PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED JULY 23, 1999
How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares of the Fund
The section entitled 'How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares of the Fund--How to
Buy Shares' is amended as follows:
The first paragraph under 'Step 2: Choose a Share Class' is amended to read
in its entirety as follows:
Benefit Plans. Certain group retirement plans may purchase Class Z shares
if they meet the required minimum for amount of assets, average account
balance or number of eligible employees. For more information about these
requirements, call Prudential at (800) 353-2847.
Mutual Fund Programs. Class Z shares can also be purchased by participants
in any fee-based program or trust program sponsored by Prudential or an
affiliate that includes the Fund as an available option. Class Z shares can
also be purchased by investors in certain programs sponsored by
broker-dealers, investment advisers and financial planners who have
agreements with Prudential Investments Advisory Group relating to:
- Mutual fund 'wrap' or asset allocation programs, where the sponsor
places Fund trades, links its clients' accounts to a master account in
the sponsor's name and charges its clients a management, consulting or
other fee for its services; or
- Mutual fund 'supermarket' programs, where the sponsor links its clients'
accounts to a master account in the sponsor's name and the sponsor
charges a fee for its services.
Broker-dealers, investment advisers or financial planners sponsoring
these mutual fund programs may offer their clients more than one class of
shares in the Fund in connection with different pricing options for their
programs. Investors should consider carefully any separate transaction and
other fees charged by these programs in connection with investing in each
available share class before selecting a share class.
