PRUDENTIAL UTILITY FUND
a series of Prudential Sector Funds, Inc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supplement Dated November 1, 2000
Prospectus Dated February 1, 2000
On October 25, 2000, the Board of Directors of Prudential Sector Funds, Inc.
approved the proposal summarized below. The proposal will be submitted for
approval by shareholders of the Prudential Utility Fund (the Fund) at an Annual
Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on January 17, 2001.
The following information supplements the information contained in the
Prospectus of the Fund on page 2:
'Risk/Return Summary--Principal Risks:
The Fund is currently diversified. If approved by shareholders, the Fund
will be permitted to be managed as a nondiversified fund.
As a nondiversified fund, we can invest more than 5% of the Fund's assets in
the securities of any one issuer. Investing in a nondiversified fund involves
greater risk than investing in a diversified mutual fund because a loss
resulting from the decline in value of one security may represent a greater
portion of the total assets of a nondiversified fund.
