  • PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

    31 A ari N A r T

    Stable-Value Investments: These investments combinesafety of principal, liquidity¤ and a competitive rate of returnwith potentially improved earnings power versus alternativeshort-term investments.

    Fixed-Income Investments: Invest in corporate andgovernment bonds. They can go up or down in value eachday, so they carry more risk than stable-value investments,but also offer more opportunity for a potentially larger return.Fixed income investment mutual funds are subject to interestrate risk; their value will decline as interest rates rise.

    Stocks/Equities: Stock funds also called equity investmentsrepresent ownership in funds, which own shares ofcorporations. Stock funds offer you a chance to share in theprofits or losses of those corporations. Stock funds have thepotential for higher returns, but they carry more risk than theother investment options.

    Balanced: Balanced investments combine fixed-income andstock components to offer you a combination of the interestincome from fixed-income investments and the growthpotential of stock investments. As a result, balancedinvestments typically do not experience the full ups anddowns of the stock market.

    Past performance does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the pastperformance quoted. The performance in this report is based in part, on adjusted historical returns of the oldest share class ofthe fund, which has been adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of this share class. The investment return and principal valuewill fluctuate and share/units when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost.

    These returns are net of investment-related fees and charges as well as current contract fees (including asset charges). Your actualrate of return may differ from these returns depending on your specific account activity (including the timing of your contributions andpurchases and other account transactions), and any changes in contract charges. Investments in the market-valued funds involvethe risk and reward associated with the securities market. Investment performance reflects true period earnings. The InceptionDate represents the date assets were first invested in the fund or the date a specific share class was initiated. "N/A"indicated the fund was not in existence or data was not available/applicable at the time this statement was printed.Performance is based on 10 years when an Inception Date is not displayed.

    *The net and gross expenses shown include the total operating expenses of the funds and the indirect expense of the funds'underlying portfolio. Your investment returns are reduced by various fees and expenses. For each plan investment option, the"Expense Ratio" columns show these charges as an annual percentage. Depending on the type of investment, these charges arepaid to Prudential or to unaffiliated mutual fund complexes or bank collective trusts. If your plan has mutual fund investment options,the Expense Ratio is not reduced by any fee or expense waivers from the fund complex, and therefore the actual Expense Ratio maybe lower. For other investment options, the benefit of any waivers is reflected in the Expense Ratio shown.

    Some mutual funds and bank collective trusts, or their affiliates, compensate Prudential for selling their shares and servicing yourretirement plan, as detailed in the Fact Sheet for that investment option. For other investment options, the charges reflected in theExpense Ratio are typically deducted by Prudential in return for investment and recordkeeping services, and product distribution. Forsome plans, the charges also enable Prudential to satisfy the plan's request for allowances to defray plan expenses. Your retirementplan may not include investment options with lower fee structures or lower cost share classes in order to compensate Prudential, inthe aggregate, for servicing your retirement plan.

    The performance in this report is based, in part, on adjusted historical returns of the oldest share class of the fund, which has beenadjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of this share class.

  • Fund/Portfolio Catagory Morningstar, an investment research and investmentmanagement firm, assigns each mutual fund to a category, based on their actualinvestment style as measured by their underlying portfolio holdings over the pastthree years. Categories for Manager of Managers separate accounts are deter-mined by Prudential.

    Expense Ratio The net and gross expenses shown include the total operatingexpenses of the funds and the indirect expenses of the funds’ underlying portfolios.Your investment returns are reduced by various fees and expenses. For each planinvestment option, the “Expense Ratio” presentation shows these charges as anannual percentage. Depending on the type of investment, these charges are paid toPrudential or to unaffiliated mutual fund complexes or bank collective trusts. Formutual funds the Expense Ratio is not reduced by any fee or expense waivers fromthe fund complex (i.e., Gross Expense Ratio), and therefore the actual Expense Ratiomay be lower. For other investment options, including separate accounts and bankcollective trusts, the benefit of any waivers is reflected in the Expense Ratio (i.e.,Net Expense Ratio). Not all funds charge an Expense Ratio. Please see specific fundfactsheets for details.

    Overall Morningstar RatingTM Portfolio’s overall rating.

    Morningstar RatingTM (Open End Mutual Funds, Closed End Funds, orVariable Annuity Underlying Funds)

    For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates aMorningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure thataccounts for variation in a funds’ monthly performance (including the effects ofsales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downwardvariations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in eachcategory receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Eachshare class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated sepa-rately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) TheOverall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the per-formance figures associated with its three-, five-, and ten-year (if applicable)Morningstar Rating metrics. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    Morningstar RatingTM (Group Annuity- Variable Annuity Subaccounts)

    The Morningstar Rating™ is provided for those group variable annuities with at leasta three-year history. Ratings are based on the group variable annuity’s MorningstarRisk-Adjusted Return measure which accounts for variation in monthly performance,placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent perform-ance. Morningstar compares each group variable annuity’s risk-adjusted return to theopen-end mutual fund rating breakpoints for that category. The group variable annuityMorningstar Rating does not affect the retail mutual fund data published byMorningstar. Consistent with the open-end mutual fund ratings, the top 10% of groupvariable annuities in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, thenext 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for each group variable annuity is derived froma weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- andten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Past performance is no guaranteeof future results.

    Morningstar RatingTM (Based on Extended Performance)

    Please note, some of the Morningstar proprietary calculations, including theMorningstar Rating™, are not customarily calculated based on adjusted historicalreturns. The evaluation of this investment does not affect the retail mutual funddata published by Morningstar. For each retail mutual fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on aMorningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’smonthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemptionfees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistentperformance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 starsand the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of onefund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in thedistribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a retail mutual fund isderived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with itsthree-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. This invest-ment’s independent Morningstar Rating metric is then compared against the retailmutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating. Past perform-ance is no guarantee of future results.

    Morningstar Style Box/Investment Style Box While the category descriptiontells you how the portfolio has been run in the past, the Style Box is a snapshot ofwhat the portfolio currently owns. For equity separate accounts, Investment StyleBox data is based on a quarter lag and assigned by Prudential.

    Morningstar Style BoxTM sdsdsdsddssdsdsdssdsssdsdsds asdasdasdasdasdadasdasdasdasdasdsdasdasdasdasdasdasd

    The Morningstar Style BoxTM reveals a fund’s investment strategy. For equity fundsthe vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the long stocks owned and thehorizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth).

    For fixed-income funds, the vertical axis shows the credit quality of the long bondsowned and the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by abond's effective duration.

    Morningstar seeks credit rating information from fund companies on a periodicbasis (e.g., quarterly). In compiling credit rating information Morningstar acceptscredit ratings reported by fund companies that have been issued by all NationallyRecognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). For a list of all NRSROs,please visit http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/ratingagency.htm.Additionally, Morningstar accepts foreign credit ratings from widely recognized orregistered rating agencies. If two rating organizations/agencies have rated a secu-rity, fund companies are to report the lower rating; if three or moreorganizations/agencies have rated a security, fund companies are to report themedian rating, and in cases where there are more than two organization/agencyratings and a median rating does not exist, fund companies are to use the lower ofthe two middle ratings. PLEASE NOTE: Morningstar, Inc. is not itself an NRSRO nordoes it issue a credit rating on the fund. An NRSRO or rating agency ratings canchange from time-to-time.

    For credit quality, Morningstar combines the credit rating information provided bythe fund companies with an average default rate calculation to come up with aweighted-average credit quality. The weighted-average credit quality is currently aletter that roughly corresponds to the scale used by a leading NRSRO. Bond fundsare assigned a style box placement of "low", "medium", or "high" based on theiraverage credit quality. Funds with a low credit quality are those whose weighted-average credit quality is determined to be less than "BBB-"; medium are those lessthan "AA-", but greater or equal to "BBB-"; and high are those with a weighted-aver-age credit quality of "AA-" or higher. When classifying a bond portfolio, Morningstarfirst maps the NRSRO credit ratings of the underlying holdings to their respectivedefault rates (as determined by Morningstar's analysis of actual historical defaultrates). Morningstar then averages these default rates to determine the averagedefault rate for the entire bond fund. Finally, Morningstar maps this average defaultrate to its corresponding credit rating along a convex curve.

    For interest-rate sensitivity, Morningstar obtains from fund companies the averageeffective duration. Generally, Morningstar classifies a fixed-income fund's interest-rate sensitivity based on the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index(MCBI), which is currently three years. The classification of Limited will be assignedto those funds whose average effective duration is between 25% to 75% of MCBI'saverage effective duration; funds whose average effective duration is between 75%to 125% of the MCBI will be classified as Moderate; and those that are at 125% orgreater of the average effective duration of the MCBI will be classified as Extensive.For municipal bond funds, Morningstar also obtains from fund companies the aver-age effective duration. In these cases static breakpoints are utilized. These break-points are as follows: (i) Limited: 4.5 years or less; (ii) Moderate: more than 4.5years but less than 7 years; and (iii) Extensive: more than 7 years. In addition, fornon-US taxable and non-US domiciled fixed income funds static duration break-points are used: (i) Limited: less than or equal to 3.5 years; (ii) Moderate: greaterthan 3.5 and less than equal to 6 years; (iii) Extensive: greater than 6 years.

    Morningstar Volatility Rank is an investment’s 3-year standard deviation overallpercentile rank within its US open-end, VA/L fund, or VA/L subaccount universe.The investment with the lowest standard deviation receives a rank of 1. We thenclassify investment portfolios as having one of three volatility levels relative to alltypes of mutual funds: Low, Moderate, and High. Investments with wider ranges ofreturns are labeled “high,” as they are considered riskier than “low” volatilityinvestments, which have had smaller ranges of returns.
