Dear Shareholder:

 

Recently we announced the renaming of JennisonDryden, Prudential Financial’s mutual fund family, to Prudential Investments. As a result of this change, each of our funds has been renamed to feature “Prudential” as part of its new name. The name of your fund has changed from the Dryden Asset Allocation Fund to the Prudential Asset Allocation Fund.

 

While the name of your fund has changed, its investment objectives and portfolio management team remain the same. No action is required on your part. If you participate in an automatic investment plan, your account continues to be invested in the Fund under its new name.

 

Featuring the Prudential name in our funds creates an immediate connection to the experience and heritage of Prudential, a name recognized by millions for helping people grow and protect their wealth.

 

On the following pages, you will find your fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the fund’s holdings at period-end. If you have questions about your fund or the renaming of our mutual fund family, please contact your financial professional or visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com.

 

Sincerely,

Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns. The Since Inception returns for the Customized Blend Index, Prior Customized Blend Index, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, S&P 500 Index, and the Lipper Average are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, and Class X shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 0.75%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class L shares are closed to most new purchasers (with the exception of exchanges from the same class of shares offered by certain other Prudential Investments funds). The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Benchmark Definitions

 

Customized Blend Index

The Customized Blend Index is made up of the S&P 500 Index (50%), the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%), the Russell 2000 Index (5%), and the MSCI EAFE ND Index (5%). Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 19.01% for Class R; and 0.72% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 3.37% for Class R; and 0.24% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

 

Prior Customized Blend Index

The Prior Customized Blend Index is made up of the S&P 500 Index (57.5%), the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40.0%), and the T-Bill 3-Month Blend (2.5%). Prior Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 18.08% for Class R; and 1.45% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Prior Customized Blend Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 3.22% for Class R; and 0.48% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

 

Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity on the securities. It gives a broad look at how short- and intermediate-term bonds have performed. Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 29.71% for Class R; and 19.57% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 5.08% for Class R; and 6.14% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

 

S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 7.61% for Class R; and –11.97% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 1.41% for Class R; and –4.16% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

 

Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average

The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average are funds whose primary objective is to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock:bond ratio ranges around 60%:40%. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 14.16% for Class R; and –4.98% for Class L, Class M, and Class X. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 2.51% for Class R; and –1.74% for Class L, Class M, and Class X.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Customized Blend Index, Prior Customized Blend Index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

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

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2010. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the

Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

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

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 182 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Asset Allocation Fund   91


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Prudential Asset Allocation Fund (formerly Dryden Asset Allocation Fund) (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Growth Fund (formerly Jennison Growth Fund), and Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund) which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund), Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund) and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund) which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Prudential Asset Allocation Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 7, 1996.

 

The Series’ investment objective is to seek income and long-term growth of capital by investing in a portfolio of equity, fixed-income and money market securities which is actively managed to capitalize on opportunities created by perceived misvaluation.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) 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 asked 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 NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadviser, 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 their 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 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 reliable 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 Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Director’s 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 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.

 

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.

 

Short-term debt securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.

 

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

 

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the current rate of exchange;

 

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

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

Although the net assets of the Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal year, the Series does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at fiscal year end. Similarly, the Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the fiscal year. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at year-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

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 Series 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 Series 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 (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on financial futures contracts. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

94   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

 


The Series invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Series intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

 

Foreign Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate between two parties. The Series enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (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. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Series and the counterparty which may permit the Series to offset amounts payable by the Series to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Series to cover the Series’ exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

 

Options: The Series 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, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates, with respect to securities which the Series currently owns or intends to purchase. The Series’ 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 Series purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Series 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 Series realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium

received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Series has realized a gain or loss. 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 options written. The Series, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Series bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Series, 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.

 

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

 

Swap Agreements: The Series may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Series are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.

 

Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Series is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Series may use interest rate swaps to either maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The maximum amount of the payment that the Series as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. These potential amounts will be partially offset by any recovery values of the

respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Series for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Series generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.

 

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

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2010, the Series has not met conditions under such agreements, which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.

Swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

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

 

Dollar Rolls: The Series may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Series sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date.

 

During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series’ policy is to record the components of dollar rolls as purchase and sale transactions. The Series had dollar rolls outstanding as of March 31, 2010, which are included in Receivable for Investments Sold and Payable for Investments Purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series maintains a segregated account of U.S. government securities or other liquid assets, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligation with respect to dollar rolls.

 

The Series is subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Series is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.

 

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. 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 Series. 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 Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes 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 Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes 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 gains or losses on sales of investments 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 an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the 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 class) and unrealized 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.

 

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

 

Taxes: 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 net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

 

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

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Fund has a management agreement for the Series with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisors’ performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory

 

100   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

 


agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”) and Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA). The subadvisory agreements provides that PIM and QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, PIM and QMA are obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of PIM and QMA, the 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 computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .65% of the Series’ daily average net assets up to $1 billion and .60% of the average net assets of the Series in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65% for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

PI has contractually agreed to waive up to 0.02% of its management fee to the extent that the Series’ annual operating expenses exceed 0.86% (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and non-routine expenses) of the Fund’s average net assets.

 

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Series.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1%, .50%, 1%, .75% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X shares, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

 

PIMS has advised the Series that it received $40,822 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2010. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2010, it received $707, $14,361, $560, $1,737 and $547 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M and Class X shareholders, respectively.

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

 

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

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

 

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), an affiliate of PI through December 31, 2009. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Series incurred approximately $34,900 in total networking fees, of which approximately $16,500 was paid to Wells Fargo. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

PIM is the securities lending agent for the Series. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, PIM has been compensated by the Series approximately $5,100 for these services.

 

The Series invests in the Prudential Core Short-Term Bond Fund (formerly known as Short-Term Bond Series) and in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (formerly known as Taxable Money Market Series) (each a “Portfolio” and collectively “Portfolios”), of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (formerly known as Dryden Core Investment Fund). The Portfolios are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments and U.S. Government Securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $283,494,512 and $300,546,725, respectively.

 

There were no dollar rolls outstanding at March 31, 2010.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2010 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis Investments

 

Appreciation

 

Depreciation

 

Net Unrealized
Appreciation

$423,082,356   $50,359,776   $(10,455,466)   $39,904,310

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis was attributable to deferred losses on wash sales and marking to market of unrealized appreciation on passive foreign investment companies.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2009 of approximately $38,388,000 which expires in 2017. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforwards. It is uncertain if the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit of the remaining carryforwards prior to the expiration date.

 

The Series elected to treat post-October currency and capital losses of approximately $44,000 and $64,780,000 as having been incurred in this fiscal year.

 

Management has analyzed the Series’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2010, no provision 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, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. Class A and Class L shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. All investors who purchase Class A or Class L shares in an amount of $1 million or more are not subject to a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% if they sell these shares within 12 months of purchase, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class M and Class X shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 6% to zero

depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares have a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class M shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Class L shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Class L and Class M shares are only exchangeable with Class L and Class M shares, respectively, offered by certain other Strategic Partners Funds. Class X shares are closed to new purchases. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

There are 1 billion shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Series, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, Class X and Class Z, each of which consists of 200 million, 125 million, 125 million, 125 million, 125 million, 75 million, 150 million, and 75 million authorized shares, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, Prudential did not own any Class R shares of the Series.

Note 7. Borrowing

 

The Series, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 22, 2009, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .15% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. For the period from October 24, 2008 through October 21, 2009, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .13% of the unused portion of the agreement. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 20, 2010. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions.

 

The Series utilized the line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2010. The balance for the 1 day the Fund had a loan outstanding during the period was $256,000 at an interest rate of 1.38%.

 

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and

settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

Note 9. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements are issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Dear Shareholder:

 

Recently we announced the renaming of JennisonDryden, Prudential Financial’s mutual fund family, to Prudential Investments. As a result of this change, each of our funds has been renamed to feature “Prudential” as part of its new name. The name of your fund has changed from the Jennison Growth Fund to the Prudential Jennison Growth Fund.

 

While the name of your fund has changed, its investment objectives and portfolio management team remain the same. No action is required on your part. If you participate in an automatic investment plan, your account continues to be invested in the Fund under its new name.

 

Featuring the Prudential name in our funds creates an immediate connection to the experience and heritage of Prudential, a name recognized by millions for helping people grow and protect their wealth.

 

On the following pages, you will find your fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the fund’s holdings at period-end. If you have questions about your fund or the renaming of our mutual fund family, please contact your financial professional or visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com.

 

Sincerely,

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

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

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

 

Benchmark Definitions

 

Russell 1000 Growth Index

The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index comprising those securities in the Russell 1000 Index with a greater-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index tend to exhibit relatively high price-to-book ratios, price-to-earnings ratios, forecasted growth rates, and relatively low dividend yields. Russell 1000 Growth Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 13.48% for Class R. Russell 1000 Growth Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 2.44% for Class R.

 

S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 7.61% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 1.41% for Class R.

 

Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average

The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Large-cap growth funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P 500 Index. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 9.78% for Class R. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 1.71% for Class R.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

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

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2010. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

 

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Growth Fund   5


Fees and Expenses (continued)

 

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

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

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

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Growth Fund   17


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Fund was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Prudential Jennison Growth Fund (formerly Jennison Growth Fund) (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund) and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund (formerly Dryden Asset Allocation Fund) which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund), Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund) and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund) which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to the Prudential Jennison Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 2, 1995.

 

The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Series seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in equity securities (common stock, preferred stock and securities convertible into common stock) of established companies with above-average growth prospects.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Securities 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 asked 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 NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sale price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), 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. Securities for which reliable 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

 

18   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com


before the Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ 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 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.

 

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

 

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. 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 Series. 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 Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes 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 Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Although the net assets of the Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Series does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates

 

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Growth Fund   19

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the fiscal period. Similarly, the Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the fiscal period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class), realized and unrealized 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. The Company’s expenses are allocated to the respective Series on the basis of relative net assets except for expenses that are charged directly to the Series level.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually.

 

20   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

 


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

 

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series in the Company is treated as a separate tax-paying 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 income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

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

 

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

 

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Company has a management agreement for the Series with 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers and employees 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 computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.600% of the Series’ average daily net assets up to $300 million, 0.575% of the next $2.7 billion and 0.550% of the Series’ average daily net assets in excess of $3 billion. The effective management fee rate was 0.58% of the Series’ average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C,

 

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Growth Fund   21

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

Class R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Series.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.30%, 1%, 1% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

 

PIMS has advised the Series that it received $104,902 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2010. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker/dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2010, it received $228, $48,706 and $1,806 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and C shareholders, respectively.

 

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

 

The Series, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 22, 2009, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 20, 2010. For the period from October 24, 2008 through October 21, 2009, the Funds paid a commitment fee of 0.13% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share

redemptions. The Series did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

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 on the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers, including fees relating to the services of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), an affiliate of PI through December 31, 2009. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Series incurred approximately $470,300 in total networking fees, of which approximately $66,700 was paid to Wells Fargo through December 31, 2009. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, PIM has been compensated approximately $41,400 for these services.

 

The Series invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (formerly Taxable Money Market Series) (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (formerly Dryden Core Investment Fund). The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Portfolio are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

 

Note 4. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $739,923,847 and $770,433,014, respectively.

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2010 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis of
Investments

 

Appreciation

 

Depreciation

 

Net Unrealized
Appreciation

$1,687,677,217   $570,940,679   $(3,484,280)   $567,456,399

 

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Series had a capital loss carryforward as of September 30, 2009 of approximately $1,504,491,000 of which $442,788,000 expires in 2010, $827,428,000 expires in 2011, $68,190,000 expires in 2012 and $166,085,000 expires in 2017. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such amounts. It is uncertain whether, the Series will be able to realize the full benefit prior to the expiration date.

 

The Series has elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $55,987,000 and post-October currency losses of approximately $191,000 incurred in the eleven months ended September 30, 2009 as having been incurred in the next fiscal year (September 30, 2010).

 

Management has analyzed the Series’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2010, no provision 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, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12

months of purchase are not subject to an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC of 5%, which decreases by 1% annually to 1% in the fifth and sixth years and 0% in the seventh year. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1% for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

There are 6.25 billion shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Company authorized which are divided into six series. There are 1.25 billion shares authorized for the Series divided into five classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares, each of which consists of 208,333,333 authorized shares.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

Note 8. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Dear Shareholder:

 

Recently we announced the renaming of JennisonDryden, Prudential Financial’s mutual fund family, to Prudential Investments. As a result of this change, each of our funds has been renamed to feature “Prudential” as part of its new name. The name of your fund has changed from the Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund to the Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund.

 

While the name of your fund has changed, its investment objectives and portfolio management team remain the same. No action is required on your part. If you participate in an automatic investment plan, your account continues to be invested in the Fund under its new name.

 

Featuring the Prudential name in our funds creates an immediate connection to the experience and heritage of Prudential, a name recognized by millions for helping people grow and protect their wealth.

 

On the following pages, you will find your fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the fund’s holdings at period-end. If you have questions about your fund or the renaming of our mutual fund family, please contact your financial professional or visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com.

 

Sincerely,

Your Fund’s Performance

 

 

 

Performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.prudentialfunds.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 5.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.20%; Class B, 1.90%; Class C, 1.90%; Class R, 1.65%; Class Z, 0.90%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.20%; Class B, 1.90%; Class C, 1.90%; Class R, 1.40%; Class Z, 0.90%, after contractual reduction through 1/31/2011.

Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.

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

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

Benchmark Definitions

 

S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 7.61% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 1.41% for Class R.

 

Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average

The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds in the Lipper Average typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total return is 10.52% for Class R. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total return is 1.82% for Class R.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

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

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2010. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

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

* Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 182 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2010, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund   17

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund) (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Growth Fund (formerly Jennison Growth Fund ) and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund (formerly Dryden Asset Allocation Fund) which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund), Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund) and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund) which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein. The Series commenced investment operations on November 7, 1996.

 

The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Series seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in common stocks of established companies with growth prospects believed to be underappreciated by the market.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Securities 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 asked 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 Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadvisor; to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Securities for which reliable 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 Series’ normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with The Board of Directors’ 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 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.

 

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.

 

Short-term debt securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market-value. The amortized cost method includes 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 debt securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations.

 

Restricted Securities: The Series may hold up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities held by the Series at the end of the fiscal period may include registration rights under which the Series may demand registration by the issuers, of which the Series may bear the cost of such registration. Restricted securities, are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Series does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long term securities held at the end of the fiscal year. Similarly,

 

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund   19

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

the Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the fiscal year. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

 

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at fiscal year end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

 

Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers. 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 Series. 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 Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes 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 Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

 

Short Sales: The Series may make short sales of securities as a method of hedging potential price declines in similar securities owned. The Series may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Series 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

 

20   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

 


obligation to deliver the security upon conclusion of the sale. The Series may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular securities and may be obligated to return any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. A gain, limited to the price at which the Series 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 is less or greater than the proceeds originally received, respectively, and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on short sales.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and realized and unrealized gains and 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions: The Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income, if any, semi-annually and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Series in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying 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 income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.

 

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

 

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

Note 2. Agreements

 

The Company has a management agreement for the Series with 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers and employees 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 computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Series up to $300 million and 0.575% of the average daily net assets of the Series over $300 million. The effective management fee rate was 0.60% of the Series average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

The Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Series.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.30%, 1%, 1% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to 0.50% for Class R shares.

 

PIMS has advised the Series that it received $41,838 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2010. From these fees PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated brokers/dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2010, it received $12,823 and $186 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.

 

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

 

The Company, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 22, 2009, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 20, 2010. For the period from October 24, 2008 through October 21, 2009, the Funds paid a commitment fee of 0.13% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The Series did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

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 Company’s transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Series pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers including fees relating to the services of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), an affiliate of PI through December 31, 2009. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Series incurred approximately $115,400 in total networking fees, of which approximately $26,300 was paid to Wells Fargo through December 31, 2009. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

Prudential Investment Management, Inc., (“PIM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, PIM has been compensated approximately $9,900 for these services.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

As a result of the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., which was the parent company to the Company’s Securities Lending Counter Party, Lehman Brothers Inc. (Lehman), the Company’s Securities Lending Agent utilized collateral held on behalf of the Company for securities out on loan to compensate the Company for the failure of Lehman to return the securities.

 

The Series invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (formerly Taxable Money Market Series) (the “portfolio”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (formerly 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. Portfolio Securities

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $122,536,533 and $132,822,078, respectively.

 

Note 5. Tax Information

 

The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2010 were as follows:

 

Tax Basis of
Investments

 

Appreciation

 

Depreciation

 

Net
Unrealized
Appreciation

$329,487,161   $54,731,603   $(10,349,477)   $44,382,126

 

The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

 

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2010, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Note 6. Capital

 

The Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.5%. Investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential Financial, Inc. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

 

There are 1 billion shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Series, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z, each of which consists of 200 million authorized shares. As of March 31, 2010 Prudential owned 138 Class R shares of the Series.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Series received $29,781 related to an affiliate’s settlement of regulatory proceedings involving allegations of improper trading. This amount is presented in the Series’ statement of changes in net assets. The Series was not involved in the proceedings or the calculation of the payment.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

Note 8. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Series through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Dear Shareholder:

 

Recently we announced the renaming of JennisonDryden, Prudential Financial’s mutual fund family, to Prudential Investments. As a result of this change, each of our funds has been renamed to feature “Prudential” as part of its new name. The name of the JennisonDryden Asset Allocation Funds has changed to the Prudential Asset Allocation Funds.

 

While the name of your fund has changed, its investment objectives and portfolio management team remain the same. No action is required on your part. If you participate in an automatic investment plan, your account continues to be invested in the Fund under its new name.

 

Featuring the Prudential name in our funds creates an immediate connection to the experience and heritage of Prudential, a name recognized by millions for helping people grow and protect their wealth.

 

On the following pages, you will find your fund’s semiannual report, including a table showing fund performance over the first half of the fiscal year and for longer periods. The report also contains a listing of the fund’s holdings at period-end. If you have questions about your fund or the renaming of our mutual fund family, please contact your financial professional or visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com.

 

Sincerely,

Each component of the Conservative Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of its asset class. See page 5 for the definitions of each component index. The Conservative Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The Conservative Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

 

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Conservative Customized Blend, Russell 1000 Index, and S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Performance Target—Conservative Customized Blend

 

 

The Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund seeks to beat a performance target—the Conservative Customized Blend—consisting of a weighted average return of five securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010 and their weightings in the Conservative Customized Blend. Index returns do not reflect sales charges, a mutual fund’s operating expenses, or taxes, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund seeks to beat this target by holding positions in specific Prudential mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment adviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The Since Inception returns for the S&P 500 Index, Russell 1000 Index, Growth Customized Blend, and Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Average (Lipper Average) are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date.

 

Benchmark Definitions

 

Growth Customized Blend

The Growth Customized Blend is an unmanaged model portfolio consisting of the Russell 3000 Index (60%), the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East (MSCI EAFE ND) Index (25%), the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (10%), and the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Developed BMI Property Net Index (5%). Each component of the Growth Customized Blend is an unmanaged index generally considered as representing the performance of its asset class. See page 13 for the definitions of each component index. The Growth Customized Blend is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each asset class. The Growth Customized Blend does not reflect deductions for any sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The Growth Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 27.91% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –9.53% for Class R. The Growth Customized Blend Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 4.19% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.03% for Class R.

 

Russell 1000 Index

The Russell 1000 Index is an unmanaged index that consists of the 1,000 largest securities in the Russell 3000 Index. Russell 1000 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 20.19% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –10.40% for Class R. Russell 1000 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 3.11% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.32% for Class R.

 

S&P 500 Index

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. public companies. It gives a broad look at how U.S. stock prices have performed. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 17.32% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –11.41% for Class R. S&P 500 Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 2.70% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.66% for Class R.

 

Lipper Average

The Lipper Average represents returns based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds category. Funds in the Lipper Average invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges without concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Multi-cap core funds have more latitude in the companies in which they invest. These funds typically have an average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared to the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Lipper Multi-Cap Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns are 19.80% for Class A,

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)

 

 

Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –8.85% for Class R. Lipper Multi-Cap Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns are 2.95% for Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Z; and –3.00% for Class R.

 

The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class R shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, and 0.75%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class R and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. The returns in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.

 

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for the Growth Customized Blend, Russell 1000 Index, and S&P 500 Index would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Performance Target—Growth Customized Blend

 

 

The Prudential Growth Allocation Fund seeks to exceed a performance target—the Growth Customized Blend—consisting of a weighted average return of four securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010 and their weightings in the Growth Customized Blend. Index returns do not reflect sales charges, a mutual fund’s operating expenses, or taxes, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund seeks to exceed this target by holding positions in specific Prudential mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment adviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity. It gives a broad look at how bond prices of short- and intermediate-term bonds have performed.

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (MSCI EAFE ND Index) is an unmanaged, weighted index that reflects stock price movements in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It gives a broad look at how foreign stock prices have performed.

The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which represents the U.S. equity market—it covers about 98% of all investable stocks in the U.S.

The Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Developed BMI Property Net Index is an unmanaged, broad market index of more than 400 companies from 21 countries, and is available for a wide range of regions (including ex-U.S.) as well as by country.

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 Fund expenses, as applicable. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2010. These examples are for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.

 

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

 

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the tables on the following pages 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 tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables 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 tables 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.

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Asset Allocation Funds   37

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series (“Fund” or “Funds”): Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund), Prudential Jennison Growth Fund (formerly Jennison Growth Fund), and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund (formerly Dryden Asset Allocation Fund) which are diversified funds and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Conservative Allocation Fund) (“Conservative Allocation Fund”), Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Moderate Allocation Fund) (“Moderate Allocation Fund”) and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund (formerly JennisonDryden Growth Allocation Fund) (“Growth Allocation Fund”) which are non-diversified. These financial statements relate to the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund (collectively referred to as the “Allocation Funds”).

 

The Conservative Allocation Fund’s investment objective is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The Moderate Allocation Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. The Growth Allocation Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Each Allocation Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of mutual funds in the Prudential (formerly JennisonDryden) mutual fund family (each, an underlying fund). Each Fund in the Allocation Funds is typically referred to as a “Fund of Funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Allocation Funds may also invest directly in U.S. Government securities and money market instruments for cash management purposes or when assuming a defensive position.

 

Note 1. Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company and the Allocation Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: Investments in the underlying funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each underlying fund as reported on each business day. Short-term debt investments maturing within sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant

 

38   Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

 


amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market value.

 

Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses on the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds.

 

Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends will typically be distributed quarterly by the Conservative Allocation Fund and annually by the Moderate Allocation Fund and the Growth Allocation Fund. Each Allocation Fund declares and pays its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

 

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

 

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 Company has a management agreement for the Allocation Funds with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all

 

Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc./Prudential Asset Allocation Funds   39

 


Notes to Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited) continued

 

investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Allocation Funds. In connection therewith, QMA is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Allocation Funds. PI pays for the services of QMA, the compensation of officers of the Allocation Funds, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Allocation Funds. The Allocation Funds bear all other costs and expenses.

 

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .20% of each of the Allocation Funds’ daily average net assets.

 

The Allocation Funds have a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Allocation Funds. The Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Allocation Funds’ Class A, B, C and R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Allocation Funds.

 

Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

 

PI has contractually agreed to limit the net annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, non-routine expenses, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and underlying fund fees and expenses) of each class of shares of the Allocation Funds to .50% of each Allocation Funds’ average daily net assets.

 

PIMS has advised the Allocation Funds of its receipt of front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2010. These amounts were as follows:

 

Fund

   Class A

Conservative Allocation Fund

   $ 188,736

Moderate Allocation Fund

     265,753

Growth Allocation Fund

     94,769

From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.

 

PIMS has advised the Allocation Funds of its receipt of contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2010. These amounts were as follows:

 

Fund

   Class B    Class C

Conservative Allocation Fund

   $ 150,769    $ 2,326

Moderate Allocation Fund

     148,770      1,041

Growth Allocation Fund

     59,596      1,022

 

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

 

The Allocation Funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 22, 2009, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .15% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 20, 2010. For the period from October 24, 2008 through October 21, 2009, the Funds paid a commitment fee of .13% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The Allocation Funds did not utilize the line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2010.

 

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 Company’s transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.

 

The Allocation Funds pay networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers including fees related to the services of Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), an affiliate of PI through December 31, 2009. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national mutual fund clearing system. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Conservative

The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.

Notes to Financial Statements

The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.

 

For federal income tax purposes the following Funds elected to treat post-October losses incurred as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (September 30, 2010). Certain Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until future net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforwards. The approximate amounts were as follows:

 

Fund

   Post-October
Capital Losses
   Capital Loss
Carryforward
 

Conservative Allocation Fund

   $ 2,399,000    $ 100,000 (a) 

Moderate Allocation Fund

     9,021,000      645,000 (a) 

Growth Allocation Fund

     6,675,000      682,000 (a) 

 

(a) Expiring in 2017.

 

Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2010, no provision for income tax would be required in the Allocation Funds’ financial statements. The Company’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2010-06 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

 

Note 8. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Allocation Funds through the date the financial statements are issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
