We are pleased to provide you with the Semi-Annual Report of The Prudential
Institutional Fund for the six months ended March 31, 1995. During this period,
the total net assets of the Fund's seven portfolios have grown steadily from
$493.1 million on September 30, 1994 to $601.8 million on March 31, 1995. Each
of the portfolios has a distinct investment objective designed to allow
shareholders the opportunity to select various options to match different goals
and risk tolerances.
Economy
   The first signs of an aging recovery were apparent in the fourth quarter of
1994, following a series of short-term interest rate increases by the Federal
Reserve which began earlier in the year. After the sixth rate increase in
November, the housing sector slowed, holiday sales fell below expectations and
the upward movement in leading economic indicators was finally broken.
   During the first quarter of 1995, the dollar lost value against major
currencies, manufacturing jobs declined, and the core Producer Price Index (PPI)
moderated. A clear deceleration from 1994's GDP growth rate of 4% permitted a
respite from the interest rate spiral that depressed stock and bond returns in
1994.

Market Review
   As the Federal Reserve continued implementing its interest-rate-tightening
policy during the last half of the year, volatility was evident in both the
stock and bond markets. Despite solid earnings, the stock market, as measured
by
the S&P 500 Index, ended the last quarter of 1994 down 0.02%. Foreign stocks
were down 1.02% for the quarter, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Europe,
Australia and Far East Index (EAFE).
   The bond market reacted to negative news throughout the fourth quarter,
especially when news that Orange County's aggressive use of leveraged derivative
securities caused the fund's value to plummet. By the end of the quarter, the
Treasury yield curve had flattened and the bond market, as measured by the
Lehman Aggregate Index, was up slightly--0.38%.
   In contrast to 1994, both stock and bond markets posted gains during the
first quarter of 1995. Although the dollar fell significantly against the Yen
(and to a lesser degree against the Deutschmark), the S&P 500 was up nearly
10%--one of the largest gains on record. Foreign stocks as measured by the EAFE
Index were up 1.86% for the quarter. Bonds rallied steadily throughout the
quarter and yields on 30-year Treasury bonds declined by 0.4%, leaving interest
rates below levels last seen in July 1994. The bond market, as measured by the
Lehman Aggregate, was 5.04% ahead for the quarter.
Fund Performance
   Each of the Funds achieved positive absolute results for the six-month period
ending March 31, 1995, with the exception of the International Stock Fund. This
is a turnaround from the one-year period ended September 30, 1994, when returns
were slightly negative for most funds and very positive for the International
Stock Fund. This illustrates the benefit to investors of diversification in
dampening portfolio volatility.
   Since each Fund's inception, returns have been positive and competitive with
the respective
                                       1

comparable benchmarks. Performance information, comments from each investment
adviser and holdings for each Fund can be found on the following pages.
Summary
   Investment markets continue to be volatile, often moving rapidly over short
time periods. As a result, it is important to again emphasize the need to focus
on the longer-term. Investors who look beyond the short-term volatility may be
rewarded in accordance with the risk assumed. We are pleased with the Funds'
performance thus far and continue to look forward to meeting the investment and
retirement needs of our shareholders.
                                 Sincerely,
                                 Mark R. Fetting

                THE PRUDENTIAL                     GROWTH STOCK FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital through investment
primarily in equity securities of established companies with above-average
growth prospects. Current income, if any, is incidental.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  The Adviser concentrates
on large capitalization companies with the potential for above-average growth.
Stocks are selected on a company-by-company basis through the use of fundamental
analysis.

The Adviser looks for companies that demonstrate superior sales growth, high
levels of unit growth, high return on assets and equity, and a strong balance
sheet, as well as being attractively valued in the judgment of the Adviser.

ADVISER:  The Growth Stock Fund is managed by Jennison Associates Capital Corp.
Founded in 1969 and acquired by The Prudential in 1985, Jennison adheres to
clearly defined investment philosophies and is dedicated to achieving superior
investment results for institutional investors. Jennison manages over $22
billion in equity, balanced, and fixed income accounts.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  During the six-month period ended March 31, 1995, the Fund
benefited from the strong performance of technology stocks, but volatility in
this sector was demonstrated repeatedly by large drops in stocks which did not
meet short-term expectations. During the period, the Fund outperformed the
Lipper Growth Funds Average return of 6.0%, but underperformed the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index. Had it not been for the exposure in the portfolio to the
devaluation of the Mexican peso in December 1994, the Fund would have
outperformed the S&P 500. The Mexican stocks in the Fund were eliminated as
quickly as possible, but the damage was done. An encouraging sign was the
renewed strength of the traditional consumer growth stocks, particularly the
larger companies. These are well represented in the Fund and have underperformed
for the three years leading up to the middle of 1994, but may be starting a
period of significant outperformance. We remain encouraged by the strong
earnings growth prospects of the portfolio companies and their
uncharacteristically low valuation compared to the market in general. As the
economy slows, we believe these dynamics position the Fund well for the
foreseeable future.

Returns from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Investment
return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance
is no guarantee of future results. The Manager is currently limiting the
expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total return would
have been lower.

The S&P 500 Index is a commonly used unmanaged indicator of stock market
performance.

                THE PRUDENTIAL                STOCK INDEX FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price and
yield performance of the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  The portfolio is managed using a passive, indexing
approach instead of traditional methods of security analysis. The Adviser
accomplishes this goal by purchasing securities that, as a group, reflect the
price and yield performance of the S&P 500.
The Fund will not adopt a temporary defensive investment posture in times of
declining market conditions; therefore, investors bear the risk of such market
conditions.

ADVISER:  Prudential Diversified Investment Strategies (PDI) is a business unit
of The Prudential Investment Corporation dedicated to equity index and balanced
fund investing for institutional clients. Established in 1975, PDI began
managing equity index portfolios in 1979 and currently manages $3.7 billion in
stock index funds.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:   The Fund continued to meet its objective of tracking the
S&P 500 Index. Before fees, the Stock Index Fund led the S&P 500 Index by 0.1%
for the six months ended March 31, 1995.

The fourth quarter of 1994 was characterized by the same volatility that was
evident in the market throughout the year. The S&P moved between a high of 473
and a low of 445--a spread of 28 index points, or more than 5%. Despite
fluctuations in the stock market which accompanied the Federal Reserve's sixth
rate hike, stocks were even for the quarter.

By the end of the first quarter in 1995, the S&P 500 was up nearly 10%--one of
the best returns on record. The first quarter's gains were largely value-driven.
Last year, the negative impact of rising interest rates offset the positive
effects of strong corporate earnings. That trend was reversed in 1995.
Earnings are still strong and lower interest rates have allowed earnings to be
fully reflected in rising stock prices. The historical average annual return in
stocks about equals the first quarter's results and subsequent increases in
stock prices will have to be accompanied by corresponding reductions in interest
rates for valuations to remain attractive.

</TABLE>

Returns from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical, reflect reinvestment of dividends and are net of expenses.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results. The Manager is currently limiting
the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total return
would have been lower.

The S&P 500 Index is a commonly used unmanaged indicator of stock market
performance. ``Standard & Poor's,'' ``S&P,'' ``S&P 500,'' ``Standard & Poor's
500,'' and ``500'' are trademarks of McGraw-Hill, Inc. and have been licensed

                THE PRUDENTIAL                INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital through investment in
equity securities of foreign companies. Income is a secondary objective.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  While the Fund may invest anywhere outside the U.S., it
is
expected that most investments will be made in developed countries in North
America, Western Europe and the Pacific Basin.

The Adviser maintains a consistently applied valuation process and remains
sensitive to stock prices keeping a long-term, global perspective. To this end,
each market is screened for undervalued securities using both historical and
forecasted data.

ADVISER:  The Fund's adviser is Mercator Asset Management, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Prudential. Mercator is dedicated to global and international
common stock investing. Organized in 1984 by senior professionals formerly
associated with Templeton Investment Counsel, Mercator is a conservative,
value-oriented manager, which places great emphasis on capital preservation.
Mercator manages $1.6 billion for institutional clients.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  For the first half of the fiscal year, the Fund returned
- -5.58% vs. the EAFE index of +0.82%. We have seen a continuation of the trend
that began in November 1994. Foreign stocks have been laggards as investors
grapple with interest rates, currency issues and the business cycle. Since many
domestic investors chose to ``stay at home'', flows into international stock
funds declined. We expect this trend to change as investors recognize the values
available in foreign stocks relative to U.S. stocks.

After careful analysis of the situation in Mexico, we decided to eliminate our
positions. The problems will take longer to solve than we originally thought and
the risks are great. While we owned some very good companies, they are at the
mercy of the government. The economy suffers from a volatile currency, high
inflation, very high interest rates and no official government policy on the
peso. The risks of bankruptcies have increased over the last month.
Consequently, we see little upside potential over the medium term.

Looking at other markets, we took profits in France and New Zealand. On the buy
side, money was invested in some undervalued stocks in Sweden and Korea. We are
finding undervalued stocks in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Australia
and Korea. On a more selective basis, a few companies in Sweden and Spain are
appealing following recent price declines. Japan as a market is still
overvalued, although some issues are beginning to look more attractively priced
as the market continues its decline. As we have mentioned before, stock
selectivity is very important and portfolios should be well diversified by
country and industry. We believe the long-term outlook for the stocks in the
Fund is very good based on attractive valuation levels.

Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Investment
return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing in foreign markets
involves additional risks such as currency fluctuations and political and social
developments, which are described in the Fund's prospectus.

The EAFE Index is a commonly used, unmanaged indicator of the performance of
international stock markets.

                THE PRUDENTIAL                    ACTIVE BALANCED FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to achieve total returns approaching equity returns, while
accepting less risk than an all-equity portfolio, through an actively-managed
portfolio of equity securities, fixed income securities and money market
instruments.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  Under normal operating
parameters, the Adviser will use the following ranges, as a percentage of total
assets, for each type of security to be purchased by the Fund:

   - 40-75% will be invested in common stocks, preferred stocks and other
   equity-related securities.
   - 25-60% will be invested in investment-grade fixed income securities.
   - 0-35% will be invested in money market instruments.

The Fund's investments will be actively shifted among these asset classes to
capitalize on intermediate-term valuation opportunities and to maximize the
Fund's total investment return.

ADVISER:  Jennison Associates Capital Corp. is dedicated to achieving superior
investment results for institutional investors. Founded in 1969 and acquired by
The Prudential in 1985, Jennison adheres to clearly defined investment
philosophies. Jennison manages over $22 billion in equity, balanced, and fixed
income accounts.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  The six months ending March 31, 1995 proved to be a
continuation of the extreme ``rotational'' nature that has recently
characterized the markets. The Fund entered this period relatively cautiously
on
equities believing that on a risk/reward basis, bonds would give stocks tough
competition. Although stocks as measured by the popular averages did better than
anticipated during the period (S&P 500 up 9.7%), the ``average stock'' as
represented by overall market breadth did not fare nearly as well. Bonds during
this period did manage a 5.4% gain as measured by the Lehman
Government/Corporate Index, a welcome relief from the negative performance of
the previous six month period.

Overall, the Prudential Institutional Active Balanced Fund managed to ``hold its
own'' during this six-month period. While the Fund's 5.8% return was
unimpressive relative to a normal blend of equities and bonds, this return
compared favorably with the Lipper Balanced Funds average which recorded a 4.9%
return, attesting to the difficulty of dealing with the aforementioned
rotational stock market.

The Fund ended the period still relatively defensive towards equities and
neutral on bonds. Importantly, the stocks in the portfolio have extremely strong
earnings growth characteristics and are selling at appealing valuation levels.
A
sell off in the equity market in general would encourage a higher overall equity
allocation. The bond exposure continues to be the highest quality, invested all
in U.S. government bonds, and is focused in the intermediate maturity area,
where we believe the yield curve has the best risk/reward potential.

Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Investment
return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Manager is currently
limiting the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction of expenses, the total
return would have been lower.

(1) The Composite Index is a weighted average as follows: 60% S&P 500 Index and
40% Lehman Government/Corporate Index, an unmanaged indicator of bond market
performance. The Fund, on average, has been invested approximately 41% in
stocks, 38% in bonds and 21% in short-terms for each of the periods. The S&P 500
returned 9.72%, 15.57% and 9.49%; and the Lehman Index returned 5.37%, 4.57% and
5.15% for each period, respectively.

                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to realize long-term total return consistent with moderate
portfolio risk.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  Under normal operating
parameters, the Adviser will use the following ranges, as a percentage of total
assets, for each type of security to be purchased by the Fund:

   - 25%-50% will be invested in common and preferred stocks and other
   equity-related securities.
   - 30%-60% will be invested in investment-grade fixed income securities of
   intermediate maturities.
   - 0-45% will be invested in money market instruments.

ADVISER:  Prudential Diversified Investment Strategies (PDI) is a business unit
of The Prudential Investment Corporation dedicated to equity index and balanced
fund investing for institutional clients. Established in 1975, PDI is among the
oldest quantitatively-oriented balanced managers in the country, currently
managing approximately $18 billion in equity, balanced and fixed income
accounts.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  Following the November 1994 elections, the Federal Reserve
raised short-term interest rates for the sixth time during the year. Stock and
bond markets were down for 1994 and the Balanced Fund underperformed its
benchmark for the year, primarily because of underweighted positions in the
consumer sector of the stock market. Both the stock and bond markets fared much
better during the first quarter of 1995. The S&P 500 Index was up 9.74% for the
quarter--one of the best on record. The stock market benefited from strong
earnings and the lack of further interest rate hikes. The Fund's allocation was
overweight in stocks (over 46% of assets) for the quarter. However, the value
stock holdings in the Fund's portfolio underperformed the broader market index
(S&P 500) for the quarter. Smaller stocks, particularly value-oriented ones,
generally did not fare as well as the broader market indices. Bonds were
slightly underweight for the quarter, while cash was somewhat overweight.
Although we continue to favor stocks and would like to see the trend continue,
we do not expect further gains of this magnitude. We believe the better values
appear to be in stocks as long as inflation remains under control and future
tightening by the Federal Reserve is moderate.

Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee
of future results. The Manager is currently limiting the expenses of the Fund.
Without this reduction of expenses, the total return would have been lower.

(1) The Composite Index is a weighted average as follows: 45% S&P 500; 45%
Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index; 10% Treasury-Bill return. The Fund,
on average, has been invested 45% in stocks, 42% in bonds and 13% in short-terms
for each of the periods. The S&P 500 returned 9.72%, 15.57% and 10.88%; 
the Lehman Government/Corporate Index returned 5.37%, 4.57% and 5.83%, and 
Treasury-Bills returned 2.80%, 4.88% and 3.85% for each period, respectively.

                THE PRUDENTIAL                         INCOME FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to achieve a high level of income over the longer term, while
providing reasonable safety of principal.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  This Fund is primarily an investment grade, intermediate
maturity, fixed income portfolio. It is managed with the objective of
outperforming the Lehman Aggregate Index, a benchmark which is commonly used by
institutional pension funds as a proxy for the U.S. investment grade debt
market. Historically, the returns of the index itself compare favorably with
that of the average general fixed income mutual fund. The Fund attempts to
outperform the index through issue and sector selection. Forecasting interest
rates plays only a subsidiary role in the management of the portfolio.

ADVISER:  The Income Fund is managed by Prudential Global Advisers (PGA), a
business unit of Prudential Investment Corporation. PGA specializes in domestic
and global fixed income management. PGA manages approximately $21 billion in
fixed income accounts.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  Interest rates on 30-year Treasury bonds declined from a
high of 8.17% during 1994 to 7.88% by year end, and 7.43% by the end of the
first quarter. The shape of the yield curve, which flattened suddenly and
aggressively during the fourth quarter, reversed somewhat during the first
quarter, largely due to the market's expectations that the Federal Reserve's
February 50 basis point tightening might be this cycle's last. The spread
between two-year and 30-year Treasuries, which narrowed from 123 to 19 basis
points over the fourth quarter, widened out again to 65 basis points by March
31.

Since our last report to you six months ago, returns across all sectors of the
fixed income market were positive. The Lehman Aggregate returned 5.44%, the bulk
of the returns occurring in the most recent quarter (5.04%). Governments
returned 5.08%, corporates were up 6.38% and mortgages up 5.69% for the
six-month period.

The Income Fund remained modestly overweighted in corporates (which outperformed
other sectors particularly during the first quarter, due to strong investor
appetite for yield) and gradually increased mortgage pass-through exposure from
a neutral 30% to 40% of market value (approximately a 10% overweighting versus
the Lehman Aggregate). Holdings of corporates remained at approximately 17%,
governments 36% and cash 9%.

Results from inception are average annual returns. Fund performance figures are
historical and reflect reinvestment of dividends. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee
of future results. The Manager is currently limiting the expenses of the Fund.
Without this reduction of expenses, the total return would have been lower.

The Lehman Aggregate Index is a commonly used unmanaged indicator of broad bond
market performance.

                THE PRUDENTIAL                      MONEY MARKET FUND
                INSTITUTIONAL
                FUND

OBJECTIVE:  Seeks to achieve high current income, preservation of principal and
maintenance of liquidity.

INVESTMENT APPROACH:  The Fund invests in U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments, including commercial paper and bank obligations such as
certificates of deposits and banker's acceptance notes from domestic and foreign
issuers. The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of
90 days or less and purchase only instruments maturing in 13 months or less,
which have been determined to present minimal credit risks. The Fund's yield
will fluctuate, and the Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per
share for purchases and redemptions.

ADVISER:  Prudential Global Advisors (PGA) is a business unit of The Prudential
Investment Corporation which specializes in domestic and international fixed
income management. PGA currently manages approximately $21 billion in fixed
income accounts, including $4 billion in money market assets.

ADVISER'S COMMENTS:  Over the last six months, money market yields have risen
substantially, and have shown significant volatility as well. Your Fund tried
to
take advantage of this environment. The Fund's seven-day current yield is now
over 5.5%, its highest since inception.

Since our last report, the Federal Reserve, in an effort to slow the economy and
head off potential inflation, continued to raise rates to levels that have not
been seen in several years. The Federal Reserve arranged two monetary tightening
steps during the past six months. On November 15 the rate was increased by a
surprisingly large .75% to 5.5%, and on February 1, the rate was again
increased, this time by a well-anticipated .5% to 6.0%.

The Fund took advantage of the changes in rates by investing in shorter
securities until the November 15 move, and then in somewhat longer securities
through year-end, when rates were at their highest levels of the six-month
period. The average maturity of the Fund was over 50 days for most of late
November and December. After the turn of the year, the Fund focused on shorter
securities until the February 1 tightening, moving the average maturity below
25
days in January. After the February move, the Fund returned to a more neutral
posture, ending the quarter at 36 days. In general, a shorter average maturity
allows the Fund to incorporate new rates more quickly, while a longer average
maturity allows the Fund to hang on to higher rates for a longer time.

We have continued to maintain a high quality portfolio. At the end of March, all
the portfolio's investments were rated high quality by at least two or more
nationally recognized rating agencies, or if unrated, deemed to be of equivalent
quality.

 PERFORMANCE RESULTS:
 As of March 31, 1995, the current seven-day yield was 5.65%. The net asset
 value remained at $1.00 per share.

An investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
government and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain
a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Manager is currently limiting
the expenses of the Fund. Without this reduction, the seven-day yield would have
been 5.32%.

                FUND                      (UNAUDITED)
                
   The Prudential Institutional Fund (the ``Company'') is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment
company. The Company was established as a Delaware business trust on May 11,
1992 and consists of seven separate funds (Fund or Funds): Growth Stock Fund,
Stock Index Fund, International Stock Fund, Active Balanced Fund, Balanced Fund,
Income Fund and Money Market Fund. The Company had no operations until July 7,
1992 when 10,000 shares of beneficial interest (2,500 shares each of Growth
Stock Fund, Stock Index Fund, International Stock Fund and Balanced Fund) were
sold for $100,000 to Prudential Institutional Fund Management, Inc. (``PIFM'').
Investment operations commenced on: November 5, 1992 for the Growth Stock Fund,
Stock Index Fund, International Stock Fund and Balanced Fund; January 4, 1993
for the Active Balanced Fund and Money Market Fund; and March 1, 1993 for the
Income Fund.
   The Funds' investment objectives are as follows: Growth Stock Fund--long-term
growth of capital through investment primarily in equity securities of
established companies with above-average growth prospects; Stock Index
Fund--investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index; International Stock
Fund--long-term growth of capital through investment in equity securities of
foreign issues with income as a secondary objective; Active Balanced Fund--total
returns approaching equity returns, while accepting less risk than an all-equity
portfolio, through an actively-managed portfolio of equity securities, fixed
income securities and money market instruments; Balanced Fund--long-term total
return consistent with moderate portfolio risk; Income Fund--a high level of
income over the longer term while providing reasonable safety of principal; and
Money Market Fund--high current income, preservation of principal and
maintenance of liquidity, while maintaining a $1.00 net asset value per share.
   The ability of issuers of debt securities, other than those issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, held by the Funds to meet their obligations
may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, region, or
country.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund.
   Securities Valuations: Securities, including options, warrants, futures
contracts and options thereon, for which the primary market is on a national
securities exchange, commodities exchange or board of trade and NASDAQ national
market equity securities are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or
board of trade on the date of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day,
at
the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such day.
   Securities, that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market,
including listed securities for which the primary market is believed to be
over-the-counter, shall be valued at the average of the most recently quoted bid
and asked prices provided by a principal market maker or dealer.
   U.S. Government securities for which market quotations are available shall
be
valued at a price provided by an independent broker/dealer or pricing service.
   Securities for which reliable market quotations are not available or for
which the pricing agent or principal market maker does not provide a valuation
or provides a valuation that, in the judgment of one of the subadvisers, does
not represent fair value, shall be valued at fair value as determined under
procedures established by the Trustees.
   Quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency shall be converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents at the current rate obtained from a
                                       43
<PAGE>
                THE PRUDENTIAL            NOTES TO
                INSTITUTIONAL             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FUND                      (UNAUDITED)

recognized bank or dealer. Forward currency exchange contracts shall be valued
at the current cost of covering or offsetting such contracts.
   Securities held by the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security
at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant
amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at
maturity and cost. Short-term securities held by the other Funds which mature
in
more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations. Short-term securities
held by the other Funds which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost. In the event that a Subadviser determines that amortized cost does not
represent fair value for certain short-term securities with remaining maturities
of 60 days or less, such securities will be valued at market value.
   In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company's
policy that its custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be under
triparty repurchase agreements, take possession of the underlying collateral
securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase
transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase
transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is
marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. 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 Company may be delayed or limited.
   Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are
calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
   Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to
purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price
for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract,
the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other
assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is
known as the ``initial margin.'' Subsequent payments, known as ``variation
margin,'' are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is
recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain
or
loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and
is presented in the statement of operations as net realized gain (loss) on
financial futures contracts.
   The Funds invest in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its
existing portfolio securities, or securities the Funds intend to purchase,
against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates.
Should interest rates move unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated
benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realized a loss. The use of
futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in
the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedge assets.
   Dollar Rolls: The Fund may enter into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells
securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase somewhat similar securities on a specified future date. During the
roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The
Fund is compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial
sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date.
   Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars.
                                       44
<PAGE>
                THE PRUDENTIAL            NOTES TO
                INSTITUTIONAL             FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                FUND                      (UNAUDITED)

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 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 Funds are presented at the foreign exchange
rates and market values at the close of the fiscal period, the Funds do 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 end of the fiscal period. Similarly, the
Funds do 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 period. Accordingly, these realized foreign
currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses)
on investment transactions.
   Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions, if any,
represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from holding of foreign
currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement
dates of securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of
dividends and foreign taxes recorded on the Funds' 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 at period end
exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/
depreciation on investments and 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 level of governmental supervision and regulation of
foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic
instability.
   Equalization: The Funds (except for the Income and Money Market Funds) follow
the accounting practice known as equalization by which a portion of the proceeds
from sales and costs of reacquisitions of Fund shares, equivalent on a per share
basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the
transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As
a
result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or
reacquisitions of the Funds' shares.
   Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions of each Fund are
declared in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
The Income Fund and Money Market Fund will declare dividends of their net
investment income and, for the Money Market Fund, net capital gain (loss), daily
and distribute such dividends monthly. Each other Fund will declare and
distribute a dividend of its net investment income, if any, at least annually.
Except for the Money Market Fund, each Fund will declare and distribute its net
capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions of income dividends and
capital gains distributions of each Fund are made on the payment date and
reinvested at the per share net asset value as of the record date or such other
date as the Board may determine. On the ``ex-dividend'' date, the net asset
value per share excludes the dividend (i.e., is reduced by the amount of the
distribution).
   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
   Taxes: It is the Funds' policy to continue to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
                                       45

to distribute all of its taxable net income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
federal income tax provision is required.
   Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance
with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
   Reclassification of Capital Accounts: The Company accounts for and reports
distributions to shareholders in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and
Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies.
   For the six months ended March 31, 1995, the application of this statement
effected undistributed net investment income (``UNI'') and accumulated net
realized gain (loss) on investments (``G/L'') by the following amounts:

</TABLE>
 
   Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected
by
this change.
   Deferred Organizational Expenses: Costs incurred of approximately $450,000,
in connection with the organization and initial registration of the Company have
been deferred and are amortized ratably over the period of benefit not to exceed
60 months from the date each of the Funds' commence of investment operations.
Note 2. Agreements
