144A | Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Unless otherwise noted, 144A securities are deemed to be liquid. |
NR | Not Rated by Moodys or Standard & Poors |
| The ratings reflected are as of May 31, 2013. Ratings of certain bonds may have changed subsequent to that date. The Funds current Statement of Additional Information contains a description of Moodys and Standard & Poors ratings. |
# | Principal amount shown in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. |
(a) | Variable rate instrument. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at May 31, 2013. |
(b) | Indicates a security or securities that have been deemed illiquid. |
(c) | Indicates a restricted security; the aggregate cost of the restricted securities is $1,165,893. The aggregate value, $1,180,541, is approximately 1.6% of net assets. |
(d) | Standard & Poors Rating. |
(e) | Prudential Investments LLC, the manager of the Portfolio, also serves as manager of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund. |

The difference between book and tax basis is primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and other book to tax differences as of the most recent fiscal year end. |
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2013 in valuing such portfolio securities:

The following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
Bank Loans | ||||

$ | 6,042,023 | ||
Realized gain (loss) |

(1,905,402 | ) | ||
|
|
|||
Balance as of 05/31/13 |
$ | 7,089,953 | ||
|
|
It is the Funds policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair value as of the beginning of period. At the reporting period end, there were 11 bank loans transferred into Level 3 as a result of using a single broker quote and 7 bank loans transferred out of Level 3 as a result of no longer using a single broker quote.
Included in the table above, under Level 3, are securities that were fair valued using pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee, which contain unobservable inputs. Such methodologies may include, but not limited to, using prices provided by a single broker/dealer, the cost of the investment, and the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities.

Notes to Schedules of Investments (Unaudited)
Securities Valuation: The Funds hold 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 (the Board) has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (PI or 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 Funds 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 Committees 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 Funds investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the 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 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 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, 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 models 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 issuers 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 securitys most recent closing price and from the price used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
