Dear Target Shareholder:
It wasn't what anyone expected. That thought sums up the performance of the
financial markets so far this year. Most economists had predicted a slower
economy and lower long-term interest rates. As the year progressed, however,
initial  predictions proved to be inaccurate and, for investors, that meant a
bumpy ride. Payroll employment, consumer spending, and factory orders came in
stronger than expected while the unemployment rate fell and inflation remained
low. Importantly, when predictions are markedly off, prices fluctuate a lot.
Overall, stock returns were in positive territory. Bonds were another story as
prices sunk on normally-positive inflation news. Investors in international
securities and mutual funds also were surprised as a strong U.S. dollar partly
tempered international returns. 


So far in 1996, Target shareholders have fared well, but with less volatility,
since the typical account contains between five and eight portfolios. Certainly,
some portfolios did do better than others but, as usual, no one can predict
which specific investment or portfolio will do best, and there is no assurance
that any portfolio will achieve its financial objective. A proper overall
allocation, importantly, offers you a good opportunity at long-term success.

type. 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

Stocks Posted Modest Gains 
U.S. stocks advanced, and set record highs along the way, as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average finished at 5654, up from 5117 on December 31, 1995. Stocks
and bonds both rallied through much of the first quarter of 1996 as interest
rates fell. Despite a rise in rates starting in February, stocks held their
own and advanced, in contrast to the past few years when stocks and bonds moved
in tandem.

 Note:  The average annual return for the Target Portfolios assumes the
        imposition of the maximum Target advisory fee of 1.5% for stock
        portfolios and 1.00% for the bond portfolios.

* The inception date for all portfolios is 1/5/93, except for International
  Bond, which is 5/16/94. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The S&P 500 returned 10.2% year-to-date and 26.1% for the past 12 months. While
those are clearly strong numbers, the trend is off 1995's pace. The Russell
2000, a proxy for small company stocks, rose 10.3% year-to-date and 23.9% for
12 months, again off 1995's mark. In terms of sectors, one of 1995's hottest,
biotechnology, is down for the year and lost 7% in the first quarter alone,
according to Dow Jones.

"Growth" stocks, for large and small caps, markedly beat their "value" brethren
for the same periods, though at the cost of more volatility, according to the
Frank Russell Company. In contrast, in 1992 and 1993, the value style was the
winner. Many recent high-flying funds use a growth style, though both styles
are well regarded. Having exposure to both styles often is a prudent course of
action and can help you limit volatility. Target offers both growth and value
philosophies through the large cap and small cap portfolios.  For the most part,
Target's portfolios have done well this year. Our portfolios are well
diversified within a broad category and are designed to work within an asset
allocation framework.
                                     3

The Target Large Cap Value Portfolio rose 8.1%, beating its benchmark, the
Russell 1000 Value Index. One co-manager, INVESCO, benefitted from an emphasis
on financial and consumer staple issues, such as beverage and tobacco companies.
The portfolio's other co-manager, Hotchkis & Wiley, also favored financials,
though as a yield-oriented firm, they especially emphasized the utility and
basic industry sectors. Importantly, "pricey" issues like technology shares
currently, are rarely found in value portfolios. These issues often are found,
however, in growth portfolios like Target's Large Cap Growth and Small Cap
Growth Portfolios. For example, the Large Cap Growth Portfolio currently holds
a 36% stake in technology shares (computers, software, and semiconductors) in
addition to a 6% stake in financial services. The Small Cap Growth Portfolio has
a more modest exposure to technology (20%), but more substantial exposure to the
business and consumer service sectors. Nicholas-Applegate and IAI manage
that portfolio.


Bond Prices Were Volatile and Generally Down
Yields started the year where they left off 1995: falling. The yield on the
benchmark 30-year Treasury bond broke through 6% and almost into record
territory. In late February, however, yields started to rise sharply as the
economy never seemed to slow down as expected. The big surprise were the
employment numbers, which came in substantially ahead of projections. As
usual, this type of news caused inflation fears to increase. Consequently, the
30-year bond's yield rose to about 6.9% by June 30, 1996 and down only slightly
from a spring high of more than 7%.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index fell just over 1.2% for the first six
months (coupon income plus price change), with prices of long maturity issues
suffering the most. Intermediate-term issues (three-to ten-year maturities) did
better. Overall, government issues were bettered by corporates and mortgages.

company which, recently, have improved. High yield issues, in particular,
posted more pronounced gains, as they moved partly in concert with stocks.

The advisory line-up for Target's bond portfolios includes Wellington, PIMCO,
and Fiduciary International. These are active, institutional managers who seek
to provide added value by analyzing the yield curve, credit, and sector
opportunities in the bond markets. Currency and country considerations also
apply to the International Bond Portfolio.

The Total Return and Intermediate Term Portfolios, managed by PIMCO, beat their
Lehman Brothers benchmarks and their Lipper averages. The Mortgage-Backed
Securities Portfolio also is having another strong year. According to Lipper,
that portfolio, run by Wellington, returned six percentage points more than the
typical mortgage fund for the past three years. That is no small feat, as bond
fund returns normally are in a narrow range. Wellington also manages our U.S.
Government Money Market Portfolio, which also has done well since inception.

International Returns Were Modest

International Stocks: Predictions for international stocks to lead the way
also were off-base due, mainly, to a stronger dollar. In dollar terms, U.S.
stocks led most major markets by wide margins, including Japan, Canada, Germany,
and Great Britain. In local currency terms, however, the U.S. was only 19th best
of the 29 markets in the Dow Jones World Stock Index. Year-to-date, some bright
spots, in dollar terms, have been the Taiwanese (31.6%) and Philippine (29.0%)
markets.

The Morgan Stanley EAFE Index rose 4.7% for the year to date and 13.6% for the
past 12 months. This year is continuing 1995's trend of modest returns when
compared to U.S. results. The EAFE is dominated by Japanese issues, and Japan
has lagged most other major markets. Factoring in a stronger U.S. dollar versus
the Yen, U.S. investors barely posted a gain in Japanese issues, according to
Dow Jones. Of the other major markets, only Great Britain posted low returns
(1.9% in dollar terms) similar to Japan's. On the

                                          5
<PAGE>

bright side, valuations seem more modest and greater numbers of European
managements are taking the U.S.'s lead and are restructuring their businesses
to improve profits.  Historically, this has been an infrequent approach
overseas.

Target's International Equity Portfolio is having a strong year (8.2%) and is
beating both the EAFE (4.7%) and the Lipper International Fund average (8.0%).
At mid-year, the Portfolio's largest country allocations were Japan (26.9%) and
Great Britain (15.6%). Specific securities in these markets are attractively
priced according to the adviser, Lazard Frares, despite those markets having
underperformed. Lazard is known as a bottom-up manager and seeks to add value,
in part, through superior security selection. Scandinavian and European
countries comprise much of the rest of the Portfolio.

International Bonds: It has been a rough year for international bonds as rates
generally have risen around the world. The benchmark is the Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, which fell -1.30% this year. The dollar's
strength hurt returns for U.S. investors even more. The strongest markets were
found in the "peripheral" European markets, such as Italy, Sweden, and Spain,
and not in the German, French, or U.K. markets. Farther east, the Japanese
market has done modestly well and comprises the largest country allocation in
the index.

The Target International Bond Portfolio now is underweighted in the Japanese
and core European markets (Germany, France, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, and
Austria). The adviser is emphasizing the Dollar Bloc countries such as Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand compared to the Salomon Brothers index. The
portfolio is managed by Fiduciary International.

Your Allocation Mainly
Determines Your Returns 

        (CHART)

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: corporates, Treasurys, small caps, large caps,
foreign, etc. Asset allocation is important because, 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.

Conclusion:
The Outlook Remains Positive
"Few people expect stocks to advance in 1996 like they did in 1995, but
generally, people are optimistic." That quote is from your 1995 annual report
and, as it turned out, was right on the mark. "For bonds, the consensus call
is for slightly lower rates along the entire yield curve by year-end." That
quote, however, is also from the annual report and, so far, is off the mark.
These statements serve as a reminder that predicting the short-term movements
of the financial markets can be extremely difficult. More importantly for most
investors is the ability to structure an appropriate allocation that reflects
their return requirements and risk tolerance. That's one of the major services
that Target provides to you.

Despite recent volatility in absolute terms (such as a 100 point one-day drop
in the Dow), the market has not fallen more than 10% from a mid-year high in
nearly six years, judging by the S&P 500. In contrast, it fell by 20%, or more,
29 times this century! As a result, as we concluded your last report, 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?" The prudent, long-term investor will use the techniques
of diversification and asset allocation to his advantage. While there are no
assurances that you'll 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 Redeker, President

Co-Investment Adviser:
Oak Associates

It's Not Only the Return
The goal of the Target program is to help you construct an overall portfolio
that reflects your personal situation: the return you seek and the risk you're
willing to take. That means service is as important as competitive returns.

One important service that Target provides is to review your investment
advisers. Advisers are replaced when they underperform for an extended period
or change investment philosophies. Target replaced an adviser to the Small Cap
Value Portfolio last April. In November, we made another change as Oak
Associates joined the Large Cap Growth Portfolio, replacing Roger Engemann
Management Company, Inc. The following is an overview of Oak's investment
approach.

Oak Associates is based in Akron, Ohio and specializes in large company growth
stocks. Oak was founded in 1985, though the main investment professionals have
worked together for 20 years. As of December 1995, Oak managed more than $3
billion for institutional clients such as pension plans, endowments, and
municipalities. The firm's minimum account size is $400,000.

They follow a strict growth discipline that is distinguished by a willingness
to make large sector allocations. Subject to Target's investment restrictions,
Oak may take large positions in certain securities and sectors and this ability
may subject the Portfolio to high volatility at times. Importantly, however,
this approach has yielded superior long-term results that more than offset any
short-term losses.* Past performance, though, is no guarantee of future results.

Oak's investment style is fairly unique. They start with a "top-down" global
macro-economic analysis. They define trends and themes and then, in "bottom-up"
fashion, seek a few strong stocks to focus on. Interest rate and inflation
expectations are key considerations. Since they use a long-term outlook,
turnover is relatively low and they tend to let their winners run. This can
lead to some positions becoming large portions of a portfolio. Oak does not
strategically under- or over-weight sectors versus a specific index. Instead,
they invest heavily in attractive sectors and completely avoid those that they
believe are less attractive.

               THE TARGET PORTFOLIO TRUST
               Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
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

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,
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                             50
 
<PAGE>
 
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.
 
      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 period, 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
froms changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the fiscal
period. 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 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 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 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.
      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 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
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                             51
 
<PAGE>
 
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: Effective January 1, 1996, the Portfolios discontinued 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.
The following balances of undistributed net investment income at December 31,
1995, resulting from equalization, were transferred to paid-in capital in excess
of par.
 
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
 
      Such reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results of
operations, or net asset value per share.
 
      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 International Equity
Portfolio, Total Return Bond Portfolio, Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio and
International Bond Portfolio, was to reclassify ($31,853), ($384,722),
($866,034) and ($999,939), respectively, of foreign currency gains (losses) to
undistributed net investment income from accumulated net realized gains
(losses). 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

                                             52

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.

      For federal income tax purposes, the Small Capitalization Value and
Mortgage Backed Securities portfolios had capital loss carryforwards as of
December 31, 1995. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to
be
paid to shareholders of these portfolios until future net gains have been
realized in excess of such carryforwards. In addition, certain portfolios are
electing to treat net currency losses incurred in the two month period ended
December 31, 1995 as having been incurred in the current year.
