Letter to Shareholders

                                                              June 28, 1994

Dear Shareholder:

Over the 12 months ended May 31, 1994, global small stock markets posted
moderate returns, mainly on the strength of gains made in non-U.S. markets.
Of course, U.S. stocks were hurt by rising short-term interest rates, but
advances in Japan and Europe more than offset these declines.  The U.S.
dollar's weakness against major currencies also helped improve returns for U.S.
based investors.  We are pleased to report that the Prudential Global Genesis
Fund produced above-average returns in this environment.

The Fund in Brief

The Prudential Global Genesis Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing
in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of common stocks of smaller
foreign and U.S. companies.  Please note that there are special risks
associated with foreign investments, such as currency fluctuations, economic,
political and social developments.  These risks are described in detail in the
Fund's prospectus

Has the U.S. Bull Market Stalled?

This year's U.S. stock market performance may have raised fears that the
seven-year bull market might be over, but our view has not yet turned negative.
While performance can never be guaranteed, we believe the downturn is a normal
correction and are heartened by the improved tone and direction of markets
outside the U.S.  We would also like to point out that small company stocks
only emerged from their slumber three years ago.  Since then, the S&P 500
gained about 28%, while the Russell 2000 rose 47%.  We expect small stocks to
continue to outperform in the U.S. as the economy grows.

Restructuring Leads to Buying Opportunities

With the market in what we believe is a temporary state of turmoil, our
strategy did not change much in the past year.  In fact, as market prices fell,
we found good buying opportunities, especially in the U.S.  Our broad strategy
is to identify major structural changes in economies around the world and buy
stocks that should profit from them.

                                    -3-

Here are several themes that developed from this strategy:

- -- Secular Change in Japan.  We believe Japan is in the midst of a secular
change that will reshape society and the economy.  In addition, rising
production costs are one of the long-term challenges facing Japan.  Despite the
country's slightly gloomy short-term outlook, we are bullish on its long-term
growth.  We shifted our focus in Japan to increase export-oriented technology
companies, like cellular telephone manufacturers and computer component makers.
This new focus anticipates continued worldwide use of high technology.



Tracking Japanese Stocks

Tracking big and small stocks is easier in Japan.  Japan's Tokyo Stock Exchange
is divided into two sections: the TOPIX (Tokyo Price Index) consists of about
1,000 of the largest issues (by market capitalization), and those that trade
over-the-counter, The OTC market, is composed of approximately 400 smaller
stocks.  TOPIX is dominated by financial, energy and transportation stocks,
while the OTC contains a lot of consumer cyclical issues.

This year, TOPIX issues were affected more than smaller Japanese stocks by the
rising yen, the local recession and a shakeout in the banking industry.  From
December 31, 1993 to May 31, 1994, the TOPIX returned 16.1% while the OTC
market gained 23.3%.

- -- Economic Growth in the Pacific Rim.  Elsewhere in the Pacific Basin, we
continue to focus on Southeast Asia's newly industrializing nations for their
unsurpassed economic growth.  Southeast Asian markets posted large returns last
year.  For example, the Hong Kong stock market gained an average 117% (in
dollar terms) for 1993.  This winter, however, the Fund was hurt by its
overweighted position in the Pacific Rim, as investors sold stocks en masse
 when prices were up.

- -- Restructuring in Europe.  We also increased our exposure to Europe.  After a
protracted recession, we noticed that industrial companies started to report
better earnings a positive sign since many of them produce the raw materials
that are used to make consumer goods.  We also participated in the region's
economic recovery by investing in global companies.  Europe is a major
destination for natural resource exporters.  One of the new "European" stocks
in our Fund is New Zealand's Fletcher Challenge, a forest products company.

- -- Multimedia.  The U.S. is the world's technology leader, and technology
companies comprised the bulk of our U.S. holdings over the Fund's fiscal year.
During the market's downturn this winter, technology stocks were especially
hurt.  We took this opportunity to sell stocks that were overpriced. 

Looking Ahead

Our outlook is generally optimistic.  The worst of the global market's
correction should be over soon, and we will aggressively look for companies
that we think are inexpensive when the dust settles.  The bright spots this
year should be in Japan, Europe and Australia.  In addition, we believe the
U.S. stock market will produce stable returns for the rest of the year.  We
will generally avoid investing in Hong Kong, although the rest of Southeast
Asia should be strong.  As far as sectors are concerned, we are focusing on
high technology, consumer durables and natural resources.

                                   -4-

 PRUDENTIAL GLOBAL GENESIS FUND
 Notes to Financial Statements
   Prudential-Bache Global Genesis Fund, Inc., doing business as Prudential
Global Genesis Fund (the ``Fund''), is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's
investment objective is long-term growth of capital which it seeks to achieve by
investing primarily in equity securities of foreign and domestic companies with
market capitalizations of less than U.S.$750 million.

Note 1. Accounting            The following is a summary
Policies                      of significant accounting 
                              policies followed by the Fund in the preparation
of its financial statements.
Security Valuation: Securities traded on an exchange (whether domestic or
foreign) are valued at the last reported sales price on the primary exchange on
which they are traded. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market
(including securities listed on exchanges for which a last sales price is not
available) are valued at the average of the last reported bid and asked prices.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including
restricted securities, will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith
according to a pricing procedure developed by the Investment Adviser under
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund's Board
of Directors.
   Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current
market quotations. Short-term securities which mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
   In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with U.S. financial
institutions, it is the Fund's policy that its custodian or designated
subcustodians, as the case may be under tri-party repurchase agreements, take
possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds
the principal amount of the repurchase transaction including accrued interest.
If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy
proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on
the following basis:
   (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities--at
the daily closing rates of exchange.
   (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
   Although the net assets of the Fund are presented using the foreign exchange
rates and market values at the close of the fiscal year, the Fund does not
isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes
in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the
market prices of securities held at the fiscal year end. Similarly, the Fund
does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the
fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio
securities sold during the fiscal year.
   Net realized gain on foreign currency transactions of $109,481 represents net
foreign exchange gains from disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or
losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions,
and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign taxes
recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually
received or paid. Net currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities (other than portfolio investments) at fiscal
year end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized
depreciation on foreign currencies.
   Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of,
among other factors, the possibility of political or economic instability and
the level of governmental supervision and the regulation of foreign securities
markets.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and
currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis.
   Net investment income (other than distribution fees) and unrealized and
realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of the Fund
based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning
of the day.
Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's policy to continue to meet the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
                                      -14-

<PAGE>
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required.
   Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for in
accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules
and rates.
Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment
income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least
annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments of wash sales, passive investment companies, and foreign currencies
transactions.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: Effective June 1, 1993, the Fund began
accounting and reporting for distributions to shareholders in accordance with
the A.I.C.P.A.'s Statement of Position 93-2: Determination, Disclosure, and
Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital
Distributions by Investment Companies. The effect caused by adopting this
statement was to decrease paid-in capital by $1,342,739, decrease accumulated
net investment loss by $1,567,616 and decrease accumulated net realized gains on
investments by $224,877 with respect to amounts reported through May 31, 1993.
For the year ended May 31, 1994, the Fund decreased paid-in capital in excess of
par by $941,077, increased accumulated net investment income by $1,477,901, and
decreased accumulated net realized loss on investments by $536,821. Net realized
gains and net assets were not affected by this change.
                              
Note 2. Agreements            The Fund has a management
                              agreement with Prudential Mutual Fund Management,
Inc. (``PMF''). Pursuant to this agreement, PMF has responsibility for all
investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser's performance of such
services. PMF has entered into a subadvisory agreement with The Prudential
Investment Corporation (``PIC''); PIC furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Fund. PMF pays for the services of PIC,
the compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and
bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
   The management fee paid PMF is computed daily and payable monthly, at an
annual rate of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period
ended October 31, 1993, PMF voluntarily waived 100% of its management fee.
Effective November 1, 1993, PMF reduced the management fee waiver to 50%. For
the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, management fees waived amounted to $711,053
($0.11 per share and .60% of average net assets).
   The Fund has distribution agreements with Prudential Mutual Fund
Distributors, Inc. (``PMFD''), which acts as the distributor of the Class A
shares of the Fund, and PSI, which acts as distributor of the Class B shares of
the Fund (collectively the ``Distributors''). To reimburse the Distributors for
their expenses incurred in distributing the Fund's Class A and Class B shares,
the Fund, pursuant to plans of distribution, pays the Distributors a
reimbursement accrued daily and payable monthly.
   Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund reimburses PMFD for its
distribution-related expenses with respect to Class A shares at an annual rate
of up to .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. Such
expenses under the Class A Plan were .23 of 1% of the average daily net assets
of the Class A shares for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994. Such Class A Plan
distribution expenses are currently being assessed at a rate of .25 of 1% of the
average daily net assets. PMFD pays various broker-dealers, including PSI and
Pruco Securities Corporation (``Prusec''), affiliated broker-dealers, for
account servicing fees and other expenses incurred by such broker-dealers.
   Pursuant to the Class B Plan, the Fund reimburses PSI for its
distribution-related expenses with respect to Class B shares at an annual rate
of up to 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class B shares.
   The Class B distribution expenses include commission credits for payments of
commissions and account servicing fees to financial advisers and an allocation
for overhead and other distribution-related expenses, interest and/or carrying
charges, the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to potential investors
and of advertising incurred in connection with the distribution of shares.
   The Distributors recover the distribution expenses and service fees incurred
through the receipt of reimbursement payments from the Fund under the plans and
the receipt of initial sales charges (Class A only) and contingent deferred
sales charges (Class B only) from shareholders.
   PMFD has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $678,000 in
front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1994. From these fees, PMFD paid such sales charges to
dealers (PSI and Prusec) which in turn paid commissions to salespersons.

   With respect to the Class B Plan, at any given time, the amount of expenses
incurred by PSI in distributing the Fund's shares and not recovered through the
imposition of contingent deferred sales charges in connection with certain
redemptions of shares may exceed the total payments made by the Fund pursuant to
the Class B Plan. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, PSI advised the Fund
that it received approximately $246,400 in contingent deferred sales charges
imposed upon certain redemptions by investors. PSI, as distributor, has also
advised the Fund that at May 31, 1994, the amount of distribution expenses
incurred by PSI and not yet reimbursed by the Fund or recovered through
contingent deferred sales charges approximated $4,212,000. This amount may be
recovered through future payments under the Class B Plan or contingent deferred
sales charges.
   In the event of termination or noncontinuation of the Class B Plan, the Fund
would not be contractually obligated to pay PSI, as distributor, for any
expenses not previously reimbursed or recovered through contingent deferred
sales charges.
   PMFD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMF; PSI, PMF and PIC are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Prudential Insurance Company of America.

earned approximately $3,100 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions
executed on behalf of the Fund.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Prudential Global Genesis Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Prudential Global Genesis Fund (the
``Fund'') at May 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
``financial statements'') are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31,
1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

   Past performance is not predictive of future performance and an investor's
shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
   These graphs are furnished to you in accordance with SEC regulations. They
compare a $10,000 investment in Prudential Global Genesis Fund (Class A and
Class B) with a similar investment in the Morgan Stanley Capital International
``World'' Index (World Index) by portraying the initial account values at the
commencement of operations of each class and subsequent account values at the
end of each fiscal year (May 31), as measured on a quarterly basis, beginning in
1990 for Class A shares and in 1988 for Class B shares. For purposes of the
graphs and, unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying tables, it has been
assumed that (a) the maximum sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000
investment in Class A shares; (b) the maximum applicable contingent deferred
sales charge was deducted from the value of the investment in Class B shares
assuming full redemption on May 31, 1994; (c) all recurring fees (including
management fees) were deducted; and (d) all dividends and distributions were
reinvested.
   The World Index is a weighted index comprised of approximately 1,500
companies listed on the stock exchanges of the U.S.A., Europe, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. The combined market capitalization of
these companies represents approximately 60% of the aggregate market value of
the stock exchanges in the countries comprising the World Index. The World Index
is an unmanaged index and includes the reinvestment of all dividends, but does
not reflect the payment of transaction costs and advisory fees associated with
an investment in the Fund. The securities which comprise the World Index may
differ substantially from the securities in the Fund's portfolio. The World
Index is not the only index which may be used to characterize performance of
global growth equity funds and other indexes may portray different comparative
performance.
