Dear Target Shareholder:
"The Greatest Bull Market in History" is what many
are calling it.  And
rightly so.  The current U.S. economic expansion
is now in its seventh year.
Unemployment is the lowest it has been in a
generation. Inflation seems like a
distant memory.  And all of this has brought
growing profits and stable
corporate borrowing costs - an ideal environment
for investors.  Several market
and economic events, including the increase of
short-term interest rates by a
quarter of a percentage point, generated periods
of volatility in the market
over the past six months. However, remarkable
gains prevailed.  Overall, stock
returns at home and abroad flourished.

U.S. bond markets fared well, as the yield on the
bellwether 30-year U.S.
Treasury bond rose slightly from where it finished
at the end of 1996.
Long-term interest rates rose, then fell, ending
ever so slightly higher over
the last six months. Domestic bond yields
stabilized in the second quarter as
bond investors turned bullish due to clear signs
that the first quarter's
surging economic growth had subsided to a moderate
pace of expansion.  In the
international bond markets, emerging market debt
performed the best.

Target shareholders have enjoyed the overall
market prosperity, with almost
all portfolios outperforming or returning in line
with their respective
benchmarks for the six-month period ended June 30,
1997.  No matter what type
of market environment, certain asset classes will
outperform others.  That is
why it makes sense to maintain a proper allocation
in order to be exposed to a
broad range of investments. Target shareholders
also benefited from the
increased diversification and lower volatility
they achieved by investing in
several asset classes.

Target returns are in bold
face 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 future results and an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost.

Stocks Soared, then Fell,
Then Soared Again
The U.S. stock market did not rocket straight up
in the first half of the year.
Stocks actually fell nearly 10% in the spring amid
short-lived fears of higher
interest rates.  Although the Federal Reserve did,
in fact, raise interest
rates (by a quarter of a percentage point) in
March, U.S. stocks recovered in
April amid evidence that rates would not rise
further any time soon. U.S.
stocks again reached new highs by the end of the
first half, with the Dow Jones
Industrial Average finishing at 7672, up 20.1% at
June 30.  Consumer growth
and staple stocks (powered by pharmaceuticals) led
the market, followed by
financials and consumer cyclicals (auto, retail,
and housing stocks that do
well with an expanding economy).

The S&P 500 index, a broader measure of the U.S.
stock market, rose an
impressive 20.6% over the past six months, more
than doubling 1996's first
half returns.  The Russell 2000 index, a proxy for
small company stocks,
gained 10.2% for the first half. And "growth"
stocks have outperformed
"value" stocks so far this year, as they have for
the past three years
according to Lipper Analytical Services.

The first quarter hurt the performance of the
Large Capitalization Growth
Portfolio co-managed by Oak Associates and
Columbus Circle Investors.  The
second quarter, however, showed a vast improvement
for large cap growth stocks.
Oak Associates was well rewarded with its bullish
position on technology.
Technology and healthcare, which were the two
strongest sectors of the market,
were well represented in the Portfolio.  Strong
gains were recorded in
technology holdings such as Microsoft and Cisco

                                        3

Systems, and healthcare holdings such as Pfizer
and Warner Lambert.  Columbus
Circle's relative performance was hurt by its
participation in a diverse group
of consumer stocks which did not include any of
the bigger consumer cyclical
companies. Both co-managers are optimistic about
the technology, healthcare
and financial services sectors in which they are
investing.

The Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, managed
by INVESCO Capital
Management and Hotchkis & Wiley, outperformed
their peers as measured by the
Lipper Growth & Income average for the first half
of the year.  INVESCO
continues to concentrate on consumer staples
companies including beverage and
tobacco companies like Philip Morris Cos. and
financial companies such as
NationsBank Corp., which have demonstrated strong
performance for the period.
Hotchkis & Wiley continues to favor the basic
material and utility sectors,
which it believes will perform well when investors
once again focus on
rational valuation in the market place.

Although the Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio
lagged in the first
quarter, it recovered by finishing up the first
half of the year solidly
outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000
Growth Index, by more than 6%.
IAI drove the portfolio's performance over the six-
month period primarily
because of certain positions it maintained in the
commercial services sector
such as Catalina Marketing and CCC Information
Services.  Nicholas-Applegate,
the Portfolio's co-manager, remains committed to
investing in high-growth
companies. It believes that a focus on fundamental
earnings strength
(evidenced in the second quarter) could cause a
dramatic shift in market
leadership, which would in turn benefit its
portion of the Portfolio. The
holdings in the Portfolio continue to be in well-
managed companies with
powerful, sustainable business models.

Both Lazard Freres and Wood, Struthers & Winthrop,
the co-managers of the Small
Capitalization Value Portfolio, attribute their
strong performance as compared
to the Russell 2000 Value Index, as well as that
of their peers, as measured by
the Lipper Small Cap Average for the six-month
period, to their concentration

                                        4
on technology and consumer services. Their
investments in technology and
consumer services companies like Dallas
Semiconductor Corp. and Tower
Automotive Inc., has proved valuable as these
companies have performed notably
well for the first half of the year.  The managers
attribute their strong
returns to their strict bottom-up value style that
emphasizes a fundamental
research driven process.

Bonds Bounce Back
The bond markets experienced some turbulence over
the past six months.
Long-term interest rates rose, then fell, ending
slightly higher over the last
six months. The first quarter ignited inflationary
concerns that were met by
the Federal Reserve when it raised short-term
interest rates by a quarter of a
percentage point on March 25th.  In the second
quarter, worries dissipated as
data was released showing that inflation remained
remarkably low and economic
growth had slowed considerably from its torrid
first-quarter pace.
Consequently, the Fed left rates unchanged in May
and the markets reacted
favorably.

U.S. bond prices rose as the yield on the 30-year
Treasury Bond ended at 6.78%
in June, slightly ahead of where it left off at
6.74% at the end of December,
1996.  Short-term rates, as measured by the 3-
month U.S. Treasury bill,
actually fell slightly to 5.17%, from 5.19%.  Over
the six-month period, bonds
returned 3.1% as measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index.
Mortgage-backed securities led all investment
grade bonds  for the period.

As the second quarter progressed, market
expectations for any future tightening
were worked out of the term structure of interest
rates. As such, intermediate
maturity Treasury yields, which are the most
sensitive to Fed policy
expectations, fell slightly more than very short
and long-term yields.  Fixed
income performance received a boost as yields on
Treasuries with maturities of
one year and greater fell 0.35% to 0.40%.

Within the bond sector, investment grade corporate
issues moderately topped
Treasuries.  PIMCO, the portfolio manager of both
the Total Return and the
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolios believes that
the extremely positive
inflation fundamentals will continue to

                                         5

cause both a broad decline in U.S. Treasury yields
and interest rates in the coming quarters. Looking
forward, PIMCO has overweighted such sectors as
fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage backed
securities where they believe that strong
performance
will result.

Your Allocation Mainly
Determines Your Returns
         (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: 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.

Mortgage-backed securities strongly outperformed
comparable duration Treasury
issues for the first six months of the year.  The
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Portfolio, managed by Wellington Management
Company narrowly outperformed its
peers, as measured by the Lipper Mortgage Average.
The U.S. Government Money
Market Portfolio, also managed by Wellington
Management performed in line with
its peers, as measured by the Lipper Money Market
average.

International Markets
Rebound
International stocks performed well over the
period with the International
Equity Portfolio outperforming its benchmark, the
Morgan Stanley EAFE Index,
over the past six months. European countries
dominated the EAFE performance
with Switzerland, the Netherlands and Spain
leading the pack, all posting
returns of close to 40% in their local currencies.
However, because of a
strong U.S. dollar, these returns did not
translate as favorably to U.S.
investors.  In addition, several Far East markets,
including Taiwan and Hong
Kong bolstered the overall performance of the EAFE
index.

International stocks generally continued to
underperform U.S. stocks for the
period.  However, positive conditions abroad have
produced strong international
equity returns that have narrowed the gap with the
U.S. equity markets.
Ongoing structural changes abroad bode well for
improving returns.
Deregulation, for example, is accelerating in a
number of foreign countries.
Whether it is the opening up of Europe's
telecommunication and power
industries, "Big Bang" deregulation of the
financial sector in Japan, or
continuing privatization of state owned
enterprises around the globe, the net
effect should be very positive for discerning
international investors.  Lazard
Freres Asset Management, the manager of the
International Equity Portfolio,
believes

                                 6

that over the long term, the consistent
application of identifying
and investing in companies which are both
financially productive and
inexpensive, should continue to result in good
investment returns.

While the international bond markets produced
strong returns, the appreciation
of the U.S. dollar offset much of this advantage.
The International Bond
Portfolio, managed by Fiduciary International,
found the best performing bond
markets in the United Kingdom ("UK"), Australia
and New Zealand. The UK market
soared in response to the incoming Labor
government's decision to defer
responsibility over monetary policy to the Bank of
England. Australia
and New Zealand, which produced the strongest
returns in local currency
terms, benefited from slow growth and falling
inflation which caused their
central banks to cut interest rates. The Manager
has also gradually
increased the Portfolio's exposure to the yen from
very low levels at the
start of the year.

Conclusion:
With the Dow Jones Industrial Average around 8000,
and some analysts now
predicting a Dow of 10,000, it's only natural to
wonder how long all this
good news can continue. While this bull market has
run for seven years now,
it is important to maintain reasonable
expectations in the months and years
to come. Carefully constructed long-term
portfolios are designed to ease
the impact of volatile markets. The ability to
remain with an investment
plan during the inevitable market downturns is
critical to achieving
your long-term investment goals.

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

Sincerely,


Brian M. Storms

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 the
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
common stocks that, in the investment adviser's
opinion, are characterized by a
growth of earnings faster than that of the S&P
500; Large Capitalization Value
Portfolio--total return of capital appreciation
and dividend income through
investment primarily in common stocks that, in the
adviser's opinion, have above
average price appreciation potential; Small
Capitalization Growth
Portfolio--maximum capital appreciation through
investment primarily in common
stocks of 'emerging growth' companies; Small
Capitalization Value
Portfolio--above average capital appreciation
through investment in common
stocks that, in the adviser's opinion, are
undervalued or overlooked in the
marketplace; International Equity Portfolio--
capital appreciation through
investment primarily in common stocks 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 primarily and capital appreciation
secondarily each consistent
with the protection of capital through investment
primarily in mortgage related
securities; U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio-
- -maximum current income
consistent with 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, including accrued interest. If the
seller defaults, and the value
of the collateral declines or, if bankruptcy
proceedings are
- --------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------
                                             53


<PAGE>
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
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
- --------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------
                                             54


<PAGE>
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.
      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, International Bond Portfolio, Total
Return Bond Portfolio and
Intermediate-Term Bond Portfolio was to reclassify
$(4,202,823), $(1,565,469),
$146,229 and $141,653, respectively, of net
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 Investments Fund
Management LLC ('PIFM') pursuant to which PIFM
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. PIFM
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. PIFM 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.
      PIFM 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 PIFM
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
Mortgage Backed Securities Portfolio
had a capital loss carryforward as of December 31,
1996. Accordingly, no capital
gain distributions are expected to be paid to
shareholders of the Mortgage
Backed Securities Portfolio until future net gains
have been realized in excess
of such carryforward. In addition, certain
portfolios are electing to treat net
currency losses incurred in the two month period
ended December 31, 1996 as
having been incurred in the current year.
