Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)
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 Directors has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to the Manager through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Funds 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. A record of Valuation Committees actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
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 stock, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options 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 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 securitys foreign market and before the Funds normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide 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 adjustment factors are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as these securities have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset value on the date of valuation.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. Where there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuation, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund, a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by Prudential Investments LLC.
Other information regarding the Fund is available in the Funds most recent Report to Shareholders. This information is available on the Securities and Exchange Commissions website (www.sec.gov).
