Series objective

The investment objective of the Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc. (PILP)/Institutional Money Market Series is high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Series will achieve its investment objective.

 

Yields will fluctuate from time to time, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost. For the most recent month-end performance update, visit our websites at www.prudential.com and www.jennisondryden.com. Gross operating expenses: Class A, 0.37%; Class I, 0.25%.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on April 1, 2008, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended September 30, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on

 

4   Visit our websites at www.prudential.com and www.jennisondryden.com


 

the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ 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 Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

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

** Series expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 183 days in the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, and divided by the 365 days in the Series’ fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Series may invest.

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc./Institutional Money Market Series   13


Notes to Financial Statements

 

continued

 

 

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, management investment company. The Fund was organized as a corporation under the laws of Maryland on September 1, 1987. The Fund consists of two series—the Institutional Money Market Series (the “Series”) and the Liquid Assets Series. The Liquid Assets Series has not yet commenced operations. The investment objective of the Series is high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Series invests primarily in money market instruments maturing in 13 months or less whose ratings are within the 2 highest ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if not rated, are of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Series to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund and the Series in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities of the Series are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. When determining the fair value of securities some of the factors influencing the valuation include, the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of 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.

 

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

 

The Series may hold up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those that are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities, sometimes referred to as private placements, are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial institutions, it is the Series’ policy that its custodian or designated sub custodians, as the case may be under triparty repurchase agreements, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase agreement exceeds one business day, the value of collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure 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 Series may be delayed or limited.

 

Loan Participations: The Series may invest in loan participations. When The Series purchases a loan participation, the Series 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 Series assumes the credit risk of the borrower, the Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Series and the borrower. The Series may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan in which it has purchased the loan participant.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

 

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

 

Federal Income Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each series in the Fund is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Series’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Series declares daily dividends from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains or losses. Payment of dividends is made monthly. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

continued

 

 

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

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI continues to have responsibility for all investment advisory services pursuant to the management agreement and supervises PIM’s performance of such services. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .20 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets. PI has contractually agreed to waive a portion (.05 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets) of its management fee, which amounted to $391,666 ($.0003 per share) for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The Series is not required to reimburse PI for such waiver.

 

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Series’ Class A and Class I shares. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A shares, pursuant to the plan of distribution at an annual rate of .12 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets of the Class A shares. PIMS has contractually agreed to waive a portion (.07 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets of the Class A shares) of the distribution fee, which amounted to $316,388 ($.0004 per Class A share) for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The Series is not required to reimburse PIMS for such waiver. The Class A distribution fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Series.

 

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

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Series’ transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to nonaffiliates, where applicable.

 

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees related to the services of First Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), an affiliate of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Series incurred approximately $12,100 in total networking fees, of which approximately $11,700 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

The Series invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of the Dryden Core Investment Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

 

Note 4. Expense Subsidy

 

PI has contractually agreed to subsidize operating expenses so that total Series operating expenses do not exceed .20% and .15% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class I shares, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, such reimbursement amounted to $404,947 ($.0003 per share for Class A and I shares; .05 of 1% of the Series’ average daily net assets).

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

Management has analyzed the Series’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of September 30, 2008, no provisions for income tax would be required in the Series’ financial statements. The Series’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

Note 6. Capital

 

The Series offers Class A and Class I shares. Class A shareholders of the Series who satisfy the minimum purchase requirements to purchase Class I shares will have their Class A shares exchanged for Class I shares on a quarterly basis.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for any reporting period beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

 

Note 8. Subsequent Event

 

On October 6, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the participation in the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) through December 18, 2008.

 

The Series is responsible for payment of fees required to participate in the Program without regard to any waivers or expense limitation in effect for the Series. The participation fee for the initial three-month term of the Program is 0.01% of the net asset value of the Series as of September 19, 2008.

 

As a requirement of participation in the Program, the Series has agreed to liquidate if its net asset value declines to below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) if such Guarantee Event is not cured. The Program’s guarantee only applies to the lesser of the number of shares owned as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 and the number of shares owned when a Guarantee Event occurs.

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc./Institutional Money Market Series   23


Approval of Advisory Agreements

 

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc. oversees the management of the Institutional Money Market Series (the “Fund”), and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 3-5, 2008 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2009, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending December 31, 2007, 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).

 

In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 3-5, 2008.

 

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and PIM, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser 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 Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

 

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.

 

Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio, Inc./Institutional Money Market Series  


Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

 

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and PIM. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PIM, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.

 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and PIM’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and PIM. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to both PI and PIM. The Board noted that 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 Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.

 

Performance of Institutional Money Market Series

 

The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance. The Board considered that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (the Lipper Institutional Money Market Funds Performance Universe) was in the first quartile for all periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its Peer Universe Average during all periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders for the Fund to renew the agreements.

Fees and Expenses

 

The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee (which reflects any subsidies, waivers or expense caps) and total expenses both ranked in the Expense Group’s first quartile. The Board considered PI’s recommendation to continue the existing cap on Fund operating expenses of 0.15% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees), as well as to continue the existing management fee waiver of 0.05%, and concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance and total expenses, this recommendation was not unreasonable. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees are reasonable in light of the services provided.

 

Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI

 

The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected 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.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board noted that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. In light of the Fund’s current size and expense structure, the Board concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Fund’s fee schedule is acceptable at this time.

 

Other Benefits to PI and PIM

 

The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PI, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), and benefits to the reputation as well as other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included its ability to use soft dollar credits,

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

brokerage commissions received by affiliates of PIM, 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 benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

 

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
