Dear Target Shareholder:
The pace of economic growth slowed in the second quarter of
1998 after its
sharp acceleration early in the year led to a buildup of
inventories. We
expect slower growth to continue over the second half of the
year as those
inventories are drawn down; net imports increase "because of
the deepening
economic troubles in Asia" and greater unused industrial
capacity slows
business investment.

However, inflation has been subdued so far this year and we
expect it to
remain so. Although profits have been declining in many
industries, we believe
they will be squeezed further rather than lead to price
increases. Our
economists think the Federal Reserve will strike a "wait-and-
see" stance on
interest rates. Although the Fed has shown a bias toward
raising rates, the
strong dollar and widening trade gap have prevented any
action in that
direction thus far. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew during
the first half of
the year, slowing from 5.6% to 1.4% from the first to second
quarter. Such
slowing growth takes pressure off the Fed to raise rates,
which would have
been difficult in any case because of its effect on Asian
economies and the
U.S. balance of trade.

The U.S. stock market paused for breath during the second
quarter of 1998. The
3.3% increase in the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 was
slightly above average,
historically speaking, for the quarter, though well below
many quarters of the
past three years. Overseas stock markets also slowed.

Although Continental European markets gained, U.K. stocks
and the markets in
Asia and Latin America declined. That prompted many
investors to shift their
assets into more secure harbors, such as Wall Street, which
exacerbated the
declines overseas.

The U.S. government securities market likewise benefited
from a flight to
quality. In June, when the yen tumbled to an eight-year low
against the U.S.
dollar, demand for U.S. Treasuries soared, driving the 30-
year Treasury bond
yield to its lowest level since regular sales of the
securities began in 1977.
Among other fixed-income instruments, corporate bonds
performed well; global
bonds provided a solid return as the Euromarket benefited
from a similar
flight to quality, but emerging markets posted a negative
return.

Target shareholders continue to benefit from the advantages
of maintaining a
diversified portfolio through a customized and comprehensive
investment
program. Most of the Target portfolios produced returns that
were either ahead
of or competitive with their benchmarks during the reporting
period. It is
important to remember that given the current volatile
investment environment,
maintaining a portfolio diversified across a variety of
asset classes is key
to achieving your long-term investment goals.

U.S. Stocks Surge
The flow of cash into the U.S. stock market remained strong
during the first
half of 1998 with larger stocks benefiting more than smaller
issues and growth
investments outperforming value. In an apparent nod to high
quality, stable
growth companies, investors favored larger-cap growth
stocks. Sectors
benefiting from this pattern included technology, health
care, and
consumer-related stocks including consumer cyclicals (stocks
which perform
well as an economy grows), and consumer staples. Among the
strongest industries
were computer networking, computer software, medical
products, pharmaceuticals
and specialty apparel. A central theme in the companies that
performed well was
a lack of exposure to Asian economies plus strong domestic
growth and demand
for their products.

The Large Capitalization Growth Portfolio, co-managed by Oak
Associates and
Columbus Circle Investors, returned 25.55% for the reporting
period. The
Portfolio was overweighted in technology, consumer staples
and consumer
cyclicals. Excellent returns were recorded by America Online
(+53.9%), Cisco
Systems (+34.6%), Lucent Technologies (+30.1%), Warner
Lambert (+22.5%),
Schering Plough (+12.4%), TCI Group (+23.6%), McDonald's
(+15.2%) and Capital
One Financial (+57.6%).

Going forward, Columbus Circle will continue its search for
improving companies
that are likely to exceed investor expectations. They will
also continue their
focus on companies with limited Asian exposure that continue
to see solid
growth in their domestic business.

The Large Capitalization Value Portfolio, co-managed by
INVESCO and Hotchkis &
Wiley, returned 9.01% for the reporting period. The second
quarter was a
difficult one for diversified value investors to outperform
the S&P 500 Index.
Three market sectors performed particularly well -- health
care, technology,
and consumer durables -- but Hotchkis & Wiley only had their
portion of the
portfolio significantly weighted in the latter sector. In
their part of the
portfolio, INVESCO had significant weightings in health care
and technology,
but realized mixed results. They continued to take profits
in their
pharmaceutical holdings. Their weighting in technology
issues suffered because
they didn't own the biggest-
                                            4
<PAGE>

capitalization stocks. The Portfolio's financial issues --
its heaviest
weighting -- turned in positive results for Hotchkis &
Wiley, but were neutral
for INVESCO. Both managers believe valuations for the
broader market are
reasonable given the level of interest rates, though the
threat of weak
profits makes selectivity that much more important.

The Small Capitalization Growth Portfolio, co-managed by
Investment Advisers,
Inc. (IAI) and Nicholas Applegate, returned 10.76% for the
reporting period.
Following a strong performance in the first quarter, small-
cap growth stocks
cooled in the second. Virtually all sectors were down with
energy stocks
posting the worst results (-17.5%) for the second quarter.
Communications
services enhanced portfolio returns largely due to the
performance of
Centennial Cellular, a Connecticut-based wireless carrier.

IAI increased their exposure to consumer cyclicals, consumer
staples, and
health care. Energy stocks were also attractively valued,
and they added
positions there. Going forward, IAI believes their part of
the portfolio is
well positioned with fast growing companies in
extraordinarily strong
competitive positions.

The Small Capitalization Value Portfolio, co-managed by
Lazard Asset Management
and Wood, Struthers & Winthrop returned 2.06% for the
reporting period. Lazard
Asset Management and Wood, Struthers & Winthrop noted that
stocks in the
consumer discretionary sector were among their best
performers as consumer
confidence reached a 29-year high. Technology stocks were
among their worst
performers due to slackening Asian demand and plunging
prices.

Retailers performed especially well, benefiting from
domestic sales and cheap
Asian-made goods. Footstar, a leading retailer of athletic
footwear, generated
strong returns, and Ann Taylor, which focuses on women's
apparel, also
performed well due to increased sales and better-than-
expected first quarter
earnings. Lazard recently bought two new holdings in the
services sector. They
believe that Hughes Supply Inc., a wholesale distributor of
construction
equipment and supplies, should benefit from its sound
management team and the
strong commercial construction market, and recent
acquisitions will drive
top-line revenue. Their second new services

                                        5

<PAGE>

position was Budget Group Inc., a worldwide car and truck
rental company.
Budget's new ownership structure is focused on maximizing
shareholder value
and improving asset usage.

International Equities
The International Equity Portfolio, managed by Lazard Asset
Management,
returned 18.65% for the reporting period. Our return
outpaced the MSCI EAFE
index during the second quarter. EAFE rose 1.1% as Europe's
5.1% gain was
tempered by continued weakness in Asia. Year-to-date, the
Portfolio returned
nearly 19% against EAFE's 15.9% gain.

European stock prices rose as companies shed their non-core
businesses and
bolstered their main operations through mergers and
acquisitions. Such change
hit every industry, but none was bigger than Daimler-Benz's
surprise
acquisition of Chrysler in the largest industrial takeover
in history. Then,
DaimlerChrysler began talks to extend its reach with a stake
in Nissan Diesel,
Japan's fourth-largest truck maker. Alcatel of France
acquired DSC
Communications in the U.S.

In consumer electronics, Philips Electronics of the
Netherlands continued its
own restructuring by selling its unrelated PolyGram music
and film business to
Seagrams of Canada, which owns Universal Studios. And the
Dutch group KPN
split its disparate telecommunication and postal services,
leaving it as a
focused telecom company in a deregulating industry.

Bonds Show Their Strength
As conditions in Asia deteriorated during the second
quarter, and Japan slipped
into recession, investors resumed their flight to U.S.
Treasury securities,
which are considered to be among the world's safest
investments. When the yen
tumbled to an eight-year low against the U.S. dollar, demand
for Treasuries
soared and drove down the yield of the 30-year Treasury to
its lowest level
since the regular sale of the securities began in 1977.

Separately, the Treasury Department announced plans to meet
the government's
reduced borrowing needs by eliminating sales of three-year
notes and cutting
the frequency of its five-year note auctions to quarterly
from monthly.
Prospects of lower supply fueled the buying of Treasuries.
Consequently, U.S.
government securities were the best performing bonds, as
measured by the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index.

Your Allocation Mainly Determines Your Returns
Based on a study of 82 large pension funds.

      (CHART)

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,
Treasuries, 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,
studies have shown
that 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 rally in Treasury securities may not have run its
course. Should the yield
of the 30-year Treasury slip below the psychologically
important level of
5.50%, it could tumble further.

Corporate bonds performed well even though a flood of new
debt securities drew
weak investor demand late in the second quarter. The sharp
drop in yields
prompted many corporations to come to market, attracted by
the lower borrowing
costs.

The Total Return Bond and the Intermediate-Term Bond
portfolios, both managed
by PIMCO, returned 3.79% and 3.02% respectively for the
reporting period.
Treasuries outperformed mortgages and corporate issues. At
the same time, the
yield curve flattened, with long rates dropping sharply and
short-to-
intermediate rates declining modestly. Although most
mortgage-backed
securities lagged Treasuries, the portfolios' lower-coupon
issues matched or
exceeded returns on Treasuries. Exposure to below-investment-
grade bonds
detracted from returns as lower-rated credits suffered from
an uncertain
corporate earnings outlook and increased supply.

PIMCO believes consumer spending will propel the domestic
economy forward, but
the impact of Asia will prevent overheating and a resurgence
of inflation.

The International Bond portfolio, managed by Delaware
International Advisers,
returned 0.80% for the reporting period. It has been yet
another solid quarter
for international bonds, with remarkably uniform
performance: no major market
returned less than 1.5% in local currency terms, and only
the U.S. and Sweden
were over 2%. The dollar was flat on average, but currencies
exposed to Asian
and commodity market concerns were weak, and as a result
Japan, Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand delivered negative returns in U.S.
dollar terms.

In contrast, European currency strength boosted the region's
returns above 4%.
While the past quarter has been better than expected,
Delaware International
Advisers remains cautious. Having said that, they believe
there are now big
differences in value in different markets. Australia and New
Zealand have been
badly hit by Asian currency problems, but these markets
still offer exceptional
relative value. The Portfolio's performance was hindered by
its position in the
region, but benefited from its

                                     7

<PAGE>

limited exposure to the Japanese yen.

Delaware's strategy is to continue to underweight the
fundamentally overvalued
Japanese market while maintaining an index weighting in
Europe.

There is also a selective overweight in attractively valued
dollar-based
markets. The Portfolio duration is defensive and moderately
short of the
index.

The Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio, managed by
Wellington Management,
returned 3.19% for the reporting period. Wellington is
maintaining a moderately
longer than neutral duration and is focusing on purchasing
high quality
mortgage securities. Due to both quarter-end pressures and
the long bond
breaking through 6.00%, most investors indiscriminately sold
seasoned
pass-through mortgages. This enabled Wellington to buy high
quality securities
at attractive prices as the quarter ended.

And the U.S. Government Money Market Portfolio is likewise
aiming to keep its
average maturity in a neutral position. To maintain its high
liquidity,
Wellington Management buys shorter term securities, and as
rates back up,
looks to purchase longer dated securities at attractive
prices.

Looking Ahead
Financial markets have been unsettled, amid concern about
the slowing pace of
U.S. economic growth, mixed reports on corporate earnings
growth, and the
gradual spread of the impact of Asia's recession.  On the
other hand, our
economy continues to grow at a moderate rate that will not
likely reignite our
dormant inflation. It is important to remember that
investors' asset allocation
should be determined by their short- and long-term needs and
by their risk
tolerance, not by changing market conditions. A good
investment plan takes
into account the normal fluctuations in financial markets,
and deviations from
the plan's discipline are usually counter-productive.

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

Sincerely,

Brian M. Storms, President

               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 sixty 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 sixty 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
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

- ------------------------------------------------------------

                                             51


<PAGE>
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.
      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
from 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 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 American
Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (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 $(4,906,872), $(496,389), $(18,421) and
$165,618,
respectively, of net foreign currency gains/losses to
undistributed
(overdistribution) net investment income from accumulated
net realized gains
(losses).
      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 tax-paying 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.
