Prospectus dated November 29, 1995
HOW THE FUND INVESTS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Board of Directors of the Fund has approved modifications to the Fund's
investment policies and restrictions. These changes will be submitted to
shareholders for their approval at a special meeting scheduled to be held on or
about October 8, 1996. The changes to the Fund's investment policies and
restrictions are summarized below.
A number of the Fund's investment policies and restrictions are proposed to
be eliminated or modified which would permit the Fund, among other things, (1)
to purchase and sell put and call options on equity securities and stock indices
in the over-the-counter market; (2) to enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to hedge the value of the foreign currency denominated
portion of its portfolio against future changes in the level of currency
exchange rates; and (3) to invest in securities of other investment companies.
If approved by shareholders, these changes will not take effect until the
Fund issues a new prospectus for the Fund (or a supplement thereto).
GENERAL INFORMATION
In addition to the changes described above, the Board of Directors approved
changing the name of the Fund to ``Prudential Small Companies Fund, Inc.'' This
change will become effective as soon as reasonably practicable.
