Dear Target Investor:

Many investors enjoyed one of the best years ever in 1995. Falling 
interest rates, modest economic growth, low inflation, and improved

productivity contributed to strong  stock and bond market returns. 
It was also a year in which taking risk paid-off.

  It was also a good year for Target as many investors in the
program 
earned 20-25%, before the advisory fee. The most conservative
allocation 
(all bonds) rose 13.0%, and the most aggressive (all stocks), rose
26.8%, 
before fees. The allocations usually contain between five and eight

separate portfolios and, importantly, offer tremendous
diversification: 
stocks and bonds, large caps and small caps, growth and value,
foreign 
and domestic.  While some portfolios did do better than others,
that 
was expected.  No one knows what specific investment will do best, 
but a proper overall allocation offers you a good chance at
long-term 
success.

** Source: Lipper Analytical Services. Target total returns are in
bold face 
type. These returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and 
distributions and take into account all charges and expenses
applicable 
to an investment in each portfolio except the annual Target
advisory fee. 
For retail accounts, the maximum annual advisory fee is 1.5% of
equity 
portfolio assets and 1.0% of bond and money market portfolio
assets. 
For retirement accounts, the maximum advisory fees are 1.25% and
1.35%,
respectively. 

  Past performance is not indicative of future results. Principal
and 
investment return will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when

redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. An 
investment in these portfolios is neither insured nor guaranteed 
by the U.S. Government and there can be no assurance that the U.S. 
Government Money Market Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable

net asset value.

Stocks Soared

U.S. stocks set many records as the Dow Jones Industrial Average
finished 
at 5117, up from 3834 on December 31, 1994. The S&P 500, a broader
market 
index, returned 37.5% for the year, sixth best since 1925, and
highest 
since 1958. For perspective, indices like the S&P 500 and the Dow, 
which have no expenses, were extremely hard to beat. Most mutual
funds 
and money managers who did beat them probably bet heavily on
technology 
or finance, which, in retrospect, was a good move.

  Gains were broad-based, as winners outpaced losers 3.5:1 on the
New 
York Stock Exchange. While the technology sector (+40%) certainly
gained 
most of the glory, it started to fade late in the year, and the top
spot 
went to the 

                                   2
<PAGE>

financial sector (+50%), according to Dow Jones. Smaller 
subsets of the Dow Jones component sectors posted even more
spectacular 
gains: biotech (+80%), aerospace and defense (+71%), and oil
drilling 
(+72%). Trucking (-14%) and steel(-9%) brought up the rear.

  For the year, "value" and "growth" stocks did about the same,
though 
until technology started to falter, growth was ahead. In 1994
growth 
won, and in 1993, value won. These styles tend to go in and out of 
favor. Generally, growth stocks exhibit higher price to earnings 
ratios (P/Es) and revenue growth than value stocks.  In addition, 
large company stocks outperformed small company stocks as the
Russell 
2000 index rose "only" 28.4%.

  Target's investment advisers built 
their reputations by investing prudently, in a diversified manner, 
and always looking long-term. Since Target began, they've been held

to that task and, overall, they've delivered. For example, the 
Target Large Cap Value Portfolio rose 32% for the year, to lead 
our pack. One co-manager, INVESCO, generally focused on financial 
and healthcare issues. The other co-manager, Hotchkis & Wiley, 
favored financial and consumer non-durables (beverages, retail, 
tobacco). Of note: due to technology's huge advance, such "pricey" 
issues rarely are found in value portfolios. These issues often are

found, however, in growth portfolios. Technology is a major sector 
holding for both Large Cap Growth advisers: Columbus Circle and 
Oak Associates. Like most Small Cap Funds, the Target Small Cap 
Growth and Value portfolios posted strong absolute returns, but 
still lagged their Large Cap counterparts.

Growth & Value Stocks Tend To Be Countercyclical.
(GRAHP)

Source:  Frank Russell Co.  Past performance is not indicative 
of future results.  Performance reflects the total return of "value

stocks" and "growth stocks."

One way to manage risk is to diversify across investment styles. 
While the styles go in and out of favor, both have performed 
comparable over the long term. Trying to time the markets and 
invest in the "hot" style is hard to do. Instead, you probably 
should invest in an overall portfolio that employs both a "growth" 
and "value" philosophy. That will help you manage risk and smooth 
out your returns. Target offers you access to both styles of 
investing since there are growth and value versions of the 
Target Large Cap and Small Cap Portfolios.

Bonds Also Did Well
Bonds turned-in one of their best years in history. The Lehman 
Brothers Aggregate Index returned 18.5% and the yield on the 
bellwether 30-year Treasury fell to 5.9%, from 7.9%. This is near
its 
record low of 5.8%, set in late 1993. The 

                            3
<PAGE>

main reason for the huge rise in bond prices (and drop in 
yields) was the continuing news that inflation remained low.

  Like stocks, bonds rewarded risk takers in 1995. The longer 
the maturity (and hence, the more risk you took), the better your 
return: prices of thirty-year zero-coupon bonds rose over 60%, 
according to Merrill Lynch. These bonds, however, are very risky 
and, in fact, were 1994's worst performers.

  Treasury bonds bettered corporate bonds, which bettered
mortgage-backed 
securities. When interest rates fall, generally, higher quality
issues 
do best, since their prices are only tied to interest rate
movements. 
By contrast, corporate bonds, generally, move with rates and the
perceived 
quality of the bond's issuing company. Because of their structure, 
mortgages tend to lag when rates drop significantly.

  With regard to  Target, the Total Return and Intermediate-Term
Portfolios, 
managed by PIMCO, beat their Lehman Brothers benchmarks. Versus
their 
Lipper averages, they were competitive, but that's only part of the

story. PIMCO is an active manager and generally avoids riskier,
very 
long-term bonds such as 20-30 year issues.  Many other funds in the

same categories, however, do buy these longer-term issues. These
two 
Target portfolios are prime examples of how Target seeks to provide

competitive returns, but with less risk. 

  The Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio capped-off another
strong 
year. According to Lipper, the average mortgage fund rose a
cumulative 
19.7% for the past three years, while Target's Portfolio, run by 
Wellington, returned 25.5% for the same period! That 5.8 percentage

point out-performance is no small feat, as bond fund returns
normally 
are in a narrow range. The Money Market Portfolio also did well
and, 
like Mortgage Backed, has a three-year record that is ahead of its 
Lipper average (12.0% vs 11.8%, cumulative). That portfolio is
managed 
by Wellington as well.

International Returns Were Modest

International Stocks
The Morgan Stanley EAFE index rose 11.6% for the year. Normally,
that 
would be a nice return, except that it paled in comparison to the
S&P 
500's 37.5% figure. The EAFE is dominated by Japanese issues, and
Japan's 
market severely lagged most other major markets.

  European markets, overall, did well in local and U.S. Dollar
terms. 
In U.S. Dollars, Switzerland led (+43%) while Italy lagged (-6%).
In 
the Americas, Canada did well, though Mexico collapsed in U.S.
Dollar 
terms (-27%) due to currency and economic problems. The Asian
markets 
were uninspiring, as the Dow Jones Asia/Pacific Index, with and
without 
Japan, rose a 

                                 4
<PAGE>
meager 0.3% and 10.3%, respectively. Hong Kong, Australia, 
and New Zealand did reasonably well, while Taiwan and the
Philippines 
were down sharply.

  Target's International Equity Portfolio had a solid year (15.4%),

beating both the EAFE (11.6%) and the Lipper International Fund 
average (9.4%). At year-end, the Portfolio's largest country
allocations 
were Japan (27.0%) and Great Britain (15.8%). Scandinavian and
European 
countries comprised much of the rest. For most of the year,
performance 
was helped by a relatively low exposure to Japan (which recently
was 
increased) compared to the EAFE and similar funds.

International Bonds
It was also a good year for bonds as they rose 19.5%, judging by
the 
Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index. As in the
U.S., 
most major markets saw a large decline in rates, which generated 
large returns. In local terms, Canada had the strongest market, 
and in U.S Dollar terms, France was best. In December, short-term 
German interest rates were cut, and that was followed by similar 
cuts in other countries.

  Versus the major currencies, the U.S. Dollar ended about even
with 
the Japanese yen and British pound, but down against the German
mark. 
Currency fluctuations markedly affect international bond returns, 
positively and negatively.  As a result, these bonds are useful for

diversification purposes, in addition to their high return
potential.

  By year-end, the Target International Bond Portfolio's largest
bond 
allocation was in Japan (13.7%). European issues comprised 58% of
the 
portfolio with Australia, Canada, and New Zealand representing the 
balance. The portfolio is managed by Fiduciary International. While

Fiduciary is relatively unknown to mutual fund investors, large 
institutions know them well. The firm has over $36 billion in 
assets and has managed money since 1931.

The Outlook is Positive
Few people expect stocks to advance in 1996 like they did in 1995, 
but generally, people are optimistic. For bonds, the consensus call

is for slightly lower rates along the entire yield curve by
year-end. 
That would generate nice gains, but again, nowhere near last year's

gains. On the international front, both stocks and bonds seem
poised 
for a solid year. The U.S. led the way in 1995, and often, the
foreign 
markets follow soon after.

  At 5,117, at year end, the next Dow milestone, 6,000, is only 17%

away, so it's easy to lose a sense of perspective. The market has
not 
fallen more than 10% from a mid-year high in over five years,
judging 
by the S & P 500. In fact, it fell by 20%, or more, 29 times this
century! 

                                      5
<PAGE>

  From 1926-1995, the market averaged an annual return of 10.5%. 
It 
averaged 16.4% from 1982-1995.  But in 1995, it rose a staggering
37.5%, 
or 27 percentage points above its long-term average! Consequently,
the 
question to ask is this: "Given my personal goals and resources, do
I 
have the right exposure to low risk and high risk investments, to 
stocks and bonds, to foreign and domestic?"

  As usual, the prudent, long-term investor will use the techniques

of diversification and asset allocation to his or her advantage. 
While there are no assurances that you will be successful in the 
long-term, surely it's the best way to increase your chances. 

  As always, we appreciate your commitment to Target and having 
the opportunity to report our activities to you.

Sincerely,

Richard A. Redeker
President

Your Allocation Mainly 
Determines Your Returns 

(PIE CHART)

Based on a study of 82 large pension funds. 
Source: Financial Analysts Journal, May/June 1991.

Asset allocation is the process of designing an overall portfolio
that 
reflects your personal risk and return requirements. It helps you 
invest in specific amounts of different securities: i.e.,
corporates, 
Treasurys, small caps, large caps, foreign, etc. Asset allocation 
implies that, over the long-term, it's usually more important to 
be in stocks and bonds as a whole than it is to pick individual 
stocks and bonds. In fact, just over 91% of a portfolio's long-term

return is due to the initial allocation. 

Target's asset allocations are designed for you once you complete 
the Target Questionnaire. In this way, the Target program helps 
ensure that your overall account reflects your personal investment 
risk and return requirements.

               THE TARGET PORTFOLIO TRUST
               Notes to Financial Statements

           The Target Portfolio Trust (the ``Fund'') is an open-end
management
           investment company. The Fund was established as a
Delaware business
           trust on July 29, 1992 and consists of ten separate
portfolios (the
           ``Portfolio'' or ``Portfolios''): Large Capitalization
Growth
           Portfolio, Large Capitalization 
Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Small
Capitalization Value Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio,
International
Bond Portfolio, Total Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond
Portfolio,
Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio and U.S. Government Money
Market Portfolio.
All the Portfolios are diversified as defined under the Investment
Company Act
of 1940 except for International Bond Portfolio. Investment
operations commenced
on January 5, 1993 with the exception of the International Bond
Portfolio which
commenced on May 17, 1994.
 
      The Portfolios' investment objectives are as follows: Large
Capitalization
Growth Portfolio--long-term capital appreciation through investment
primarily
in
equities that, in the investment adviser's opinion, have a growth
of earnings
potential greater than that of the S&P 500; Large Capitalization
Value
Portfolio--total return of capital appreciation and dividend income
through
investment primarily in equities that, in the adviser's opinion,
have above
average price appreciation potential; Small Capitalization Growth
Portfolio--maximum capital appreciation through investment
primarily in equities
of ``emerging growth'' companies; Small Capitalization Value
Portfolio--above
average capital appreciation through investment in equities that,
in the
adviser's opinion, are undervalued or overlooked in the
marketplace;
International Equity Portfolio--capital appreciation through
investment
primarily in equity securities of companies domiciled outside the
United States;
International Bond Portfolio--high total return through investment
primarily in
high quality foreign debt securities denominated primarily in
foreign
currencies; Total Return Bond Portfolio--total return of current
income and
capital appreciation through investment primarily in fixed-income
securities of
varying maturities with a dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of more
than four years but not more than fifteen years; Intermediate-Term
Bond
Portfolio--current income and reasonable stability of principal
through
investment primarily in high quality fixed-income securities of
varying
maturities with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of
more than three
years but not more than ten years; Mortgage Backed Securities
Portfolio--high
current income and capital appreciation each consistent with the
protection of
capital through investment primarily in mortgage related
securities; U.S.
Government Money Market Portfolio--high current income, maintenance
of liquidity
and preservation of principal through investment exclusively in
short-term
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or
instrumentalities.
      The ability of issuers of debt securities (other than those
issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Portfolios to meet
their
obligations may be affected by economic or political 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 in the preparation of its financial statements.
      Securities Valuations: Securities, including options, futures
contracts
and options thereon, for which the primary market is on a national
securities
exchange, commodities exchange or board of trade 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, including options, 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, are 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 are
valued at a price provided by an independent broker/dealer or
pricing service.
      Quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are
converted to
U.S. dollar equivalents at the current rate obtained from a
recognized bank or
dealer.
      Securities for which market quotations are not available, are
valued in
good faith under procedures adopted by the Trustees.
      Securities held by the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio
are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term
securities held
by the other portfolios which mature in 60 days or less 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
portfolios
which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market
quotations.
 
      In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it
is the Fund's
policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying
collateral
securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the
repurchase
transaction,
 
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

                                             46

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.
 
      All securities (except those of the U.S. Government Money
Market
Portfolio) are valued as of 4:15 P.M., New York time. The U.S.
Government Money
Market Portfolio calculates net asset value as of 4:30 P.M., New
York time.
 
      Securities Transactions and Net 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. The Fund
amortizes premiums and discounts paid on purchases of portfolio
securities as
adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the
accrual basis which
may require the use of certain estimates by management. The cost of
portfolio
securities for federal income tax purposes is substantially the
same as for
financial reporting purposes.
 
      Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Reverse repurchase agreements
involve the
sale of a portfolio-eligible security by the Fund, coupled with an
agreement to
repurchase the security at a specified date and price. The Fund
maintains
segregated assets consisting of cash, U.S. Government securities or
high grade
debt securities equal (on a daily mark-to-market basis) to its
obligations under
reverse repurchase agreements with broker-dealers (but not banks).
Reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of
securities
retained by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the
securities
sold by the Fund which it is obligated to repurchase. Reverse
repurchase
agreements are considered to be borrowings by the Fund, and are
subject to the
Fund's overall restriction on borrowing under which it must
maintain asset
coverage of at least 300%.
 
      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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio invests in financial futures contracts in order
to hedge its
existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio intends
to purchase,
against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing
interest rates.
Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not
achieve the
anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may
realize 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
hedged assets. The International Equity Portfolio, International
Bond Portfolio,
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio, Mortgage-Backed Securities
Portfolio and Total
Return Bond Portfolio are the only portfolios that may invest in
financial
futures contracts.
      Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the
Portfolios 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 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 Portfolios are presented at
the foreign
exchange rates and market values at the close of the fiscal year,
the Portfolios
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
year.
Similarly, the Portfolios 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 year.
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
represent net
foreign exchange gains (losses) from sales and maturities of
short-term
securities, 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, 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 at year 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.
 
      Forward Currency Contracts: The International Equity
Portfolio,
International Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and
Total Return
Bond Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts in order
to hedge their
exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their
foreign
portfolio holdings. A forward currency contract is a commitment to
purchase or
sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward
rate. The
Portfolio enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge
its exposure
to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign
portfolio holdings
or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign
currency. The
contracts are valued daily at current
 
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------
 
                                             47
<PAGE>
 
exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net
unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on investments. Gain or loss is
realized on the
settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the
settlement
value of the original and renegotiated forward contracts. This gain
or loss, if
any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency
transactions.
Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
potential inability
of the counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
      Options: The International Equity Portfolio, the
International Bond
Portfolio, the Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio, the Total Return
Bond Portfolio
and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio may either purchase or
write
options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or
fluctuations in
value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign
currency
exchange rates with respect to securities or currencies which the
Portfolio
currently owns or intends to purchase. When the Portfolio purchases
an option,
it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded
as an
investment. When the Portfolio writes an option, it receives a
premium and an
amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The
investment or
liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of
the option.
If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss
to the extent
of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the
premium received
or paid is an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost
basis of the
purchase in determining whether the Portfolio has realized a gain
or loss. The
difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on
effecting a
closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized
gain or loss.
Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain
(loss) on
investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is
presented separately
as net realized gain (loss) on written option transactions.
 
      The Portfolio, as writer of an option, has no control over
whether the
underlying securities or currencies may be sold (called) or
purchased (put). As
a result, the Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable
change in the
price of the security or currency underlying the written option.
The Portfolio,
as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential
inability of the
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
      Equalization: The Portfolios (except for the U.S. Government
Money Market
Portfolio) follow the accounting practice known as equalization by
which a
portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquisitions of
Portfolio
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
Portfolio shares.
 
      Reclassification of Capital Accounts: The Fund accounts for
and reports
distributions to shareholders in accordance with AICPA 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 of applying this Statement of Position, on the Small
Capitalization Value
Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Total Return Bond
Portfolio,
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and International Bond Portfolio,
was to
reclassify $2,600, ($978,444), $109,323, $193,129 and $245,549,
respectively,
of
foreign currency gains (losses) to undistributed net investment
income from
accumulated net realized gains (losses). In addition, the Mortgage
Backed
Securities Portfolio reclassified $96,463 of overdistributed income
to paid-in
capital from overdistributed net investment income and the Small
Capitalization
Value Portfolio reclassified $736,006 of tax equalization to
paid-in capital
from underdistributed net investment income. Current year net
investment income,
net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by
this statement.
      Dividends and Distributions: The International Bond
Portfolio, Total
Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and
Mortgage Backed
Securities Portfolio declare dividends of their net investment
income daily and
pay such dividends monthly. The U.S. Government Money Market
Portfolio declares
net investment income and any net capital gain (loss) daily and
pays such
dividends monthly. Each other Portfolio declares and pays a
dividend of its net
investment income, if any, at least annually. Each Portfolio except
for the U.S.
Government Money Market Portfolio declares and pays its net capital
gains, if
any, at least annually.
      Income distributions and capital gain distributions are
determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted
accounting principles.
      Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each portfolio in the
Fund is
treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the intent of each
portfolio to
continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable
net income
to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required.
      Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been
provided for
in accordance with the Portfolios' understanding of the applicable
country's tax
rules and rates.
      Deferred Organizational Expenses: A total of $279,000 was
incurred in
connection with the organization of the Fund. These costs have been
deferred and
are being amortized ratably over a period of sixty months from the
date the
Portfolio commenced investment operations.

Note 2. Agreements
      The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Mutual
Fund
Management, Inc. (``PMF'') pursuant to which PMF manages the
investment
operations of the Fund, administers the Fund's affairs and is
responsible for
the selection, subject to review and approval of the Trustees, of
the advisers.
PMF supervises the advisers' performance of advisory services and
makes
recommendations to the Trustees as to whether the advisers'
contracts should be
renewed, modified or terminated. PMF pays for the costs pursuant to
the advisory
agreements, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund,
occupancy and
certain clerical and accounting costs of the Fund. The Fund bears
all other
costs and expenses.

      PMF has subadvisory agreements with the advisers noted below
pursuant to
which each adviser furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the
management of the Portfolios. Each of the two Advisers of the
domestic equity
Portfolios--the Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Large
Capitalization
Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio and Small
Capitalization
Value Portfolio--manages approximately 50% of the assets of the
respective
Portfolio. In general, in order to maintain an approximately equal
division of
assets between the two Advisers, all daily cash inflows (i.e.,
subscriptions and
reinvested distributions) and outflows (i.e., redemptions and
expenses items)
will be divided between the two Advisers as the Manager deems it
appropriate.
In
addition, there will be a periodic rebalancing of each Portfolio's
assets to
take account of market fluctuations in order to maintain the
approximately equal
allocation. As a consequence, each Portfolio will allocate assets
from the
better performing of the two Advisers to the other.

               THE TARGET PORTFOLIO TRUST
               Independent Auditors' Report
 
The Shareholders and Trustees of
The Target Portfolio Trust:
 
      We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of The Target Portfolio
Trust
(consisting of the Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Large
Capitalization
Value Portfolio, Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio, Small
Capitalization
Value Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, International Bond
Portfolio,
Total Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio,
Mortgage Backed
Securities Portfolio and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio) as
of December
31, 1995, the related statements of operations for the year then
ended and of
changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our
audits.
 
      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on
a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities
owned as of
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers;
where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing
procedures.
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 audits provide a
reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
      In our opinion, such financial statements and financial
highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of
the
respective portfolios constituting The Target Portfolio Trust as of
December 31,
1995, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets, and
their financial highlights for the periods presented in conformity
with
generally accepted accounting principles.
