Investment Adviser’s Report – Command Money Fund Prudential Investment Management, Inc.
Money markets faced lingering low interest rates
During COMMAND Money Fund’s fiscal year that began July 1, 2003, interest rates on money market securities lingered at low levels until late in the reporting period. At that time they turned moderately higher because economic data raised expectations in the financial markets that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) would soon increase short-term interest rates. The U.S. job market had finally begun to strengthen along with the rest of the economy, and inflation had picked up. In an effort to scale back monetary stimulus in the economy, the Fed increased its target for the federal funds rate—the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans—by a quarter point to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.
Despite the generally low level of interest rates, COMMAND Money Fund provided a competitive yield, and its net asset value (NAV) remained at $1 per share throughout its fiscal year. We believe COMMAND Money Fund benefited from our efforts to maintain a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term debt securities of federal agencies, banks, and corporations. Our strategy also prepared COMMAND Money Fund to accommodate an outflow of assets that began in late 2003 associated with the integration of the former Prudential Securities brokerage business with Wachovia Securities, LLC. This process should be completed in September 2004.
Evaluating investment opportunities in a challenging market
Through comparative analysis of different sectors of money market securities, we identified attractive investment opportunities, including certain federal agency discount notes. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise that buys mortgages and packages them into mortgage-backed securities, restated its earnings in the summer of 2003 because of accounting irregularities, resulting in an increase in earnings. Because of this news, Freddie Mac notes cheapened in relation to comparable corporate debt securities. This partly reflected uncertainty about how Freddie Mac and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) would be regulated in the future to prevent such problems from recurring. We capitalized on this window of opportunity by purchasing unsecured Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae discount notes, which provided incremental yield that benefited COMMAND Money Fund.
In the autumn of 2003 we adjusted our strategy by selling some of the longer-term money market securities held by COMMAND Money Fund and purchasing securities with shorter maturity dates. This helped provide the flexibility needed to meet the aforementioned outflow of assets that started around that time. The calendar year that began in 2004 brought opportunities to invest in attractively priced money market
securities in the three- to five-month maturity range. However, as 2004 continued, we increasingly emphasized shorter-term securities to meet the ongoing and anticipated withdrawals from COMMAND Money Fund.

Long wait for a U.S. short-term interest-rate hike
Interest rates on money market securities hovered at low levels for most of COMMAND Government Fund’s fiscal year that began July 1, 2003. This occurred as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) initially left short-term interest rates at historic lows to support the U.S. economy, which at that time was creating few new jobs. However, money market yields rose late in the reporting period after an improving job market and a moderate pick-up in inflation suggested that the Fed would soon tighten monetary policy in an effort to lessen monetary stimulus in the economy. The widely anticipated increase occurred on June 30, 2004. The target for the federal funds rate—the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans—was raised a quarter point to 1.25%.
Throughout its fiscal year that ended June 30, 2004, COMMAND Government Fund provided a competitive yield, and its net asset value (NAV) remained at $1 per share. We believe COMMAND Government Fund benefited from our investment strategy aimed at enhancing its yield in the low-interest-rate environment. Our strategy also prepared COMMAND Government Fund to accommodate an outflow of assets that began in late 2003 associated with the integration of the former Prudential Securities brokerage business with Wachovia Securities, LLC. This process should be completed in September 2004.
Finding attractive value amid federal agency securities
By comparing different sectors of money market securities, we determined that certain federal agency discount notes represented an attractive investment opportunity. For example, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise that buys mortgages and packages them into mortgage-backed securities, restated its earnings in the summer of 2003 because of accounting irregularities, resulting in an increase in earnings. Because of this news, Freddie Mac notes cheapened in relation to comparable corporate debt securities. This partly reflected uncertainty about how Freddie Mac and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) would be regulated in the future to prevent such problems from recurring. We capitalized on this window of opportunity by purchasing unsecured Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae discount notes, which provided incremental yield that benefited COMMAND Government Fund.
In the autumn of 2003 we adjusted our strategy by selling some of the longer-term money market securities held by COMMAND Government Fund and purchasing securities with shorter maturity dates. This helped provide the flexibility needed to meet the aforementioned outflow of assets that started around that time.
The calendar year that began in 2004 brought additional attractive investment opportunities in federal agency notes. These notes were scheduled to mature in 13 months but could be retired early (called) by their respective issuers in three months. The callable notes featured relatively attractive yields to compensate investors for this early maturity option. Some federal agency notes held by COMMAND Government Fund were called while others were not. Those notes that were called still benefited COMMAND Government Fund by providing incremental yield during the time they were held in the portfolio.
As the reporting period drew to a close, we increasingly emphasized money market securities due in three months or less along with repurchase agreements, an alternative type of short-term investment. Focusing on shorter-term securities was necessary to meet the ongoing and anticipated withdrawals from COMMAND Government Fund.
Investment Adviser’s Report – Command Tax-Free Fund Prudential Investment Management, Inc.
Maintaining our conservative investment strategy
Money market funds that invest in municipal securities provide a viable short-term investment alternative amid volatile financial markets. However, during the 12-month period that began July 1, 2003, investors in tax-exempt money market securities had to contend with historically low interest rates and lingering concerns about the financial health of many state and local governments. The municipal authorities continued to face budgetary problems even as an economic recovery took hold in the United States.
In light of these circumstances, our strategy was designed to enhance COMMAND Tax-Free Fund’s yield by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, short-term municipal debt securities. We believe our conservative approach helped COMMAND Tax-Free Fund provide a competitive yield and maintain its net asset value (NAV) at $1 per share throughout its fiscal year. Our strategy also helped prepare COMMAND Tax-Free Fund to accommodate an outflow of assets that began in late 2003 associated with the integration of the former Prudential Securities brokerage business with Wachovia Securities, LLC. This process should be completed in September 2004.
Riding out the “July effect”; finding good value in “put” bonds
When COMMAND Tax-Free Fund’s fiscal year began, a seasonal decline in yields known as the “July effect” occurred as investors quickly reinvested cash from coupon payments, bond calls, and maturing bonds that they received the first week of July. We had prepared COMMAND Tax-Free Fund to ride out this period by investing in longer-term municipal money market securities earlier in the year. As the summer of 2003 continued, we purchased so-called “put” bonds. These bonds provide attractive fixed interest rates for one year, at which time investors put (turn in) the bonds to their respective issuers and receive par plus accrued interest. In addition, we purchased one-year put bonds whose rates were adjusted on a monthly basis, enabling them to benefit from any interest-rate increases.
Our focus on tax-exempt commercial paper (TECP)
Our strategy shifted in the autumn of 2003. We began to emphasize TECP that matured in 30 to 60 days. This helped provide COMMAND Tax-Free Fund with flexibility to meet the aforementioned outflow of assets that started around this time. It also enabled COMMAND Tax-Free Fund to meet the increased liquidity needs that typically occur near year-end when shareholders need money for holiday expenditures.
As we approached the calendar year-end, we invested in longer-term municipal money market securities to help prepare COMMAND Tax-Free Fund to ride out the “January” effect, another seasonal decline in yields that typically occurs the first week of January for the same reasons as the July effect. Meanwhile, we avoided investing in general obligation notes of some state and local governments due to the previously mentioned concerns about their financial health.
In 2004 interest rates on money market securities initially continued to hover at low levels. This reflected financial markets’ expectation that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) would leave short-term interest rates unchanged to support the U.S. economy, which at that time was creating few new jobs. However, municipal money market yields began to climb late in the reporting period after improvement in the job market and a moderate pick-up in inflation suggested that the Fed would soon tighten monetary policy. Yields also climbed during income tax season as investors sold money market shares to pay their income tax liabilities. The widely anticipated rate hike occurred on June 30, 2004. The target for the federal funds rate—the interest rate banks charge each other for overnight loans—was raised a quarter point to 1.25%. As the reporting period drew to a close, we increasingly emphasized shorter-term municipal money market securities to meet the ongoing and anticipated withdrawals from COMMAND Tax-Free Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of COMMAND Money Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the COMMAND Money Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2004, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ending June 30, 2003 and the financial highlights for the periods presented prior to July 1, 2003, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated, August 18, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the COMMAND Money Fund as of June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of COMMAND Government Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the COMMAND Government Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2004, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ending June 30, 2003 and the financial highlights for the periods presented prior to July 1, 2003, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated, August 18, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the COMMAND Government Fund as of June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of COMMAND Tax-Free Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the COMMAND Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2004, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ending June 30, 2003 and the financial highlights for the periods presented prior to July 1, 2003, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated, August 18, 2003, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the COMMAND Tax-Free Fund as of June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
COMMAND Money Fund, COMMAND Government Fund and COMMAND Tax-Free Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company whose shares are offered to holders of certain securities accounts held at designated broker-dealers that offer a sweep feature, including basic securities accounts and COMMAND, COMMAND Plus and BusinessEdge Accounts offered through Wachovia Securities LLC or Pruco Securities Corporation. The COMMAND Money Fund seeks high current income, preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in a diversified portfolio of money market instruments maturing in 13 months or less. The COMMAND Government Fund seeks high current income, preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in a portfolio of U.S. government securities maturing in 13 months or less. The COMMAND Tax-Free Fund seeks high current income that is exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of short-term, tax-exempt securities with maturities of 13 months or less that are issued by states, municipalities and their agencies (or authorities). Some securities may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Funds invest in a portfolio of money market instruments whose ratings are within the two highest ratings categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency or, if not rated, are of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and/or political developments in a specific industry, state or region.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant generally accepted accounting principles followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities of the Funds 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 any discount or premium. If the amortized cost method is determined not to represent fair value, the fair value shall be determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
Restricted Securities: The Funds may hold up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). The restricted securities held by COMMAND Money Fund and COMMAND Tax-Free Fund at June 30, 2004 do not include registration rights under which the Funds may demand registration by the issuer. Restricted securities, sometimes referred to as private placements, are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.
Notes to Financial Statements
Cont’d
Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, with United States Financial Institutions, it is the Funds’ policy that the custodian or
designated subcustodians, under triparty repurchase agreements, as the case may be, take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase agreement exceeds one business day, the value of collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize premiums and accrete discounts on the purchase of portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Each Fund declares daily dividends from net investment income and net realized short-term capital gains or losses. Payment of dividends is made monthly. 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 taxes purposes, each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is each Fund’s policy 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 and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Custody Fee Credits: The COMMAND Tax-Free Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Agreements
Each Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of each Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the compensation of officers of the Funds, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Funds. The Funds bear all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly based on the following annual rates:
| | | | | | |
Average Daily Net Assets
| | COMMAND Money
| | COMMAND Government
| | COMMAND Tax-Free
|
| | |
First $500 million | | .500% | | .400% | | .500% |
Second $500 million | | .425% | | .400% | | .425% |
Third $500 million | | .375% | | .375% | | .375% |
Excess of $1.5 billion | | .350% | | .375% | | .375% |
Each Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as the distributor of the shares of each Fund. Each Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing each Fund’s shares pursuant to the plan of distribution regardless of expenses actually incurred, at an annual rate of .125 of 1% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s shares. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly.
PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Funds’ transfer agent. During the year ended June 30, 2004 the Funds incurred fees for the services of PMFS of approximately:
| | | |
COMMAND Money | | $ | 3,957,500 |
COMMAND Government | | $ | 118,800 |
COMMAND Tax-Free | | $ | 177,200 |
Notes to Financial Statements
Cont’d
As of June 30, 2004 the following approximate amounts were due to PMFS from the Funds:
| | | |
COMMAND Money | | $ | 181,000 |
COMMAND Government | | $ | 5,800 |
COMMAND Tax-Free | | $ | 13,700 |
Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations also include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to nonaffiliates, when applicable.
Note 4. Joint Repurchase Agreement Account
The COMMAND Government Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, transfers uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. At June 30, 2004, the Fund had an undivided interest of 54.93% in the repurchase agreements in the joint account. The undivided interest for the Fund represented $23,663,000 in principal amount and the value of the collateral therefore was as follows:
Greenwich Capital, 1.60% in the principal amount of $14,360,000, repurchase price $14,360,638, due 7/1/04. The value of the collateral was $14,647,734.
Merrill Lynch, 1.60% in the principal amount of $14,360,000, repurchase price $14,360,638, due 7/1/04. The value of the collateral including accrued interest was $14,648,853.
UBS Securities LLC, 1.60% in the principal amount of $14,360,000, repurchase price $14,360,639, due 7/1/04. The value of the collateral was $14,648,556.
Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information
For the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, the tax character of dividends paid, as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and in the table below, was ordinary income:
| | | | | | |
| | Year Ended June 30,
|
| | 2004
| | 2003
|
COMMAND Money | | $ | 52,082,628 | | $ | 149,623,728 |
COMMAND Government | | $ | 3,521,217 | | $ | 10,096,945 |
| | |
48 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
For the years ended June 30, 2004, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for COMMAND Tax-Free Fund was $8,757,331 and $905,905 tax exempt income and ordinary income, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2003, the tax character of dividends paid was $16,070,651 of tax-exempt income.
As of June 30, 2004, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis were $278,286 of ordinary income (including a timing difference of $229,585 for dividends payable) for COMMAND Money Fund, $92,945 of ordinary income (includes a timing difference of $29,627 for dividends payable) for COMMAND Government Fund, and $121,912 of tax-exempt income (includes a timing difference of $73,738 for dividends payable) for COMMAND Tax-Free Fund.
Note 6. Capital
The Funds offer Class A shares. The Funds may also offer Class Z and Class S shares (COMMAND Tax-Free Fund may only offer Class S). There are no Class Z or Class S shares currently issued and outstanding.
Note 7. Change in Independent Auditors
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was previously the independent auditors for the Funds. The decision to change the independent auditors was approved by the Audit Committee and by the Board of Trustees in a meeting held on September 2, 2003, resulting in KPMG LLP’s appointment as independent auditors of the Funds.
The reports on the financial statements of the Funds audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP through the year ended June 30, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope of accounting principles. There were no disagreements between the Funds and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
Note 8. Subsequent Event
The Funds historically have served as sweep vehicles of an affiliated broker/dealer. During fiscal year 2003, the Funds were notified that they would no longer be utilized in such a manner. Consequently, Fund assets will likely decline over time.
On July 19, 2004, the Board of Trustees of the Funds approved the declaration of the return of capital final distribution in the amount of $1.00 per share, representing the distribution of all the capital of the Funds, such return of capital final distribution to be paid to all shareholders of record as of September 24, 2004. The Funds will be closed to new purchases on September 10, 2004.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants
The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
| • | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
| • | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
| • | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services
The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| • | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| • | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | Accounting consultations |
| • | Fund merger support services |
| • | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| • | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |

| • | Sales and use tax compliance |
| • | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| • | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| • | Tax authority examination services |
| • | Tax appeals support services |
| • | Accounting methods studies |
| • | Fund merger support services |
| • | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Other Non-audit Services
Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Proscribed Services
The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
| • | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund |
| • | Financial information systems design and implementation |
| • | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports |
| • | Internal audit outsourcing services |
| • | Management functions or human resources |
| • | Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services |
| • | Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit |
| • | Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible. |
Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex
Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.
