Dear Shareholder:

 

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Target Conservative Allocation Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2013.

 

We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

 

A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages: It limits your exposure to any particular asset class; plus it provides a better opportunity to invest some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

 

We are dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risk. We believe our Target Conservative Allocation Fund, which is managed by institutional quality asset managers selected and monitored by our research team, will help you to achieve broad, actively managed diversification at a targeted risk/return balance with a single investment purchase.

 

Thank you for choosing the Target Conservative Allocation Fund.

 

Sincerely,

Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.

 

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. 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%. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. 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%. Class X shares are closed to new investors and are available only by exchange from the same share class of another Prudential Investments fund. Class X shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 6%, 5%, 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 2% and 1%, respectively, for the first eight years after purchase, and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately 10 years after purchase Class X shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis. Class R and Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class R shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75% annually. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. The returns in the tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.

 

Benchmark Definitions

 

Customized Blend

The Customized Benchmark for the Target Conservative Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (40%) and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (60%). The Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of the Fund’s asset classes.

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Conservative Allocation Fund     3   


Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

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 on amounts allocated to various Fund segments. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity. It gives a broad look at how short- and intermediate-term bonds have performed. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 62.47% for Class R and Class X. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.83% for Class R and Class X.

 

S&P 500 Index

The 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 an indication of how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 59.85% for Class R and Class X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.20% for Class R and Class X.

 

Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Average

The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average have a primary investment objective of conserving principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Mixed-Asset Funds are funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 20% and 40% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 50.07% for Class R and Class X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 4.81% for Class R and Class X.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes 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 Indexes are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Class’ actual inception date.

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 August 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended January 31, 2013. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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 Prudential Investments Funds, including the Target Asset Allocation Funds, 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

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Conservative Allocation Fund     7   


Fees and Expenses (continued)

 

 

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.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund may invest.

(1) If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(3) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(4) Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
# Notional Amount is shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

Level 1—quoted prices generally in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2—other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates and yield curves, prepayment speeds, foreign currency exchange rates, and amortized cost.

 

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs for securities valued in accordance with Board approved fair valuation procedures.

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Conservative Allocation Fund     53   


 

Notes to Financial Statement

 

(Unaudited)

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”) as an open-end, diversified management investment company presently consisting of three portfolios: Target Moderate Allocation Fund, Target Conservative Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) and Target Growth Allocation Fund. These financial statements relate only to Target Conservative Allocation 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 (“Subadvisors”), each managing a portion of the Fund’s assets. The following lists the Subadvisors and their respective segment during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation.

 

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: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investment LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation

 

54   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options and swap contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Conservative Allocation Fund     55   


 

Notes to Financial Statement

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

 

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.

 

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, and cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued using amortized cost method which approximates fair 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. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

56   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. 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.

 

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

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Conservative Allocation Fund     57   


 

Notes to Financial Statement

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

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.

 

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 between two parties. The Fund entered 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 and to gain exposure to certain currencies. 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 or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

Short Sales: 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. Dividends declared on short positions open are recorded on the

ex-date and interest payable is accrued daily on fixed income securities sold short, both of which are recorded as an expense.

 

A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received.

 

Options: The Fund purchased and wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund also used purchased options to gain exposure to certain securities and foreign currencies. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.

 

If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on at 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, may have 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. Over-the-counter options involve 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

(Unaudited) continued

 

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.

 

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.

 

With exchange-traded futures and option contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and options and guarantees the futures and options against default.

 

Swap Agreements: The Fund entered into credit default and interest rate swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be executed either directly with counterparty (“OTC Traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a

 

60   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


registered commodities exchange (“Exchange Traded”). Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Upon entering into an exchange traded swap, the Fund pledges with the clearing broker an initial margin and thereafter, pays or receives an amount, known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in valuation of swap contract. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at reporting date, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund used interest rate swaps to maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments and to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (“credit event”) for the referenced party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.

 

The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers. The Fund used credit default swaps on credit

indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased credit default swaps is the notional value of a credit default swap agreement. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection an agreed upon payment throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively increase investment risk to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. These potential amounts will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of the reporting date are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedules of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment and/or performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of

the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified as collateral or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.

 

As of January 31, 2013, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements, which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.

 

Forward currency contracts, written options, short sales, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

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.

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions on sales of portfolio 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 an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to its respective class), unrealized and realized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted 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 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 average daily net assets up to $500 million, .70% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and .65% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75% for the six months ended January 31, 2013.

 

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 R and Class Z shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”), which, together with PIMS, serves as co-distributor of the Class X shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Distribution Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS or PAD. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1%, .75% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, R and X shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through November 30, 2013 to limit such expenses to .25% and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class R shares, respectively.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $12,653 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended January 31, 2013. 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 six months ended January 31, 2013, it has received $7,361 and $288 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class B and Class C, respectively.

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

 

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 invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government investments, for the six months ended January 31, 2013, aggregated $121,825,349 and $129,010,247, respectively.

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of January 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis

 

Appreciation

 

Depreciation

 

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation

$109,330,509   $12,389,858   $(1,341,607)   $11,048,251

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and straddles as of the most recent fiscal year end.

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to taxable years ending before July 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. The Fund utilized approximately $4,868,000 of its pre-enactment losses to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of July 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:

 

Post-Enactment Losses:

   $ 0   
  

 

 

 

Pre-Enactment Losses:

  

Expiring 2018

   $ 3,368,000   
  

 

 

 

 

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, 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%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. 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. As of April 13, 2012, the last conversion of Class M shares to Class A shares was completed. There are no Class M shares outstanding and Class M shares are no longer being offered for sale. 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 monthly basis approximately ten years 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.

 

Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of beneficial interest.

 

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $.001 par value per share. As of January 31, 2013, Prudential owned 252 shares of Class R shares.

Note 7. Borrowings

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period November 15, 2012 through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an

(Unaudited) continued

 

annualized commitment fee of 0.08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to November 15, 2012, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement with substantially similar terms. Interest on any borrowings under these SCAs is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

 

The Fund did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

 

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Dear Shareholder:

 

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Target Moderate Allocation Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2013.

 

We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

 

A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages: It limits your exposure to any particular asset class; plus it provides a better opportunity to invest some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

 

We are dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risk. We believe our Target Moderate Allocation Fund, which is managed by institutional quality asset managers selected and monitored by our research team, will help you to achieve broad, actively managed diversification at a targeted risk/return balance with a single investment purchase.

 

Thank you for choosing the Target Moderate Allocation Fund.

 

Sincerely,

Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.

 

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. 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%. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. 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%. Class X shares are closed to new investors and are available only by exchange from the same share class of another Prudential Investments Fund. Class X shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 6%, 5%, 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 2% and 1%, respectively, for the first eight years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately 10 years after purchase Class X shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis. Class R and Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class R shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75% annually. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Customized Blend

The Customized Benchmark for the Target Moderate Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000® Index (52%), Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE ND Index) (13%), and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (35%). Each component of

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Moderate Allocation Fund     3   


Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

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 on amounts allocated to various Fund segments. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The MSCI EAFE ND Index is an unmanaged weighted index that reflects stock price movements in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It gives a broad look at how foreign stock prices have performed. The Fund utilizes the net dividends (ND) version of the MSCI EAFE Index. The net dividends and gross dividends versions of the MSCI EAFE Index differ in that the net dividends returns reflect the impact of the maximum withholding taxes on reinvested dividends, while the gross dividends returns do not reflect the impact of the maximum withholding taxes on reinvested dividends. These returns do not include the effect of any investment management expenses. These returns would have been lower if they included the effect of these expenses. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity. It gives a broad look at how short- and intermediate-term bonds have performed. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 65.56% for Class R and Class X. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.88% for Class R and Class X.

 

S&P 500 Index

The 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 an indication of how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 59.85% for Class R and Class X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.20% for Class R and Class X.

 

Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average

The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth 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. Mixed-Asset Funds are funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 60% and 80% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 55.31% for Class R and Class X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.00% for Class R and Class X.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes 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 Indexes are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Class’ actual inception date.

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 August 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended January 31, 2013. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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 Prudential Investments Funds, including the Target Asset Allocation Funds, 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

Fees and Expenses (continued)

 

 

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 (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) 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 184 days in the six-month period ended January 31, 2013, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2013 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund may invest.

(1) If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(2) If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(3) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(4) Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.
# Notional Amount is shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

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: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to

transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investment LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options and swap contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities

valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.

 

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, and cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued using amortized cost method which approximates fair 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. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. 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.

 

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.

 

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, as the case may be, under triparty repurchase agreements, 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 of the collateral. If the seller defaults or 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 by delayed or limited.

 

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 between two parties. The Fund entered 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 and to gain exposure to certain currencies. 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 or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. This risk

may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

Short Sales: 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. Dividends declared on short positions open are recorded on the ex-date and interest payable is accrued daily on fixed income securities sold short, both of which are recorded as an expense.

 

A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received.

 

Options: The Fund purchased and wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund also used purchased options to gain exposure to certain securities and foreign currencies. The Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option.

 

If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on at 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, may have 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. Over-the-counter options involve 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.

 

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 invested 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, and to manage yield curve and duration. 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. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

With exchange-traded futures and options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and options, and guarantees the futures and options contracts against default.

 

Swap Agreements: The Fund entered into credit default and interest rate swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be executed either directly with counterparty (“OTC Traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Exchange Traded”). Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Upon entering into an exchange traded swap, the Fund pledges with the clearing broker an initial margin and thereafter, pays or receives an amount, known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in valuation of swap contract. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at reporting date, if any, are listed on the Portfolio of Investments.

 

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund used interest rate swaps to maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments and to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (“credit event”) for the referenced party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.

 

The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers. The Fund used credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. The Fund took an active short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issue’s default by selling credit default swaps. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased credit default swaps is the notional value of a credit default swap agreement. A master netting agreement exists between the Fund and the counterparty which permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection an agreed upon payment throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively increase investment risk to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

 

The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. These potential amounts will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same

referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.

 

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of the reporting date are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolio of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment and/or performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified as collateral or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.

 

As of January 31, 2013, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements, which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.

 

Forward currency contracts, written options, short sales, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Warrants and Rights: The Fund held warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.

 

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 from investment and currency transactions on sales of portfolio 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 an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.

 

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

 

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

 

Dividends and distributions to shareholders which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Taxes: It is the Fund’s intention to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

 

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

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

 

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .75% of the average daily net assets up to $500 million, .70% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and .65% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75% for the six months ended January 31, 2013.

 

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 R and Class Z shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”), which, together with PIMS, serves as co-distributor of the Class X shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Distribution Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS or PAD. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1%,

.75% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, R and X shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through November 30, 2013 to limit such expenses to .25% and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class R shares, respectively.

 

Management has received the maximum allowable amount of sales charges for Class X in accordance with regulatory limits. As such, any contingent deferred sales charges received by the Manager are contributed back into the Fund and included in the Statement of Changes and Financial Highlights as a contribution to capital.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $35,560 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended January 31, 2013. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs. PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2013, it has received $24, $10,556 and $795 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

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

 

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 invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. government securities, for the six months ended January 31, 2013, aggregated $215,564,315 and $231,796,177, respectively.

Depreciation

 

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation

$230,673,447   $35,446,740   $(4,471,460)   $30,975,280

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, straddles and investments in passive foreign investment companies as of the most recent fiscal year end.

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to taxable years ending before July 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. The Fund utilized approximately $10,373,000 of its pre-enactment losses to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of July 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:

 

Post-Enactment Losses:

   $ 0   
  

 

 

 

Pre-Enactment Losses:

  

Expiring 2018

   $ 25,836,000

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, 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%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. 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. As of April 13, 2012, the last conversion of Class M shares to Class A shares was completed. There are no Class M shares outstanding and Class M shares are no longer being offered for sale. 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 monthly basis approximately ten years 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.

Note 7. Borrowings

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period November 15, 2012 through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of .08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

November 15, 2012, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement with substantially similar terms. Interest on any borrowings under these SCAs is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

 

The Fund utilized the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2013. The Fund had an average outstanding balance of $919,571 for seven days at an average interest rate of 1.48%.

 

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Moderate Allocation Fund     85   


Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

Approval of New Subadvisory Agreement

 

Matters Considered by the Board of Trustees

 

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Target Asset Allocation Funds, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, met during a board meeting held on December 3-5, 2012 (the Board Meeting), to consider a proposal by Prudential Investments LLC (the Manager) to change the subadvisory arrangements for the Target Moderate Allocation Fund (the Fund), and to change the Fund’s investment objective, investment strategies, and name (such changes are collectively referred to herein from time to time as the Fund Repositioning). All of the Independent Trustees attended the Board Meeting. In advance of the Board Meeting, the Trustees received materials relating to all aspects of the Fund Repositioning and had the opportunity to ask questions and request additional information in connection with their consideration of the Fund Repositioning. The materials included, among other things, a detailed presentation by the Fund’s proposed new subadviser, Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), of the new investment strategy, simulated portfolio performance information for the QMA strategy compared to actual historical performance of the Fund and benchmark indices, a comparative analysis of the investment management fee rate for the Repositioned Fund (unchanged from the current Fund) and its estimated expenses compared to a peer group selected by Lipper, Inc. with investment policies and strategies similar to those of the Repositioned Fund.

 

At the Board Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the termination of the existing subadvisory agreements relating to the Fund between the Manager and each of the Fund’s current subadvisers (the Current Subadvisers), the execution of a new subadvisory agreement relating to the Fund between the Manager and QMA, and certain changes to the Fund’s investment strategies as outlined above. At the Board Meeting, the Board received oral presentations from representatives of the Manager and QMA and had the opportunity to ask questions and obtain additional information about the Fund Repositioning, including the proposed subadvisory arrangements.

 

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

 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

 

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services currently provided to the Fund by the Manager and Current Subadvisers under the current management agreement and the current subadvisory agreements and the nature and extent of services to be provided to the Repositioned Fund by the

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Moderate Allocation Fund


Approval of Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Manager and QMA under the new subadvisory agreement. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the investment advisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by the Manager and QMA under the new subadvisory agreement.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board noted that the current management agreement had been considered and renewed by the Board in June 2012 as part of its annual consideration of the renewal of the Fund’s investment management agreement, and that it had considered the Fund’s historical investment performance at that time.

 

The Board also considered that it was approving QMA as the sole subadviser for the Repositioned Fund and that QMA would be implementing a new investment strategy for the Fund. Neither the Manager nor QMA manage any single pooled investment vehicle that uses all of the investment strategies that are expected to be used in connection with the Repositioned Fund. As a result, there was no directly comparable investment performance for the Repositioned Fund for the Board to review at the Board Meeting. The investment strategies to be used by QMA in connection with the Repositioned Fund are used by QMA in connection with its management of portions of other registered investment companies and/or pooled investment vehicles. At the Board Meeting, the Board reviewed simulated portfolio performance information for the QMA strategy along with historical performance of the benchmark indices for the Repositioned Fund, noting the limitations of simulated performance as an indication of future results and the differences between the benchmark indexes and the new investment strategies for the Repositioned Fund.

 

Other Matters

 

The Board considered that subadvisory fees are paid by the Manager to the subadviser(s) for the Fund. Therefore, a change in the subadvisory fee rate would not change the investment management fee paid by the Fund or its shareholders. Instead, any change in the effective subadvisory fee rate would change the net investment management fee retained by the Manager. The net investment management fees to be retained by the Manager under the proposed subadvisory arrangement with QMA would be reviewed along with the above-described factors in connection with any proposed future renewal of the Fund’s investment management agreement or the proposed subadvisory agreement with QMA for the Fund.

 

Conclusion

 

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

Dear Shareholder:

 

We hope you find the semiannual report for the Target Growth Allocation Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended January 31, 2013.

 

We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.

 

A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages: It limits your exposure to any particular asset class; plus it provides a better opportunity to invest some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

 

We are dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risk. We believe our Target Growth Allocation Fund, which is managed by institutional quality asset managers selected and monitored by our research team, will help you to achieve broad, actively managed diversification at a targeted risk/return balance with a single investment purchase.

 

Thank you for choosing the Target Growth Allocation Fund.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance (Unaudited)

 

Note: Expected during second quarter 2013 and pending shareholder approval, the Target Growth Allocation Fund will merge into the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund. If shareholders do not approve the proposal, the Fund will continue to operate in accordance with its current investment objective and strategy; and effective on or about second quarter of 2013, Marsico Capital Management, LLC will no longer serve as a subadviser for the Fund.

 

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.prudentialfunds.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 5.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.64%; Class B, 2.34%; Class C, 2.34%; Class R, 1.92%; Class X, 2.33%; Class Z, 1.35%.

Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

 

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%, and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. 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%. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. 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%. Class X shares are closed to new investors and are available only by exchange from the same share class of another Prudential Investments fund. Class X shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 6%, 5%, 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 2% and 1%, respectively, for the first eight years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately 10 years after purchase Class X shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis. Class R and Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class R shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75% annually. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

 

Benchmark Definitions

 

Customized Blend

The Customized Benchmark for the Target Growth Allocation Fund (Customized Blend) is a model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000® Index (80%) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE ND Index) (20%). Each component of the Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of the Fund’s asset classes. The Customized Blend is

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Growth Allocation Fund     3   


Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance, based on the amounts allocated to each asset class rather than on amounts allocated to various Fund segments. The Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges or operating expenses of a mutual fund. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The MSCI EAFE ND Index is an unmanaged weighted index that reflects stock price movements in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It gives a broad look at how foreign stock prices have performed. The Fund utilizes the net dividends (ND) version of the MSCI EAFE Index. The net dividends and gross dividends versions of the MSCI EAFE Index differ in that the net dividends returns reflect the impact of the maximum withholding taxes on reinvested dividends, while the gross dividends returns do not reflect the impact of withholding taxes on reinvested dividends. These returns do not include the effect of any investment management expenses. These returns would have been lower if they included the effect of these expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 65.67% for Class R and Class X. Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.63% for Class R and Class X.

 

S&P 500 Index

The 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 an indication of how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 59.85% for Class R and Class X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 5.20% for Class R and Class X.

 

Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Average

The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents funds that, by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above Lipper’s US Domestic Equity large-cap floor. Large-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P 500 Index. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return as of 1/31/13 is 55.01% for Class R and Class X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return as of 12/31/12 is 4.72% for Class R and Class X.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes 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 Indexes are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Class’ actual inception date.

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 August 1, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended January 31, 2013. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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 Prudential Investments Funds, including the Target Asset Allocation Funds, 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

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Growth Allocation Fund     7   


Fees and Expenses (continued)

 

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.

Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund may invest.

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: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the

measurement date. The Board of Trustees has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investment LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options and swap contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Growth Allocation Fund     43   


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

 

Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.

 

Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, and cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued using amortized cost method which approximates fair 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. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

44   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Target Asset Allocation Funds/Target Growth Allocation Fund     45   


 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

factors, the possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

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 between two parties. The Fund entered 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 and to gain exposure to certain currencies. 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 or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

Warrants and Rights: The Fund held warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions on sales of portfolio 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 an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to its respective class), unrealized and realized gains or losses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted 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 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 average daily net assets up to $500 million, .70% of average daily net assets for the next $500 million and .65% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .75% for the six months ended January 31, 2013.

 

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 R and Class Z shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”), which, together with PIMS, serves as co-distributor of the Class M and Class X shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, 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 or PAD. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.

 

Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1%, 1%, .75% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, M, R and X shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through November 30, 2013 to limit such expenses to .25% and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class R shares, respectively.

 

Management has received the maximum allowable amount of sales charges for Class X in accordance with regulatory limits. As such, any contingent deferred sales charges received by the manager are contributed back into the Fund and included in the Statement of Changes and Financial Highlights as a contribution to capital.

 

PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $43,858 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A during the six months ended January 31, 2013. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs. PIMS has advised the Fund that for the six months ended January 31, 2013, it has received $47, $12,989, and $361 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B, and Class C shareholders, respectively.

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

 

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 invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Portfolio are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, for the six months ended January 31, 2013, aggregated $51,149,730 and $63,134,331, respectively.

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of January 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis

 

Appreciation

 

Depreciation

 

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation

$141,559,999   $29,210,488   $(3,002,347)   $26,208,141

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and investments in passive foreign investment companies.

 

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (”the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 (”post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. Post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to taxable years ending before July 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may

have an increased likelihood to expire unused. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of July 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:

 

Post-Enactment Losses:

   $ 0   
  

 

 

 

Pre-Enactment Losses:

  

Expiring 2018

   $ 36,798,000   
  

 

 

 

 

The Fund elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $456,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (July 31, 2013).

 

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, 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%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. 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 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 monthly basis approximately ten years after purchase. An exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. As of April 13, 2012, the last conversion of Class M shares to

Class A shares was completed. There are no Class M shares outstanding and Class M shares are no longer being offered for sale. 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.

 

Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of capital stock.

 

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $.001 par value per share. As of January 31, 2013, Prudential owned 216.9 Class R shares of the Fund.

Note 7. Borrowings

 

The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $900 million for the period November 15, 2012 through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to November 15, 2012, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement with substantially similar terms. Interest on any borrowings under these SCAs is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

 

The Fund utilized the SCA during the six months ended January 31, 2013. The Fund had an average outstanding balance of $616,429 for seven days at an average interest rate of 1.48%.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

Note 9. Other

 

Based on the approval of the Board of Trustees on December 4, 2012, Target Growth Allocation Fund will merge into the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund during second quarter of 2013. The merger is subject to the approval of shareholders.
