American Century has entered into a sub-subadvisory agreement with American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (American Century Global), pursuant to which American Century has contracted with American Century Global for the purpose of providing investment advisory services to the Portfolio with respect to the international portion of the Portfolio. In order to reflect the addition of American Century Global as a sub-subadviser to the Portfolio, the indicated sections of the Prospectus are revised as follows:
 




The chart entitled “Investment Subadvisers” appearing in the section of the Prospectus entitled “How the Fund is Managed—Investment Subadvisers” is revised by adding American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. as an investment subadviser to the AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio.
 
The description of American Century appearing in the section of the Prospectus entitled “How the Fund is Managed—Investment Subadvisers” is revised by deleting the existing description and substituting the following new description:

American Century Investment Management, Inc. (American Century) has been providing investment advisory services to investment companies and institutional clients since 1958. As of December 31, 2006, American Century and its affiliates managed assets totaling approximately $103.2 billion. American Century Global Investment Management (American Century Global), an affiliate of American Century, also provides investment advisory services.
 
The discussion of portfolio managers for the American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio appearing in the section of the Prospectus entitled “How the Fund is Managed— Portfolio Managers” is revised by deleting the fourth paragraph and replacing it with the following:

Responsibility for research, security selection and portfolio construction for specified portions of the AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio will be allocated among portfolio teams from American Century and American Century Global that represent various investment disciplines.

AST First Trust Balanced Target Portfolio
AST First Trust Capital Appreciation Target Portfolio
 
The first full paragraph on page 32 of the Prospectus appearing in the section entitled “Asset Allocation Portfolios: Investment Objectives & Principal Strategies of the Portfolios–AST First Trust Capital Appreciation Portfolio and AST First Trust Balanced Target Portfolio” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
Initially, each Portfolio will invest in securities determined by the model based on its six respective investment strategies. On or about the annual security selection date (March 1), each Portfolio will establish both the percentage allocations among the six investment strategies and the percentage allocation of each security’s position within each of the five investment strategies that invest primarily in equity securities (each, an “Equity Strategy” and collectively, the “Equity Strategies”). First Trust reserves the right to over-weight, under-weight, or exclude certain companies from the holdings of either Portfolio. A more complete description of the investment strategy of each Portfolio is included in this Prospectus under “More Detailed Information About How the Portfolios Invest.”
 
The first full paragrapgh on page 127 of the Prospectus appearing in the section of the Prospectus entitled “MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON HOW THE PORTFOLIOS INVEST–Investment Objectives & Policies– AST First Trust Capital Appreciation Portfolio and AST First Trust Balanced Target Portfolio” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
General. Each Portfolio allocates its assets across six uniquely specialized investment strategies. Initially, each Portfolio will invest in the securities determined by the model based on its six respective investment strategies. On or about the annual security selection date (March 1), each Portfolio will establish both percentage allocations among the six investment strategies and the percentage allocation of each security’s position within each Equity Strategy. First Trust reserves the right to over-weight, under-weight, or exclude certain companies from the holdings of either Portfolio. The percentage allocations among the six investment strategies at each annual security selection date are approximately as follows:




The sub-section of the Prospectus entitled “MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON HOW THE PORTFOLIOS INVEST– Investment Objectives & Policies—AST First Trust Capital Appreciation Portfolio and AST First Trust Balanced Target Portfolio— Investment Strategies for the Portfolios—Dow Jones Income” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 
In selecting securities for this strategy, First Trust follows an investment strategy that invests in securities identified by applying certain screens to the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index. This strategy emphasizes high credit quality, liquidity, diversification, issuer fundamentals, and duration management.
     
 
Step 1: Begin with the universe of bonds that comprise the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index on or about the applicable security selection date. The Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index identifies bonds with an investment-grade credit rating of no less than Baa3 as rated by Moody’s Investors Service (or rated of similar quality by another rating agency).
     
  Step 2: For liquidity, eliminate each bond that does not have at least $350 million principal amount in outstanding issuance.
     
  Step 3: Eliminate bonds based on proprietary factors including issuer fundamentals and diversification.
     
  Step 4: Bonds satisfying the above 3 steps are weighted across multiple sectors and maturity bands of the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index.
     
 
Step 5: Bonds are then selected based on availability and relative value compared to similar quality bonds within the investment grade universe. Due to poor liquidity or lack of availability, like-bonds that are not components of the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index may be selected within the investment grade universe that have similar characteristics as the bonds identified through steps 1-4.

In the event a bond identified by the process described above is exempted from the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index, First Trust may continue its investment in such bond or may identify an alternative bond from the Dow Jones Corporate Bond Index.

Each holding is monitored and evaluated for potential credit downgrades/upgrades and issue-specific business fundamentals, and the portfolio is monitored for interest rate sensitivity through optimal duration management.

AST Small-Cap Value Portfolio
 
The first paragraph of the discussion appearing in the section of the prospectus entitled “Risk/Return Summary” on page 13 of the prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following new paragraph:

The Portfolio will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its assets in small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies are generally defined as stocks of companies with market capitalizations that are within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Value Index. As of January 31, 2007, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Value Index was $82 million to $3.4 billion.

AST Neuberger Berman Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio
 
The second paragraph of the discussion appearing in the section of the prospectus entitled “More Detailed Information on How the Portfolios Invest” on page 103 of the prospectus is hereby revised by deleting in its entirety the first sentence of the paragraph.

Dear Contract Holder:

At Prudential, we are committed to helping you achieve and sustain financial success. We hope that the semi-annual report for Advanced Series Trust serves as an informative and valuable resource for you.

We also would like to remind you about the benefits of diversifying the investments within your portfolio. Diversification helps you manage downside risk as it ensures that you are not overly invested in any particular asset class. In addition, it helps position your investments when asset classes rotate in and out of favor. Not only is diversifying your portfolio the best way of balancing risk and return, it also can help align your long-term goals with your tolerance for risk. The result is a portfolio that may help you weather market fluctuations and more closely meet your long-term needs.

Contact your financial professional to take the first step in creating a diversified investment plan. A carefully chosen and broad mix of assets—reviewed periodically over time—can help you stay focused on meeting your long-term objectives.

Thank you for selecting our products. Your financial security is our first priority, and we value the opportunity to help you grow and protect your wealth.

Sincerely,


David R. Odenath, Jr.
President,
Advanced Series Trust

FEES AND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

As a contract owner investing in Portfolios of the Fund through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. 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 investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year 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 Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. Accounting Policies
 
 
The following accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such policies are consistently followed by the Trust and the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.
   
 
Security Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price provided by Nasdaq. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by the co-managers, in consultation with the subadviser(s), to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange. Futures contracts and

B3




 
options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Portfolio’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustees’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation 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. As of June 30, 2007, Advanced Strategies, American Century Strategic Allocation, Federated Aggressive Growth, First Trust Balanced Target, First Trust Capital Appreciation Target, International Growth, International Value, JPMorgan International Equity, MFS Global Equity, MFS Growth, T. Rowe Price Asset Allocation, and T. Rowe Price Natural Resources held foreign securities whose value required adjustment in accordance with such procedures.
 
 
Investments in mutual funds, excluding exchange traded funds, are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation. Money Market uses amortized cost to value short-term securities. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities that are held in the non-money market Portfolios which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations and those short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
 
 
Restricted and Illiquid Securities: Subject to guidelines adopted by the Trustees of the Trust, each Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities (except for Money Market, which is limited to 10% of net assets, and AllianceBernstein Core Value and AllianceBernstein Managed Index 500, which are limited to 5% of their respective net assets). Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued the investment. Therefore, a Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Portfolio’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Trustees of the Trust. However, the liquidity of a Portfolio’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
 
 
Foreign Currency Translation: Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based on current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Portfolio securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
 
 
Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currencies and foreign currency contracts gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Portfolio securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

B4




 
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. Certain Portfolios, as defined in the prospectus, enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. 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 or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
 
Options: The Portfolios (except for Money Market) may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Portfolio currently owns or intends to purchase. The Portfolio’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 Portfolio purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Portfolio 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 Portfolio realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on written options transactions.
 
 
The Portfolio, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. The Portfolio, as purchaser of an over-the-counter option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
 
When a Portfolio writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Portfolio will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.
 
 
Floating-Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held: Certain Portfolios may invest in inverse floating rate securities (“inverse floaters”) that pay interest at a rate that varies inversely with benchmarked short-term interest rates. Certain of these securities may be leveraged, whereby the interest rate varies inversely at a multiple of the change in short-term rates. As interest rates rise, inverse floaters provide less current income. The price of such securities is generally more volatile than comparable fixed rate securities.
 
 
When the Portfolios enter into agreements to create inverse floaters and floater note securities (also known as Tender Option Bond Transactions), the Portfolios transfer a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time the Portfolios buy (receive) a residual interest in a trust (the “trust”) set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (inverse floaters). Generally, the broker deposits a fixed rate bond (the “fixed rate bond”) into the trust with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Portfolio. The trust also issues floating rate notes (“floating rate notes”) which are sold to third parties. The floating rate notes have interest rates that reset weekly. The inverse floater held by the Portfolio gives the Portfolio the right (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the fixed rate bond held by the trust to the Portfolio thereby collapsing the trust. In accordance with FAS Statement No.140, the Portfolio’s account for the transaction described above as funded leverage by including the fixed rate bond in its Portfolio of Investments, and accounts for the floating rate notes as a liability under the caption “payable for floating rate notes issued” in the Portfolio’s “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.”

B5




 
The Portfolio’s investment policies and restrictions permit investments in inverse floating rate securities. Inverse floaters held by the Portfolio are securities exempt from registration under Rules 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
 
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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedged assets.
 
 
Short Sales: Certain Portfolios of the Trust may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Portfolio may also sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Portfolio 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 Portfolio may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. The fee may be referred to as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the security sold short. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. A gain, limited to the price at which the Portfolio sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited as to dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.
 
 
Loan Participations: Certain Portfolios may invest in loan participations. When the Portfolio purchases a loan participation, the Portfolio typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the borrower, the Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Portfolio and the borrower. The Portfolio may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan in which it has purchased the loan participant.
 
 
Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is each Portfolio’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 transactions, 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 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 Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
 
 
Swap Agreements: The Portfolios may enter into interest rate swap agreements, forward swap spread lock agreements, credit default swap agreements and total return swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap agreement, one party (the protection buyer) makes 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 by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The maximum amount of the payment may equal the notional, at par, of the underlying index or security as a result of a default (or “credit event”). In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, the Portfolios could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that the Portfolios may be unable to close out their positions at the same time or at the same price as if they had purchased comparable publicly

B6




 
traded securities, or that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform. The Portfolios may enter swap agreements as either the protection buyer or protection seller. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Portfolio are recorded as realized gains or losses. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments. Some Portfolios may enter into total return swaps to manage their exposure to a security or an index. In a total return swap, cash flows are exchanged based on a commitment by one party to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The market-linked return may include, among other things, the total return of a security or an index. These agreements involve elements of credit and market risk. Risks include the possibility that no liquid market exists for these obligations, the counterparty may default on its obligation, or unfavorable changes may exist in the security or index underlying the swap.
 
 
Risk: Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements may involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Lower rated or non-investment grade (i.e., high yield) securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.
 
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions: Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Portfolio has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Portfolio does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
 
 
Security Loans: The Portfolios may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. Security loans are limited to 331/3% of the total assets of the respective portfolio. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolios. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolios have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Portfolios recognize income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Portfolios also continue to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.
 
 
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. The Trust’s expenses are allocated to the respective Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets except for expenses that are charged directly at the portfolio level.
 
 
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio in the Trust is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolios are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. Federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolios are the responsibility of their partners. The Portfolios are not subject to tax. Partners of each Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items.
 
 
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually by all Portfolios other than Money Market. In the case of Money Market, dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually. These dividends and distributions are determined in

B7




 
accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
   
 
Estimates: The preparation of 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.

6. Effective Information
   
 

After January 2, 2006, all Portfolios are treated as partnerships for tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions paid by the partnerships is generally classified as return of capital nontaxable distributions. Every year each partner will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.

   
 

Prior to January 2, 2006 each Portfolio, with the exception of Aggressive Asset Allocation, Balanced Asset Allocation, Capital Growth Allocation, Conservative Assets Allocation, Preservation Asset Allocation, Advanced Strategies, First Trust Balanced Target and the First Trust Capital Appreciation Target, qualified as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and distributed all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax has been made.

   
 

Income and capital gains of the Portfolios are determined in accordance with both tax regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Prior to being structured as partnerships for tax purposes, such determinations may have resulted in temporary and permanent differences between tax basis earnings and earnings reported for financial statement purposes.

   
 

With respect to the Portfolios, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of each Portfolio’s adoption of a mark-to-market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate its fair market value. See Note 10 below regarding “Change in Federal Income Tax Status and Related Reorganization.”

   
7. Line of Credit
   
 

The Portfolios (excluding Money Market) and other affiliated funds participate in a $500 million unsecured, committed line of credit, provided by PNC Bank and The Bank of New York, under a line of credit agreement. Under the terms, borrowings may be made for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Any borrowings must be repaid within 30 days of their receipt. Interest is charged to each Portfolio, based on its borrowings, at a premium above the Federal Funds Rate. In addition, a commitment fee, equal to an annual rate of 0.07% of the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is allocated among the participants at the end of each quarter.

  T. Rowe Price Natural Resources     4,933,333     5.73 %     9          
                                   

8. Capital
   
 

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust’s Board of Trustees to issue multiple classes of shares, and within each class, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a par value of $.001 per share.

   
9. Ownership
   
 

As of June 30, 2007, more than 99% of each Portfolio was owned of record by ASLAC on behalf of the owners of the variable insurance products issued by ASLAC.

   
10. Change in Federal Income Tax Status and Related Reorganization
   
 

On January 2, 2006, each Portfolio of the Trust (with the exception of Aggressive Asset Allocation, Balanced Asset Allocation, Capital Growth Asset Allocation, Conservative Asset Allocation, Preservation Asset Allocation, Advanced Strategies, First Trust Balanced Target, and First Trust Capital Appreciation Target) elected to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to this election, each Portfolio contemporaneously liquidated its corporate structure and reformed itself as a partnership. Subsequent to January 2, 2006, each Portfolio’s income, gains, losses and credits will be allocated directly to its partners and will retain the same character for federal income tax purposes.

   
 

The Investment objective, policies, restrictions, net asset values per share, service providers, fiscal years, and investment portfolios of the Portfolios have not changed. In addition, the Trust obtained opinions of counsel that the change in the tax status and the related reorganization had no adverse federal income tax consequences for the Portfolios or Contract owners.

   
11. New Accounting Pronouncements
   
 

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Portfolio’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The impact of the tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded in the year in which they arise. On December 22, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the effective date until the last net asset value calculation in the first required financial reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Portfolios’ financial statements have not been impacted by the adoption of FIN 48. However, the conclusions regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including but not limited to, further implementation guidance expected from FASB, and on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

B14




 

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, in the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares on the first day and a sale on the last day of each period reported and includes reinvestment of dividends and distributions and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns for all periods shown. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total investment returns may reflect adjustments to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Total returns for periods of less than one full year are not annualized.

Advanced Series Trust
(formerly, American Skandia Trust)

Approval of Advisory Agreements

Introduction

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Advanced Series Trust (formerly, American Skandia Trust) (the “Trust”) oversees the management of each of the Trust’s Portfolios, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Trust’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and AST Investment Services, Inc. (formerly, American Skandia Investment Services, Inc.) (“ASTI”) and each Portfolio’s subadvisory agreement(s). The Board is also responsible for the consideration and approval of any new advisory agreements.

As is further explained and discussed below, at several meetings of the Board held during the six-month period covered by this semi-annual shareholder report, the Board approved the renewal of the Trust’s existing management and subadvisory agreements with respect to the existing Portfolios of the Trust, and approved new subadvisory agreements with respect to three of the Portfolios of the Trust. In addition, the Board also approved amendments to the management agreement and approved several new subadvisory agreements in connection with the Board’s approval of the creation of several new Portfolios of the Trust.

All Portfolios: Renewal of Existing Management & Subadvisory Agreements

The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, met on June 19-21, 2007 and approved the renewal of the existing management and subadvisory agreements through July 31, 2008, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of each of the Trust’s Portfolios and their shareholders.

In advance of the meetings, the Trustees received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. In approving the agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of each Portfolio of the Trust, the profitability of PI and ASTI and their affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with each Portfolio and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor that was dispositive and each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI and ASTI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the June 2007 meetings.

The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and PI and ASTI (hereinafter jointly referred to as “PI”), which serve as the Trust’s co-investment managers pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and each subadviser, each of which serves pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

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

Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Trust by PI and each subadviser. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadvisers, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadvisers, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), a business unit of PI, is responsible for screening and recommending new subadvisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the subadvisers. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Trustees of the Trust. The Board also



considered the investment subadvisory services provided by each subadviser, as well as compliance with the Trust’s investment restrictions, policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadvisers; as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadvisers, to renew the subadvisory agreements, or to replace certain subadvisers, as applicable.

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

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

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Trust’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of PIM, which is an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was included in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.

The Board concluded that the level of profitability of a subadviser not affiliated with PI may not be as significant as PI’s profitability given the arm’s length nature of the process by which the subadvisory fee rates were negotiated by PI and the unaffiliated subadvisers, as well as the fact that PI compensates the subadvisers out of its management fee.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Portfolios of the Trust generally does not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels, with the exception of the AST JP Morgan International Equity Portfolio, the AST Neuberger Berman Mid -Cap Growth Portfolio, the AST Neuberger Berman Mid-Cap Value Portfolio and the AST T. Rowe Price Large-Cap Growth Portfolio. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Portfolio’s assets grow beyond current levels. However, because of the nature of PI’s business, the Board could not reach definitive conclusions as to whether PI might realize economies of scale on a particular Portfolio or how great they may be. In light of each Portfolio’s current size and fee rate, the Board concluded that the absence of breakpoints is acceptable at this time.

With respect to the AST Neuberger Berman Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio and the AST T. Rowe Price Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee schedule includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets these Portfolios do not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board took note, however, that the Portfolios’ fee structures would result in benefits to Portfolio shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which their fee rates are reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.



With respect to the AST JP Morgan International Equity Portfolio and the AST Neuberger Berman Mid Cap Value Portfolio, the Board noted that the management fee schedule for each Portfolio includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, and that at its current level of assets the Portfolios’ effective fee rates reflected some of those rate reductions.

Other Benefits to PI and The Subadvisers

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI, the subadvisers, and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Trust. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, compensation received by insurance company affiliates of PI from the subadvisers, as well as reputational or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Trust. The Board also considered information provided by PI regarding the regulatory requirement that insurance companies determine that the fees and charges under their variable contracts are reasonable. The Board noted that the insurance company affiliates of PI at least annually review and represent that the fees and charges of the variable products using the Trust’s Portfolios are reasonable. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by the subadvisers included the ability to use soft dollar credits, brokerage commissions received by affiliates of the subadvisers, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and reputational benefits. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and the subadvisers were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

Performance of the Portfolios / Fees and Expenses / Other Factors

With respect to each Portfolio of the Trust, the Board also considered certain additional specific factors and related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Portfolios (depending on each Portfolio’s inception date) for one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ending December 31, 2006, as well as fees and expenses of the Portfolios during calendar year 2006, as detailed below. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Portfolios of the Trust in various quartiles, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).

The Board also considered each Portfolio’s contractual and actual management fee, as well as each Portfolio’s net total expense ratio. The Board considered the management fee for each Portfolio as compared to the advisory fee charged by PI to other funds and accounts and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The contractual management fee is computed based on hypothetical common levels of Portfolio net assets, while the actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Portfolio shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for each Portfolio represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Portfolio shareholders, but does not include the charges associated with variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts.

In connection with its consideration of Portfolio expenses, the Board considered and accepted PI’s recommendation to continue to voluntarily waive 0.03% of the existing 0.10% administrative services fee paid by each of the Trust’s Portfolios, with the exception of the AST Asset Allocation Portfolios (which do not pay the administrative services fee). As further detailed below, the Board also considered and accepted PI’s proposals to modify or eliminate existing management fee waivers and/or expense caps for selected Portfolios to adjust expense ratios for selected Portfolios.

AST AllianceBernstein Core Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the first quartile over the one-year, three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against its benchmark index over the three-year and five-year periods, but further noted that the index had proven to be very difficult to outperform, with over 90% of the investment managers in the Peer Universe having failed to outperform against the index over the prior five year period. The Board determined that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.



The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.750% was in the third quartile. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.25%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. In light of the Portfolio’s strong performance record, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST AllianceBernstein Growth & Income Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year and three-year periods, in the fourth quartile over a five-year period, and in the second quartile over a ten-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board also noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against the benchmark index over the past five years. The Board noted that most of the mutual funds included in the Peer Universe had been unable to return performance above the Portfolio’s benchmark index. The Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance and to approve the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.734% ranked in the second quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.25%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST AllianceBernstein Managed Index 500 Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year, three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board also noted that the Portfolio underperformed against its benchmark index over the same fiveyear period. The Board noted, however, PI’s assertion that because the Portfolio closely tracks the S&P 500 Index, during periods when the S&P 500 stocks perform poorly in comparison to the Peer Universe, as was the case during 2005 and 2006, the Portfolio will perform poorly in comparison with the Peer Universe during those periods. The Board also noted PI’s assertion that the subadviser’s investments in large capitalization growth stocks during 2005 and 2006 detracted from performance, since large cap growth stocks were out of favor in the market during these years. Consequently, the Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance and to approve the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.600% ranked in the second quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 0.80%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST American Century Income & Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the first quartile over the one-year, three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Portfolio also outperformed against its benchmark index over the same time periods. The Board determined that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.750% ranked in the second quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.25%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio (formerly, AST American Century Strategic Balanced Portfolio). The Board noted that it had previously approved investment policy changes for the Portfolio that had become effective in May 2007, which resulted in the Portfolio adopting an asset allocation approach pursuant to which the Portfolio invests in other Portfolios of the Trust. Consequently, although



the Board received information with respect to the performance of the Portfolio during the first quarter of 2007 as well as for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, the Board noted that the performance record reflected the prior structure and investment policies of the Portfolio. The Board determined that it was reasonable under the circumstances to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.834% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.25%. In light of the Portfolio’s historically competitive performance, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Cohen & Steers Realty Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, and in the first quartile over three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had outperformed against its benchmark index over the same one-year, three-year and five-year time periods. The Board determined that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 1.00% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.45%. In light of the Portfolio’s strong performance, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST DeAM Large-Cap Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the first quartile over the one-year, three-year and five-year time periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had outperformed against its benchmark index over the same three-year and five-year time periods. The Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.850% ranked in the third quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total expenses of 1.25%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Neuberger Berman Small-Cap Growth Portfolio (formerly, AST DeAM Small-Cap Growth Portfolio). The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year period, in the fourth quartile over a three-year period, and in the third quartile over a five-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio underperformed against its benchmark index over the same one-year period.

The Board noted that at a meeting held on February 27, 2007, it had approved a recommendation submitted by PI to replace the Portfolio’s existing subadviser (Deutsche Asset Management, Inc.) with Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. (Neuberger Berman). Because Neuberger Berman had assumed responsibility for managing the Portfolio in May 2007, the Portfolio’s performance history was not attributable to Neuberger Berman. Consequently, the Board concluded that it was reasonable under the circumstances to allow Neuberger Berman to establish a record upon which it could be evaluated, and approved the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.906% ranked in the second quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.35%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.



AST DeAM Small-Cap Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, though it was in the third quartile over the three-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board also noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against its benchmark index over the three-year period. The Board noted that the Portfolio had commenced operations in May 2002, and therefore, a longer performance history was not yet available. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s recent improved performance, it was reasonable to approve the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.856% ranked in the first quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.14%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Federated Aggressive Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, and in the first quartile over the three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board also noted that the Portfolio had outperformed against its benchmark index over the same time periods. The Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory, and approved the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.950% ranked in the third quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to dis continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.35%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST FirstTrust Balanced Target Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the bottom half of the Peer Universe for the nine-month period ending December 31, and that the Portfolio had marginally underperformed its benchmark index over the same time period. The Board noted, however, that the Portfolio’s performance history was limited, because the Portfolio had commenced operations in March 2006. Consequently, the Board concluded that it was reasonable under the circumstances to allow the subadviser to establish a longer record upon which it could be evaluated, and approved the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.850% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. In light of the Portfolio’s lack of a meaningful performance record, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST FirstTrust Capital Appreciation Target Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the bottom half of the Peer Universe for the nine-month period ending December 31, and that the Portfolio had marginally underperformed its benchmark index over the same time period. The Board noted, however, that the Portfolio’s performance history was limited, because the Portfolio had commenced operations in March 2006. Consequently, the Board concluded that it was reasonable under the circumstances to allow the subadviser to establish a longer record upon which it could be evaluated, and approved the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.850% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. In light of the Portfolio’s lack of a meaningful performance record, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.



AST UBS Dynamic Alpha Portfolio (formerly, AST Global Allocation Portfolio). The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, in the first quartile over the three-year period, and in the third quartile over the five-year and ten-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe.

The Board noted that shareholders had recently approved changes in the Portfolio’s investment objective and fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies, as well as the appointment of a new subadviser, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas), Inc. (UBS). In light of the changes, which became effective on May 1, 2007, the Portfolio’s prior performance record was not attributable to UBS, and as a result, the Board concluded that it was reasonable under the circumstances to allow UBS to establish a record upon which it could be evaluated, and approved the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 1.00% ranked in the first quartile in its Peer Group. The Board concluded that the management fees are reasonable.

AST Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the first quartile over the one-year period, in the fourth quartile over three-year and five-year periods, and in the third quartile over the ten-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board noted that a portion of the underperformance of the Portfolio was attributable to the previous subadviser, who was replaced by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP in November 2002. The Board further noted that the Portfolio’s recent performance showed improvement, with the Portfolio outperforming the median performance of the other mutual funds included in the Peer Universe and outperforming its benchmark index over the one-year period. The Board concluded that it was reasonable to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements, and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.790% ranked in the third quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 0.86%. In light of the Portfolio’s strong recent performance, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Goldman Sachs Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year and three-year periods, and performance that was in the fourth quartile over the five-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s current subadviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP (GSAM), assumed responsibility for managing the Portfolio’s assets in November 2002, and that as a result, the Portfolio’s performance over the five-year period was not attributable to GSAM. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s shorter-term performance during the first quarter of 2007 placed in the first quartile of the Peer Universe. The Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue the management and subadvisory agreements, and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.967% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.12%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Goldman Sachs Small-Cap Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year and three-year periods, and in the second quartile over the five-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board noted PI’s observation that the Portfolio’s underperformance was primarily the result of the Portfolio’s emphasis on higher quality growth-oriented stocks, which were not in favor in the market. The Board further noted that the Portfolio’s benchmark index outperformed 97% of all active small-cap asset managers for the one-year period. The Board concluded that, in light of the Portfolio’s longer-term performance, it was reasonable to continue the management and subadvisory agreements, and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.



The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.950% ranked in the third quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to discontinue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.35%, noting that the Portfolio’s expense ratio was significantly below the cap due to the fact that the Portfolio had achieved a sufficient asset base against which to spread Portfolio expenses. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST High Yield Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, and in the third quartile over the three-year, five-year and ten-year time periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board also noted that the Portfolio had slightly underperformed against its benchmark index over the same time periods. The Board noted that Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP (GSAM) had ceased serving as a subadviser to the Portfolio effective in June 2006, leaving Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) as the Portfolio’s sole subadviser. The Board further noted that much of the underperformance was not attributable to either PIMCO or GSAM, since GSAM commenced serving as a subadviser in May 2004 and PIMCO commenced serving as a subadviser in March 2006. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s short-term performance over the one-year period was competitive. The Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue the management and subadvisory agreements, and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.747% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 0.88%. In light of the Portfolio’s improving performance record and the changes in subadvisers, the Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST JP Morgan International Equity Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year period, in the fourth quartile over the three-year and five-year periods, and in the second quartile over the ten-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against its benchmark index over the same one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board noted that PI had taken steps to address the Portfolio’s performance by replacing the previous subadviser with JP Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JP Morgan) as of February 2004, and that therefore, only the Portfolio’s one-year performance record was attributable to JP Morgan. The Board also noted PI’s observation that while the Portfolio’s short-term performance lagged the Peer Universe, the Portfolio’s emphasis on higher quality stocks of large capitalization companies with a growth bias was not in favor in the markets. In light of this, the Board concluded that it was reasonable to allow JP Morgan to create a performance record against which it should be evaluated, to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.860% ranked in the second quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.01%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Large-Cap Value Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year period, in the first quartile over the three-year period, in the second quartile over the fiveyear period, and in the third quartile over the ten-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against its benchmark index over the same one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board noted that PI had taken steps to address the performance issues by replacing the previous subadviser with Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management LLC (H&W) as of May 2004. More recently, in response to capacity constraints, JP Morgan Asset Management, Inc. (JP Morgan) and Dreman Value Management LLC (Dreman) had been added as new additional subadvisers as of December 2005 and March 2006, respectively. In light of this, the Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue to allow these subadvisers to create a performance record against which they should



be evaluated, to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.747% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the Portfolio’s existing contractual cap on net total expenses of 1.20%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the third quartile over the one-year period, and in the fourth quartile over the three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had underperformed against its benchmark index over the same time periods. The Board noted PI’s explanation that the Portfolio’s oneyear performance was primarily attributable to the Portfolio’s positions in financial services and computer hardware industries, as well as the Portfolio’s positions in investment grade securities, which had lagged significantly behind high-yield and convertible securities during 2006. The Board also observed that PI had explained that the Portfolio’s ranking in the Peer Universe reflected a certain amount of “peer group bias,” in that the Portfolio was a unique investment class, but was grouped in a Peer Universe comprised of high yield funds, despite the fact that the Portfolio was not purely a high yield fund, thereby creating a performance and expense disadvantage.

The Board noted that PI also explained that performance over the three-year and five-year periods was generated while experiencing significantly lower risk levels than those of the Portfolio’s benchmark index and the other mutual funds included in the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio’s performance for the first quarter of 2007 was in the second quartile of the Peer Universe and had shown improvement. The Board concluded that it was reasonable to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance and to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.752% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 0.88%, which put these expenses in the third quartile of the Peer Group. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST International Value Portfolio (formerly, AST LSV International Value Portfolio). The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the first quartile over the one-year and three-year periods, in the second quartile over the five-year period, and in the third quartile over the ten-year period in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio had outperformed against its benchmark index over the one-year and three-year periods, but had underperformed against the index over the five-year period. The Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 1.00% ranked in the fourth quartile in its Peer Group. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to continue the existing voluntary cap on net total Portfolio expenses of 1.50%. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AST Marsico Capital Growth Portfolio. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s performance was in the second quartile over the one-year period, and in the first quartile over three-year and five-year periods in relation to the Peer Universe. The Board further noted that the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index over the same three-year and five-year periods. The Board concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.

The Board further noted PI’s explanation that the underperformance was primarily attributable to the Portfolio’s underweight position in energy stocks, which were the largest and bestperforming sector included in the index.

The Portfolio’s actual management fee of 0.900% ranked third out of the four mutual funds included in the Peer Group.

The Board also considered that in 2003 and 2005 the Portfolio’s performance exceeded that of the benchmark index, but that the Portfolio underperformed against the benchmark index in 2004 and again in 2006. In light of this, the Board concluded that it was reasonable to allow William Blair and Marsico to continue to create performance records against which they should be evaluated, to approve the continuance of the management and subadvisory agreements and to continue to evaluate the Portfolio’s performance.

AST DeAM Small-Cap Growth Portfolio & AST Federated Aggressive Growth Portfolios: Approvals of New Subadvisory Agreements

At a meeting of the Board held on February 27, 2007, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved new subadvisory agreements for several existing Portfolios of the Trust. For convenience and efficiency, the reasons why PI recommended approval of the new subadvisory agreements, and the factors considered by the Board in approving the agreements are discussed jointly below.

Pursuant to recommendations submitted by PI at the February 27, 2007 meeting, the Board approved the following new subadvisory agreements:

   Portfolio    New Subadviser
   AST DeAM Small-Cap Growth Portfolio    Neuberger Berman Management, Inc.
   AST Federated Aggressive Growth Portfolio    Federated MDTA LLC


With respect to the AST DeAM Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement between PI and Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. and the termination of the subadvisory agreement with the Portfolio’s current subadviser, Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. In connection with the approval of the new subadvisory agreement, the Board also approved changing the Portfolio’s name to AST Neuberger Berman Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, effective as of May 1, 2007.

With respect to the AST Federated Aggressive Growth Portfolio, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement between PI and Federated MDTA LLC, for the purpose of adding Federated MDTA LLC as an additional subadviser to manage a portion of Portfolio assets in addition to the Portfolio’s current subadviser, Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania.

Reasons for Recommending New Subadvisory Agreements

PI recommended to the Board that it approve a new subadvisory agreement with Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. (Neuberger Berman) with respect to the AST DeAM Small-Cap Growth Portfolio based, in part, on the Portfolio’s long-term performance relative to peer mutual funds and the Portfolio’s benchmark index, and an analysis prepared by SIRG with a recommendation that the Portfolio would be better served in the future by switching subadvisers.

PI recommended to the Board that it approve a new subadvisory agreement with Federated MDTA LLC (Federated MDTA) with respect to the AST Federated Aggressive Growth Portfolio based on a decision by the Portfolio’s current subadviser, Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania, to close the portion of the Portfolio it manages to new assets due to capacity constraints.



Nature, quality and extent of services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Portfolio by the current subadvisers under the current subadvisory agreements and those that would be provided to the Portfolios by each of Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA under the new subadvisory agreements, noting that the nature and extent of services under the existing and new agreements were generally similar in that the current subadvisers and Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA were each required to provide day-to-day portfolio management services and comply with all Portfolio policies and applicable rules and regulations.

With respect to the quality of services, the Board considered, among other things, the background and experience of the Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA portfolio management teams. The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio managers who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolios. The Board was also provided with information pertaining to the organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to each of Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA. The Board noted that it received a favorable compliance reports from the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment subadvisory services anticipated to be provided to the Portfolios by Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the quality of investment subadvisory services to be provided by Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA under the new subadvisory agreements should equal the quality of similar services provided by the current subadvisers under the existing subadvisory agreements.

Performance of the Portfolios

The Board received and considered information regarding the performance of other investment companies managed by each of Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA utilizing investment styles and strategies similar to that proposed for the Portfolios.

Investment Subadvisory Fee Rates

The Board considered the proposed subadvisory fee rates payable by the Manager to each of Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA under the proposed new subadvisory agreements. The agreements called for Neuberger Berman to receive 0.50% for net assets to $100 million; 0.45% for net assets over $100 million to $300 million; and 0.40% for net assets over $300 million, and for Federated MDTA to receive 0.50% for net assets to $100 million; 0.45% for net assets over $100 million to $400 million; 0.40% for net assets over $400 million to $900 million; and 0.35% for net assets over $900 million. The Board also considered, among other things, the fee rates payable to Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA by other funds with investment objective similar to that of the Portfolio.

The Board noted that the proposed fee rate for Neuberger Berman was higher than the fee rate applicable to Deutsche Asset Management. The Board further noted that the proposed fee rate for Federated MDTA was identical to the fee rate applicable to Federated Equity Management Company of Pennsylvania. The Board also observed that PI, and not the Portfolios, was responsible for the payment of subadvisory fees to the subadvisers.

As a result of the above considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed subadvisory fee rates under the new subadvisory agreements were reasonable.

Subadviser’s Profitability

Because the engagements of Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA are new, there is no historical profitability with regard to its arrangements with the Portfolios. As a result, the Board did not consider this factor. The Board



noted that the Managers pay the subadvisory fees, and therefore a change in the subadvisory fees will not change the fees paid by the Portfolios. Instead, any increase or decrease will increase or decrease, as applicable, the net fee rates retained by the Managers. The Board noted that profitability would be reviewed annually in connection with the review of advisory agreements.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the proposed subadvisory fee schedules for the Portfolios contained breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels, but did not consider this as a factor, because the Managers pay the subadvisory fees.

Other Benefits to the Subadvisers or their affiliates from serving as Subadviser

The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by Neuberger Berman and Federated MDTA and their affiliates as a result of their relationships with the Portfolios. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by Neuberger Berman or Federated MDTA included potential access to additional research resources, larger assets under management and reputational benefits, which were consistent with those generally derived by subadvisers to mutual funds.

AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio: Approval of New Subadvisory Agreement

At the meetings of the Board held on June 20-21, 2007, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved a new subadvisory agreement with respect to the AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio (formerly, AST American Century Strategic Balanced Portfolio). The reasons why PI recommended the approval of the new subadvisory agreement, and the factors considered by the Board in approving the agreement are discussed jointly below.

Pursuant to a recommendation submitted by PI at the June 20-21, 2007 meetings, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement between American Century Investment Management, Inc. (American Century) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (American Century Global). American Century is the Portfolio’s current subadviser.

Earlier in 2007, the beneficial shareholders of the AST American Century Strategic Allocation Portfolio approved a number of changes in the investment policies of the Portfolio. Among these changes were new investment policies which would cause the Portfolio to invest in foreign equity securities. The Portfolio’s subadviser, American Century, advised PI that it intended to manage the foreign equity portion of the Portfolio through American Century Global, an affiliated investment adviser of American Century. American Century Global would be compensated for its services by American Century, and not by the Portfolio. In order for American Century Global to manage the foreign equity portion of the Portfolio, a subadvisory agreement satisfying the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, was required to be approved by the Board. Consequently, PI recommended to the Board that it approve a new subadvisory agreement between American Century and American Century Global for the purpose of allowing American Century Global to provide investment advisory services to the Portfolio.

Nature, quality and extent of services

With respect to the quality of services, the Board considered, among other things, the background and experience of the portfolio managers. The Board was also provided with information pertaining to the organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to American Century Global. The Board noted that it received a favorable compliance report from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to American Century Global.



Performance

The Board did not consider the performance record of the Portfolio, because it was not relevant to its consideration of the proposed new subadvisory agreement with American Century Global. The Board noted that it had already considered the performance record of the Portfolio in connection with its renewal of American Century’s subadvisory agreement.

Fee Rates

The Board did not consider the subadvisory fee rate under the proposed subadvisory agreement, because American Century was responsible for the payment of all fees to American Century Global out of the fees paid by American Century by PI. The Board noted that it had already considered the subadvisory fee rate paid by PI to American Century in connection with its renewal of American Century’s subadvisory agreement.

Profitability

The Board did not consider profitability, as it was not relevant to its consideration of the proposed new subadvisory agreement with American Century Global. The Board noted that it had already considered the profitability of American Century in connection with its approval of the renewal of American Century’s subadvisory agreement.

Economies of Scale

The Board did not consider economies of scale, because American Century, and not the Portfolio, was responsible for the fees to be paid to American Century Global. The Board noted that it had already considered economies of scale in connection with its approval of the renewal of the American Century subadvisory agreement.

Other Benefits to the Manager and the Subadviser

The Board did not consider potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits to American Century Global, noting that it had already considered “fall out” benefits in connection with its renewal of American Century’s subadvisory agreement.

New Portfolios: Approval of Amendments to Management Agreement and Approvals of New Subadvisory Agreements

At the Board meetings held on June 19-21, 2007, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, also approved the creation of six new Portfolios of the Trust (the “New Portfolios”) In connection with the creation of the New Portfolios, the Board approved an amended management agreement with PI, and approved the following new subadvisory agreements:

Nature, quality and extent of services

With respect to PI, the Board noted that in connection with the renewal of PI’s management agreement, it had received and considered information about PI at the June 20-21, 2007 meetings, and concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI under the management agreement covering the other Portfolios of the Trust. The Board determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by PI under the amended management agreement covering the New Portfolios would be similar in nature to those provided under the existing management agreement.

With respect to Western, CLS, Horizon, and Niemann (collectively referred to as the “new subadvisers”), the Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services that would be provided to the New Portfolios under the new subadvisory agreements.

With respect to the quality of services, the Board considered, among other things, the background and experience of the portfolio managers for each of the new subadvisers. The Board was also provided with information pertaining to the organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to each of the new subadvisers. The Board noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to each of the new subadvisers. With respect to each of the new subadvisers, the Board considered its experience and reputation in managing other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

The Board concluded that with respect to each of the new subadvisers, based on the nature of the proposed services to be rendered and the background information that it reviewed about each of the new subadvisers, it was reasonable to expect that it would be satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of investment subadvisory services to be provided by each of the new subadvisers.

Performance

Because the New Portfolios had not commenced operations, no performance of the New Portfolios themselves existed for Board review. The Board, however, received and considered information regarding the performance of the new subadvisers in managing strategies similar to the New Portfolios. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the performance records of the new subadvisers.

Fee Rates

The Board considered the proposed management fees to be paid by each of the New Portfolios to PI and considered the proposed subadvisory fees to be paid by PI to each of the new subadvisers, as set forth below. The Board also received and considered comparative fee information for other funds.

The Board concluded that the fees were reasonable and noted that the fees would be reviewed in connection with the annual review of advisory agreements and in light of the nature and quality of services provided through that date.

Profitability

Because the New Port folios had not commenced operations, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability in connection with the annual approval of advisory agreements.

Economies of Scale

The Board noted that the advisory fee schedule for the New Portfolios did not contain breakpoints that reduced the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board also noted that the profitability of the Manager would be reviewed annually in connection with the review of advisory agreements.

Other Benefits to the Manager and the Subadvisers

The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Manager and the new subadvisers. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Manager were similar to benefits derived by the Manager in connection with its review of the other Trust Portfolios, which are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the new subadvisers were consistent with those generally derived by other subadvisers to the Trust, and that those benefits are reviewed on an annual basis.
