchmark index help or hurt its return?

 

    Asset managers’ performance—did the various asset managers outperform or underperform their asset class indexes?

 

During this reporting period, overweights in large-cap value stocks and international stocks relative to the custom benchmark contributed positively to relative performance. Underweights in small-cap stocks and high yield bonds detracted. The overall impact of asset allocation was slightly negative.

 

The Fund’s asset managers, in aggregate, performed very well compared with their respective asset classes. Its large-cap growth and large-cap value stock segments were the largest contributors to the overall Fund’s relative performance. The large-cap growth segment, managed by Jennison Associates for most of the period, outperformed by a substantial margin primarily due to good stock selection. Its holdings in the technology sector did particularly well. The Fund’s allocation to large-cap value stocks, which transitioned from Jennison to Hotchkis and Wiley and JP Morgan, also outperformed its index by a substantial margin.

 

Small-cap growth stock manager RS Investments and small-cap value manager EARNEST Partners also outperformed their respective indexes over the period. The return of the international equity segment of the Fund was in line with its index over the full reporting period because strong performance by LSV and Thornburg made up the ground lost earlier in the period by Lazard. The Fund’s core bond segment, managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO), outperformed its index primarily by overweighting non-U.S. developed market bonds, European issues in particular, and emerging market bonds.

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds

 

 

Strategic policy development

    Each fund’s strategic (long-term) asset allocation strategy is based on research into the historical and expected returns of various asset classes and their associated risks.

 

    We analyze worldwide economic and market factors to arrive at an outlook for the economy and the capital markets. These views guide our decisions about each fund’s equity and fixed income allocations.

 

    We analyze the investment strategies of different asset managers and how they have performed in various economic and market environments.

 

    Each fund uses a diversified mix of asset classes with proven money managers investing in their areas of expertise.

 

Dynamic management

    We make dynamic (medium-term) asset allocation adjustments based on our perspective on the macroeconomic environment, the capital markets, and the investment strengths of the various asset managers. Our asset allocation team draws upon its own research into current market conditions, Wall Street research, and the asset managers’ insights.

 

We monitor changes in personnel, practices, and performance at the various asset management companies. Managers may be changed or new portions added to a fund if we think it will improve the fund’s performance.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 1, 2005, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended July 31, 2005.

 

The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden or Strategic Partners Funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.

 

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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 NASDAQ official closing price (NOCP) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. 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 using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. 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. 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 Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset value.

 

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.

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund   71


Notes to Financial Statements

 

Cont’d

 

 

Short-term securities, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 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. Short-term securities, which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotation.

 

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 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 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 as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. 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

 

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund   73


Notes to Financial Statements

 

Cont’d

 

 

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 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 options written.

 

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 OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

 

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

 

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. 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 and may involve payment/receipt of a premium at the time of initiation of the swap agreement. 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.

 

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities: Securities purchased or sold on a when issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a fund enters into such transactions, it instructs the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.

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. Expenses are recorded on accrual basis.

 

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

supervises the Subadvisers’ 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 1% of the daily net assets up to $500 million, .70 of 1% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and .65 of 1% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75 of 1% for the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, B, C, M, R, X and Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Distribution 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 Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1%, 1%, 1%, .75% of 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively.

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $644,500 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended July 31, 2005. 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 year ended July 31, 2005, it has received approximately $315,000, $28,000, $16,000 and $3,800 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X shareholders, respectively.

August 1, 2004 through October 29, 2004, the SCA provided for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA would be incurred at market rates. The Funds paid 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 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 October 29, 2004. Effective October 29, 2004, the Funds entered into a revised credit agreement with two banks. The commitment under the revised credit agreement continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .075 of 1% of the unused portion of the revised credit agreement. The expiration of the revised SCA is October 28, 2005. The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the year ended July 31, 2005.

 

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. 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. For the year ended July 31, 2005, the Fund incurred approximately $141,000 in total networking fees. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

 

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income and accumulated net losses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to overdistribution of net investment income and accumulated net realized loss on investments. For the tax year ended July 31, 2005, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $556,474, decrease accumulated net realized gain on investments by $608,176 and increase paid-in-capital by $51,702, due to differences in the treatment for books and tax purposes of certain transactions involving foreign securities and currencies, certain tax adjustments pertaining to the investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies, reclass on premium amortization of interest rate swap, and differences between financial reporting and tax accounting. Net investment income, net realized losses and net assets were not affected by this change.

 

For the years ended July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes of $2,852,130 and $2,499,468, respectively, was ordinary income. As of July 31, 2005, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis were $643,193 of ordinary income and $33,039,003 of long-term capital gains. This differs from the amount shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to cumulative timing differences.

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

 

The Fund utilized approximately $14,541,000 of its capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are not subject to an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC of 5%, which decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class M shares are generally closed to new purchases. Class M shares are subject to a CDSC of 6%, which decreases by 1% annually to 2% in the fifth and sixth years and 1% in the seventh year. Class M shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class X shares are generally closed to new purchases. Class X shares are subject to a CDSC of 6%, which decreases by 1% annually to 4% in the third and fourth years, by 1% annually to 2% in the sixth and seventh years, and 1% in the eighth year. Class X shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately ten years (eight years in the case of shares purchased prior to August 19, 1998) after purchase. An exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds—Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund:

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly known as Strategic Partners Moderate Growth Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), a portfolio of the Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds, as of July 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years presented prior to the year ended July 31, 2004 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated September 29, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2005, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax Information

 

(Unaudited)

 

We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year end (July 31, 2005) as to the federal income tax status of dividends paid by the Fund during such fiscal period. Accordingly, we are advising you that during its fiscal period ended July 31, 2005, the Fund paid an ordinary distribution for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares of $0.15 per share, $0.06 per share, $0.06 per share, $0.09 per share, $0.13 per share, $0.09 per share and $0.18 per share, respectively, which represents net investment income. Further, we wish to advise you that 100% of the ordinary income dividends paid in the fiscal period ended July 31, 2005 qualified for the corporate dividend received deduction available to corporate taxpayers.

 

We are required by Massachusetts, Missouri and Oregon to inform you that dividends which have been derived from interest on federal obligations are not taxable to shareholders. Please be advised that 10.52% of the dividends paid from ordinary income in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 qualify for each of these states’ tax exclusion.

 

The Fund intends to designate 100% of ordinary income dividends, as qualified for the reduced tax rate under The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.

 

For the purpose of preparing your annual federal income tax return, however, you should report the amounts as reflected on the appropriate Form 1099-DIV or substitute 1099-DIV.

Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds oversees the management of each of the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreements. In addition to determining whether to renew each Fund’s existing agreements, the Board is also responsible for determining whether to approve new subadvisory agreements for the Fund.

 

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met on March 3, 2005 and approved several new subadvisory agreements for the Fund. Subsequently, on May 24, 2005 and June 23, 2005, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met and approved several additional new subadvisory agreements for the Fund and at the same meetings also approved the renewal of the existing management and remaining subadvisory agreements through July 31, 2006, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In advance of the meetings, the Trustees received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. In approving the agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on March 3, 2005, May 24, 2005, and June 23, 2005.

 

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of subadvisory agreements with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determinations to approve the renewal of the agreements 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 Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of fund accounting, recordkeeping, and compliance services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Trustees of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Fund’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers; as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements or to replace certain subadvisers, as applicable.

 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Trust and each subadviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the subadvisers’ portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and each subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and each subadviser. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and each subadviser.

 

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by each subadviser, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and each subadviser under the management and subadvisory agreements.

 

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors,

 

    Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

 

The Board noted that, with the exception of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), none of the Fund’s subadvisers was affiliated with PI, and concluded that the level of profitability of a subadviser not affiliated with PI may not be as significant as PI’s profitability given the arm’s length nature of the process by which the subadvisory fee rates were negotiated by PI and the unaffiliated subadvisers, as well as the fact that PI compensates the subadvisers out of its management fee. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of Jennison, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. The Board did not consider the profitability of the new subadvisers, because their engagements were new and therefore, no historical profitability information was available.

 

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.

 

Other Benefits to PI and the Subadvisers

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Approval of New Subadvisory Agreements

As part of a proposal by PI to reposition and realign the Fund as part of the Strategic Partners family of mutual funds advised by non-proprietary subadvisers, the Board approved several new subadvisory agreements. With respect to the large capitalization growth “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Marsico Capital Management LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP for the large capitalization growth sleeve. With respect to the large capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Jennison, and approved new subadvisory agreements with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management LLC and JP Morgan Investment Management, Inc. With respect to the high yield debt “sleeve” of the Fund, the Board approved the termination of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”) and approved a new subadvisory agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP.

 

With respect to the international equity sleeve of the Fund, the Board expressed the view that the sleeve’s performance was disappointing. Consequently, the Board approved the termination of Lazard Asset Management (“Lazard”) and approved new subadvisory agreements with LSV Asset Management and Thornburg Investment Management Inc. The Board approved continuation of the existing subadvisory agreements with Jennison, PIM and Lazard for an interim period until the new subadvisers assumed responsibility for managing their respective sleeves of the Fund.

 

Because the existing subadviser for the small capitalization value “sleeve” of the Fund, EARNEST Partners LLC, was approaching the maximum level of assets that they could efficiently manage under current market conditions, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement with Vaughan Nelson Investment Management as an additional subadviser.

 

Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to the Fund, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and related conclusions relating to the performance and fees and expenses of the Funds, as detailed below. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group was objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Funds in various quartiles over one-year, three-year and five-year time periods ending December 31, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

 

    Strategic Partners Asset Allocation Funds/Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

The Board also considered the Fund’s contractual and actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio. The contractual management fee is computed based on hypothetical common levels of Fund net assets, while the actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.

 

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund had achieved performance that was in the second quartile over a one-year period ending December 31, performance that was in the first quartile over a three-year period ending December 31, and performance that was in the second quartile over a five-year period ending December 31 in relation to the group of comparable funds in a Peer Universe. In addition, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed over the same time periods when compared against the appropriate benchmark index, the Prior Customized Blend Index (which during the reporting period consisted of 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, and Far East Corporate High Yield Index (10%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (20%), and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (15%)). The Board reviewed the separate performance records of the various “sleeves” of the Fund managed by the different current subadvisers. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

 

The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds provided by Lipper Inc. The Fund’s management fee of 0.750% ranked in the second quartile in its Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Prior Customized Benchmark for the Strategic Partners Moderate Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations for Class A shares (November 18, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (July 31, 2005) as measured on a quarterly basis. The S&P 500 Index and the Prior Customized Blend data are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, Class C, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares through July 31, 2005, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower. Since the Customized Blend was implemented in September 2005, such information is not available.

 

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed in the United States. The Prior 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, and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index (10%), the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (20%), and the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (15%). Effective September 2005, the Customized Benchmark is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (52%), MSCI EAEF (13%), and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (35%). Each component of the Prior Customized Blend and the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than based on amounts allocated to various Fund segments as per the Prior Customized Blend. The Indexes’ total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The target asset allocations may have shifted since the most recent fiscal year end. The returns for the Indexes would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. These are not the only indexes that may be used to characterize performance of sector stock funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

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. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but charge a CDSC of 1% for Class C shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase, and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the graph and the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY

 

on

 

Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants

 

The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

 

    a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided,

 

    a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

 

    periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

 

Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds

 

On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.

 

The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.

 

Audit Services

 

The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

    Annual Fund financial statement audits

 

    Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)

 

    SEC and regulatory filings and consents


Audit-related Services

 

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

    Accounting consultations

 

    Fund merger support services

 

    Agreed Upon Procedure Reports

 

    Attestation Reports

 

    Other Internal Control Reports

 

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.

 

Tax Services

 

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

 

    Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:

 

    Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and,

 

    Sales and use tax compliance

 

    Timely RIC qualification reviews

 

    Tax distribution analysis and planning

 

    Tax authority examination services

 

    Tax appeals support services

 

    Accounting methods studies

 

    Fund merger support services

 

    Tax consulting services and related projects

 

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.

 

Other Non-audit Services

 

Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.


Proscribed Services

 

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

 

    Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund

 

    Financial information systems design and implementation

 

    Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports

 

    Actuarial services

 

    Internal audit outsourcing services

 

    Management functions or human resources

 

    Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services

 

    Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit

 

    Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

 

Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex

 

Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.

 

Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.
