RE: IMPORTANT PROXY MATERIAL -- IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED
Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to enclose a notice and proxy statement for a special meeting
of shareholders of the Prudential Mutual Funds to be held on June 23, 1994. You
are being asked to approve, among other things, a proposal to permit the
automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a specified
number of years. Thereafter, converted shares will be subject to the lower
annual distribution-related fees applicable to Class A shares.

The proxy statement also includes proposals to revise the current
distribution and service plans for Class A and Class B shares and other
proposals recommended by the Fund's Manager and Subadviser.

Please read the enclosed materials carefully. The proxy statement discusses
each proposal in detail and the reasons why the Board of Directors/Trustees
recommend that you vote in favor of those proposals.

The Fund is using Shareholder Communications Corporation (SCC), a
professional proxy solicitation firm, to assist shareholders in the voting
process. If we have not yet received your proxy card as the date of the meeting
approaches, you may receive a telephone call from SCC reminding you to exercise
your right to vote.

Your vote is critical in allowing your Fund to hold the meeting as
scheduled. Please take a moment now to sign and return the proxy card in the
enclosed postage-paid envelope. If less than a majority of the eligible shares
are represented, the Fund, at shareholders' expense, will have to continue to
solicit votes until a quorum is obtained. Your prompt attention in this matter
benefits all shareholders. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lawrence C. McQuade
PRESIDENT

many you receive.

PROXY STATEMENT
------------------------

This statement is furnished by the Trustees of the Conservatively Managed
Portfolio and the Strategy Portfolio (each a Portfolio) of Prudential FlexiFund
(the Fund) in connection with their solicitation of proxies for use at a Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 3:00 P.M. on June 23, 1994, at 199 Water
Street, New York, New York 10292, the Fund's principal executive office. The
purpose of the Meeting and the matters to be acted upon are set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Special Meeting.

If the accompanying form of Proxy is executed properly and returned, shares
represented by it will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the
instructions on the Proxy. However, if no instructions are specified, shares
will be voted for the election of Trustees and for each of the other proposals.
A Proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the time it is voted by written
notice to the Secretary of the Fund or by attendance at the Meeting. If
sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposed items are not received,
the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting
to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or
represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named
as proxies will vote for the proposed adjournment all shares that they are
entitled to vote with respect to each item, unless directed to disapprove the
item, in which case such shares will be voted against the proposed adjournment.

If a Proxy that is properly executed and returned accompanied by
instructions to withhold authority to vote represents a broker "non-vote" (that
is, a Proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not
received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote
shares on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or nominee does
not have discretionary power), the shares represented thereby will be considered
not to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a
quorum for the transaction of business and be deemed not cast with respect to
such proposal. If no instructions are received by the broker or nominee from the
shareholder with reference to routine matters, the shares represented thereby

1
<PAGE>
may be considered for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the
transaction of business and will be deemed cast with respect to such proposal.
Also, a properly executed and returned proxy marked with an abstention will be
considered present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a
quorum for the transaction of business. However, abstentions and broker
"non-votes" do not constitute a vote "for" or "against" the matter, but have the
effect of a negative vote on matters which require approval by a requisite
percentage of the outstanding shares.

The close of business on March 31, 1994 has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the
Meeting. On that date, the Fund had 40,804,076 shares of beneficial interest
outstanding and entitled to vote in the Conservatively Managed Portfolio,
consisting of 2,881,974 Class A shares and 37,922,102 Class B shares and
33,637,299 shares of beneficial interest outstanding and entitled to vote in the
Strategy Portfolio, consisting of 2,610,427 Class A shares and 31,026,872 Class
B shares. Each share will be entitled to one vote at the Meeting. It is expected
that the Notice of Special Meeting, Proxy Statement and form of Proxy will first
be mailed to shareholders on or about April 22, 1994.

Management does not know of any person or group who owned beneficially 5% or
more of the outstanding shares of either class of beneficial interest of either
Portfolio as of March 31, 1994.

The expense of solicitation will be borne by the Fund and will include
reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for expenses in forwarding proxy
solicitation material to beneficial owners. The solicitation of proxies will be
largely by mail. The Trustees of the Fund have authorized management to retain
Shareholder Communications Corporation, a proxy solicitation firm, to assist in
the solicitation of proxies for this Meeting. This cost, including specified
expenses, is not expected to exceed $56,000 and will be borne by the Fund. In
addition, solicitation may include, without cost to the Fund, telephonic,
telegraphic or oral communication by regular employees of Prudential Securities
Incorporated (Prudential Securities) and its affiliates.

At a meeting held on February 8, 1994, the Trustees approved a proposal to
change the name of the Fund to Prudential Allocation Fund. The name change does
not require, and is not being submitted for, shareholder approval and will not
be implemented until it is reflected in the Fund's Prospectus. The names of the
Portfolios and their investment objectives and policies will not be affected by
this change.

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
(PROPOSAL NO. 1)

At the Meeting, seven Trustees will be elected to hold office for a term of
unlimited duration until their successors are elected and qualify. It is the
intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy to vote for the
election of Edward D. Beach, Donald D. Lennox, Douglas H. McCorkindale, Lawrence
C. McQuade, Thomas T. Mooney, Richard A. Redeker and Louis A. Weil, III, all of
whom are currently Trustees. Each of the nominees has consented to be named in
the Proxy Statement and to serve as a Trustee if elected. All of the Trustees,
except for Mr. Redeker, have previously been elected by shareholders. Messrs.
Beach, Lennox, McCorkindale, Mooney and Weil have served as Trustees of the Fund
since March 12, 1987, and Mr. McQuade has served as a Trustee since February 18,
1988. Mr. Redeker has served as a Trustee since November 9, 1993.

The Trustees have no reason to believe that any of the nominees named above
will become unavailable for election as a Trustee, but if that should occur
before the Meeting, proxies will be voted for such persons as the Trustees may
recommend.

As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not required to hold annual
meetings of shareholders. The Fund's By-Laws provide that the Fund will not be
required to hold annual meetings of shareholders if the election of Trustees is
not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
Investment Company Act). It is the present intention of the Trustees not to hold
annual meetings of shareholders unless such shareholder action is required.

* Indicates "interested" Trustee, as defined in the Investment Company Act,

</TABLE>

The Trustees and officers of the Fund as a group owned beneficially 415
shares of the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and 5,315 shares of the Strategy
Portfolio of the Fund at March 31, 1994, representing less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of each Portfolio of the Fund.

The Fund pays annual compensation of $8,500, plus travel and incidental
expenses, to each of the five Trustees not affiliated with PMF or Prudential
Securities. The Trustees have the option to receive the Trustee's fee pursuant
to a deferred fee agreement with the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Fund accrues daily the amount of such Trustee's fee which accrues interest at a
rate equivalent to the prevailing rate applicable to 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills
at the beginning of each calendar quarter or, pursuant to an exemptive order of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), at the rate of return of the Fund.
Payment of the interest so accrued is also deferred and accruals become payable
at the option of the Trustee. The Fund's obligation to make payments of deferred
Trustees' fees, together with interest thereon, is a general obligation of the
Fund. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, the Fund paid Trustees' fees
of approximately $51,000, and travel and incidental expenses of approximately
$2,774.

There were three regular meetings and three special meetings of the Fund's
Trustees held during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993. The Trustees presently
have an Audit Committee, the members of which are Messrs. Beach, Lennox,
McCorkindale, Mooney and Weil, the Fund's non-interested Trustees. The Audit
Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993. The Audit
Committee makes recommendations to the Trustees with respect to the engagement
of independent accountants and reviews with the independent

10
<PAGE>
accountants the plan and results of the audit engagement and matters having a
material effect upon the Fund's financial operations. The Trustees also have a
Nominating Committee, comprised of the Fund's non-interested Trustees, which
selects and proposes candidates for election as Trustees. The Nominating
Committee met once during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993. The Nominating
Committee does not consider nominees recommended by shareholders to fill Trustee
vacancies.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, no Trustee attended fewer than
75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Trustees and any
committees thereof of which such Trustee was a member.

The executive officers of the Fund, other than as shown above, are: S. Jane
Rose, Secretary, having held office since March 12, 1987; Robert F. Gunia, Vice
President, and Susan C. Cote, Treasurer and Principal Financial and Accounting
Officer, both having held office since October 7, 1987; and Marguerite E.H.
Morrison, Assistant Secretary, having held office since May 15, 1991. Mr. Gunia
is 47 years old and is currently Chief Administrative Officer (since July 1990),
Director, Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer (since
June 1987) of PMF and Senior Vice President (since March 1987) of Prudential
Securities. He is also Vice President and Director (since May 1989) of The Asia
Pacific Fund, Inc. Ms. Cote is 39 years old and is a Senior Vice President
(since January 1989) of PMF and a Senior Vice President of Prudential Securities
(since January 1992). Prior thereto, she was a Vice President (January
1986-December 1991) of Prudential Securities. Ms. Rose is 38 years old and is a
Senior Vice President (since January 1991) and Senior Counsel (since June 1987)
of PMF and a Senior Vice President and Senior Counsel of Prudential Securities
(since July 1992). Prior thereto, she was a First Vice President (June
1987-December 1990) of PMF and a Vice President and Associate General Counsel of
Prudential Securities. Ms. Morrison is 38 years old and is a Vice President and
Associate General Counsel (since July 1991) of PMF and a Vice President and
Associate General Counsel of Prudential Securities. The executive officers of
the Fund are elected annually by the Trustees.

REQUIRED VOTE

Trustees must be elected by a vote of a plurality of the shares present at
the Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereupon, provided that
a quorum is present.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

THE MANAGER

Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. (PMF or the Manager), One Seaport
Plaza, New York, New York 10292, serves as the Fund's Manager under a management
agreement dated as of March 1, 1988 (the Management Agreement).

The Management Agreement was last approved by the Trustees of the Fund,
including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to such contract or
interested persons of such parties (as defined in the Investment Company Act) on
May 4, 1993 and was approved by shareholders on February 19, 1988.

TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, PMF, subject to the supervision of the
Fund's Trustees and in conformity with the stated policies of the Fund, is
responsible for managing or providing for the management of the investment of
the Fund's assets. In this regard, PMF provides supervision of the Fund's
investments, furnishes a continuous investment program for the Fund's portfolios
and places purchase and sale orders for portfolio securities of the Fund and
other investments. The Prudential Investment Company (PIC), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), provides
such services pursuant to a subadvisory agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement)
with PMF. PMF also administers the Fund's business affairs, subject to the
supervision of the Fund's Trustees, and, in connection therewith, furnishes the
Fund with office facilities, together with those ordinary clerical and
bookkeeping services which are not being furnished by the Fund's Transfer and
Dividend Disbursing Agent and Custodian.

PMF has authorized any of its directors, officers and employees who have
been elected as Trustees or officers of the Fund to serve in the capacities in
which they have been elected. All services furnished by PMF under the Management
Agreement may be furnished by any such directors, officers or employees of PMF.
In connection with its administration of the corporate affairs of the Fund, PMF
bears the following expenses:

(a) the salaries and expenses of all personnel of the Fund and PMF, except
the fees and expenses of Trustees not affiliated with PMF or the Fund's
investment adviser;

12
<PAGE>
(b) all expenses incurred by PMF or by the Fund in connection with
administering the ordinary course of the Fund's business, other than
those assumed by the Fund, as described below; and

The Fund pays PMF for the services performed and the facilities furnished by
it a fee at an annual rate of .65 of 1% of the average net assets of each
Portfolio. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. For the fiscal year ended
July 31, 1993, PMF received management fees of $1,837,757 and $2,362,366 on
behalf of the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and the Strategy Portfolio,
respectively.

The Management Agreement provides that, if the expenses of the Fund
(including the fees of PMF, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, distribution fees and litigation and indemnification expenses and
other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's
business) for any fiscal year exceed the lowest applicable annual expense
limitation established and enforced pursuant to the statutes or regulations of
any jurisdiction in which shares of the Fund are then qualified for offer and
sale, the compensation due PMF will be reduced by the amount of such excess, or
if such reduction exceeds the compensation payable to PMF, PMF will pay the Fund
the amount of such reduction which exceeds the amount of such compensation. Any
such reductions or payments are subject to readjustment during the year. No such
reductions or payments were required during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993.
The Fund believes the most restrictive of such annual limitations is 2 1/2% of a
fund's average daily net assets up to $30 million, 2% of the next $70 million of
such assets and 1 1/2% of such assets in excess of $100 million.

Except as indicated above, the Fund is responsible under the Management
Agreement for the payment of its expenses, including (a) the fees payable to
PMF, (b) the fees and expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated with PMF or
the investment adviser, (c) the fees and certain expenses of the Fund's
Custodian and Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent, including the cost of
providing records of the Fund and of pricing Fund shares, (d) the charges and
expenses of the Fund's legal counsel and independent accountants, (e) brokerage
commissions and any issue or transfer taxes chargeable to the Fund in connection
with its securities transactions, (f) all taxes and corporate fees payable by
the Fund to governmental agencies, (g) the fees of any trade association of
which the Fund may be a member, (h) the cost of any stock certificates
representing shares of the Fund, (i) the cost of fidelity and liability
insurance, (j) certain

13
<PAGE>

organization expenses of the Fund and the fees and expenses involved in
registering and maintaining registration of the Fund and of its shares with the
SEC and registering the Fund and qualifying its shares under state securities
laws, including the preparation and printing of the Fund's registration
statements and prospectuses for such purposes, (k) allocable communications
expenses with respect to investor services and all expenses of shareholders' and
Trustees' meetings and of preparing, printing and mailing reports, proxy
statements and prospectuses to shareholders in the amount necessary for
distribution to the shareholders, (l) litigation and indemnification expenses
and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the
Fund's business and (m) distribution fees.

The Management Agreement provides that PMF will not be liable to the Fund
for any error of judgment by PMF or for any loss suffered by the Fund in
connection with the matters to which the Management Agreement relates except a
loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of
compensation for services or willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of duty. The Management Agreement also provides that it will
terminate automatically if assigned and that it may be terminated without
penalty by the Trustees of the Fund, by vote of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act) or by
the Manager, upon not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice.

Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement, PIC, subject to the supervision of
PMF and the Trustees and in conformity with the stated policies of the Fund,
manages the investment operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund's
portfolios, including the purchase, retention and disposition of securities and
other investments. PIC is reimbursed by PMF for reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by it in furnishing such services. The fees paid by the Fund to PMF
under the Management Agreement with PMF are not affected by this arrangement.
PIC keeps certain books and records required to be maintained

17

to the Fund are not exclusive under the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement and
PIC is free to, and does, render investment advisory services to others.

elected as Trustees or officers of the Fund to serve in the capacities in which
they have been elected. Services furnished by PIC under the Subadvisory
Agreement may be furnished by any such directors, officers or employees of PIC.
The Subadvisory Agreement provides that PIC shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or for any loss suffered by the Fund or PMF in connection with the
matters to which the Subadvisory Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on PIC's part in the
performance of its duties or from its reckless disregard of duty. The
Subadvisory Agreement provides that it shall terminate automatically if assigned
or upon termination of the Management Agreement and that it may be terminated
without penalty by either party upon not more than 60 days' nor less than 30
days' written notice.

THE DISTRIBUTORS

Prudential Mutual Fund Distributors, Inc. (PMFD), One Seaport Plaza, New
York, New York 10292, acts as the distributor of the Class A shares of the Fund.
Prudential Securities, One Seaport Plaza, New York, New York 10292, acts as the
distributor of the Class B shares of the Fund.

Under separate Distribution and Service Plans (the Class A Plan and the
Class B Plan, collectively, the Plans) adopted by the Fund under Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act and separate distribution agreements (the
Distribution Agreements), PMFD and Prudential Securities (collectively, the
Distributor) incur the expenses of distributing the Fund's Class A and Class B
shares, respectively.

The Plans were last approved by the Trustees, including a majority of the
Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Class A or Class B Plan or
in any agreement related to either Plan (the Rule 12b-1 Trustees), on May 4,
1993. The Class A Plan was approved by the Class A shareholders of each
Portfolio on December 19, 1990. The Class B Plan was approved by the Class B
shareholders of each Portfolio on January 11, 1990.

The plans are proposed to be amended as set forth in Proposals No. 3 and 4
below.

CLASS A PLAN. Under the Class A Plan, the Fund reimburses PMFD for its
distribution-related expenses with respect to Class A shares of each Portfolio
at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the
Class A shares. The Class A Plan provides that (i) up to .25 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Class A shares may be used for personal service
and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts (service fee) and (ii) total
distribution fees (including the service fee of .25 of 1%) may not exceed .30 of
1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. PMFD has advised the
Fund that distribution-related expenses of the Fund will not exceed .25 of 1% of
the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of each Portfolio for the
fiscal year ending July 31, 1994.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, PMFD received payments of $30,784
for the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and $48,431 for the Strategy Portfolio
under the Class A Plan representing .20 of 1% of the average daily net assets of
the Class A shares of each Portfolio as reimbursement of expenses related to the
distribution of Class A shares. These amounts were primarily expended on account
servicing fees to Prudential Securities and Pruco Securities Corporation, an
affiliated broker-dealer (Prusec), for payments to financial

20
<PAGE>
advisers and other salespersons who sell Class A shares. For the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1993, PMFD also received $405,000 and $338,000 on behalf of the
Conservatively Managed Portfolio and Strategy Portfolio, respectively, in
initial sales charges.

CLASS B PLAN. Under the Class B Plan, the Fund reimburses Prudential
Securities for its distribution-related expenses with respect to Class B shares
of each Portfolio at an annual rate of up to .75 of 1% of the average daily net
assets of the Class B shares. The Class B Plan also provides for the payment of
a service fee to Prudential Securities at a rate not to exceed .25 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of Class B shares of each Portfolio. The aggregate
distribution fee for Class B shares (asset-based sales charge plus service fee)
will not exceed 1% of average daily net assets under the Class B Plan.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, it is estimated that Prudential
Securities spent approximately the following amounts on behalf of the Portfolios
of the Fund:

* Including lease, utility and sales promotional expenses.
</TABLE>

The term "overhead costs" represents (a) the expenses of operating the
branch offices of Prudential Securities and Prusec in connection with the sale
of Fund shares, including lease costs, the salaries and employee benefits of
operations and sales support personnel, utility costs, communication costs and
the costs of stationery and supplies, (b) the cost of client sales seminars, (c)
expenses of mutual fund sales coordinators to promote the sale of Fund shares
and (d) other incidental expenses relating to branch promotion of sales.

Prudential Securities also receives the proceeds of contingent deferred
sales charges paid by holders of Class B shares upon certain redemptions of
Class B shares. The amount of distribution expenses reimbursable by Class B
shares of the Fund is reduced by the amount of such contingent deferred sales
charges. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, Prudential Securities received
approximately $425,000 on behalf of the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and

21
<PAGE>
$736,000 on behalf of the Strategic Portfolio, in contingent deferred sales
charges. As of December 31, 1993, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
distribution expenses for the Fund's Class B shares was approximately
$20,079,700 ($11,499,600 for the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and $8,580,100
for the Strategy Portfolio).

The Class A and Class B Plans continue in effect from year to year, provided
that each such continuance is approved at least annually by a vote of the
Trustees, including a majority vote of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such continuance. The Class A
and Class B Plans may each be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the
vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class on not more than 30
days' written notice to any other party to the Plans. Neither Plan may be
amended to increase materially the amounts to be spent for the services
described therein without approval by the shareholders of the applicable class,
and all material amendments are required to be approved by the Trustees in the
manner described above. Each Plan will automatically terminate in the event of
its assignment. The Fund will not be contractually obligated to pay expenses
incurred under either the Class A Plan or the Class B Plan if it is terminated
or not continued. In the event of termination or noncontinuation of the Class B
Plan, the Trustees may consider the appropriateness of having the Fund reimburse
Prudential Securities for the outstanding carry forward amounts plus interest
thereon.

Pursuant to each Plan, the Trustees review at least quarterly a written
report of the distribution expenses incurred on behalf of the Class A and Class
B shares of the Portfolios of the Fund by PMFD and Prudential Securities,
respectively. The report includes an itemization of the distribution expenses
and the purposes of such expenditures. In addition, as long as the Plans remain
in effect, the selection and nomination of Rule 12b-1 Trustees shall be
committed to the Rule 12b-1 Trustees.

Pursuant to each Distribution Agreement, the Fund has agreed to indemnify
PMFD and Prudential Securities to the extent permitted by applicable law against
certain liabilities under the Securities Act. Each Distribution Agreement was
last approved by the Trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees,
on May 4, 1993.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Manager is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities and
options on securities and futures for each Portfolio of the Fund, the selection
of

22
<PAGE>
brokers, dealers and futures commission merchants to effect the transactions and
the negotiation of brokerage commissions, if any. For purposes of this section,
the term "Manager" includes the Subadviser. Broker-dealers may receive
negotiated brokerage commissions on Fund portfolio transactions, including
options and the purchase and sale of underlying securities upon the exercise of
options. Orders may be directed to any broker or futures commission merchant
including, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law,
Prudential Securities and its affiliates.

Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and bonds are
generally traded on a "net" basis with dealers acting as principal for their own
accounts without a stated commission, although the price of the security usually
includes a profit to the dealer. In underwritten offerings, securities are
purchased at a fixed price which includes an amount of compensation to the
underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount.
On occasion, certain money market instruments and U.S. Government agency
securities may be purchased directly from the issuer, in which case no
commissions or discounts are paid. The Fund will not deal with Prudential
Securities (or any affiliate) in any transaction in which Prudential Securities
(or any affiliate) acts as principal. Thus, it will not deal with Prudential
Securities (or any affiliate) acting as market maker, and it will not execute a
negotiated trade with Prudential Securities if execution involves Prudential
Securities (or any affiliate) acting as principal with respect to any part of
the Fund's order.

In placing orders for portfolio securities of the Fund, the Manager is
required to give primary consideration to obtaining the most favorable price and
efficient execution. Within the framework of this policy, the Manager will
consider the research and investment services provided by brokers, dealers or
futures commission merchants who effect or are parties to portfolio transactions
of the Fund, the Manager or the Manager's other clients. Such research and
investment services are those which brokerage houses customarily provide to
institutional investors and include statistical and economic data and research
reports on particular companies and industries. Such services are used by the
Manager in connection with all of its investment activities, and some of such
services obtained in connection with the execution of transactions for the Fund
may be used in managing other investment accounts. Conversely, brokers, dealers
or futures commission merchants furnishing such services may be selected for the
execution of transactions of such other accounts, whose aggregate assets are far
larger than the Fund's, and the services furnished by such brokers, dealers or
futures commission merchants may be used by the Manager in providing investment
management for the Fund. Commission rates are established pursuant to
negotiations with the broker, dealer or futures commission

23
<PAGE>

merchant based on the quality and quantity of execution services provided by the
broker, dealer or futures commission merchant in light of generally prevailing
rates. The Manager's policy is to pay higher commissions to brokers, other than
Prudential Securities, for particular transactions than might be charged if a
different broker had been selected, on occasions when, in the Manager's opinion,
this policy furthers the objective of obtaining best price and execution. In
addition, the manager is authorized to pay higher commissions on brokerage
transactions for the Fund to brokers other than Prudential Securities in order
to secure research and investment services described above, subject to review by
the Fund's Trustees from time to time as to the extent and continuation of this
practice. The allocation of orders among brokers and the commission rates paid
are reviewed periodically by the Fund's Trustees. Portfolio securities may not
be purchased from any underwriting or selling syndicate of which Prudential
Securities (or any affiliate), during the existence of the syndicate, is a
principal underwriter (as defined in the Investment Company Act), except in
accordance with rules of the SEC. This limitation, in the opinion of the Fund,
will not significantly affect the ability of the Portfolios to pursue their
investment objectives. However, in the future in other circumstances, the
Portfolios may be at a disadvantage because of this limitation in comparison to
other funds with similar objectives but not subject to such limitations.

Subject to the above considerations, Prudential Securities may act as a
securities broker or futures commission merchant for the Fund. In order for
Prudential Securities (or any affiliate) to effect any portfolio transactions
for the Fund, the commissions, fees or other remuneration received by Prudential
Securities (or any affiliate) must be reasonable and fair compared to the
commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to other brokers or futures
commission merchants in connection with comparable transactions involving
similar securities or futures being purchased or sold on an exchange during a
comparable period of time. This standard would allow Prudential Securities (or
any affiliate) to receive no more than the remuneration which would be expected
to be received by an unaffiliated broker or futures commission merchant in a
commensurate arm's-length transaction. Furthermore, the Trustees of the Fund,
including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, have adopted procedures which
are reasonably designed to provide that any commissions, fees or other
remuneration paid to Prudential Securities or any affiliate are consistent with
the foregoing standard. In accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, Prudential Securities may not retain compensation for
effecting transactions on a national securities exchange for the Fund unless the
Fund has expressly authorized the retention of such compensation. Prudential
Securities must furnish to the Fund at least annually a statement setting forth

24
<PAGE>

the total amount of all compensation retained by Prudential Securities from
transactions effected for the Fund during the applicable period. Brokerage and
futures transactions with Prudential Securities (or any affiliate) are also
subject to such fiduciary standards as may be imposed upon Prudential Securities
(or such affiliate) by applicable law.

The table below sets forth information concerning the payment of commissions
by the Fund, including the commissions paid to Prudential Securities, for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1993:

other services to PIC on behalf of those Portfolios.

APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL TO AMEND
THE FUND'S DECLARATION OF TRUST TO PERMIT
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONVERSION FEATURE
(FOR CONSIDERATION BY CLASS A AND CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS, VOTING JOINTLY)
(PROPOSAL NO. 2)

The Trustees are recommending that shareholders approve an amendment to the
Fund's Declaration of Trust to permit the implementation of a conversion feature
for Class B shares of each Portfolio. The conversion feature is authorized
pursuant to an exemptive order of the SEC (the SEC Order) and would provide for
the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares of each Portfolio
at relative net asset value approximately seven years after purchase. Class A
shares are subject to a lower annual distribution and service fee than Class B
shares and conversions would occur without the imposition of any additional
sales charge. A description of the conversion feature is set forth in greater
detail below. Amendment of the Declaration of Trust requires approval by a
majority of the Fund's outstanding shares.

THE CLASSES OF SHARES

The Fund currently offers two classes of shares for each Portfolio,
designated as Class A and Class B shares pursuant to the Alternative Purchase
Plan, in reliance upon the SEC Order. Class A shares are currently offered with
an initial sales charge of up to 5.25% of the offering price and are subject to
an annual distribution and service fee of up to .30 of 1% of the average daily
net assets of the Class A shares of each Portfolio pursuant to a Rule 12b-1
plan. This fee is currently charged at a rate of .25 of 1% of the average daily
net assets of the Class A shares and PMFD has agreed to so limit its fee under
the Class A Plan of each Portfolio for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1994.
Class B shares are currently offered without an initial sales charge but are
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge or CDSC (declining from 5% to zero
of the lesser of the amount invested or the redemption proceeds) on certain
redemptions generally made within six years of purchase and to an annual
distribution and service fee pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan of up to 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Class B shares.

In accordance with the SEC Order, the Trustees may, among other things,
authorize the creation of additional classes of shares from time to time. The
Trustees have approved the offering of a new class of shares for each Portfolio,
to be designated Class C shares, which will be offered simultaneously with the
offering of Class B shares with the proposed conversion feature. It is
anticipated that Class C shares will be offered without an initial sales charge
but will be subject to an annual distribution and service fee not to exceed 1%
of the average

26
<PAGE>

daily net assets of the Class C shares and, subject to approval by the Trustees,
a 1% CDSC on certain redemptions made within one year of purchase. If the
proposed conversion feature for Class B shares of each Portfolio is not
approved, Class C shares will not be offered.

THE PROPOSED CONVERSION FEATURE

On March 17, 1993, the Fund's Trustees, including a majority of the Rule
12b-1 Trustees, approved an amendment to the Fund's Declaration of Trust to
permit the implementation of a conversion feature for each Portfolio's Class B
shares. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Fund's Declaration of Trust is
attached hereto as Exhibit B.

If this proposal is approved, it is currently contemplated that conversions
of Class B shares to Class A shares will occur on a quarterly basis
approximately seven years from purchase. The first conversion is currently
anticipated to occur in or about January 1995. Conversions will be effected
automatically at relative net asset value without the imposition of any
additional sales charge. Class B shareholders will benefit from the conversion
feature because they will thereafter be subject to the lower annual distribution
and service fee applicable to Class A shares.

Since the Fund tracks amounts paid rather than the number of shares bought
on each purchase of Class B shares, it is currently anticipated that the number
of Class B shares eligible to convert to Class A shares (excluding shares
acquired through the automatic reinvestment of dividends and other
distributions) (the Eligible Shares) will be determined for each Portfolio on
each conversion date in accordance with the following formula: (i) the ratio of
(a) the amounts paid for Class B shares purchased at least seven years prior to
the conversion date to (b) the total amount paid for all Class B shares
purchased and then held in a shareholder's account (ii) multiplied by the total
number of Class B shares then held in such shareholder's account. Each time any
Eligible Shares in a shareholder's account convert to Class A shares, all shares
or amounts representing Class B shares then in such account that were acquired
through the automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions will
convert to Class A shares.

For purposes of determining the number of Eligible Shares, if the Class B
shares in a shareholder's account on any conversion date are the result of
multiple purchases at different net asset values per share, the number of
Eligible Shares calculated as described above will generally be either more or
less than the number of shares actually purchased approximately seven years
before such conversion date. For example, if 100 shares were initially purchased
at $10

27
<PAGE>

per share (for a total of $1,000) and a second purchase of 100 shares was
subsequently made at $11 per share (for a total of $1,100), 95.24 shares would
convert approximately seven years from the initial purchase (I.E., $1,000
divided by $2,100 (47.62%), multiplied by 200 shares equals 95.24 shares). The
Manager reserves the right to modify the formula for determining the number of
Eligible Shares in the future as it deems appropriate on notice to shareholders.

If the net asset value per share of Class A is higher than that of Class B
at the time of conversion (which may be the case because of the higher
distribution and service fee applicable to Class B shares), shareholders will
receive fewer Class A shares than Class B shares converted, although the
aggregate dollar value will be the same.

For purposes of calculating the applicable holding period for conversions,
all payments for purchases of Class B shares during a month will be deemed to
have been made on the last day of the month, or for Class B shares acquired
through exchange, or a series of exchanges, on the last day of the month in
which the original payment for purchases of such Class B shares was made. For
Class B shares previously exchanged for shares of a money market fund, the time
period during which such shares were held in the money market fund will be
excluded. For example, Class B shares held in a money market fund for a period
of one year will not convert to Class A shares until approximately eight years
from purchase. For purposes of measuring the time period during which shares are
held in a money market fund, exchanges will be deemed to have been made on the
last day of the month. Class B shares acquired through exchange will convert to
Class A shares after expiration of the conversion period applicable to the
original purchase of such shares. As of the date of the first conversion (which,
as noted above, is currently anticipated to occur in or about January 1995) all
amounts representing Class B shares then outstanding beyond the expiration of
the applicable conversion period will automatically convert to Class A shares,
together with all shares or amounts representing Class B shares acquired through
the automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions then held in the
shareholder's account.

The Fund has obtained an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares does not constitute a taxable
event for U.S. income tax purposes. However, such opinion is not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service.

If approved by shareholders, the conversion feature may be subject to the
continuing availability of opinions of counsel or rulings of the Internal
Revenue Service (i) that the dividends and other distributions paid on Class A
and Class B shares will not constitute "preferential dividends" under the
Internal

28
<PAGE>

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (ii) that the conversion of shares does
not constitute a taxable event. The conversion of Class B shares into Class A
shares may be suspended if such opinions or rulings are no longer available. If
conversions are suspended, Class B shares of the Fund will continue to be
subject, indefinitely, to their higher annual distribution and service fee.

REQUIRED VOTE

The proposed amendment to the Fund's Declaration of Trust to implement the
conversion feature requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares. In the event shareholders of the Fund do not approve the
proposed amendment, the conversion feature will not be implemented for the Fund
and Class B shares of the Fund will continue to be subject, possibly
indefinitely, to their higher annual distribution and service fee.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND
RESTATED CLASS A DISTRIBUTION
AND SERVICE PLAN
(FOR CONSIDERATION BY CLASS A AND CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS, VOTING SEPARATELY)
(PROPOSAL NO. 3)

On May 4, 1993, the Fund's Trustees approved an amended and restated Class A
Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act and an amended and restated Distribution Agreement with PMFD for
Class A shares of the Fund (the Proposed Class A Plan and the Proposed Class A
Distribution Agreement, respectively) and recommend submission of the Proposed
Class A Plan to the Class A shareholders of each Portfolio for approval or
disapproval at this Special Meeting of Shareholders. As contemplated by the SEC
Order (previously defined under Proposal No. 2 above), the Proposed Class A Plan
is also being submitted for approval by Class B shareholders because, subject to
approval of Proposal No. 2, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A
shares approximately seven years after purchase. The Proposed Class A
Distribution Agreement does not require, and is not being submitted for,
shareholder approval.

The purpose of the Proposed Class A Plan is to compensate PMFD, the
distributor of the Fund's Class A shares, for providing distribution assistance
to broker-dealers, including Prudential Securities and Prusec, affiliated
broker-dealers, and other qualified broker-dealers, if any, whose customers
invest in

29
<PAGE>
Class A shares of the Fund and to defray the costs and expenses, including the
payment of account servicing fees, of the services provided and activities
undertaken to distribute Class A shares (Distribution Activities).

The Trustees previously adopted a plan of distribution for the Fund's Class
A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act which was
approved by shareholders on December 19, 1990 and last approved by the Trustees
on May 4, 1993 (the Existing Class A Plan). Shareholders of the Fund's Class A
and Class B shares are being asked to approve amendments to the Existing Class A
Plan that change it from a reimbursement type plan to a compensation type plan.
The amendments do not change the maximum annual fee that may be paid to PMFD
under the Existing Class A Plan, although the possibility exists that expenses
incurred by PMFD and for which it is entitled to be reimbursed under the
Existing Class A Plan may be less than the fee PMFD will receive under the
Proposed Class A Plan. The amendments are being proposed to facilitate
administration and accounting. The Trustees believe that the Proposed Class A
Plan is in the best interest of the Fund and is reasonably likely to benefit the
Fund's Class A shareholders. A copy of the Proposed Class A Plan is attached
hereto as Exhibit C.

THE EXISTING CLASS A PLAN

Under the Existing Class A Plan, the Fund reimburses PMFD for expenses
incurred for Distribution Activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Class A shares of each Portfolio (up to .25 of
1% of which may constitute a service fee for the servicing and maintenance of
shareholder accounts). Article III, Section 26 of the NASD Rules of Fair
Practice (the NASD Rules) places an annual limit of .25 of 1% on fees that may
be imposed for the provision of personal service and/or the maintenance of
shareholder accounts (service fees) and an annual limit of .75 of 1% on
asset-based sales charges (as defined in the NASD Rules). Subject to these
limits, the Fund may impose any combination of service fees and asset-based
sales charges under both the Existing Class A Plan and the Proposed Class A
Plan, provided that the total fees do not exceed .30 of 1% per annum of the
average daily net assets of the Class A shares.

The Existing Class A Plan may not be amended to increase materially the
amount to be spent for the services described therein without approval by a
majority of the holders of the Class A shares of each Portfolio of the Fund. In
addition, all material amendments thereof must be approved by vote of a majority
of the Trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, cast in

30
<PAGE>

person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. So long as the
Existing Class A Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Rule 12b-1
Trustees will be committed to the discretion of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees.

The Existing Class A Plan may be terminated at any time without payment of
any penalty by the vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by the vote
of a majority of the outstanding Class A shares of a Portfolio (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) on written notice to any other party to such Plan
and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in
the Investment Company Act). For a more detailed description of the Existing
Class A Plan, see "Management of the Fund--The Distributors--Class A Plan."

THE PROPOSED CLASS A PLAN

The Proposed Class A Plan amends the Existing Class A Plan in one material
respect. Under the Existing Class A Plan, the Fund reimburses PMFD for expenses
actually incurred for Distribution Activities up to a maximum of .30 of 1% per
annum of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The Proposed Class
A Plan authorizes the Fund to pay PMFD the same maximum annual fee as
compensation for its Distribution Activities regardless of the expenses incurred
by PMFD for Distribution Activities. The Distributor may, however, as it
currently does, voluntarily agree to limit its fee to an amount less than the
maximum annual fee. In contrast to the Existing Class A Plan, the amounts
payable by the Fund under the Proposed Class A Plan would not be directly
related to the expenses actually incurred by PMFD for its Distribution
Activities. Consequently, if PMFD's expenses for Distribution Activities are
less than the distribution and service fees it receives under the Proposed Class
A Plan, it will retain its full fees and realize a profit.

Since inception of the Existing Class A Plan, the reimbursable expenses
incurred thereunder by PMFD have generally equalled or exceeded the amount
reimbursed by the Fund. For each of the fiscal years ended July 31, 1991, 1992
and 1993, PMFD received payments of $5,495, $14,207 and $30,784, respectively,
for the Conservatively Managed Portfolio and $13,389, $31,409 and $48,431,
respectively, for the Strategy Portfolio under the Existing Class A Plan
representing .20 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares for
each Portfolio as reimbursement of expenses incurred for Distribution
Activities. Although PMFD agreed to limit its fees under the Existing Class A
Plan to .20 of 1% for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1991 and July 31, 1992 and
to .25 of 1% for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1993, it in fact limited its fee
to .20 of 1% for all three fiscal years even though its direct and indirect
reimbursable distribution expenses exceeded such amount. PMFD believes that it
would have

31
<PAGE>
similarly limited its fee had the Proposed Class A Plan been in effect during
the past three fiscal years, although it could have assessed the maximum annual
fee of .30 of 1%. Regardless of which Plan will be in effect, the Distributor
has voluntarily agreed to limit its fees for Distribution Activities to no more
than .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of each
Portfolio for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1994. Other expenses incurred by
PMFD for Distribution Activities have been, and will continue to be, paid from
the proceeds of initial sales charges.

Among the major perceived benefits of a compensation type plan, such as the
Proposed Class A Plan, over a reimbursement type plan, such as the Existing
Class A Plan, is the facilitation of administration and accounting. Under
reimbursement plans, all expenses must be specifically accounted for by the
Distributor and attributed to the specific class of shares of a fund in order to
qualify for reimbursement. Although the Proposed Class A Plan will continue to
require quarterly reporting to the Trustees of the amounts accrued and paid
under the Plan and of the expenses actually borne by the Distributor, there will
be no need to match specific expenses to reimbursements as under the Existing
Class A Plan. Thus, the accounting for the Proposed Class A Plan would be
simplified and the timing of when expenditures are to be made by the Distributor
would not be an issue. These considerations, combined with the reasonable
likelihood, although there is no assurance, that the per annum payment rate
under the Proposed Class A Plan will not exceed the expenses incurred by PMFD
for Distribution Activities, suggest that the costs and efforts associated with
a reimbursement plan are unwarranted.

In considering whether to approve the Proposed Class A Plan, the Trustees
reviewed, among other things, the nature and scope of the services to be
provided by PMFD, the purchase options available to investors under the
Alternative Purchase Plan, the amount of expenditures under the Existing Class A
Plan, the relationship of such expenditures to the overall cost structure of
each Portfolio and comparative data with respect to distribution arrangements
adopted by other investment companies. Based upon such review, the Trustees,
including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, determined that there is a
reasonable likelihood that the Proposed Class A Plan will benefit the Fund and
its Class A shareholders.

If approved by shareholders, the Proposed Class A Plan will continue in
effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved at least
annually by vote of a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Rule
12b-1 Trustees.

32
<PAGE>
REQUIRED VOTE

If Proposal No. 2 is approved by shareholders, the Proposed Class A Plan
will require the approval of a majority of the outstanding Class A shares and
Class B shares (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of each Portfolio,
voting separately. If Proposal No. 2 is not approved by shareholders, the
Proposed Class A Plan will only require the approval of a majority of each
Portfolio's outstanding Class A shares. Under the Investment Company Act, a
majority of a class' outstanding voting shares is defined as the lesser of (i)
67% of a class' outstanding voting shares represented at a meeting at which more
than 50% of the outstanding voting shares of the class are present in person or
represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of a class' outstanding voting
shares. If the Proposed Class A Plan is not approved as described above by the
shareholders of a Portfolio, the Existing Class A Plan will continue in its
present form with respect to such Portfolio.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 3.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CLASS B
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
(FOR CONSIDERATION BY CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS ONLY)
(PROPOSAL NO. 4)

On May 4, 1993, the Fund's Trustees approved an amended and restated Class B
Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act and an amended and restated Class B Distribution Agreement with
Prudential Securities for Class B shares of the Fund (the Proposed Class B Plan
and the Proposed Class B Distribution Agreement, respectively) and recommend
submission of the Proposed Class B Plan to the Class B shareholders of each
Portfolio for approval or disapproval at this Special Meeting of Shareholders.
The Proposed Class B Distribution Agreement does not require, and is not being
submitted for, shareholder approval.

The purpose of the Proposed Class B Plan is to compensate Prudential
Securities, the distributor of the Fund's Class B shares, for providing
distribution assistance to broker-dealers, including Prusec, an affiliated
broker-dealer, and other qualified broker-dealers, if any, whose customers
invest in Class B shares of the Fund and to defray the costs and expenses,
including the payment of account servicing fees, of the services provided and
activities undertaken to distribute Class B shares (Distribution Activities).

33
<PAGE>

The Trustees previously adopted a plan of distribution for the Fund's Class
B shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act which was
approved by shareholders on January 11, 1990 and last approved by the Trustees
on May 4, 1993 (the Existing Class B Plan). Shareholders of the Class B shares
of each Portfolio are being asked to approve amendments to the Existing Class B
Plan that change it from a reimbursement type plan to a compensation type plan.
The amendments do not change the maximum annual fee that may be paid to
Prudential Securities under the Existing Class B Plan, although the possibility
exists that expenses incurred by Prudential Securities and for which it is
entitled to be reimbursed under the Existing Class B Plan may be less than the
fee Prudential Securities will receive under the Proposed Class B Plan. The
amendments are being proposed to facilitate administration and accounting. The
Trustees believe that the Proposed Class B Plan is in the best interest of the
Fund and is reasonably likely to benefit the Fund's Class B shareholders. A copy
of the Proposed Class B Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

THE EXISTING CLASS B PLAN

Under the Existing Class B Plan, the Fund reimburses Prudential Securities
for expenses incurred for Distribution Activities at an annual rate of up to 1%
of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares (up to .25 of 1% of which
may constitute a service fee for the servicing and maintenance of shareholder
accounts). Amounts reimbursable under the Plan that are not paid because they
exceed the maximum fee payable thereunder are carried forward and may be
recovered in future years by Prudential Securities from asset-based sales
charges imposed on Class B shares, to the extent such charges do not exceed .75
of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares, and from
contingent deferred sales charges received from certain redeeming shareholders,
subject to the limitations of Article III, Section 26 of the NASD Rules
(previously defined under Proposal No. 3). The NASD Rules place an annual limit
of .25 of 1% on fees that may be imposed for the provision of personal service
and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts (service fees) and an annual
limit of .75 of 1% on asset-based sales charges (as defined in the NASD Rules).
Pursuant to the NASD Rules, the aggregate deferred sales charges and asset-based
sales charges on Class B shares of a Portfolio may not, subject to certain
exclusions, exceed 6.25% of total gross sales of Class B shares of the
Portfolio.

The Existing Class B Plan may not be amended to increase materially the
amount to be spent for the services described therein without approval by a
majority of the holders of the Class B shares of each Portfolio of the Fund. In

34
<PAGE>

addition, all material amendments thereof must be approved by vote of a majority
of the Trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. So long as the
Existing Class B Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Rule 12b-1
Trustees will be committed to the discretion of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees.

The Existing Class B Plan may be terminated at any time without payment of
any penalty by the vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by the vote
of a majority of the outstanding Class B shares of a Portfolio (as defined in
the Investment Company Act) on written notice to any other party to such Plan
and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in
the Investment Company Act). For a more detailed description of the Existing
Class B Plan, see "Management of the Fund--The Distributors--Class B Plan."

THE PROPOSED CLASS B PLAN

The Proposed Class B Plan amends the Existing Class B Plan in one material
respect. Under the Existing Class B Plan, the Fund reimburses Prudential
Securities for expenses actually incurred for Distribution Activities up to a
maximum of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares.
The Proposed Class B Plan authorizes the Fund to pay Prudential Securities the
same maximum annual fee as compensation for its Distribution Activities
regardless of the expenses incurred by Prudential Securities for Distribution
Activities. In contrast to the Existing Class B Plan, the amounts payable by the
Fund under the Proposed Class B Plan would not be directly related to the
expenses actually incurred by Prudential Securities for its Distribution
Activities. Consequently, if Prudential Securities' expenses are less than its
distribution and service fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a
profit. However, if Prudential Securities' expenses exceed the distribution and
service fees received under the Proposed Class B Plan, it will no longer carry
forward such amounts for reimbursement in future years.

Since inception of the Existing Class B Plan, the cumulative reimbursable
expenses incurred thereunder by Prudential Securities have exceeded the amounts
reimbursed by the Fund. As of December 31, 1993, the aggregate amount of
distribution expenses incurred and not yet reimbursed by the Fund or recovered
through contingent deferred sales charges was approximately $11,499,600 for the
Conservatively Managed Portfolio and $8,580,100 for the Strategy Portfolio.

For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1991, 1992 and 1993, Prudential
Securities received $1,499,059, $1,893,579 and $2,673,399, respectively, from
the Fund under the Existing Class B Plan for the Conservatively Managed
Portfolio,

35
<PAGE>
representing 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares of that
Portfolio in each year, and spent approximately $2,096,700, $3,414,500 and
$4,574,800, respectively, for Distribution Activities for that Portfolio. For
the fiscal years ended July 31, 1991, 1992 and 1993, Prudential Securities
received $1,842,184, $2,675,247 and $3,392,254, respectively, from the Fund
under the Existing Class B Plan for the Strategy Portfolio, representing 1% of
the average daily net assets of the Class B shares of that Portfolio in each
year, and spent approximately $3,037,900, $4,841,800 and $3,861,500,
respectively, for Distribution Activities for that Portfolio. Since the maximum
annual fee under the Existing Class B Plan is the same as under the Proposed
Class B Plan, Prudential Securities would have received the same annual fee for
each Portfolio under the Proposed Class B Plan as it did under the Existing
Class B Plan for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1991, 1992 and 1993.

Among the major perceived benefits of a compensation type plan, such as the
Proposed Class B Plan, over a reimbursement type plan, such as the Existing
Class B Plan, is the facilitation of administration and accounting. Under
reimbursement plans, all expenses must be specifically accounted for by the
distributor and attributed to the specific class of shares of a fund in order to
qualify for reimbursement. Although the Proposed Class B Plan will continue to
require quarterly reporting to the Trustees of the amounts accrued and paid
under the Plan and of the expenses actually borne by the Distributor, there will
be no need to match specific expenses to reimbursements and no carrying forward
of such amounts, as under the Existing Class B Plan. Thus, the accounting for
the Proposed Class B Plan would be simplified and the timing of when
expenditures are to be made by the Distributor ordinarily would not be an issue.
Currently, because the Existing Class B Plan is a reimbursement plan, the
Distributor retains an independent expert to perform a study of its methodology
for determining and substantiating which of its expenses should properly be
allocated to the Portfolios' Class B shares for reimbursement, the cost of which
is borne by the Fund and other funds for which Prudential Securities serves as
distributor. These considerations, combined with the fact that the cumulative
expenses incurred by Prudential Securities for Distribution Activities have
exceeded the amounts reimbursed by the Portfolios under the Existing Class B
Plan, suggest that the costs and efforts associated with a reimbursement plan
are unwarranted.

In considering whether to approve the Proposed Class B Plan, the Trustees
reviewed, among other things, the nature and scope of the services to be
provided by Prudential Securities, the purchase options available to investors
under the Alternative Purchase Plan, the amount of expenditures under the
Existing Class B Plan, the relationship of such expenditures to the overall cost

structure of each Portfolio and comparative data with respect to distribution
arrangements adopted by other investment companies. Based upon such review, the
Trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, determined that there
is a reasonable likelihood that the Proposed Class B Plan will benefit the Fund
and its Class B shareholders.

If approved by Class B shareholders, the Proposed Class B Plan will continue
in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved at least
annually by vote of a majority the Trustees, including a majority of the Rule
12b-1 Trustees.

REQUIRED VOTE

The Proposed Class B Plan requires the approval of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding Class B shares of each Portfolio as defined in the Investment
Company Act and as described under Proposal No. 3. If the Proposed Class B Plan
is not approved, the Existing Class B Plan will continue in its present form.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 4.

APPROVAL OF ELIMINATION OF THE PORTFOLIOS' FUNDAMENTAL
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS REGARDING RESTRICTED
AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES
(PROPOSAL NO. 5)

On May 4, 1993, at the request of the Fund's Manager and Subadviser, the
Trustees considered and recommend for shareholder approval revision of each
Portfolio's fundamental investment restrictions regarding illiquid and
restricted securities. The current restrictions are overly confining in light of
the development of an active market in those securities that, although subject
to restrictions on resale, are transferable under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Trustees recommend elimination
of each Portfolio's Investment Restrictions Nos. 12 and 16, which limit the
purchase of any security that is restricted as to disposition under federal
securities laws or contractually and repurchase agreements with maturities of
more than seven days.

Investment Restriction No. 12, which is proposed to be eliminated, currently
provides that each Portfolio may not:
Purchase any security restricted as to disposition under federal
securities laws if such purchase would result in more than 5% of the value
of the total assets of the Portfolio being invested in such securities.

37
<PAGE>
Investment Restriction No. 16, which is proposed to be eliminated, currently
provides that each Portfolio may not:
Purchase securities for which there are legal or contractual
restrictions on resale or invest in securities for which there is no readily
available market, including repurchase agreements having maturities of more
than seven days, if more than 10% of the Portfolio's total assets would be
invested in such securities.

The Trustees recommend replacement of such fundamental investment
restrictions with a non-fundamental investment policy that could be modified by
the vote of the Trustees in response to regulatory or market developments
without further approval by shareholders. The change would expand each
Portfolio's ability to invest in securities which have restrictions on resale
but have a readily available institutional market, such as securities eligible
for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The proposed
non-fundamental policy would provide as follows:

Each Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid
securities including repurchase agreements which have a maturity of
longer than seven days, securities with legal or contractual
restrictions on resale (restricted securities) and securities that are
not readily marketable. Restricted securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), that have a readily available market are not considered
illiquid for purposes of this limitation. The investment adviser will
monitor the liquidity of such restricted securities under the
supervision of the Trustees. Repurchase agreements subject to demand are
deemed to have a maturity equal to the applicable notice period.

An open-end investment company may not hold a significant amount of
restricted securities or illiquid securities because such securities may present
problems of accurate valuation and because it is possible that the investment
company would have difficulty satisfying redemptions within seven days. The
proposed investment policy is not expected by the Manager or the Trustees to
affect either Portfolio's liquidity because it excludes from illiquid securities
only those Rule 144A securities for which there is a readily available market.

Historically, illiquid securities have been defined to include securities
subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale, securities for which
there is no readily available market and repurchase agreements having a maturity
of longer than seven days. In recent years, however, the securities markets have
evolved significantly, with the result that new types of instruments have
developed which make the Portfolios' present restrictions on illiquid
investments overly broad and unnecessarily restrictive in the view of the Fund's
Manager. In particular,

38
<PAGE>
the SEC adopted Rule 144A in April 1990, which allows for a broader
institutional trading market for securities otherwise subject to restrictions on
resale to the general public. SEC interpretations give directors of registered
investment companies the discretion to designate restricted securities as liquid
if the presence of a readily available market can be demonstrated and if a
current market value can be ascertained. In adopting Rule 144A, the SEC
recognized the increased size and liquidity of the institutional markets for
unregistered securities and the importance of institutional investors in the
capital formation process. In 1992, the SEC staff issued amended guidelines to
the effect that up to 15% (as opposed to 10%) of an open-end fund's net assets
may be invested in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements with a
maturity of longer than seven days. The guidelines were amended in connection
with the SEC's efforts to remove unnecessary barriers to capital formation and
to facilitate access to the capital markets by small businesses.

The staff of the SEC has also taken the position that purchased over-the-
counter options and the assets used as "cover" for written over-the-counter
options are illiquid securities unless a fund and the counterparty have provided
for the fund at its option to unwind the over-the-counter option. The exercise
of such an option ordinarily would involve the payment by a fund of an amount
designed to reflect the counterparty's economic loss from an early termination,
but does allow the fund to treat the assets used as "cover" as "liquid."

The proposed change would expand each Portfolio's ability to invest in
securities which are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which generally
have a readily available institutional market. The markets for certain equity
securities, corporate bonds and notes are almost exclusively institutional.
These institutional investors depend on an efficient institutional market in
which the unregistered security can be readily resold. In the opinion of the
Fund's Manager, the fact that there are restrictions on resale to the general
public is therefore not necessarily indicative of the liquidity of such
investments. If designated as liquid (under the supervision of the Trustees),
these Rule 144A securities would be exempt from the 10% limitation.

In order to take advantage of the market for Rule 144A securities, including
Rule 144A securities, and the increasingly liquid institutional trading markets,
the Manager recommends that the Portfolios eliminate their fundamental policies
regarding illiquid and restricted securities so that Rule 144A securities that
are nonetheless liquid may be purchased without regard to the current
limitations. By making the Portfolios' policies on illiquid securities
non-fundamental, the Portfolios will be able to respond more quickly to
regulatory and market developments because a shareholder vote will not be
required to define what types of securities should be deemed illiquid or to
change the applicable permissible percentage limitation. If this proposal is
approved by shareholders,

39
<PAGE>
the Manager and the Subadviser, under the supervision of the Trustees, will
monitor the liquidity of specific types of securities and, based on their
recommendations, the Trustees will from time to time determine whether such
securities should be deemed to be liquid in light of legal, regulatory and
market developments.

In reaching liquidity decisions, the Manager and the Subadviser will
consider, INTER ALIA, the following factors:

1. the frequency of trades and quotes for the security;

2. the number of dealers wishing to purchase or sell the security and
the number of other potential purchasers;

3. dealer undertakings to make a market in the security; and

4. the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace trades
(E.G., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting
offers and the mechanics of the transfer).

The Trustees believe that adoption of Proposal No. 5 is in the best
interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders.

REQUIRED VOTE

Adoption of Proposal No. 5 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio. Under the
Investment Company Act, a majority of a Portfolio's outstanding voting
securities is defined as the lesser of (i) 67% of the Portfolio's outstanding
voting shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the Portfolio's
outstanding voting shares are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii)
more than 50% of the Portfolio's outstanding voting shares. If the proposed
changes in investment policies and restrictions are not approved, the current
limitations would remain fundamental policies which could not be changed without
the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Portfolio.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 5.

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT OF EACH PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT
RESTRICTION LIMITING THE PORTFOLIO'S ABILITY TO INVEST IN A
SECURITY IF THE PORTFOLIO WOULD HOLD MORE THAN TEN
PERCENT OF ANY CLASS OF SECURITIES OF AN ISSUER
(PROPOSAL NO. 6)

On May 4, 1993, at the request of the Fund's Manager and Subadviser, the
Trustees considered and recommend for shareholder approval modification of
Investment Restriction No. 5 to delete the restriction that prohibits each
Portfolio from purchasing a security if the Portfolio would hold more than ten
percent of any class of securities of an issuer.

Each Portfolio currently may not purchase a security if the Portfolio would
then hold more than 10% of any class of securities of an issuer. Under this
restriction, all common stock issues of an issuer, all preferred stock issues,
and all debt issues are each taken as a separate single class. The Fund's
Subadviser believes the restriction is confining and has requested its deletion.
This restriction is not required under federal securities laws. If the proposal
is approved, and a state securities commission requires inclusion of this
limitation, each Portfolio would continue to comply with the restriction as a
non-fundamental operating policy so long as the Portfolio sells its shares in
that state.

Investment Restriction No. 5 provides that each Portfolio may not:

Purchase any security if as a result the Portfolio would then hold more
than 10% of any class of securities of an issuer (taking all common
stock issues of an issuer as a single class, all preferred stock issues
as a single class and all debt issues as a single class) or more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer.

The Trustees are proposing that Investment Restriction No. 5 be modified
to read as follows:

Each Portfolio may not:

Purchase any security if as a result the Portfolio would then hold more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer.

Currently, each Portfolio may not hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of an issuer pursuant to Section 5(b)(1) of the Investment
Company Act and state securities laws. This restriction would remain in effect.

The Trustees believe that adoption of Proposal No. 6 is in the best
interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders.

41
<PAGE>
REQUIRED VOTE

Adoption of Proposal No. 6 requires the approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio, as defined by the Investment
Company Act and described under Proposal No. 5. If the proposed change in
investment policy is not approved by the shareholders of a Portfolio, the
current limitations would remain a fundamental policy which could not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Portfolio.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 6.

APPROVAL OF ELIMINATION OF EACH PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT
RESTRICTION LIMITING INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OF ANY
ISSUER IN WHICH THE OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES OF THE FUND
OR THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF ITS INVESTMENT ADVISER
OWN MORE THAN A SPECIFIED INTEREST
(PROPOSAL NO. 7)

On May 4, 1993, at the request of the Fund's Manager, the Trustees
considered and recommend for shareholder approval elimination of each
Portfolio's Investment Restriction No. 7, which provides that each Portfolio may
not:

Invest in securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge of the Fund, any
officer or Trustee of the Fund or the Fund's Manager or Subadviser owns more
than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding securities of such issuer, and such
officers and Trustees who own more than 1/2 of 1% own in the aggregate more
than 5% of the outstanding securities of such issuer.

The Manager has advised the Trustees that the restriction upon the
Portfolios' investing in companies in which officers and Trustees of the Fund or
officers and directors of the Manager own more than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding
securities of such company was initially adopted to comply with a restriction
imposed in connection with the sale of the Portfolios' shares in Ohio. If the
proposal is approved, each Portfolio would continue to comply with the
restriction as a non-fundamental operating policy so long as the Portfolio sells
its shares in Ohio. However, if Ohio were to eliminate the requirement or the
Portfolios stopped offering their shares for sale in Ohio, the Trustees could
eliminate the operating policy without the necessity of shareholder approval.
The Portfolios do not currently intend to stop offering their shares in Ohio,
nor

42
<PAGE>
is the Fund or the Fund's Manager aware of any proposal to change the Ohio law.
The Trustees believe that adoption of Proposal No. 7 is in the best interests of
each Portfolio and its shareholders.

REQUIRED VOTE

Amendment of the Portfolios' investment restrictions to delete Investment
Restriction No. 7 requires the approval of a majority of each Portfolio's
outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act and as
described under Proposal No. 5. If the proposed change in investment policy is
not approved by the shareholders of a Portfolio, the current limitations would
remain a fundamental policy which could not be changed without the approval of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Portfolio.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 7.

APPROVAL OF A MODIFICATION OF THE PORTFOLIOS'
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS TO PERMIT EACH PORTFOLIO
TO ENTER INTO INTEREST RATE SWAP TRANSACTIONS
(PROPOSAL NO. 8)

On February 8, 1994, at the request of the Fund's Subadviser, the Trustees
considered and recommend for shareholder approval modification of the
Portfolios' investment restrictions to permit each Portfolio to enter into
interest rate swap transactions with respect to up to 5% of its total assets.
Interest rate swaps would be used to hedge the value of existing portfolio
assets or assets a Portfolio intends to acquire. Interest rate swaps involve the
exchange by a Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to
pay or receive interest (E.G., an exchange of floating rate payments for
fixed-rate payments). Each Portfolio would enter into these transactions
primarily to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion
of its portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities
it anticipates purchasing at a later date. Each Portfolio would use interest
rate swaps for hedging purposes and not as a speculative investment.

The use of interest rate swaps is a highly speculative activity which
involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with
ordinary portfolio securities transactions. If the Manager were incorrect in its
forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the
investment performance of the Fund would diminish compared to what it would have
been if this investment technique were never used. Interest rate swaps do not
involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal.
Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to
the net amount of interest payments that a Portfolio is contractually obligated
to make. If the other party to an interest rate swap defaults, a Portfolio's
risk of loss consists of

43
<PAGE>
the net amount of interest payments that the Portfolio is contractually entitled
to receive. Since interest rate swaps are individually negotiated, each
Portfolio expects to achieve an acceptable degree of correlation between its
rights to receive interest on its portfolio securities and its rights and
obligations to receive and pay interest pursuant to interest rate swaps.

The use of interest rate swaps would require modification of each
Portfolio's Investment Restriction No. 3 to clarify that collateral arrangements
with respect to interest rate swap transactions are not deemed to be a senior
security or a borrowing.

Investment Restriction No. 3 is proposed to be amended as follows (added
language underlined):

Each Portfolio may not:

3. Issue senior securities, borrow money or pledge its assets, except that
the Portfolio may borrow up to 20% of the value of its total assets (calculated
when the loan is made) for temporary, extraordinary or emergency purposes or for
the clearance of transactions. The Portfolio may pledge up to 20% of the value
of its total assets to secure such borrowings. For purposes of this restriction,
the preference as to shares of a Portfolio in liquidation and as to dividends
over all other Portfolios of the Fund with respect to assets specifically
allocated to that Portfolio, the purchase or sale of securities on a when-issued
or delayed delivery basis, the purchase of forward foreign currency exchange
contracts and collateral arrangements relating thereto, the purchase and sale of
options, financial futures contracts, options on such contracts and collateral
arrangements with respect thereto and with respect to interest rate swap
transactions and obligations of the Fund to Trustees pursuant to deferred
compensation arrangements are not deemed to be the issuance of a senior security
or a pledge of assets.

The Trustees believe that adoption of Proposal No. 8 is in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

REQUIRED VOTE

Adoption of Proposal No. 8 requires the approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio, as defined by the Investment
Company Act and described under Proposal No. 5. If the proposed change in
investment policy is not approved by the shareholders of a Portfolio, the
current limitations would remain a fundamental policy which could not be changed
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Portfolio.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 8.

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
(PROPOSAL NO. 9)

The Trustees of the Fund, including Trustees who are not interested persons
of the Fund, have selected Deloitte & Touche as independent accountants for the
Fund for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1994. The ratification of the selection
of independent public accountants is to be voted upon at the Meeting and it is
intended that the persons named in the accompanying Proxy will vote for Deloitte
& Touche. No representative of Deloitte & Touche is expected to be present at
the Meeting of Shareholders.

The policy of the Trustees regarding engaging independent accountants'
services is that management may engage the Fund's principal independent public
accountants to perform any service(s) normally provided by independent
accounting firms, provided that such service(s) meet(s) any and all of the
independent requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and the SEC. In accordance with this policy, the Audit Committee
reviews and approves all services provided by the independent public accountants
prior to their being rendered. The Trustees of the Fund receive a report from
their Audit Committee relating to all services after they have been performed by
the Fund's independent accountants.

REQUIRED VOTE

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by
proxy, at the Meeting is required for ratification.

THE TRUSTEES RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL NO. 9.

OTHER MATTERS

No business other than as set forth herein is expected to come before the
Meeting, but should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise,
including any question as to an adjournment of the Meeting, the persons named in
the enclosed Proxy will vote thereon according to their best judgment in the
interests of the Fund.

45
<PAGE>
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

The Fund is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and the
Trustees currently do not intend to hold such meetings unless shareholder action
is required in accordance with the Investment Company Act or the Fund's By-laws.
A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at any meeting of shareholders
of the Fund hereinafter called must be received by the Fund a reasonable time
before the Trustees' solicitation relating thereto is made in order to be
included in the Fund's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that
meeting and presented at the meeting. The mere submission of a proposal by a
shareholder does not guarantee that such proposal will be included in the proxy
statement because certain rules under the federal securities laws must be
complied with before inclusion of the proposal is required.

S. JANE ROSE
SECRETARY

Dated: April 18, 1994

SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT EXPECT TO BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING AND WHO WISH TO
HAVE THEIR SHARES VOTED ARE REQUESTED TO DATE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY AND
RETURN IT IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.

PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUND MANAGEMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
DECEMBER 31, 1993

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. ("PMF") and subsidiaries (the
"Company"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance
Company of America (the "Prudential"), were created to operate as the manager,
distributor and/or transfer agent for investment companies.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statement includes the accounts of PMF and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prudential Mutual Fund Services, Inc. ("PMFS") and
Prudential Mutual Fund Distributors, Inc. ("PMFD"). All intercompany profits,
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is a member of a group of affiliated companies which join in
filing a consolidated Federal income tax return. Pursuant to a tax allocation
agreement, tax expense is determined for individual profitable companies on a
separate return basis. Profit members pay this amount to an affiliated company
which in turn apportions the payment among the loss members in proportion to
their losses. In January 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). The
adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position.

2. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 1993, the Company had invested $35,411,571 in several money
market funds which PMF manages.

3. FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS
Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements consist of the following:

<PAGE>
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, the Company participates in a variety of
financial and administrative transactions with affiliates.

The loan to affiliate bears interest at 3.45 percent at December 31, 1993
and is due on demand.

The caption "Due to affiliates" includes $18,241,795 at December 31, 1993
for reimbursement of employee compensation and benefits, and other
administrative and operating expenses. This amount is noninterest-bearing and
payable on demand.

The Company has entered into subadvisory agreements with The Prudential
Investment Corporation ("PIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential. Under
these agreements, PIC furnishes investment advisory services to substantially
all the funds for which the Company acts as Manager. At December 31, 1993 there
were unpaid fees due to PIC of $23,926,277, included in the caption "Due to
affiliates."

Distribution expenses include commissions and account servicing fees paid
to, or on account of, financial advisors of Prudential Securities Incorporated
("Prudential Securities") and Pruco Securities Corporation ("PruSec"),
affiliated broker-dealers and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential,
advertising expenses, the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to potential
investors, and indirect and overhead costs of Prudential Securities and PruSec,
including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion expenses. At
December 31, 1993 there were unpaid distribution expenses of approximately
$6,626,000, included in the caption "Due to affiliates."

5. CAPITAL
PMFD is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which
requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of
aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to
1. At December 31, 1993, PMFD had net capital of $2,308,981, which was
$1,859,405 in excess of its required net capital of $449,576. PMFD had a ratio
of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 2.9 to 1.

A-3
<PAGE>
6. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office space under operating leases expiring in 2003. The
leases are subject to escalation based upon certain costs incurred by the
lessor. Future minimum rentals, as of December 31, 1993, under the leases, are
as follows:

7. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company has two defined benefit pension plans (the "Plans") sponsored by
the Prudential and Prudential Securities. The Plans cover substantially all of
the Company's employees. The funding policy is to contribute annually the amount
necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service funding standards. In
addition, the Company has two defined benefit plans for key executives, the
Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) for which estimated pension costs are
currently accrued but not funded.

The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
eligible retired employees. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("SFAS 106"). SFAS 106 changed the
practice of accounting for postretirement benefits on a cash basis to an accrual
basis, whereby employers record the projected future cost of providing such
postretirement benefits as employees render services instead of when benefits
are paid. This new accounting method has no effect on the Company's cash outlays
for these retirement benefits. The adoption of SFAS 106 did not materially
impact the Company's financial position.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits," ("SFAS 112") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1993. Although several benefits are fully insured which result in
no SFAS 112 obligation, the Company currently has an obligation and resulting

A-4
<PAGE>
7. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)
expense under SFAS 112 for medical benefits provided under long-term disability.
The Company will adopt SFAS 112 on January 1, 1994. Management believes that
implementation will have no material effect on the Company's financial position.

8. CONTINGENCY
On October 12, 1993, a purported class action lawsuit was instituted against
PMF, et al and certain current and former directors of a fund managed by PMF.
The plaintiffs seek damages in an unspecified amount for excessive management
and distribution fees they allege were incurred by them. Although the outcome of
this litigation cannot be predicted at this time, the defendants believe they
have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint and intend to
defend this action vigorously. In any case, management does not believe that the
outcome of this action is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statement is free

supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated statement of
financial condition. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated statement of financial condition presents
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prudential Mutual
Fund Management, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 in conformity with

PRUDENTIAL FLEXIFUND
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
(CLASS A SHARES)
INTRODUCTION

The Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) set forth below which is
designed to conform to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the Investment Company Act) and Article III, Section 26 of
the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (NASD) has been adopted by Prudential FlexiFund (the Fund) and by
Prudential Mutual Fund Distributors, Inc., the Fund's distributor (the
Distributor).

The Fund has entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which the
Fund will employ the Distributor to distribute Class A shares issued by the Fund
(Class A shares). Under the Plan, the Fund intends to pay to the Distributor, as
compensation for its services, a distribution and service fee with respect to
Class A shares.

A majority of the Trustees of the Fund, including a majority of Trustees who
are not "interested persons" of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company
Act) and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of
this Plan or any agreements related to it (the Rule 12b-1 Trustees), have
determined by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on this Plan that there is a reasonable likelihood that adoption of this Plan
will benefit the Fund and its shareholders. Expenditures under this Plan by the
Fund for Distribution Activities (defined below) are primarily intended to
result in the sale of Class A shares of the Fund within the meaning of paragraph
(a)(2) of Rule 12b-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act.

The purpose of the Plan is to create incentives to the Distributor and/or
other qualified broker-dealers and their account executives to provide
distribution assistance to their customers who are investors in the Fund, to
defray the costs and expenses associated with the preparation, printing and
distribution of prospectuses and sales literature and other promotional and
distribution activities and to provide for the servicing and maintenance of
shareholder accounts.

C-1
<PAGE>
THE PLAN

The material aspects of the Plan are as follows:

1. DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES

The Fund shall engage the Distributor to distribute Class A shares of
the Fund and to service shareholder accounts using all of the facilities of
the distribution networks of Prudential Securities Incorporated (Prudential
Securities) and Pruco Securities Corporation (Prusec), including sales
personnel and branch office and central support systems, and also using such
other qualified broker-dealers and financial institutions as the Distributor
may select. Services provided and activities undertaken to distribute Class
A shares of the Fund are referred to herein as "Distribution Activities."

2. PAYMENT OF SERVICE FEE

The Fund shall pay to the Distributor as compensation for providing
personal service and/or maintaining shareholder accounts a service fee of
.25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares
(service fee). The Fund shall calculate and accrue daily amounts payable by
the Class A shares of the Fund hereunder and shall pay such amounts monthly
or at such other intervals as the Trustees may determine.

3. PAYMENT FOR DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES

The Fund shall pay to the Distributor as compensation for its services a
distribution fee, together with the service fee (described in Section 2
hereof), of .30 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Class
A shares of the Fund for the performance of Distribution Activities. The
Fund shall calculate and accrue daily amounts payable by the Class A shares
of the Fund hereunder and shall pay such amounts monthly or at such other
intervals as the Trustees may determine. Amounts payable under the Plan
shall be subject to the limitations of Article III, Section 26 of the NASD
Rules of Fair Practice.

Amounts paid to the Distributor by the Class A shares of the Fund will
not be used to pay the distribution expenses incurred with respect to any
other class of shares of the Fund except that distribution expenses
attributable to the Fund as a whole will be allocated to the Class A shares
according to the ratio of the sales of Class A shares to the total sales of
the Fund's shares over the Fund's fiscal year or such other allocation
method approved by the Trustees. The allocation of distribution expenses
among classes will be subject to the review of the Trustees.

C-2
<PAGE>
The Distributor shall spend such amounts as it deems appropriate on
Distribution Activities which include, among others:

(a) amounts paid to Prudential Securities for performing services
under a selected dealer agreement between Prudential Securities and the
Distributor for sale of Class A shares of the Fund, including sales
commissions and trailer commissions paid to, or on account of, account
executives and indirect and overhead costs associated with Distribution
Activities, including central office and branch offices;

(b) amounts paid to Prusec for performing services under a selected
dealer agreement between Prusec and the Distributor for sale of Class A
shares of the Fund, including sales commissions and trailer commissions
paid to, or on account of, agents and indirect and overhead costs
associated with Distribution Activities;

(c) advertising for the Fund in various forms through any available
medium, including the cost of printing and mailing Fund prospectuses,
statements of additional information and periodic financial reports and
sales literature to persons other than current shareholders of the Fund;
and

(d) sales commissions (including trailer commissions) paid to, or on
account of, broker-dealers and financial institutions (other than
Prudential Securities and Prusec) which have entered into selected
dealer agreements with the Distributor with respect to Class A shares of
the Fund.

4. QUARTERLY REPORTS; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

An appropriate officer of the Fund will provide to the Trustees of the
Fund for review, at least quarterly, a written report specifying in
reasonable detail the amounts expended for Distribution Activities
(including payment of the service fee) and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1.
The Distributor will provide to the Trustees of the Fund such additional
information as the Trustees shall from time to time reasonably request,
including information about Distribution Activities undertaken or to be
undertaken by the Distributor.

The Distributor will inform the Trustees of the Fund of the commissions
and account servicing fees to be paid by the Distributor to account
executives of the Distributor and to broker-dealers and financial
institutions which have selected dealer agreements with the Distributor.

C-3
<PAGE>
5. EFFECTIVENESS; CONTINUATION

The Plan shall not take effect until it has been approved by a vote of a

EXHIBIT D

PRUDENTIAL FLEXIFUND
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
(CLASS B SHARES)
INTRODUCTION

The Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) set forth below which is
designed to conform to the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the Investment Company Act) and Article III, Section 26 of
the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (NASD) has been adopted by Prudential FlexiFund (the Fund) and by
Prudential Securities Incorporated (Prudential Securities), the Fund's
distributor (the Distributor).

The Fund has entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which the
Fund will employ the Distributor to distribute Class B shares issued by the Fund
(Class B shares). Under the Plan, the Fund wishes to pay to the Distributor, as
compensation for its services, a distribution and service fee with respect to
Class B shares.

A majority of the Trustees of the Fund including a majority who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund (as defined in the Investment Company Act) and
who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Plan
or any agreements related to it (the Rule 12b-1 Trustees), have determined by
votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on this Plan
that there is a reasonable likelihood that adoption of this Plan will benefit
the Fund and its shareholders. Expenditures under this Plan by the Fund for
Distribution Activities (defined below) are primarily intended to result in the
sale of Class B shares of the Fund within the meaning of paragraph (a)(2) of
Rule 12b-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act.

D-1
<PAGE>
THE PLAN

The material aspects of the Plan are as follows:

1. DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES
The Fund shall engage the Distributor to distribute Class B shares of
the Fund and to service shareholder accounts using all of the facilities of
the Prudential Securities distribution network including sales personnel and
branch office and central support systems, and also using such other
qualified broker-dealers and financial institutions as the Distributor may
select, including Pruco Securities Corporation (Prusec). Services provided
and activities undertaken to distribute Class B shares of the Fund are
referred to herein as "Distribution Activities."

2. PAYMENT OF SERVICE FEE
The Fund shall pay to the Distributor as compensation for providing
personal service and/or maintaining shareholder accounts a service fee of
.25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares
(service fee). The Fund shall calculate and accrue daily amounts payable by
the Class B shares of the Fund hereunder and shall pay such amounts monthly
or at such other intervals as the Trustees may determine.

3. PAYMENT FOR DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES
The Fund shall pay to the Distributor as compensation for its services a
distribution fee of .75 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of
the Class B shares of the Fund for the performance of Distribution
Activities. The Fund shall calculate and accrue daily amounts payable by the
Class B shares of the Fund hereunder and shall pay such amounts monthly or
at such other intervals as the Trustees may determine. Amounts payable under
the Plan shall be subject to the limitations of Article III, Section 26 of
the NASD Rules of Fair Practice.

Amounts paid to the Distributor by the Class B shares of the Fund will
not be used to pay the distribution expenses incurred with respect to any
other class of shares of the Fund except that distribution expenses
attributable to the Fund as a whole will be allocated to the Class B shares
according to the ratio of the sale of Class B shares to the total sales of
the Fund's shares over the Fund's fiscal year or such other allocation
method approved by the Trustees. The allocation of distribution expenses
among classes will be subject to the review of the Trustees.

D-2
<PAGE>
The Distributor shall spend such amounts as it deems appropriate on
Distribution Activities which include, among others:

(a) sales commissions (including trailer commissions) paid to, or on
account of, account executives of the Distributor;

(b) indirect and overhead costs of the Distributor associated with
performance of Distribution Activities including central office and
branch expenses;

(c) amounts paid to Prusec for performing services under a selected
dealer agreement between Prusec and the Distributor for sale of Class B
shares of the Fund, including sales commissions and trailer commissions
paid to, or on account of, agents and indirect and overhead costs
associated with Distribution Activities;

(d) advertising for the Fund in various forms through any available
medium, including the cost of printing and mailing Fund prospectuses,
statements of additional information and periodic financial reports and
sales literature to persons other than current shareholders of the Fund;
and

(e) sales commissions (including trailer commissions) paid to, or on
account of, broker-dealers and other financial institutions (other than
Prusec) which have entered into selected dealer agreements with the
Distributor with respect to Class B shares of the Fund.

4. QUARTERLY REPORTS; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
An appropriate officer of the Fund will provide to the Trustees of the
Fund for review, at least quarterly, a written report specifying in
reasonable detail the amounts expended for Distribution Activities
(including payment of the service fee) and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1.
The Distributor will provide to the Trustees of the Fund such additional
information as they shall from time to time reasonably request, including
information about Distribution Activities undertaken or to be undertaken by
the Distributor.

The Distributor will inform the Trustees of the Fund of the commissions
and account servicing fees to be paid by the Distributor to account
executives of the Distributor and to broker-dealers and other financial
institutions which have selected dealer agreements with the Distributor.

5. EFFECTIVENESS; CONTINUATION
The Plan shall not take effect until it has been approved by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment
Company Act) of the Class B shares of the Fund.

Trustees by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on the continuation of the Plan.

6. TERMINATION
This Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of the
Rule 12b-1 Trustees, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Class B shares
of the Fund.

7. AMENDMENTS
The Plan may not be amended to change the combined service and
distribution expenses to be paid as provided for in Sections 2 and 3 hereof
so as to increase materially the amounts payable under this Plan unless such
amendment shall be approved by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Class B
shares of the Fund. All material amendments of the Plan shall be approved by
a majority of the Trustees of the Fund and a majority of the Rule 12b-1
Trustees by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on the Plan.

8. RULE 12B-1 TRUSTEES
While the Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of the Rule
12b-1 Trustees shall be committed to the discretion of the Rule 12b-1
Trustees.

9. RECORDS

and all reports made pursuant to Section 4 hereof, for a period of not less
than six years from the date of effectiveness of the Plan, such agreements
or reports, and for at least the first two years in an easily accessible
place.
