| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Equity Market Overview
US and international stock markets posted stellar returns in 2019 as many central banks, including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), cut interest rates or used other stimuli to spur growth. Although the markets fluctuated sharply at times in reaction to on-again-off-again trade tensions between the US and China, concerns about tariffs subsided later in the year.
In the US, the broad-based S&P 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index returned 31.46% and 31.02%, respectively, for the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 21.51%. (All returns cited are in US dollars and include dividends.)
Global economic growth slowed, central banks cut rates
During 2019, the pace of global growth slowed and concerns about the economic outlook rose due in part to uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs and other geopolitical factors, which created a drag on manufacturing and export activity. Many central banks responded by loosening monetary policy — in some cases reversing their positions. For example, the Fed, which hiked rates four times in 2018, cut its federal funds rate target three times in 2019 and moved from tapering its balance sheet to expanding it through asset purchases. The European Central Bank, which had been rolling back its bond-buying program in 2018, restarted it to stimulate the eurozone economy.
Although US real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose 2.1% (annualized) in the third quarter, down from 3.1% in the first quarter, the US economy expanded at a moderate pace. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) Corporate earnings, consumer spending, and the labor market were strong, while inflation remained low.
Stock markets rallied, retreated, and rebounded to record highs
Early in the first quarter, stocks rallied as US-China trade negotiations appeared to be progressing, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause from hiking rates unless warranted, the US government’s partial shutdown ended, and corporate earnings rose sharply despite slower growth. The S&P 500 jumped nearly 8.0% in January alone.
Stocks sold off in May as trade-war worries resurfaced. However, equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of possible rate cuts and on hopes for a trade deal. During the first half of 2019, the Fed maintained its interest rate target.
Trade concerns re-emerged in the third quarter amid signs of slowing growth and renewed trade frictions. With inflation below its target, the Fed cut rates in July for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008 as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the US economy’s expansion and withstand the risk of a global economic slowdown and further drop in business investment.
In August, concerns about tariffs, the growth of China’s industrial output, and the global economy intensified, driving investors toward less-risky investments like US Treasuries. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, briefly dropped below the rate on two-year Treasuries. Although many analysts didn’t interpret this particular “yield curve inversion” as indicative of a looming recession, as they often have in the past, stock prices — particularly in emerging markets — dropped sharply.
Although the Fed cut rates again in September and October to a range of 1.50%-1.75%, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank did not plan to cut rates further unless incoming information required its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed did not adjust rates through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, US stock indexes surged to new highs and emerging market stocks rallied amid reports the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Eurozone stock markets rose in reaction to improved economic results from Germany. United Kingdom investors were encouraged by the outcome of December elections that many hope will lead to a smoother potential exit of the UK from the European Union.
All S&P 500 sectors rose
The best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+50.3%), communication services (+32.7%), and financials (+32.1%). Next in line were industrials (+29.4%), real estate (+29.0%), consumer discretionary (+27.9%), consumer staples (+27.6%), utilities (+26.4%), materials (+24.6%), health care (+20.8%), and energy (+11.8%).

| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Growth outperformed value, large-cap stocks topped small caps
For the year, the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 35.85%, outperforming the Russell 3000® Value Index, which rose 26.26%. Large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, rose 31.43%. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 30.54%, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index lagged yet still returned 25.52%.
International stocks collectively rose but underperformed US equities
Stocks trading in emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 18.4% for the year. Notable top-performing country components in the index included Russia (+50.9%), supported by a jump in oil prices, Taiwan (+36.4%), Brazil (+26.3%), and China (23.5%). Taiwan’s and China’s markets advanced in the fourth quarter as trade frictions diminished, although weak economic data from China dampened investor sentiment during the year. Notable countries that underperformed the index but still contributed positively to performance included South Korea (+12.5%), Mexico (+11.4%), and India (+7.6%). Malaysia (-2.0%) detracted from the index’s performance.
Equities in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 22.01%. For the year, the MSCI Europe Index rose 23.77%, the MSCI UK Index returned 21.05%, and the MSCI Japan Index rose 19.61%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In 2019, for the first time in more than a decade, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates to help sustain the US economy’s expansion in the face of slowing global economic growth and US-China trade-war risks. The central bank was merely one of dozens that reduced rates throughout the year, igniting rallies in numerous global bond markets. During 2019, emerging markets debt, US high yield bonds, and corporate investment-grade bonds delivered robust returns, yet US government bonds and many other fixed income categories also posted solid results.
In the US, the economy grew at a healthy but slow pace. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropped from 3.1% (annualized) in the first quarter to 2.1% in the third, the economy continued to expand. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) The national unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September, corporate earnings were generally strong, and inflation remained low. Elsewhere, the European economy grew weakly. Notably, China’s growth rate dropped significantly from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019.
Bond markets fluctuated but closed higher
During the first quarter of 2019, global growth expectations softened. The Fed, which increased rates four times in 2018, signaled it would pause from hiking rates further based on its outlook at the time, sending bond markets higher. US high yield and emerging market bond prices rose sharply, supported by a tailwind of receding tariff worries and favorable corporate earnings.
In May, worries about the US-China trade war surfaced again. US Treasuries rallied while riskier assets such as high yield bonds dropped in price. The following month, however, the Fed hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts ahead, trade fears cooled, and the high yield bond market rebounded. The Fed did not adjust rates during the first half of the year.
In July, the global economy showed signs of a slowdown and tariff fears returned. Later that month, for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008, the Fed cut rates as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the expansion of the US economy and provide a cushion against the risk of a global economic slowdown. During August, the yield on 10-year US Treasuries dropped below yields on two-year Treasuries. Historically, when yields on longer-term Treasuries fall below yields on shorter-term issues, recessions have often followed. While many analysts questioned the “yield curve inversion” as a recessionary indicator in this instance, investors concerned about the economy gravitated to “safe-haven” securities like longer-term US Treasuries and other high-quality credits.
The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.59% in August. US high yield bonds finished virtually flat, whereas emerging market sovereign debt markets dropped sharply due in part to a stronger US dollar versus most currencies.
In September, the Fed cut rates again and the European Central Bank restarted its bond-buying program to help stimulate the eurozone economy after rolling it back the previous year. After the Fed dropped its rate target to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% in October, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank had no plans for further cuts unless incoming data compelled its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed maintained its rate target through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, stronger-than-expected economic data and reports that the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal led to a “risk-on” rally. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Over the final month of the year, high yield bonds and emerging markets bonds posted solid gains, while investment-grade US bonds dropped slightly.

| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Emerging market debt and high yield bonds surged by double digits
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), which measures global investment-grade debt performance, returned 6.84%. (All returns cited are in US dollars.) Bonds trading in the US, based on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 8.72%. The US index’s leading component sectors included investment-grade corporate bonds (+14.5%), which benefited from the interest rate cuts and solid fundamentals, along with Treasury inflation-protected securities (+8.4%), commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.3%), and US Treasury securities (+6.9%). Treasuries with longer maturities rallied in the second and third quarters when trade tensions escalated, which triggered a “flight to quality.” The 10-year US Treasury note’s yield, which moves opposite to its price, opened 2019 at approximately 2.65% and closed the year at 1.92% as trade tensions eased.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 7.54% for the year. US high yield bonds (debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 14.40%. Accommodative monetary policies, strong corporate earnings, and investors’ quest for enhanced yield supported demand for high yield opportunities. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index surged 15.04%. Despite a strong US dollar (relative to most currencies), sovereign debt yields in general drifted lower as inflation was contained in many countries, providing their central banks with latitude to reduce interest rates, which bolstered bond prices.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Conservative Balanced Portfolio returned 18.49%. The Portfolio underperformed both its Blended Index and the S&P 500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is total investment return consistent with a conservatively managed diversified portfolio.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Global growth in 2019 (the reporting period) was the weakest in a decade, weighed down by an escalation of the US-China trade war, which hit manufacturing and export sectors hard. Consumer sectors, propped up by strong labor markets and decent wage growth, remained pillars of strength, preventing a more ominous tumble. The US economy slowed from 2018 as the positive impact of the 2017 fiscal tax stimulus faded and four rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) in 2018 resulted in tighter financial conditions by the end of that year. Global growth in 2019 also suffered collateral damage from the US-China trade conflict as manufacturing and other sectors in multiple countries were negatively impacted during the period.
With global growth weak and inflation running below target levels across major economies, nearly 50 central banks delivered over 100 interest rate cuts in 2019, the largest cumulative easing since the 2008 financial crisis. In 2019, financial markets posted solid gains across most equity and fixed income asset classes. A key driver of stellar equity market performance was a shift from rate tightening to rate easing by the Fed, which cut interest rates three times in 2019. This helped lead to strong expansion of stock valuation, while earnings were flat to down. Stocks also benefited from a reduction in trade tensions and other geopolitical risks at the end of 2019, as the US and China agreed on a so-called “phase-one” trade deal.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Asset allocation decisions had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period, driven by conservative positioning at the start of the year. At the close of 2018, with investors fearing the prospect of recession, equity markets experienced a sharp spike in volatility. In response, the Portfolio moved to a safer allocation by overweighting bonds and underweighting equities. However, a sharp reversal of risk sentiment in January and February of 2019 led the Portfolio to lag its benchmark index.
Otherwise, the effects from asset allocation were minimal. The remainder of the year saw the Portfolio shift to an average overweight in both equities and bonds, while keeping cash below benchmark weight. A small off-benchmark diversifying exposure to international equities was a drag, as they trailed US equity performance during the year. This was offset by an underweight position in cash, which was outpaced by both equities and fixed income investments. In addition, an off-benchmark position in Treasury inflation-protected securities — closed out in late spring — was a benefit and outpaced the broader fixed income benchmark during its time in the Portfolio.
At the close of 2019, the Portfolio was positioned with an overweight exposure to equities, equally split between domestic and international markets, as well as underweight exposures to fixed income and cash.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Diversified Bond Portfolio returned 10.90%. The Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is a high level of income over a longer term while providing reasonable safety of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As 2019 concluded, we reached a juncture of several milestones: the end of a decade, two decades into the 21st century, and 40 years into what has undoubtedly been one of the best bond bull markets in history. It’s a logical point to reflect on where we are, where we may be headed, and what might be the most appropriate fixed income investment approach going forward.
In 2019, the 40-year bull market proved that it could still put up some big numbers, with all fixed income sectors posting positive total returns for the year as the Federal Reserve cut interest rates three times, spreads tightened, and Treasury yields declined. (Spreads are yield differentials between securities of comparable maturity.) Some of the top-performing sectors included US long investment-grade corporates (23.9%), emerging markets hard currency debt (15.0%), US investment-grade corporates (14.5%), and US high yield bonds (14.4%). PGIM Fixed Income does not think 2019 was the fixed income market’s grand finale. For some time, long-term developed market interest rates have been low and range bound, while credit spreads (yield differentials between corporate bonds and US Treasuries) have been tighter than average. And yet, the effect of rolling down spread and yield curves, combined with some spread compression and a slight decline in yields, has resulted in sizable returns in three out of the last four years. (Rolling down is a strategy of investing where spreads and yields can change most over a period of time.) Granted, based on current yield and spread levels, the market may be out of room for similar returns — at least for now.
PGIM Fixed Income’s conclusion is straightforward: stay invested in the markets. While this conclusion may sound quaint — or even maniacal, considering the level of yields and spreads — it also has held true over the past several years. The bond market has put up respectable returns despite fears that interest rates have already approached rock-bottom levels and that the business cycle has surely neared its end. The culmination of these factors has proven, in PGIM Fixed Income’s view, that the resulting novel investment environment can provide fertile ground to add value through active management.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
During the reporting period, sector allocation added to performance as the Portfolio’s overweights to high yield, collateralized loan obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), and emerging markets all added value. An underweight to mortgage-backed securities hurt performance. Individual issue selection was also positive, with positioning in sovereigns, investment-grade corporates, non-agency mortgages, high yield, and CMBS the largest contributors. Security selection in Treasuries limited results. Within its holdings of corporate bonds, the Portfolio benefited from positions in the foreign non-corporate, health care & pharmaceutical and banking sectors, while positions in the chemicals and midstream energy sectors detracted from performance. The combined impact of the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve strategies added to performance for the period. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.
During the period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. The use of interest rate swaps had a negative impact on performance during the period. In addition, the Portfolio used futures and options to manage interest rate risk, a more efficient

way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The use of futures and options detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the period. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of CDX (an index of credit default swaps) to hedge credit risk or to increase or decrease credit risk. The use of CDX contributed to performance for the period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities markets were highly volatile in 2019, unsettled by US-China trade discord; softening economic growth in the US, Europe, and China; and geopolitical uncertainty. Companies across market sectors cited trade tensions as the source of heightened caution in planning and investing. The US political landscape was likewise unsettled, as investigations of interference in the 2016 presidential election unfolded, impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump proceeded, and the 2020 election cycle ramped up. US economic activity showed signs of tempering, with job growth and business activity moderating. Modest wage gains and positive consumption indicated a still-healthy consumer. Markets responded favorably as the Federal Reserve pivoted on monetary policy, lowering the federal funds rate three times in the period to a range of 1.50%-1.75% by the end of the year.
The S&P 500® Index gained 31.46% in 2019, as all 11 sectors within the Index posted positive total returns. Information technology notched the strongest result among all sectors with just over 30% of the Index’s total return. Financials and communication services also helped to drive the Index’s gain. Energy, materials, and real estate posted positive results but lagged the Index. Top-performing individual Index components included Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Meanwhile, the Index’s weakest performers were Pfizer Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corp., PG&E Corp., Walgreens Co., and The Kraft Heinz Co.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
The Portfolio posted a solid double-digit gain but slightly trailed the Index over the period. Information technology holdings such as Apple, Microsoft, and MasterCard Inc. contributed to relative performance. Apple’s fundamental strength reflects the global proliferation of the company’s iOS platform across the personal device landscape (smartphone, tablet, etc.). With its huge installed base, Apple saw rapid growth in service business subscriptions during the period and is poised to benefit from a potentially robust product cycle that incorporates fifth-generation (5G) wireless standards. Performance was also helped by overweighting data processing & outsourced services stocks, including MasterCard. The company delivered solid revenues and its earnings exceeded consensus estimates. At the same time, MasterCard saw solid growth in gross dollar volume (the total value of cardholder transactions and transactions processed) as the firm continued to benefit from the long-term shift from cash to electronic credit and debit transactions. Meanwhile, underexposure to technology hardware storage & peripherals and systems software was a negative and partially offset the Portfolio’s gains within the sector.
Stock selection within consumer staples and materials also contributed to relative performance. Despite downward earnings-per-share revisions on average across the financials sector, a less dovish Federal Reserve and fee growth contributed to the overall gain for financial stocks. Investors’ expectations for moderate, but positive gross domestic product growth, along with a stable yield curve, helped to shift market sentiment that benefited shares of JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America Corp.

Conversely, Twilio Inc. shares hurt performance. Twilio’s cloud communications platform enables software developers to build, scale, and operate communications functions such as phone calls, text messages, video, and email within its mobile applications. Billing errors resulted in the issuance of one-time credits to a handful of customers.
An underweight allocation to the health care sector also hurt, specifically within pharmaceuticals. Shares of global pharmaceuticals company Pfizer fell sharply in July after the firm announced a deal to merge Pfizer’s Upjohn unit (off-patent branded drugs business) with competitor Mylan to form a new entity. The potential transaction was ill-received by the market.
Shares of apparel accessories & luxury goods maker Tapestry Inc. declined about 22% in August 2019 after poor execution and performance from its Kate Spade brand and an operating loss at its Stuart Weitzman brand.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Flexible Managed Portfolio returned 19.87%. The Portfolio underperformed both its Blended Index and the S&P 500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is total investment return consistent with an aggressively managed diversified portfolio.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Global growth in 2019 (the reporting period) was the weakest in a decade, weighed down by an escalation of the US-China trade war, which hit manufacturing and export sectors hard. Consumer sectors, propped up by strong labor markets and decent wage growth, remained pillars of strength, preventing a more ominous tumble. The US economy slowed from 2018 as the positive impact of the 2017 fiscal tax stimulus faded and four rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) in 2018 resulted in tighter financial conditions by the end of that year. Global growth in 2019 also suffered collateral damage from the US-China trade conflict as manufacturing and other sectors in multiple countries were negatively impacted during the period.
With global growth weak and inflation running below target levels across major economies, nearly 50 central banks delivered over 100 interest rate cuts in 2019, the largest cumulative easing since the 2008 financial crisis. In 2019, financial markets posted solid gains across most equity and fixed income asset classes. A key driver of stellar equity market performance was a shift from rate tightening to rate easing by the Fed, which cut interest rates three times in 2019. This helped lead to strong expansion of stock valuation, while earnings were flat to down. Stocks also benefited from a reduction in trade tensions and other geopolitical risks at the end of 2019, as the US and China agreed on a so-called “phase-one” trade deal.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Subadvisors detracted from the Portfolio’s returns, accounting for the majority of its underperformance during the period. Specifically, the core US equity subadvisor had a difficult year as a bias toward value stocks failed to keep pace with strong performance among growth equities during the period. The fixed income subadvisor ended the year with a positive contribution.
Asset allocation decisions had a negative impact on performance in 2019, driven by conservative positioning at the start of the year. At the close of 2018, with investors fearing the prospect of recession, equity markets experienced a sharp spike in volatility. In response, the Portfolio moved to a safer allocation by overweighting bonds and underweighting equities. However, a sharp reversal of risk sentiment in January and February of 2019 led the Portfolio to lag its benchmark index.
Otherwise, the effects from asset allocation were minimal. The remainder of the year saw the Portfolio shift to an average overweight in both equities and bonds, while keeping cash below benchmark weight. A small off-benchmark diversifying exposure to international equities was a drag, as they trailed US equity performance during the year. This was offset by an underweight in cash, which was outpaced by both equities and fixed income investments.
At the close of 2019, the Portfolio was positioned with an overweight exposure to equities, equally split between domestic and international markets, as well as underweight exposures to fixed income and cash.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Global Portfolio returned 30.39%. The Portfolio outperformed the MSCI World Index (GD).
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Global economic growth in 2019 was the weakest in a decade, weighed down by an escalation of the US-China trade war. However, it was a great year for financial markets, with solid gains across most asset classes, driven by valuations for equities and lower yields for fixed income. The subadvisor expects a moderate improvement in global economic growth in 2020 rather than a strong rebound, fueled by monetary stimulus, potential fiscal stimulus, and reduced geopolitical uncertainty.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
In aggregate, the Portfolio’s subadvisors posted positive relative performance for the reporting period, with three of the four outperforming their respective style-specific benchmarks. The Brown Large-Cap Growth and William Blair sleeves significantly outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, respectively. At the end of the period, both subadvisors’ sleeves had higher growth exposure relative to their benchmarks, adding to returns as the growth style continued its strong run of performance during the year.
The Brown sleeve’s outperformance was mainly driven by strong stock selection within the health care sector, while the William Blair sleeve added value with an overweight to the technology sector.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Government Income Portfolio returned 6.61%. The Portfolio underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Government Bond Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is a high level of income over the long-term consistent with the preservation of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
As 2019 concluded, we reached a juncture of several milestones: the end of a decade, two decades into the 21st century, and 40 years into what has undoubtedly been one of the best bond bull markets in history. It’s a logical point to reflect on where we are, where we may be headed, and what might be the most appropriate fixed income investment approach going forward.
In 2019, the 40-year bull market proved that it could still put up some big numbers, with all fixed income sectors posting positive total returns for the year as the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates three times, spreads tightened, and Treasury yields declined. (Spreads are yield differentials between securities of comparable maturity.) Some of the top-performing sectors included US long investment-grade corporates (23.9%), emerging markets hard currency debt (15.0%), US investment-grade corporates (14.5%), and US high yield bonds (14.4%). PGIM Fixed Income does not think 2019 was the fixed income market’s grand finale. For some time, long-term developed market interest rates have been low and range bound, while credit spreads (yield differentials between corporate bonds and US Treasuries) have been tighter than average. And yet, the effect of rolling down spread and yield curves, combined with some spread compression and a slight decline in yields, has resulted in sizable returns in three out of the last four years. (Rolling down is a strategy of investing where spreads and yields can change most over a period of time.) Granted, based on current yield and spread levels, the market may be out of room for similar returns — at least for now.
The Fed is one of several developed market central banks that will likely remain on hold through much, if not all, of 2020. Yet the Fed’s ongoing initiatives in 2020 — including its significant Treasury bill purchases and series of repurchase agreement operations — have shaped some of PGIM Fixed Income’s opportunistic positions in the new year.
In terms of nominal US interest rates, PGIM Fixed Income anticipates that the 10-year Treasury yield could trade in a range of 1.50% to 2.25% in the first quarter of 2020, with the potential for some slight bear steepening. (Bear steepening is a change in the yield curve wherein longer-term yields rise faster than short-term yields.) However, an increase in the 10-year yield above 2.00% would be difficult to sustain given the prevalence of low-yielding developed market rates globally, in PGIM Fixed Income’s view.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
During the reporting period, sector allocation was a strong driver of the Portfolio’s outperformance, highlighted by overweights to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and agencies. Security selection was negative for the period, with positioning in Treasuries, CMBS, swaps, and mortgage-backed securities limiting results. Security selection in CLOs added to performance. The Portfolio’s positioning for a flatter US yield curve was negative, while its tactical duration positioning was a strong contributor. Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.

During the period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. The use of interest rate swaps had a negative impact on performance during the period. The Portfolio used futures and options to manage interest rate risk, which is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The use of futures and options collectively hurt the Portfolio’s performance during the period.

Taxable government money market funds continued to see large flows in 2019 ($256 billion net flow). This was primarily driven by a flat yield curve in the US as more money moved to the front, or short-term, end of the curve in an effort to reduce duration risk and credit risk without giving up much yield. (Duration is a measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.) For instance, as of December 31, 2019, the average taxable government money market fund yielded 1.64%, which compared favorably to the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, which yielded 2.31% and had 5.87 years of duration on that date.

floating rate securities versus peers in anticipation of expected lower future interest rates. As the anticipated Fed rate cuts were implemented three times in the second half of 2019, the Portfolio’s WAM remained stable into the July rate cut and lengthened slightly ahead of the October cut. The Portfolio’s WAL shortened after the October cut but remained longer versus its peers as it became clear the Fed was reaching the end of its easing cycle.
Throughout 2019, the Portfolio took advantage of wider floating rate spreads and increased its position in LIBOR floaters. Floaters are bonds whose coupon rates reset based on each security’s terms over their life.
Additionally, to take advantage of changing relative value across security types, the Portfolio shifted its positioning in agency discount notes, repurchase agreements, and US Treasuries throughout the period.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the High Yield Bond Portfolio returned 16.33%. The Portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays US High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index.
The Portfolio’s objective is high total return.
What were market conditions during the reporting period?
The high yield market came roaring out of the gates to start 2019, as dovish language from the Federal Reserve (the Fed) and optimism surrounding US-China trade discussions fueled risky assets. Throughout the second quarter, fear of a global economic slowdown worsened, inducing volatility in the market. However, dovish commentary from the Fed in early June sparked a rebound in risky assets, leaving bond prices essentially flat for the quarter. Sentiment shifted somewhat during the third quarter amid a backdrop of weakening global economic data and the aggressive central bank actions across the globe to combat it. The high yield market posted solid returns in the fourth quarter, the bulk of which came in December, as an apparent “phase one” US-China trade deal, a resounding Conservative Party election victory in the United Kingdom that put Brexit back on track, and a Federal Open Market Committee meeting that left interest rates on hold all helped to alleviate uncertainties overhanging the market.
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays 1% Issuer Constrained Index returned 14.27%. By quality, BB-rated credits fared the best, posting a total return of 15.5%, while B-rated bonds and CCC-rated bonds returned 14.7% and 9.4%, respectively. By industry, financials, retail, and cable were the outperformers, while energy, airlines, and paper lagged the broader market. Moody’s 12-month US speculative grade default rate ended November at 4.0%, up from 2.8% at the end of 2018.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
During the reporting period, the Portfolio’s relative outperformance was driven largely by broad-based issue selection, principally within the electric utilities, metals & mining, and healthcare & pharmaceutical sectors. Issue selection within the homebuilders and media & entertainment sectors also boosted returns.
A few of the overall largest single-name contributors included overweights to Genon (electric utilities) and Wind Tre Spa (telecom) and underweights to EP Energy (upstream energy) and Frontier (telecom). This was partially offset by issue selection within the midstream energy and automotive sectors, which detracted from performance. Overweights to Alta Mesa (upstream energy) and Digicel (telecom) were the largest single-name detractors from performance.
Having more risk on in the Portfolio relative to the benchmark was also a large contributor to returns as spreads rallied during the period. Overall industry selection was mixed during the period. Overweights to home builders and electric utilities added to performance. This was mostly offset by an underweight to banking, which detracted from returns.
During the period, the Portfolio used US Treasury futures to manage the Portfolio’s interest rate risk, a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The use of futures and foreign exchange derivatives had no material impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the period. The Portfolio used credit derivatives to manage its overall risk profile. The impact was modestly negative.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS1
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Jennison Portfolio Class I shares returned 33.34% and Class II shares returned 32.82%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index and outperformed the S&P 500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities markets were highly volatile in 2019, unsettled by US-China trade discord; softening economic growth in the US, Europe, and China; and geopolitical uncertainty. Companies across market sectors cited trade tensions as the source of heightened caution in planning and investing. The US political landscape was likewise unsettled, as investigations of interference in the 2016 presidential election unfolded, impeachment hearings against President Trump proceeded, and the 2020 election cycle ramped up. US economic activity showed signs of tempering, with job growth and business activity moderating. Modest wage gains and positive consumption indicated a still-healthy consumer. Markets responded favorably as the US Federal Reserve pivoted on monetary policy, lowering the federal funds rate three times in the period to 1.50%-1.75% at the end of the year.
The Russell 1000® Growth benchmark advanced strongly in 2019. Every sector in the Index rose, but only information technology outperformed the overall index. Communication services and financial services performed essentially in line with the benchmark, while energy and health care lagged the most.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Consumer discretionary positions were strong positive contributors to the Portfolio’s absolute and relative performance. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies, benefited from significant revenue synergies of its various segments, laying the groundwork for strong, durable top-line growth. For yoga-inspired athletic apparel retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc., new products, integrated marketing, and online sales momentum combined with a high-end customer base and athleisure fashion trends to drive strong customer traffic, sales conversion, and comparable store sales. Athletic footwear and apparel giant Nike Inc. generated impressive earnings, revenue, and gross margins on the strength of its execution and the Nike brand. The company’s growth opportunities include e-commerce and innovation in apparel and manufacturing technology.
Stock selection was also beneficial in consumer staples, where Estée Lauder Companies Inc. has enhanced its strong brand portfolio in the fast-growing luxury beauty care market with complementary acquisitions and subsequent brand development. Costco Wholesale Corp. was helped by a consistent stream of membership fee income that allowed for low prices and broad product selection, which led to high inventory turnover.
In financials, S&P Global Inc.benefited from secular trends such as debt market development abroad, disintermediation of securities markets, and passive investing. S&P’s financial services and business information units have solid fundamentals, significant barriers to entry, substantial recurring revenue, and attractive long-term growth opportunities.
The Portfolio’s information technology holdings rose significantly but lagged the sector return within the benchmark, as gains from Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., MasterCard Inc., Visa Inc., Adobe Inc., and Nvidia Corp. were partially offset by declines in Twilio Inc., SAP SE, and Taiwan

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. Apple’s fundamental strength reflects the proliferation of the iOS platform across the global mobile phone, tablet, and personal device landscape. With its huge installed base, Apple is benefiting from rapid growth in service business subscriptions — a key source of recurring revenue. In 2020, a potentially robust product cycle for Apple incorporates fifth-generation (5G) wireless standards. Payments companies continue to benefit from the long-term shift from cash to electronic credit and debit transactions. In particular, MasterCard and Visa maintain strong market positions with high barriers to entry, pricing power, and solid operating leverage potential. Microsoft and Adobe continue to offer mission-critical cloud-based applications and services that are creating fundamental changes in the way businesses operate. Nvidia is focused on key high-growth markets where it can leverage its graphics semiconductor expertise to offer high-value-added solutions.
Twilio’s cloud communications platform enables software developers to build, scale, and operate communications functions such as phone calls, text messages, video, and e-mail within their mobile applications. Billing errors resulted in the issuance of one-time credits to a handful of customers during the period. SAP, the world’s largest vendor of enterprise resource planning software, faced challenges during the period as it stepped up its cloud-based offerings. Taiwan Semiconductor shares, like those of many semiconductor companies, declined during the period on worries that US-China trade discord could depress chip demand. The Portfolio sold its position in Taiwan Semiconductor in May 2019 and also sold its position in SAP in September 2019.
In industrials, ride-sharing company Uber Technologies Inc. reported bigger-than-expected losses, raising concerns that the company’s path to profitability could be longer than anticipated.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS1
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Natural Resources Portfolio Class I returned 10.69% and Class II returned 10.25%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares underperformed both the Blended Index and the MSCI World Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
It was a challenging year for natural resource-related portfolios in general compared to broader markets. This was largely due to industrial/manufacturing economic indicators remaining mired in negative territory, as well as factor investing, which continued to strongly favor momentum and growth over cyclicality, commodity exposure, and value.
During 2019, most commodity prices remained range-bound at levels modestly below their long-term historical averages, as the prospect of lower supply growth through improved operator capital discipline was offset by uncertainty as to the near- to intermediate-term rate-of-demand growth.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
For the year, the Portfolio of Class I shares gained 10.69% but underperformed its benchmark index, the MSCI World Energy/Materials Index (60%/40%, respectively), as well as broader markets. The underperformance was largely a result of adverse energy and materials stock selection.
International trade relations and free flow of goods, in particular between the United States and China, are essentially important to the manufacturing, industrial, and cyclical parts of the economy that are so critical to investor perception of future demand growth for commodities. During the year, there were several frustrating and unpredictable changes in direction in US-China trade policy where the subadvisors were caught wrong-footed with positioning that cost them performance, with the impact evenly spaced across capital goods, mining, utilities, gold, and energy.
The subadvisors recently read an analysis that indicated energy stocks dropped to a 93-year valuation low versus the broader market. While the subadvisors acknowledged the risks of holding energy stocks during 2019, they viewed valuations in the sector attractive at the start of the year and did not anticipate a reduction in value of this colossal magnitude. The energy sector detracted most from the Portfolio’s relative performance in 2019. The bottom-five stock detractors were Continental Resources Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corp., Marathon Oil Corp., Marathon Petroleum Corp., and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (The Portfolio did not hold shares of Anadarko Petroleum; the company was acquired by Occidental Petroleum at a high premium.) As of the end of the period, the Portfolio continued to hold Continental Resources, Occidental Petroleum, and the refiner Marathon Petroleum as the subadvisors view these shares as having an attractive upside potential. The Portfolio sold its Marathon Oil shares during the period.
Stock selection in the chemicals sector was a bright spot for the Portfolio. Perceived “safe-haven stocks” such as Air Products and Chemicals Inc., FMC Corp., and Ecolab Inc. outperformed. The Portfolio also benefited from making some well-timed purchases and avoiding more cyclical chemical stocks.
The Portfolio’s overweight in industrials was also a positive contributor to performance, led by stocks held in the rails sector, notably Union Pacific Corp. and Kansas City Southern. The subadvisors view these stocks as secular winners and the Portfolio continued to hold them as of the end of the period.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio returned 22.42%. The Portfolio underperformed the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities performed robustly in 2019 (the reporting period), despite headwinds from slowing global growth and trade policy conflicts, specifically between the US and China. Helping offset some of these risks was the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) monetary policy, which became increasingly accommodative to growth as the Fed began cutting interest rates in July. In December, the US and China agreed to sign “phase one” of a trade agreement, which catapulted US equity prices even higher. Investors favored growth stocks in the beginning of the period, while stocks priced more reasonably relative to their earnings trailed the market averages. Later in the period, investors’ focus shifted to stocks of profitable companies and away from speculative growth stocks of companies with little to no earnings.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Potential tracking error differences (the difference between the return of the Portfolio and that of the benchmark), brokerage costs, and other Portfolio costs and expenses may cause the Portfolio’s return to be lower than that of the benchmark, the S&P Small Cap 600 Index (the Index). The Portfolio slightly underperformed the Index.
In terms of positions, biopharmaceutical firms Medicines Co. and Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. were the largest contributors to Portfolio performance, while oil exploration & production firm Whiting Petroleum Corp. and Merit Medical Systems, Inc., a maker of medical devices, were the largest detractors. Medicines shares were eliminated from the Portfolio after the company was acquired during the period. Arrowhead was also eliminated when the stock migrated to the S&P 400 Index.
Most of the Portfolio’s buy or sell trades were performed market-on-close, or as close as possible to the end of the trading day in order to more closely track the Index. The Portfolio also seeks to add income through securities lending. This income tends to be greater for small caps, which are often more difficult to borrow because they are not typically as widely traded as their mid- and large-cap counterparts.
The Portfolio had modest exposure to derivative instruments to help enhance liquidity, but the position did not have a material impact on performance this period.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Value Portfolio Class I shares returned 26.06% and Class II shares returned 25.58%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index and S&P 500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is capital appreciation.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities markets were highly volatile in 2019, unsettled by US-China trade discord; softening economic growth in the US, Europe, and China; and geopolitical uncertainty. Companies across market sectors cited trade tensions as the source of heightened caution in planning and investing. The US political landscape was likewise unsettled, as investigations of interference in the 2016 presidential election unfolded, impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump proceeded, and the 2020 election cycle ramped up. US economic activity showed signs of tempering, with job growth and business activity moderating.
The Russell 1000® Value Index (the Index) returned 26.54% in 2019, with each of the 11 market sectors except for energy producing a double-digit gain. Financials and information technology notched the strongest results, while materials, energy, and real estate were among the relative laggards.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
The Portfolio’s position in diversified banks was the dominant driver of absolute performance over the period, while regional banks contributed to a lesser degree. Apparel accessories & luxury goods and general merchandise stores hampered absolute gains.
Stock selection among oil & gas exploration & production names helped to drive the Portfolio’s gain relative to the Index. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices rose over 30% in 2019, which benefited producers. Overweight allocations to diversified banks, consumer finance, and aerospace & defense stocks also contributed. Conversely, overweight positions within pharmaceuticals and apparel retail were among the main detractors of relative performance over the year.
The Portfolio’s most notable individual contributors to overall performance included diversified banks JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp., as investors’ expectations for moderate but positive gross domestic product (GDP) growth, along with a stable yield curve, helped to shift market sentiment and lift financial stocks during the period. JPMorgan’s third-quarter revenue rose 8% year-over-year, beating consensus expectations. Meanwhile, Bank of America reported solid third-quarter earnings, with core numbers ahead of consensus driven largely by strong investment banking revenue, improved expenses, and better credit attributable to recoveries in non-core loan sales. Shares of specialized real estate investment trust (REIT) American Tower Corp. benefited from bouts of market volatility that caused investors to pile into “risk-off” stocks such as utilities and REITs during the period.
Top detractors from the Portfolio’s performance during the period included global biopharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. The stock fell sharply in July after the firm announced a deal to merge Pfizer’s Upjohn unit (off-patent branded drugs business) with competitor Mylan to form a new entity. The potential transaction was ill-received by the market. This, combined with headwinds facing the broader health care sector in the period, hurt Pfizer shares.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Dollar Tree Stores Inc. underperformed after missing its quarterly earnings and revising its guidance. The discount retailer’s cost pressures were expected to continue into 2020, causing a stock price decline at the end of 2019. Shares of apparel accessories & luxury goods maker Tapestry Inc. declined about 22% in August 2019 after poor execution and performance from its Kate Spade brand and an operating loss at its Stuart Weitzman brand. The Portfolio no longer held a position in Tapestry at the end of the period.

The Prudential Series Fund Fees and Expenses — unaudited | | December 31, 2019 |
As a contract owner investing in Portfolios of the Fund through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fees and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

Centrally Cleared Credit Default Swap Agreement on credit indices—Buy Protection(1): | | | | | | | | | |
CDX.NA.IG.33.V1 | | 12/20/29 | | 1.000%(Q) | | 15,600 | | $ | 64,115 | | | $ | (140,771 | ) | | $ | (204,886 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |

| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may includeup-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may includeup-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |
| * | When an implied credit spread is not available, reference the fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices and asset-backed securities. Where the Portfolio is the seller of protection, it serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

Centrally Cleared Credit Default Swap Agreement on credit indices—Buy Protection(1): | |
CDX.NA.IG.33.V1 | | | 12/20/29 | | | | 1.000 | %(Q) | | | 24,000 | | | $ | 98,638 | | | $ | (216,571 | ) | | $ | (315,209 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |

| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may includeup-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Portfolio entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may includeup-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND
The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to the 13 Portfolios listed below together with their investment objectives. Each Portfolio is a diversified portfolio except Natural Resources Portfolio which is anon-diversified portfolio for purposes of the 1940 Act.
Conservative Balanced Portfolio: Total investment return consistent with a conservatively managed diversified portfolio.
Diversified Bond Portfolio: High level of income over a longer term while providing reasonable safety of capital.
Equity Portfolio: Long-term growth of capital.
Flexible Managed Portfolio: Total return consistent with an aggressively managed diversified portfolio.
Global Portfolio: Long-term growth of capital.
Government Income Portfolio: High level of income over the long-term consistent with the preservation of capital.
Government Money Market Portfolio: Maximum current income consistent with the stability of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
High Yield Bond Portfolio: High total return.
Jennison Portfolio: Long-term growth of capital.
Natural Resources Portfolio: Long-term growth of capital.
Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio: Long-term growth of capital.
Stock Index Portfolio: Achieve investment results that generally correspond to the performance of publicly traded common stocks.
Value Portfolio: Capital appreciation.
The Series Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series Fund and the Portfolios consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Each Portfolio holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit a Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reportingyear-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolios’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
B1
Various inputs determine how the Portfolios’ investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time each Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-end,non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the OTC market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Portfolios utilize the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
The Government Money Market Portfolio values all of its securities of sufficient credit quality at amortized cost, which approximates fair 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. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Bank loans are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors utilize broker/dealer quotations and provide prices based on the average of such quotations. Bank loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Bank loans valued based on a single broker quote or at the original transaction price in excess of five business days are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
OTC and centrally cleared derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Portfolios utilize the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also includes consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by
B2
obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series Fund has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that each Portfolio limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser(s) and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities: Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Portfolios’ LRMP because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Portfolios’ investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Connecticut Avenue Securities (CAS) and Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR): �� Certain Portfolios purchased government controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities that transfer most of the cost of defaults to private investors including the Portfolios. These are insurance-like products that are called CAS by Fannie Mae and STACR securities by Freddie Mac. Payments on the securities are based primarily on the performance of a reference pool of underlying mortgages. With such securities, the Portfolios could lose some or all of their principal if the underlying mortgages experience credit defaults.
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 current rates of exchange;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates 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 period, the Portfolios do not generally 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 long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the 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 period. Accordingly, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, the Portfolios do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.
B3
Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Forward and Cross Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain Portfolios entered into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposures to certain currencies. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward and cross currency contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward and cross currency contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency.
Options: Certain Portfolios purchased or wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Portfolio currently owns or intends to purchase. The Portfolios may also use options to gain additional market exposure. The Portfolios’ principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Portfolio purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Portfolio writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain (loss) to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Portfolio has realized a gain (loss). The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid at the closing of a purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain (loss). Gain (loss) on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Gain (loss) on written options is presented separately as net realized gain (loss) on options written transactions.
The Portfolio, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments 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 financial instrument underlying the written option. The Portfolio, as purchaser of an OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.
When a Portfolio writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Portfolio becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Portfolio will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.
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 Portfolios are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a
B4
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 Portfolios 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 (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.
Certain Portfolios invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge their existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolios intend to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolios 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. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Bank Loans: Certain Portfolios invested in bank loans. Bank loans include fixed and floating rate loans that are privately negotiated between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions, including, but not limited to, term loans, revolvers, and other instruments issued in the bank loan market. The Portfolios acquired interests in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a bank loan assignment, the Portfolios generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a bank loan participation, the Portfolios generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Portfolios generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Portfolios may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Portfolios will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Portfolios.
Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements with United States financial institutions, it is each Portfolio’s policy that its 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 transactions, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral ismarked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the 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 Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Forward Rate Agreements: Forward rate agreements represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount on a fixed future date. Certain Portfolios entered into forward rate agreements to gain yield exposure based on anticipated market conditions at the specified termination date of the agreement.
Swap Agreements: Certain Portfolios entered into certain types of swap agreements detailed in the disclosures below. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed either directly with a counterparty(“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. ForOTC-traded, upfront premiums paid and received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. Certain Portfolios are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective. Certain Portfolios used interest rate swaps to maintain their ability to generate steady cash flow by
B5
receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net present value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life.
Inflation Swaps: Certain Portfolios entered into inflation swap agreements to protect against fluctuations in inflation rates. Inflation swaps are characterized by one party paying a fixed rate in exchange for a floating rate that is derived from an inflation index, such as the Consumer Price Index or UK Retail Price Index. Inflation swaps subject the Portfolios to interest rate risk.
Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”): CDS involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (collectively a “credit event”) for the referenced entity (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country) on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.
Certain Portfolios are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives, and as such, have entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases. A Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased CDS is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value due to a credit event.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Portfolio generally receives an agreed upon payment from the buyer of protection throughout the term of the swap, provided no credit event occurs. As the seller, the Portfolio effectively increases its investment risk because, in addition to its total net assets, the Portfolio may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The maximum amount of the payment that the Portfolio, as a seller of protection, could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. This potential amount will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements which the Portfolio entered into for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Portfolio generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements where the Portfolio is the seller of protection as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. These spreads serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of default risk for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads and increased market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
Total Return Swaps: In a total return swap, one party receives payments based on the market value of the security or the commodity involved, or total return of a specific referenced asset, such as an equity, index or bond, and in return pays a defined amount. Certain Portfolios are subject to risk exposures associated with the referenced asset in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain Portfolios entered into total return swaps to manage their exposure to a security or an index. The Portfolios’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the change in the value of the security, in favor of the Portfolio, from the point of entering into the contract.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series Fund, on behalf of certain Portfolios, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of a Portfolio. For multi-sleeve Portfolios, different subadvisers who manage their respective sleeve, may enter into such agreements with the same counterparty and are disclosed separately for each sleeve when presenting information about offsetting and related netting arrangements for OTC derivatives. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be
B6
received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Series Fund, on behalf of certain Portfolios, is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Portfolio is held in a segregated account by the Portfolio’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold orre-pledged, are presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Portfolio is segregated by the Portfolio’s custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Portfolio’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Portfolio may occur upon a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Portfolio’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Portfolio’s future derivative activity.
In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in a portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/ insolvency of either party. Such OTC derivative agreements include conditions which, when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.
As of December 31, 2019, none of the Portfolios have met conditions under such agreements which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
Forward currency contracts, forward rate agreements, written options, short sales, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.
Warrants and Rights: Certain Portfolios held warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Portfolios until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.
Payment-In-Kind: Certain fixed income Portfolios invested in the open market or receive pursuant to debt restructuring, securities thatpay-in-kind (PIK) the interest due on such debt instruments. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified, is added to the existing principal balance of the debt when issued bonds have same terms as the bond or recorded as a separate bond when terms are different from the existing debt, and is recorded as interest income.
Delayed-Delivery Transactions: Certain Portfolios purchased or sold securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery and forward commitment basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Portfolio will set aside and
B7
maintain an amount of liquid assets sufficient to meet the purchase price in a segregated account until the settlement date. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Portfolio may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction subsequent to establishment, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain (loss). When selling a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio forfeits its eligibility to realize future gains (losses) with respect to the security.
Securities Lending: Certain Portfolios lend their portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Portfolio recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls: Certain Portfolios entered into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Portfolios sell mortgage securities for delivery in the current month, realizing a gain (loss), and simultaneously enter into contracts to repurchase somewhat similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Portfolios forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Portfolios are compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by the lower repurchase price at the future date. The difference between the sale proceeds and the lower repurchase price is recorded as a realized gain on investment transactions. The Portfolios maintain a segregated account, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligations, with respect to dollar rolls. The Portfolios are subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Portfolios are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs): Certain Portfolios invested in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual. For Portfolios with multiple classes of shares, net investment income or loss (other than administration and distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. Each Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolios is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). Each Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of each Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with each Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable
B8
amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced in Note 3. Each Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.
Distributions: Distributions, if any, from each Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. The Government Money Market Portfolio declares and reinvests distributions, if any, daily. Distributions are recorded on theex-date.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.

The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I and Class II shares of the Portfolios. The Portfolios compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolios’ Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of each Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund has an administration agreement with the Manager, which acts as the administrator of the Class II shares of the Portfolios. The administration fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those Portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was as follows:
| | | | |
Portfolio | | Amount | |
Equity Portfolio | | $ | 140,611 | |
Global Portfolio | | | 28,947 | |
Jennison Portfolio | | | 52,370 | |
Value Portfolio | | | 45,696 | |
PIMS, PGIM Investments, PGIM, Inc., QMA and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.
| 3. | | Other Transactions with Affiliates |
a.) Related Parties
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in
B10
the Statement of Operations include certainout-of-pocket expenses paid tonon-affiliates, where applicable.
The Portfolios may invest their overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and their securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. The Portfolios may also invest in the PGIM Core Short-Term Bond Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2 (together with PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund, the “Core Funds”) registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolios’ investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Funds and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.
Certain Portfolios may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule17a-7 procedures. Rule17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’s Rule17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, no17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Portfolios.
b.) Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters
In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolios.
In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Portfolios. The per share amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolios’ “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the
B11
opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. In May 2019, Prudential made an additional payment to the Portfolios relating to the opportunity loss upon the final review of the methodology used for the Portfolios’ rate of return calculation. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payments for each affected Portfolio are disclosed in the Portfolios’ “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019.
In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.
During the reporting period and in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential instituted a process to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following thepay-date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.
In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.
The following amounts have been paid by Prudential for excess withholding taxes related to permanent tax detriments as described above for certain countries due to the Portfolios’ status as partnership for tax purposes.

| | * | The Fund did not have any capital gain distributions during the reporting period. |
| | ** | Represents the affiliated amount of securities lending income shown on the Statement of Operations. |
All Portfolios are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnerships is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions.After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.
With respect to the Portfolios, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of each Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.
The Manager has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolios’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are subject to such review.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, (excluding the Government Money Market Portfolio), along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with
B16
a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reportingperiod-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Term of Commitment | | 10/3/2019—10/1/2020 | | 10/4/2018—10/2/2019 |
Total Commitment | | $900 million | | $900 million |
| Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
| Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1)
the effective federal funds
rate, (2) theone-month
LIBOR rate or (3) zero
percent | | 1.25% plus the higher of (1)
the effective federal funds
rate, (2) theone-month
LIBOR rate or (3) zero
percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The following Funds utilized the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2019. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Portfolios had utilized the credit facility.

The Portfolios offer Class I shares and certain Portfolios offer Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of a Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). Class II shares are sold only to separate accounts ofnon-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts ofnon-affiliated insurers for which Prudential or its affiliates administer and/or reinsure the variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts issued in connection with the separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolios through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolios. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolios to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.

| 8. | | Risks of Investing in the Portfolios |
The Portfolios’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Bond Obligations Risk: The Portfolios’ holdings, share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed-income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Portfolios for redemption before it matures and the Portfolios may not be able to reinvest at the same level and therefore would earn less income.
Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Portfolios. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Portfolios will depend on the subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivative transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Portfolios. Other risks arise
B20
from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Portfolios’ derivatives positions. In fact, many OTC derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. OTC derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Portfolios.
Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks: The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Portfolios invest could go down. The Portfolios’ holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Portfolios can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Foreign Securities Risk: The Portfolios’ investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolios may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Portfolios’ investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Geographic Concentration Risk: The Portfolios’ performance may be closely tied to the market, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions in the countries or regions in which the Portfolios invest. This can result in more pronounced risks based upon conditions that impact one or more countries or regions more or less than other countries or regions.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of an investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Portfolios may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Portfolios’ holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk”. The Portfolios may face a heightened level of interest rate risk as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s policies. The Portfolios’ investments may lose value if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.
Liquidity Risk: The Portfolios may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Portfolios are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Portfolios may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Portfolios are forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Portfolios may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Portfolios may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade orders of a given size. The reduction in dealer market-making capacity in the fixed-income markets that has occurred in recent years also has the potential to reduce liquidity. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Portfolios’ value or prevent the Portfolios from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.
Market and Credit Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Portfolios’ securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Portfolios fall, the value of an investment in the Portfolios will decline.Additionally, the Portfolios may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolios have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Non-diversification Risk: Anon-diversified Portfolio may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or industry than a diversified portfolio. Investing in anon-diversified portfolio involves greater risk than investing in a diversified portfolio because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of anon-diversified portfolio.
B21
Risks of Investing in equity REITs: Real estate securities are subject to similar risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject to the risks of default or of payments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also includeso-called “subprime” mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property and interest rates. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties.
In addition, investing in equity REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the equity REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Equity REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified geographically or by property/mortgage asset type, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. Since equity REITs are relatively smaller in size when compared to the broader market, and smaller companies tend to be more volatile than larger companies, they may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. Equity REITs are subject to interest rate risks. Equity REITs may incur significant amounts of leverage. The Portfolios will indirectly bear a portion of the expenses, including management fees, paid by each equity REIT in which they invest, in addition to the expenses of the Portfolios.
Risks of Investing in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS): The value of TIPS generally fluctuates in response to inflationary concerns. As inflationary expectations increase, TIPS will become more attractive, because they protect future interest payments against inflation. Conversely, as inflationary concerns decrease, TIPS will become less attractive and less valuable. Although the principal value of TIPS declines in periods of deflation, holders at maturity receive no less than the par value of the bond. However, if the Portfolios purchase TIPS in the secondary market, where principal values have been adjusted upward due to inflation since issuance, they may experience a loss if there is a subsequent period of deflation. If inflation is lower than expected during the period the Portfolios hold TIPS, the Portfolios may earn less on the security than on a conventional bond.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities Risk: U.S. Government and agency securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Not all U.S. Government securities are insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; some are only insured or guaranteed by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.
| 9. | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Portfolios’ policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has adopted the aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU. The Manager continues to evaluate certain other provisions of the ASU and does not expect a material impact to financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE PORTFOLIOS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of each of the portfolios listed in Appendix A, each a portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, (the Portfolios), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, or brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Insurance investment companies since 2003.

| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Equity Market Overview
US and international stock markets posted stellar returns in 2019 as many central banks, including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), cut interest rates or used other stimuli to spur growth. Although the markets fluctuated sharply at times in reaction to on-again-off-again trade tensions between the US and China, concerns about tariffs subsided later in the year.
In the US, the broad-based S&P 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index returned 31.46% and 31.02%, respectively, for the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 21.51%. (All returns cited are in US dollars and include dividends.)
Global economic growth slowed, central banks cut rates
During 2019, the pace of global growth slowed and concerns about the economic outlook rose due in part to uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs and other geopolitical factors, which created a drag on manufacturing and export activity. Many central banks responded by loosening monetary policy — in some cases reversing their positions. For example, the Fed, which hiked rates four times in 2018, cut its federal funds rate target three times in 2019 and moved from tapering its balance sheet to expanding it through asset purchases. The European Central Bank, which had been rolling back its bond-buying program in 2018, restarted it to stimulate the eurozone economy.
Although US real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose 2.1% (annualized) in the third quarter, down from 3.1% in the first quarter, the US economy expanded at a moderate pace. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) Corporate earnings, consumer spending, and the labor market were strong, while inflation remained low.
Stock markets rallied, retreated, and rebounded to record highs
Early in the first quarter, stocks rallied as US-China trade negotiations appeared to be progressing, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause from hiking rates unless warranted, the US government’s partial shutdown ended, and corporate earnings rose sharply despite slower growth. The S&P 500 jumped nearly 8.0% in January alone.
Stocks sold off in May as trade-war worries resurfaced. However, equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of possible rate cuts and on hopes for a trade deal. During the first half of 2019, the Fed maintained its interest rate target.
Trade concerns re-emerged in the third quarter amid signs of slowing growth and renewed trade frictions. With inflation below its target, the Fed cut rates in July for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008 as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the US economy’s expansion and withstand the risk of a global economic slowdown and further drop in business investment.
In August, concerns about tariffs, the growth of China’s industrial output, and the global economy intensified, driving investors toward less-risky investments like US Treasuries. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, briefly dropped below the rate on two-year Treasuries. Although many analysts didn’t interpret this particular “yield curve inversion” as indicative of a looming recession, as they often have in the past, stock prices — particularly in emerging markets — dropped sharply.
Although the Fed cut rates again in September and October to a range of 1.50%-1.75%, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank did not plan to cut rates further unless incoming information required its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed did not adjust rates through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, US stock indexes surged to new highs and emerging market stocks rallied amid reports the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Eurozone stock markets rose in reaction to improved economic results from Germany. United Kingdom investors were encouraged by the outcome of December elections that many hope will lead to a smoother potential exit of the UK from the European Union.
All S&P 500 sectors rose
The best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+50.3%), communication services (+32.7%), and financials (+32.1%). Next in line were industrials (+29.4%), real estate (+29.0%), consumer discretionary (+27.9%), consumer staples (+27.6%), utilities (+26.4%), materials (+24.6%), health care (+20.8%), and energy (+11.8%).

| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Growth outperformed value, large-cap stocks topped small caps
For the year, the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 35.85%, outperforming the Russell 3000® Value Index, which rose 26.26%. Large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, rose 31.43%. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 30.54%, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index lagged yet still returned 25.52%.
International stocks collectively rose but underperformed US equities
Stocks trading in emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 18.4% for the year. Notable top-performing country components in the index included Russia (+50.9%), supported by a jump in oil prices, Taiwan (+36.4%), Brazil (+26.3%), and China (23.5%). Taiwan’s and China’s markets advanced in the fourth quarter as trade frictions diminished, although weak economic data from China dampened investor sentiment during the year. Notable countries that underperformed the index but still contributed positively to performance included South Korea (+12.5%), Mexico (+11.4%), and India (+7.6%). Malaysia (-2.0%) detracted from the index’s performance.
Equities in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 22.01%. For the year, the MSCI Europe Index rose 23.77%, the MSCI UK Index returned 21.05%, and the MSCI Japan Index rose 19.61%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In 2019, for the first time in more than a decade, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates to help sustain the US economy’s expansion in the face of slowing global economic growth and US-China trade-war risks. The central bank was merely one of dozens that reduced rates throughout the year, igniting rallies in numerous global bond markets. During 2019, emerging markets debt, US high yield bonds, and corporate investment-grade bonds delivered robust returns, yet US government bonds and many other fixed income categories also posted solid results.
In the US, the economy grew at a healthy but slow pace. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropped from 3.1% (annualized) in the first quarter to 2.1% in the third, the economy continued to expand. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) The national unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September, corporate earnings were generally strong, and inflation remained low. Elsewhere, the European economy grew weakly. Notably, China’s growth rate dropped significantly from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019.
Bond markets fluctuated but closed higher
During the first quarter of 2019, global growth expectations softened. The Fed, which increased rates four times in 2018, signaled it would pause from hiking rates further based on its outlook at the time, sending bond markets higher. US high yield and emerging market bond prices rose sharply, supported by a tailwind of receding tariff worries and favorable corporate earnings.
In May, worries about the US-China trade war surfaced again. US Treasuries rallied while riskier assets such as high yield bonds dropped in price. The following month, however, the Fed hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts ahead, trade fears cooled, and the high yield bond market rebounded. The Fed did not adjust rates during the first half of the year.
In July, the global economy showed signs of a slowdown and tariff fears returned. Later that month, for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008, the Fed cut rates as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the expansion of the US economy and provide a cushion against the risk of a global economic slowdown. During August, the yield on 10-year US Treasuries dropped below yields on two-year Treasuries. Historically, when yields on longer-term Treasuries fall below yields on shorter-term issues, recessions have often followed. While many analysts questioned the “yield curve inversion” as a recessionary indicator in this instance, investors concerned about the economy gravitated to “safe-haven” securities like longer-term US Treasuries and other high-quality credits.
The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.59% in August. US high yield bonds finished virtually flat, whereas emerging market sovereign debt markets dropped sharply due in part to a stronger US dollar versus most currencies.
In September, the Fed cut rates again and the European Central Bank restarted its bond-buying program to help stimulate the eurozone economy after rolling it back the previous year. After the Fed dropped its rate target to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% in October, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank had no plans for further cuts unless incoming data compelled its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed maintained its rate target through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, stronger-than-expected economic data and reports that the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal led to a “risk-on” rally. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Over the final month of the year, high yield bonds and emerging markets bonds posted solid gains, while investment-grade US bonds dropped slightly.
| | | | |
| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Emerging market debt and high yield bonds surged by double digits
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), which measures global investment-grade debt performance, returned 6.84%. (All returns cited are in US dollars.) Bonds trading in the US, based on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 8.72%. The US index’s leading component sectors included investment-grade corporate bonds (+14.5%), which benefited from the interest rate cuts and solid fundamentals, along with Treasury inflation-protected securities (+8.4%), commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.3%), and US Treasury securities (+6.9%). Treasuries with longer maturities rallied in the second and third quarters when trade tensions escalated, which triggered a “flight to quality.” The 10-year US Treasury note’s yield, which moves opposite to its price, opened 2019 at approximately 2.65% and closed the year at 1.92% as trade tensions eased.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 7.54% for the year. US high yield bonds (debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 14.40%. Accommodative monetary policies, strong corporate earnings, and investors’ quest for enhanced yield supported demand for high yield opportunities. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index surged 15.04%. Despite a strong US dollar (relative to most currencies), sovereign debt yields in general drifted lower as inflation was contained in many countries, providing their central banks with latitude to reduce interest rates, which bolstered bond prices.

Past performance does not guarantee future returns. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance.
Portfolio performance is net of fund expenses, but not contract charges, which, if included, would significantly lower the performance quoted. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, performance would be lower.
$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS1
For the year ended December 31, 2019 the SP International Growth Portfolio Class I shares returned 32.38% and the Class II shares returned 31.91%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (GD).
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
For 2019, the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index) was up 22.66% (including dividends), despite a strong dollar, trade war tensions, an impasse over negotiations on the United Kingdom’s pending exit from the European Union (known as Brexit), and downward global earnings revisions for most of the year. By year-end, most of these worries were alleviated, as China and the US agreed on a trade deal, Boris Johnson won his UK referendum, and global earnings trends started to stabilize. Stronger international stock market returns were also attributable to the Federal Reserve reversing course and cutting rates three times in the second half of the year, increasing liquidity. Investors, in turn, started to embrace risk, as volatility, momentum, and small-capitalization stocks came back into favor during the fourth quarter. From a sector perspective, information technology and health care (especially biotechnology) advanced, while energy and communications lagged. In general, the performance of western European equity markets substantially improved over their 2018 performance.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Stock selection added to relative performance as all three subadvisors (Jennison Associates, Neuberger Berman, and William Blair & Co.) tended to invest in technology stocks and avoid energy equities. Stocks in the latter area tend to have slower earnings-growth rates, so the subadvisors avoided them. Instead, they invested in internet retail, software, and services industries, which all advanced during the period. Given their growth mandate, the subadvisors favored companies in these faster-growing industries and were rewarded.
Volatility and price momentum were also key factors that determined positive relative returns in 2019. Jennison typically has a more aggressive portfolio, while William Blair incorporates momentum as part of its process. In addition, each subadvisor’s underexposure to companies with lower price-to-book ratios further enhanced results as value was out of favor for the year. These exposures are a residual of the subadvisors’ processes.
Finally, all three subadvisors had a substantial underweight to Japan, which tends to have lower growth and profitability rates than many nations in the rest of the developed world. Japan’s forward earnings estimates and wage-growth rates have been declining over the last couple of years. As a result, the country underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index. Since the subadvisors were underweight, the Portfolio benefited.
| 1 | The graph is based on the performance of Class I shares. Performance of Class II shares will be lower due to differences in the fee structure. Class II shares have associated12b-1 and administrative fees at an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.15% respectively of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares. |

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Portfolio expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 184 days in the six-month period ended December 31, 2019, and divided by the 365 days in the Portfolio’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio may invest.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND
The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to the SP International Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is a diversified portfolio.
The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term growth of capital.
The Series Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series Fund and the Portfolio consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Portfolio holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reportingyear-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
Various inputs determine how the Portfolio’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-end,non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
B1
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series Fund has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Portfolio limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser(s) and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities: Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Portfolio’s LRMP because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolio 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 current rates of exchange;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Portfolio does not generally 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 long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Portfolio does 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 period. Accordingly, holding period 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 the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of the Portfolio. For multi-sleeve Portfolios, different subadvisers who manage their respective sleeve, may enter into such agreements with the same counterparty and are disclosed separately for each sleeve when presenting information about offsetting and related netting arrangements for OTC derivatives. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be
B2
received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending: The Portfolio lends its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Portfolio recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs): The Portfolio invested in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual. Net investment income or loss (other than administration and distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced in Note 3. The Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.
Distributions: Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Distributions are recorded on theex-date.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.
B3
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an investment management agreement with the Manager. Pursuant to this agreement, the Manager has responsibility for all investment management services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. The Manager has entered into separate subadvisory agreements with each of Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”), Neuberger Berman Investment Advisors, LLC and William Blair & Company LLC (collectively, the “subadvisers”), under which the subadvisers provide investment advisory services for the Portfolio. The Manager pays for the services of the subadvisers, the cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets of the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed through June 30, 2020 to waive a portion of its management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.019% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. All amounts paid or payable by the Portfolio to the Manager, under the agreement, are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
The Manager has contractually agreed through June 30, 2020 to limit the net annual operating expenses (exclusive of distribution and service(12b-1) fees, administrative fees, taxes (such as income and foreign withholdings taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), interest, underlying funds, brokerage, extraordinary and certain other expenses such as dividend, broker charges and interest expense on short sales) of each class of shares of the Portfolio to 1.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Manager in accordance with this agreement may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such waiver/reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year. The effective management fee rate net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.62% for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund has an administration agreement with the Manager, which acts as the administrator of the Class II shares of the Portfolio. The administration fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $2,876.
PGIM Investments, PIMS and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.

a.) Related Parties
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certainout-of-pocket expenses paid tonon-affiliates, where applicable.
The Portfolio may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and its securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolio’s investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are
B4
paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Fund and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.
The Portfolio may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule17a-7 procedures. Rule17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’sRule 17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, no17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Portfolio.
In March 2019, the following Portfolio was reimbursed by the Investment Manager for costs incurred due to a portfolio allocation error. The reimbursement amount for the affected Portfolio is disclosed below and such amount is also disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the year ended December 31, 2019.

b.) Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters
In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolio.
In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Portfolios. The per share amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent
B5
trustees. In May 2019, Prudential made an additional payment to the Portfolio relating to the opportunity loss upon the final review of the methodology used for the Portfolio’s rate of return calculation. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payment for the Portfolio are disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019.
In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.
During the reporting period and in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential instituted a process to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following thepay-date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.
In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.
The following amount has been paid by Prudential for excess withholding taxes related to permanent tax detriments as described above for certain countries due to the Portfolio’s status as partnership for tax purposes.

| * | The Fund did not have any capital gain distributions during the reporting period. |
| ** | Represents the affiliated amount of securities lending income shown on the Statement of Operations. |
The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions. After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.
With respect to the Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.
The Manager has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolio’s U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are subject to such review.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reportingperiod-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
| | |
| Term of Commitment | | 10/3/2019 – 10/1/2020 | | 10/4/2018 – 10/2/2019 |
| | |
| Total Commitment | | $ 900 million | | $ 900 million |
| | |
| Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
| | |
Annualized Interest Rate on
Borrowings | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent | | 1.25% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Portfolio did not utilize the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Portfolio offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). Class II shares are sold only to separate accounts ofnon-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts ofnon-affiliated insurers for which Prudential or its affiliates administer and/or reinsure the variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts issued in connection with the separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolio through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, the following number of shares of the Portfolio were owned of record directly or by other Portfolios as part of their investments by insurance affiliates of Prudential Financial, Inc.

| 8. | | Risks of Investing in the Portfolio |
The Portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Emerging Markets and Foreign Securities Risk:The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are
B8
less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. The Portfolio’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks: The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Portfolio invests could go down. The Portfolio’s holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Portfolio can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Geographic Concentration Risk: The Portfolio’s performance may be closely tied to the market, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions in the countries or regions in which the Portfolio invests. This can result in more pronounced risks based upon conditions that impact one or more countries or regions more or less than other countries or regions.
Market and Credit Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Portfolio’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Portfolio fall, the value of an investment in the Portfolio will decline. Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
| 9. | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Portfolio’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has adopted the aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU. The Manager continues to evaluate certain other provisions of the ASU and does not expect a material impact to financial statement disclosures.

| (h) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been (3.74)% and (4.33)% for Class I and Class II, respectively. |
| (i) | Does not include expenses of the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (j) | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short-term investments and certain derivatives. If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SP INTERNATIONAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SP International Growth Portfolio, a portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, (the Portfolio), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for the each of the years indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Insurance investment companies since 2003.

| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Equity Market Overview
US and international stock markets posted stellar returns in 2019 as many central banks, including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), cut interest rates or used other stimuli to spur growth. Although the markets fluctuated sharply at times in reaction to on-again-off-again trade tensions between the US and China, concerns about tariffs subsided later in the year.
In the US, the broad-based S&P 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index returned 31.46% and 31.02%, respectively, for the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 21.51%. (All returns cited are in US dollars and include dividends.)
Global economic growth slowed, central banks cut rates
During 2019, the pace of global growth slowed and concerns about the economic outlook rose due in part to uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs and other geopolitical factors, which created a drag on manufacturing and export activity. Many central banks responded by loosening monetary policy — in some cases reversing their positions. For example, the Fed, which hiked rates four times in 2018, cut its federal funds rate target three times in 2019 and moved from tapering its balance sheet to expanding it through asset purchases. The European Central Bank, which had been rolling back its bond-buying program in 2018, restarted it to stimulate the eurozone economy.
Although US real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose 2.1% (annualized) in the third quarter, down from 3.1% in the first quarter, the US economy expanded at a moderate pace. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) Corporate earnings, consumer spending, and the labor market were strong, while inflation remained low.
Stock markets rallied, retreated, and rebounded to record highs
Early in the first quarter, stocks rallied as US-China trade negotiations appeared to be progressing, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause from hiking rates unless warranted, the US government’s partial shutdown ended, and corporate earnings rose sharply despite slower growth. The S&P 500 jumped nearly 8.0% in January alone.
Stocks sold off in May as trade-war worries resurfaced. However, equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of possible rate cuts and on hopes for a trade deal. During the first half of 2019, the Fed maintained its interest rate target.
Trade concerns re-emerged in the third quarter amid signs of slowing growth and renewed trade frictions. With inflation below its target, the Fed cut rates in July for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008 as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the US economy’s expansion and withstand the risk of a global economic slowdown and further drop in business investment.
In August, concerns about tariffs, the growth of China’s industrial output, and the global economy intensified, driving investors toward less-risky investments like US Treasuries. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, briefly dropped below the rate on two-year Treasuries. Although many analysts didn’t interpret this particular “yield curve inversion” as indicative of a looming recession, as they often have in the past, stock prices — particularly in emerging markets — dropped sharply.
Although the Fed cut rates again in September and October to a range of 1.50%-1.75%, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank did not plan to cut rates further unless incoming information required its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed did not adjust rates through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, US stock indexes surged to new highs and emerging market stocks rallied amid reports the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Eurozone stock markets rose in reaction to improved economic results from Germany. United Kingdom investors were encouraged by the outcome of December elections that many hope will lead to a smoother potential exit of the UK from the European Union.
All S&P 500 sectors rose
The best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+50.3%), communication services (+32.7%), and financials (+32.1%). Next in line were industrials (+29.4%), real estate (+29.0%), consumer discretionary (+27.9%), consumer staples (+27.6%), utilities (+26.4%), materials (+24.6%), health care (+20.8%), and energy (+11.8%).

Growth outperformed value, large-cap stocks topped small caps
For the year, the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 35.85%, outperforming the Russell 3000® Value Index, which rose 26.26%. Large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, rose 31.43%. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 30.54%, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index lagged yet still returned 25.52%.
International stocks collectively rose but underperformed US equities
Stocks trading in emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 18.4% for the year. Notable top-performing country components in the index included Russia (+50.9%), supported by a jump in oil prices, Taiwan (+36.4%), Brazil (+26.3%), and China (23.5%). Taiwan’s and China’s markets advanced in the fourth quarter as trade frictions diminished, although weak economic data from China dampened investor sentiment during the year. Notable countries that underperformed the index but still contributed positively to performance included South Korea (+12.5%), Mexico (+11.4%), and India (+7.6%). Malaysia (-2.0%) detracted from the index’s performance.
Equities in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 22.01%. For the year, the MSCI Europe Index rose 23.77%, the MSCI UK Index returned 21.05%, and the MSCI Japan Index rose 19.61%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In 2019, for the first time in more than a decade, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates to help sustain the US economy’s expansion in the face of slowing global economic growth and US-China trade-war risks. The central bank was merely one of dozens that reduced rates throughout the year, igniting rallies in numerous global bond markets. During 2019, emerging markets debt, US high yield bonds, and corporate investment-grade bonds delivered robust returns, yet US government bonds and many other fixed income categories also posted solid results.
In the US, the economy grew at a healthy but slow pace. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropped from 3.1% (annualized) in the first quarter to 2.1% in the third, the economy continued to expand. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) The national unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September, corporate earnings were generally strong, and inflation remained low. Elsewhere, the European economy grew weakly. Notably, China’s growth rate dropped significantly from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019.
Bond markets fluctuated but closed higher
During the first quarter of 2019, global growth expectations softened. The Fed, which increased rates four times in 2018, signaled it would pause from hiking rates further based on its outlook at the time, sending bond markets higher. US high yield and emerging market bond prices rose sharply, supported by a tailwind of receding tariff worries and favorable corporate earnings.
In May, worries about the US-China trade war surfaced again. US Treasuries rallied while riskier assets such as high yield bonds dropped in price. The following month, however, the Fed hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts ahead, trade fears cooled, and the high yield bond market rebounded. The Fed did not adjust rates during the first half of the year.
In July, the global economy showed signs of a slowdown and tariff fears returned. Later that month, for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008, the Fed cut rates as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the expansion of the US economy and provide a cushion against the risk of a global economic slowdown. During August, the yield on 10-year US Treasuries dropped below yields on two-year Treasuries. Historically, when yields on longer-term Treasuries fall below yields on shorter-term issues, recessions have often followed. While many analysts questioned the “yield curve inversion” as a recessionary indicator in this instance, investors concerned about the economy gravitated to “safe-haven” securities like longer-term US Treasuries and other high-quality credits.
The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.59% in August. US high yield bonds finished virtually flat, whereas emerging market sovereign debt markets dropped sharply due in part to a stronger US dollar versus most currencies.
In September, the Fed cut rates again and the European Central Bank restarted its bond-buying program to help stimulate the eurozone economy after rolling it back the previous year. After the Fed dropped its rate target to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% in October, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank had no plans for further cuts unless incoming data compelled its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed maintained its rate target through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, stronger-than-expected economic data and reports that the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal led to a “risk-on” rally. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Over the final month of the year, high yield bonds and emerging markets bonds posted solid gains, while investment-grade US bonds dropped slightly.

Emerging market debt and high yield bonds surged by double digits
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), which measures global investment-grade debt performance, returned 6.84%. (All returns cited are in US dollars.) Bonds trading in the US, based on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 8.72%. The US index’s leading component sectors included investment-grade corporate bonds (+14.5%), which benefited from the interest rate cuts and solid fundamentals, along with Treasury inflation-protected securities (+8.4%), commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.3%), and US Treasury securities (+6.9%). Treasuries with longer maturities rallied in the second and third quarters when trade tensions escalated, which triggered a “flight to quality.” The 10-year US Treasury note’s yield, which moves opposite to its price, opened 2019 at approximately 2.65% and closed the year at 1.92% as trade tensions eased.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 7.54% for the year. US high yield bonds (debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 14.40%. Accommodative monetary policies, strong corporate earnings, and investors’ quest for enhanced yield supported demand for high yield opportunities. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index surged 15.04%. Despite a strong US dollar (relative to most currencies), sovereign debt yields in general drifted lower as inflation was contained in many countries, providing their central banks with latitude to reduce interest rates, which bolstered bond prices.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS1
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio Class I shares returned 37.71% and Class II shares returned 37.16%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares outperformed both the Russell Midcap Growth Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The S&P 500 Index returned 31.46% in 2019 (the reporting period), making it the strongest calendar year for the US equity market since 2013. Within mid-caps, it was a positive year for growth, with the Russell Midcap Growth Index returning 35.47% versus 27.06% for the Russell Midcap Value Index. Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, every sector posted a positive return. The utilities (+51.7%) and financial services (+44.7%) sectors had the highest returns, while the energy (+8.0%) and consumer staples (+20.9%) sectors lagged.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Stock selection in the health care sector was the primary positive contributor to performance, followed by choices in the producer durables market segment. Conversely, stock selection in energy was the top detractor from relative performance. An underweight allocation to the utilities sector also detracted, albeit modestly.
From an individual stock perspective, overweight positions in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Shopify Inc. were the top contributors to the Portfolio’s relative performance. Advanced Micro Devices outperformed toward the end of the year due to the company’s strengthened competitive position heading into 2020. Shopify was a top contributor on reports of strong revenue growth throughout the year, highlighted by substantial growth in its merchant and subscription solutions segments.
Overweight positions in Concho Resources Inc. and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. were the top detractors from performance. Much of the underperformance for Concho Resources came during the third quarter when it released a weaker-than-expected earnings report due to disappointing oil production at its new well sites. TD Ameritrade traded lower early in the fourth quarter after its peers eliminated online trade commissions, a policy the company subsequently adopted. Its performance improved later in the quarter when Charles Schwab announced plans to acquire the company.
From a positioning perspective, producer durables was the Portfolio’s largest overweight exposure at the end of the reporting period. Consumer discretionary, which started the period as an underweight, was the second-largest overweight at the end of the period as the subadvisor initiated new positions and added to existing positions. Health care, which started the period as a significant overweight, ended the period as a rather neutral weight as exposure was pared back throughout the year. Consumer staples remained the Portfolio’s largest underweight exposure along with information technology, which started the period as an overweight but was reduced throughout the year.

The Prudential Series Fund Fees and Expenses — unaudited | | December 31, 2019 |
As a contract owner investing in the Portfolio through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND
The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to the SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is a diversified portfolio.
The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term capital appreciation.
The Series Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies.The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series Fund and the Portfolio consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Portfolio holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reportingyear-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
Various inputs determine how the Portfolio’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-end,non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since
B1
they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series Fund has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Portfolio limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser(s) and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities: Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Portfolio’s LRMP because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolio 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 current rates of exchange;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Portfolio does not generally 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 long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Portfolio does 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 period. Accordingly, holding period 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 the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of the Portfolio. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the
B2
Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending: The Portfolio lends its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Portfolio recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual. Net investment income or loss (other than administration and distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced in Note 3. The Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.
Distributions: Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Distributions are recorded on theex-date.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an investment management agreement with the Manager. Pursuant to this agreement, the Manager has responsibility for all investment management services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. Effective January 26, 2019, the Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”) (the “subadviser”), under which J.P. Morgan provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. The Manager pays for the
B3
services of the subadviser, the cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses. Prior to January 26, 2019, the Manager had a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets of the Fund. All amounts paid or payable by the Portfolio to the Manager, under the agreement, are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund has an administration agreement with the Manager, which acts as the administrator of the Class II shares of the Portfolio. The administration fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $1,390.
PGIM Investments and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.
| 3. | | Other Transactions with Affiliates |
a.) Related Parties
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certainout-of-pocket expenses paid tonon-affiliates, where applicable.
The Portfolio may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and its securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolio’s investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Fund and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.
The Portfolio may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule17a-7 procedures. Rule17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’s Rule17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, no17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Portfolio.
b.) Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters
B4
In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolio.
In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Portfolios. The per share amount ofopportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payment for the Portfolio are disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.
In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.
During the reporting period and in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential instituted a process to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following thepay-date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.
In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with
B5
the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.
The following amount has been paid by Prudential for excess withholding taxes related to timing differences as described above for certain countries due to the Portfolio’s status as a partnership for tax purposes.

| | * | The Fund did not have any capital gain distributions during the reporting period. |
| | ** | Represents the affiliated amount of securities lending income shown on the Statement of Operations. |
The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions. After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.
With respect to the Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.
The Manager has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolio’s U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are subject to such review.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reportingperiod-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Term of Commitment | | 10/3/2019 – 10/1/2020 | | 10/4/2018 – 10/2/2019 |

Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
B6
| | | | |
| | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent | | 1.25% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Portfolio utilized the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2019. The average daily balance for the 1 day that the Portfolio had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $164,000, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.01%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $164,000. At December 31, 2019, the Portfolio did not have an outstanding loan amount.
The Portfolio offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). Class II shares are sold only to separate accounts ofnon-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts ofnon-affiliated insurers for which Prudential or its affiliates administer and/or reinsure the variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts issued in connection with the separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolio through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, the following number of shares of the Portfolio were owned of record directly or by other Portfolios as part of their investments by insurance affiliates of Prudential Financial, Inc.

| 8. | | Risks of Investing in the Portfolio |
The Portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Emerging Markets Risk:The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks:The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Portfolio invests could go down. The Portfolio’s holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Portfolio can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Market and Credit Risk:Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Portfolio’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Portfolio fall, the value of an investment in the Portfolio will decline. Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
| 9. | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Portfolio’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has adopted the aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU. The Manager continues to evaluate certain other provisions of the ASU and does not expect a material impact to financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SP PRUDENTIAL U.S. EMERGING GROWTH PORTFOLIO AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SP Prudential U.S. Emerging Growth Portfolio, a portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, (the Portfolio), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the each of the years indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Insurance investment companies since 2003.

| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Equity Market Overview
US and international stock markets posted stellar returns in 2019 as many central banks, including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), cut interest rates or used other stimuli to spur growth. Although the markets fluctuated sharply at times in reaction to on-again-off-again trade tensions between the US and China, concerns about tariffs subsided later in the year.
In the US, the broad-based S&P 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index returned 31.46% and 31.02%, respectively, for the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 21.51%. (All returns cited are in US dollars and include dividends.)
Global economic growth slowed, central banks cut rates
During 2019, the pace of global growth slowed and concerns about the economic outlook rose due in part to uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs and other geopolitical factors, which created a drag on manufacturing and export activity. Many central banks responded by loosening monetary policy — in some cases reversing their positions. For example, the Fed, which hiked rates four times in 2018, cut its federal funds rate target three times in 2019 and moved from tapering its balance sheet to expanding it through asset purchases. The European Central Bank, which had been rolling back its bond-buying program in 2018, restarted it to stimulate the eurozone economy.
Although US real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose 2.1% (annualized) in the third quarter, down from 3.1% in the first quarter, the US economy expanded at a moderate pace. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) Corporate earnings, consumer spending, and the labor market were strong, while inflation remained low.
Stock markets rallied, retreated, and rebounded to record highs
Early in the first quarter, stocks rallied as US-China trade negotiations appeared to be progressing, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause from hiking rates unless warranted, the US government’s partial shutdown ended, and corporate earnings rose sharply despite slower growth. The S&P 500 jumped nearly 8.0% in January alone.
Stocks sold off in May as trade-war worries resurfaced. However, equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of possible rate cuts and on hopes for a trade deal. During the first half of 2019, the Fed maintained its interest rate target.
Trade concerns re-emerged in the third quarter amid signs of slowing growth and renewed trade frictions. With inflation below its target, the Fed cut rates in July for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008 as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the US economy’s expansion and withstand the risk of a global economic slowdown and further drop in business investment.
In August, concerns about tariffs, the growth of China’s industrial output, and the global economy intensified, driving investors toward less-risky investments like US Treasuries. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, briefly dropped below the rate on two-year Treasuries. Although many analysts didn’t interpret this particular “yield curve inversion” as indicative of a looming recession, as they often have in the past, stock prices — particularly in emerging markets — dropped sharply.
Although the Fed cut rates again in September and October to a range of 1.50%-1.75%, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank did not plan to cut rates further unless incoming information required its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed did not adjust rates through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, US stock indexes surged to new highs and emerging market stocks rallied amid reports the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Eurozone stock markets rose in reaction to improved economic results from Germany. United Kingdom investors were encouraged by the outcome of December elections that many hope will lead to a smoother potential exit of the UK from the European Union.
All S&P 500 sectors rose
The best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+50.3%), communication services (+32.7%), and financials (+32.1%). Next in line were industrials (+29.4%), real estate (+29.0%), consumer discretionary (+27.9%), consumer staples (+27.6%), utilities (+26.4%), materials (+24.6%), health care (+20.8%), and energy (+11.8%).

| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Growth outperformed value, large-cap stocks topped small caps
For the year, the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 35.85%, outperforming the Russell 3000® Value Index, which rose 26.26%. Large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, rose 31.43%. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 30.54%, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index lagged yet still returned 25.52%.
International stocks collectively rose but underperformed US equities
Stocks trading in emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 18.4% for the year. Notable top-performing country components in the index included Russia (+50.9%), supported by a jump in oil prices, Taiwan (+36.4%), Brazil (+26.3%), and China (23.5%). Taiwan’s and China’s markets advanced in the fourth quarter as trade frictions diminished, although weak economic data from China dampened investor sentiment during the year. Notable countries that underperformed the index but still contributed positively to performance included South Korea (+12.5%), Mexico (+11.4%), and India (+7.6%). Malaysia (-2.0%) detracted from the index’s performance.
Equities in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 22.01%. For the year, the MSCI Europe Index rose 23.77%, the MSCI UK Index returned 21.05%, and the MSCI Japan Index rose 19.61%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In 2019, for the first time in more than a decade, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates to help sustain the US economy’s expansion in the face of slowing global economic growth and US-China trade-war risks. The central bank was merely one of dozens that reduced rates throughout the year, igniting rallies in numerous global bond markets. During 2019, emerging markets debt, US high yield bonds, and corporate investment-grade bonds delivered robust returns, yet US government bonds and many other fixed income categories also posted solid results.
In the US, the economy grew at a healthy but slow pace. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropped from 3.1% (annualized) in the first quarter to 2.1% in the third, the economy continued to expand. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) The national unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September, corporate earnings were generally strong, and inflation remained low. Elsewhere, the European economy grew weakly. Notably, China’s growth rate dropped significantly from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019.
Bond markets fluctuated but closed higher
During the first quarter of 2019, global growth expectations softened. The Fed, which increased rates four times in 2018, signaled it would pause from hiking rates further based on its outlook at the time, sending bond markets higher. US high yield and emerging market bond prices rose sharply, supported by a tailwind of receding tariff worries and favorable corporate earnings.
In May, worries about the US-China trade war surfaced again. US Treasuries rallied while riskier assets such as high yield bonds dropped in price. The following month, however, the Fed hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts ahead, trade fears cooled, and the high yield bond market rebounded. The Fed did not adjust rates during the first half of the year.
In July, the global economy showed signs of a slowdown and tariff fears returned. Later that month, for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008, the Fed cut rates as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the expansion of the US economy and provide a cushion against the risk of a global economic slowdown. During August, the yield on 10-year US Treasuries dropped below yields on two-year Treasuries. Historically, when yields on longer-term Treasuries fall below yields on shorter-term issues, recessions have often followed. While many analysts questioned the “yield curve inversion” as a recessionary indicator in this instance, investors concerned about the economy gravitated to “safe-haven” securities like longer-term US Treasuries and other high-quality credits.
The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.59% in August. US high yield bonds finished virtually flat, whereas emerging market sovereign debt markets dropped sharply due in part to a stronger US dollar versus most currencies.
In September, the Fed cut rates again and the European Central Bank restarted its bond-buying program to help stimulate the eurozone economy after rolling it back the previous year. After the Fed dropped its rate target to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% in October, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank had no plans for further cuts unless incoming data compelled its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed maintained its rate target through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, stronger-than-expected economic data and reports that the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal led to a “risk-on” rally. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Over the final month of the year, high yield bonds and emerging markets bonds posted solid gains, while investment-grade US bonds dropped slightly.

| Market Overview — unaudited(continued) | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Emerging market debt and high yield bonds surged by double digits
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), which measures global investment-grade debt performance, returned 6.84%. (All returns cited are in US dollars.) Bonds trading in the US, based on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 8.72%. The US index’s leading component sectors included investment-grade corporate bonds (+14.5%), which benefited from the interest rate cuts and solid fundamentals, along with Treasury inflation-protected securities (+8.4%), commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.3%), and US Treasury securities (+6.9%). Treasuries with longer maturities rallied in the second and third quarters when trade tensions escalated, which triggered a “flight to quality.” The 10-year US Treasury note’s yield, which moves opposite to its price, opened 2019 at approximately 2.65% and closed the year at 1.92% as trade tensions eased.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 7.54% for the year. US high yield bonds (debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 14.40%. Accommodative monetary policies, strong corporate earnings, and investors’ quest for enhanced yield supported demand for high yield opportunities. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index surged 15.04%. Despite a strong US dollar (relative to most currencies), sovereign debt yields in general drifted lower as inflation was contained in many countries, providing their central banks with latitude to reduce interest rates, which bolstered bond prices.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the SP Small Cap Value Portfolio returned 22.79%. The Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index and underperformed the Russell 2500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The US equity market delivered one of its strongest years of performance in 2019, with the S&P 500 Index returning over 30% and the Russell 2000 Index, a proxy for small-market-capitalization stocks, returning slightly over 25%. The US equity market rallied at the start of the year, almost completely recovering from a sell-off at the end of 2018. After four gradual rate hikes in 2018, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut rates three times in 2019 to keep the economic expansion intact amid trade uncertainties. The trade war between the US and China continued to pressure macroeconomic indicators throughout the first half of the year but did little to suppress a resilient consumer, which ultimately outweighed manufacturing weakness.
In the fourth quarter, stock returns accelerated with an uptick of US manufacturing- and service-sector business surveys, as well as a consistently strong labor market supported by strong nonfarm-payroll numbers in November. These developments helped restore market confidence, while fundamentals of low core inflation, contained financial imbalances, and muted trade war concerns fended off imminent recession risk. The best-performing sectors over the year were information technology, communication services, and financials, while the worst-performing sectors were energy, health care, and materials.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
During 2019, the Portfolio outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (gross returns). For the year, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector contributed to returns, while investments in real estate detracted.
Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (not held in the Portfolio at the end of the reporting period), a semiconductor company that produces programmable logic devices used in the circuits of mobile phones, other telecommunications devices, and Internet-of-Things (IoT), was a top contributor for the year. At the end of 2018, the company named Jim Anderson, a former vice president who turned around operations at chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc., as the new president and chief executive officer. Under his tenure, Anderson has driven revenue growth and executed on company expectations, as evidenced in the company’s 2019 earnings reports. Due to the stock’s significant appreciation in 2019, Goldman Sachs sold the position in the summer. Lattice shares contributed to the Portfolio’s returns for 2019 and also since they were first purchased in the Portfolio’s Small-Cap Value strategy in 2017.
CommVault Systems Inc. (0.2% of the Portfolio at the end of the period), a data-software company that provides the US government with data-protection services, was a top detractor from Portfolio returns for the year. A majority of the stock’s underperformance can be explained by the market’s reaction to mixed earnings reports. The first occurrence was in late April, when the stock dropped following the release of fourth-quarter earnings of fiscal year 2019. The company experienced large deal weakness and challenged channel execution in the quarter. Subsequently, management revised forward guidance downward, expecting improvement in the back half of fiscal 2020. However, the stock was off to a rocky start when it missed fiscal first-quarter earnings expectations at the end of July. Despite some of the near-term issues, Goldman Sachs believes that a new

chief executive officer and chief revenue officer, both appointed in 2019, can correct mid-market execution issues and simplify the sales organization to better monetize CommVault’s products. In Goldman Sachs’ view, the stock is under-earning its potential with a sizeable market opportunity given the growing demand for cloud data.

The Prudential Series Fund Fees and Expenses — unaudited | | December 31, 2019 |
As a contract owner investing in the Portfolio through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

The valuation procedures permit the Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reporting year-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
Various inputs determine how the Portfolio’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
B1
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series Fund has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Portfolio limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser(s) and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities: Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Portfolio’s LRMP because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolio 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 current rates of exchange;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Portfolio does not generally 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 long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Portfolio does 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 period. Accordingly, holding period 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 the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of the Portfolio. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the
B2
conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending: The Portfolio lends its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Portfolio recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs): The Portfolio invested in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs): The Portfolio invested in MLPs. Distributions received from the Portfolio’s investment in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Portfolio records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their respective tax reporting periods have concluded.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolio is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced in Note 3. The Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.
Distributions: Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Distributions are recorded on the ex-date.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.

The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an investment management agreement with the Manager. Pursuant to this agreement, the Manager has responsibility for all investment management services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) (the “subadviser”), under which GSAM provides investment advisory services for the Portfolio. The Manager pays for the services of the subadviser, the cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets of the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed through June 30, 2020 to waive a portion of its management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.008% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The effective management fee rate net of waiver was 0.89% for the year ended December 31, 2019. All amounts paid or payable by the Portfolio to the Manager, under the agreement, are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $0.
PGIM Investments is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential.
| 3. | | Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolio. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Portfolio may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and its securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolio’s investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Fund and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.
The Portfolio may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such 17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’s Rule 17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, no 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Portfolio.
| | b.) | | Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters |
In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolio.
In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series
B4
Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Portfolios. The per share amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payment for the Portfolio are disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.
During the reporting period and in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential instituted a process to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following the pay-date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.
In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $114,925,983 and $113,482,931, respectively.

The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions. After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.
With respect to the Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.
The Manager has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolio’s U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are subject to such review.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reporting period-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Term of Commitment | | 10/3/2019 – 10/1/2020 | | 10/4/2018 – 10/2/2019 |
Total Commitment | | $ 900 million | | $ 900 million |
Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent | | 1.25% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the one-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Portfolio did not utilize the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2019.
B6
The shares of the Portfolio are not subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolio through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, the following number of shares of the Portfolio were owned of record directly or by other Portfolios as part of their investments by insurance affiliates of Prudential Financial, Inc.

| 8. | | Risks of Investing in the Portfolio |
The Portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks: The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Portfolio invests could go down. The Portfolio’s holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Portfolio can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Foreign Securities Risk: The Portfolio’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Market and Credit Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Portfolio’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Portfolio fall, the value of an investment in the Portfolio will decline. Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Risks of Investing in equity REITs: Real estate securities are subject to similar risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject to the risks of default or of payments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “subprime” mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property and interest rates. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties.
In addition, investing in equity REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the equity REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Equity REITs are dependent upon management skills, may not be diversified geographically or by property/mortgage asset type, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. Since equity REITs are relatively smaller in size when compared to the broader market, and smaller companies tend to be more volatile than larger companies, they may be more volatile and/or more illiquid
B7
than other types of equity securities. Equity REITs are subject to interest rate risks. Equity REITs may incur significant amounts of leverage. The Portfolio will indirectly bear a portion of the expenses, including management fees, paid by each equity REIT in which it invests, in addition to the expenses of the Portfolio.
Small Company Risk: Small company stocks present above-average risks in comparison to larger companies. Small companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, stocks issued by smaller companies may be less liquid and fluctuate in value more than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
| 9. | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Portfolio’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has adopted the aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU. The Manager continues to evaluate certain other provisions of the ASU and does not expect a material impact to financial statement disclosures.

| (e) | Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day and a sale on the last day of each year reported and includes reinvestment of distributions, if any, and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns for all years shown. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. |
| (f) | Total return for the year includes the impact of capital contribution, which was not material to the total return. |
| (g) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been 25.40%. |
| (h) | Does not include expenses of the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (i) | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short-term investments and certain derivatives. If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SP SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SP Small Cap Value Portfolio, a portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, (the Portfolio), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Insurance investment companies since 2003.

| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2019 |
Equity Market Overview
US and international stock markets posted stellar returns in 2019 as many central banks, including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), cut interest rates or used other stimuli to spur growth. Although the markets fluctuated sharply at times in reaction to on-again-off-again trade tensions between the US and China, concerns about tariffs subsided later in the year.
In the US, the broad-based S&P 500® Index and Russell 3000® Index returned 31.46% and 31.02%, respectively, for the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a broad measure of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, returned 21.51%. (All returns cited are in US dollars and include dividends.)
Global economic growth slowed, central banks cut rates
During 2019, the pace of global growth slowed and concerns about the economic outlook rose due in part to uncertainties regarding US-China tariffs and other geopolitical factors, which created a drag on manufacturing and export activity. Many central banks responded by loosening monetary policy — in some cases reversing their positions. For example, the Fed, which hiked rates four times in 2018, cut its federal funds rate target three times in 2019 and moved from tapering its balance sheet to expanding it through asset purchases. The European Central Bank, which had been rolling back its bond-buying program in 2018, restarted it to stimulate the eurozone economy.
Although US real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose 2.1% (annualized) in the third quarter, down from 3.1% in the first quarter, the US economy expanded at a moderate pace. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) Corporate earnings, consumer spending, and the labor market were strong, while inflation remained low.
Stock markets rallied, retreated, and rebounded to record highs
Early in the first quarter, stocks rallied as US-China trade negotiations appeared to be progressing, the Fed signaled that it planned to pause from hiking rates unless warranted, the US government’s partial shutdown ended, and corporate earnings rose sharply despite slower growth. The S&P 500 jumped nearly 8.0% in January alone.
Stocks sold off in May as trade-war worries resurfaced. However, equity markets rallied in June in anticipation of possible rate cuts and on hopes for a trade deal. During the first half of 2019, the Fed maintained its interest rate target.
Trade concerns re-emerged in the third quarter amid signs of slowing growth and renewed trade frictions. With inflation below its target, the Fed cut rates in July for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008 as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the US economy’s expansion and withstand the risk of a global economic slowdown and further drop in business investment.
In August, concerns about tariffs, the growth of China’s industrial output, and the global economy intensified, driving investors toward less-risky investments like US Treasuries. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note, which moves opposite to its price, briefly dropped below the rate on two-year Treasuries. Although many analysts didn’t interpret this particular “yield curve inversion” as indicative of a looming recession, as they often have in the past, stock prices — particularly in emerging markets — dropped sharply.
Although the Fed cut rates again in September and October to a range of 1.50%-1.75%, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank did not plan to cut rates further unless incoming information required its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed did not adjust rates through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, US stock indexes surged to new highs and emerging market stocks rallied amid reports the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Eurozone stock markets rose in reaction to improved economic results from Germany. United Kingdom investors were encouraged by the outcome of December elections that many hope will lead to a smoother potential exit of the UK from the European Union.
All S&P 500 sectors rose
The best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 were information technology (+50.3%), communication services (+32.7%), and financials (+32.1%). Next in line were industrials (+29.4%), real estate (+29.0%), consumer discretionary (+27.9%), consumer staples (+27.6%), utilities (+26.4%), materials (+24.6%), health care (+20.8%), and energy (+11.8%).

Growth outperformed value, large-cap stocks topped small caps
For the year, the Russell 3000® Growth Index returned 35.85%, outperforming the Russell 3000® Value Index, which rose 26.26%. Large-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Index, rose 31.43%. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 30.54%, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index lagged yet still returned 25.52%.
International stocks collectively rose but underperformed US equities
Stocks trading in emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 18.4% for the year. Notable top-performing country components in the index included Russia (+50.9%), supported by a jump in oil prices, Taiwan (+36.4%), Brazil (+26.3%), and China (23.5%). Taiwan’s and China’s markets advanced in the fourth quarter as trade frictions diminished, although weak economic data from China dampened investor sentiment during the year. Notable countries that underperformed the index but still contributed positively to performance included South Korea (+12.5%), Mexico (+11.4%), and India (+7.6%). Malaysia (-2.0%) detracted from the index’s performance.
Equities in developed markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 22.01%. For the year, the MSCI Europe Index rose 23.77%, the MSCI UK Index returned 21.05%, and the MSCI Japan Index rose 19.61%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In 2019, for the first time in more than a decade, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates to help sustain the US economy’s expansion in the face of slowing global economic growth and US-China trade-war risks. The central bank was merely one of dozens that reduced rates throughout the year, igniting rallies in numerous global bond markets. During 2019, emerging markets debt, US high yield bonds, and corporate investment-grade bonds delivered robust returns, yet US government bonds and many other fixed income categories also posted solid results.
In the US, the economy grew at a healthy but slow pace. Although real gross domestic product (GDP) growth dropped from 3.1% (annualized) in the first quarter to 2.1% in the third, the economy continued to expand. (Fourth-quarter GDP data had not been released when this overview was published.) The national unemployment rate dropped to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September, corporate earnings were generally strong, and inflation remained low. Elsewhere, the European economy grew weakly. Notably, China’s growth rate dropped significantly from 6.6% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019.
Bond markets fluctuated but closed higher
During the first quarter of 2019, global growth expectations softened. The Fed, which increased rates four times in 2018, signaled it would pause from hiking rates further based on its outlook at the time, sending bond markets higher. US high yield and emerging market bond prices rose sharply, supported by a tailwind of receding tariff worries and favorable corporate earnings.
In May, worries about the US-China trade war surfaced again. US Treasuries rallied while riskier assets such as high yield bonds dropped in price. The following month, however, the Fed hinted at the possibility of interest rate cuts ahead, trade fears cooled, and the high yield bond market rebounded. The Fed did not adjust rates during the first half of the year.
In July, the global economy showed signs of a slowdown and tariff fears returned. Later that month, for the first time since the financial crisis in 2008, the Fed cut rates as a pre-emptive measure to help sustain the expansion of the US economy and provide a cushion against the risk of a global economic slowdown. During August, the yield on 10-year US Treasuries dropped below yields on two-year Treasuries. Historically, when yields on longer-term Treasuries fall below yields on shorter-term issues, recessions have often followed. While many analysts questioned the “yield curve inversion” as a recessionary indicator in this instance, investors concerned about the economy gravitated to “safe-haven” securities like longer-term US Treasuries and other high-quality credits.
The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.59% in August. US high yield bonds finished virtually flat, whereas emerging market sovereign debt markets dropped sharply due in part to a stronger US dollar versus most currencies.
In September, the Fed cut rates again and the European Central Bank restarted its bond-buying program to help stimulate the eurozone economy after rolling it back the previous year. After the Fed dropped its rate target to a range of 1.50% to 1.75% in October, Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that the central bank had no plans for further cuts unless incoming data compelled its members to materially reassess their outlook for the economy. As expected, the Fed maintained its rate target through the remainder of the year.
During the fourth quarter, stronger-than-expected economic data and reports that the US and China were moving toward a “phase one” partial trade deal led to a “risk-on” rally. (The agreement was signed in January 2020 after the reporting period ended.) Over the final month of the year, high yield bonds and emerging markets bonds posted solid gains, while investment-grade US bonds dropped slightly.

Emerging market debt and high yield bonds surged by double digits
For the year, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (unhedged), which measures global investment-grade debt performance, returned 6.84%. (All returns cited are in US dollars.) Bonds trading in the US, based on the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, rose 8.72%. The US index’s leading component sectors included investment-grade corporate bonds (+14.5%), which benefited from the interest rate cuts and solid fundamentals, along with Treasury inflation-protected securities (+8.4%), commercial mortgage-backed securities (+8.3%), and US Treasury securities (+6.9%). Treasuries with longer maturities rallied in the second and third quarters when trade tensions escalated, which triggered a “flight to quality.” The 10-year US Treasury note’s yield, which moves opposite to its price, opened 2019 at approximately 2.65% and closed the year at 1.92% as trade tensions eased.
The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 7.54% for the year. US high yield bonds (debt rated below investment grade), as measured by the ICE BofAML US Cash High Yield Index, returned 14.40%. Accommodative monetary policies, strong corporate earnings, and investors’ quest for enhanced yield supported demand for high yield opportunities. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index surged 15.04%. Despite a strong US dollar (relative to most currencies), sovereign debt yields in general drifted lower as inflation was contained in many countries, providing their central banks with latitude to reduce interest rates, which bolstered bond prices.

$10,000 INVESTED OVER 10 YEARS
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio’s Class I shares returned 28.93% and Class II shares returned 28.40%. The Portfolio’s Class I & II shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Index and the S&P 500 Index.
The Portfolio’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
What were market conditions during the reporting period?
US equity markets were highly volatile in 2019, unsettled by US-China trade discord; softening economic growth in the US, Europe, and China; and geopolitical uncertainty. Companies across sectors cited trade tensions as the source of heightened caution in planning and investing. The US political landscape was likewise unsettled, as investigations of interference in the 2016 presidential election unfolded, impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump proceeded, and the 2020 election cycle ramped up. US economic activity showed signs of tempering, with job growth and business activity moderating.
The S&P 500 Index rose 31.46% in 2019, as all 11 sectors within the index posted positive total returns. Index gains came predominately from the information technology sector, which comprised just over 30% of the index’s total return. Financials and communication services also drove gains. Energy, materials, and real estate — while still in positive return territory — lagged the other sectors. Top index individual stock contributors included Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Facebook Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Top detractors included Pfizer Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corp., PG&E Corp, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., and The Kraft Heinz Co.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?
Holdings within the information technology sector contributed to the Portfolio’s overall performance, specifically allocations to the systems software and application software segments. Information technology holdings such as Microsoft, Mastercard Inc., and Apple were among the top absolute contributors to the Portfolio’s performance for the period. Mastercard delivered solid revenues, and its earnings exceeded consensus estimates while seeing solid growth in gross dollar volume — the total value of cardholder transactions and transactions processed — as it benefited from consumers’ long-term shift from cash to electronic credit and debit transactions. With its huge installed base, Apple is now benefiting from rapid growth in service business subscriptions and a potentially robust product cycle that incorporates fifth-generation (5G) wireless standards.
Positive stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector helped gains, driven by Lululemon Athletica Inc., The company’s new products, integrated marketing, and online sales momentum combined with a high-end customer base and athleisure fashion trends are driving strong customer traffic, sales conversion, and comparable-store sales. Other notable contributors included financial services giant JPMorgan Chase, as investors’ expectations for moderate but positive growth in gross domestic product, along with a stable yield curve, helped to shift market sentiment and lift financial stocks over the period.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Health care sector stocks struggled throughout the year after drug pricing rhetoric and “Medicare for All” political commentary seemingly took the oxygen out of the entire sector, including pharmaceuticals. Shares of drug maker Pfizer Inc. faced additional pressure after news of the potential combination of Pfizer’s Upjohn unit (off-patent branded drugs business) with generic pharmaceutical firm Mylan was ill-received by the market. SAP, the world’s largest vendor of enterprise resource planning software, faced challenges as it stepped up its cloud-based offerings. Shares of electric car maker Tesla Inc. struggled over the period amid ongoing controversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk, along with investor concerns about vehicle production volumes and sustained demand for its Model 3 vehicle. Despite the stock pressure, the company’s third-quarter earnings and free cash flow significantly beat consensus estimates on strong demand and higher margins, driven by solid sales of higher-priced Model 3 variants.

The Prudential Series Fund Fees and Expenses — unaudited | | December 31, 2019 |
As a contract owner investing in the Portfolio through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. This example does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, the costs shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract fees and charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during this period. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other investment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any contract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of the table is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different contracts. In addition, if these contract fee and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND
The Prudential Series Fund (“Series Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Series Fund is composed of seventeen Portfolios (“Portfolios”), each with separate series shares. The information presented in these financial statements pertains to the Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is a diversified portfolio.
The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term growth of capital.
The Series Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series Fund and the Portfolio consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Portfolio holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Portfolio to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reportingyear-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
Various inputs determine how the Portfolio’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Portfolio is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-end,non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
B1
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Manager regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series Fund has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Portfolio limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Portfolio may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its subadviser(s) and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities: Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Portfolio’s LRMP because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolio 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 current rates of exchange;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Portfolio does not generally 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 long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Portfolio does 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 period. Accordingly, holding period 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 the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of the Portfolio. For multi-sleeve Portfolios, different subadvisers who manage their respective sleeve, may enter into such agreements with the same counterparty and are disclosed separately for each sleeve when presenting information about offsetting and related netting arrangements for OTC derivatives. A master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty permits the Portfolio to offset amounts payable by the Portfolio to the same counterparty against amounts to be
B2
received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Portfolio to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending: The Portfolio lends its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Portfolio. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Portfolio securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Portfolio has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral.
The Portfolio recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Portfolio also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolio becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual. Net investment income or loss (other than administration and distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains (losses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. No provision has been made in the financial statements for U.S. federal, state, or local taxes, as any tax liability arising from operations of the Portfolios is the responsibility of the Portfolio’s shareholders (participating insurance companies). The Portfolio is not generally subject to entity-level taxation. Shareholders of the Portfolio are subject to taxes on their distributive share of partnership items. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains are accrued in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Such taxes are accrued net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced in Note 3. The Portfolio generally attempts to manage its diversification in a manner that supports the diversification requirements of the underlying separate accounts.
Distributions: Distributions, if any, from the Portfolio are made in cash and automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Portfolio. Distributions are recorded on theex-date.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an investment management agreement with the Manager. Pursuant to this agreement, the Manager has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”) (the “subadviser”), under which Jennison provides
B3
investment advisory services for the Portfolio. The Manager pays for the services of the subadviser, cost of compensation of officers of the Portfolio, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets of the Portfolio. All amounts paid or payable by the Portfolio to the Manager, under the agreement, are reflected in the Statement of Operations.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I and Class II shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolio’s Class II shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class I shares of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the Class II Plan, the Class II shares of the Portfolio compensate PIMS for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund has an administration agreement with the Manager, which acts as the administrator of the Class II shares of the Portfolio. The administration fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class II shares.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into brokerage commission recapture agreements with certain registered broker-dealers. Under the brokerage commission recapture program, a portion of the commission is returned to the Portfolio on whose behalf the trades were made. Commission recapture is paid solely to those portfolios generating the applicable trades. Such amounts are included within realized gain (loss) on investment transactions presented in the Statement of Operations. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was $5,937.
PGIM Investments, PIMS and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.
| 3. | | Other Transactions with Affiliates |
a.) Related Parties
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PGIM Investments and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the transfer agent of the Portfolios. The transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certainout-of-pocket expenses paid tonon-affiliates, where applicable.
The Portfolio may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Core Fund”) and its securities lending cash collateral in the PGIM Institutional Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”), each a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Portfolio’s investments in the mentioned underlying funds, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Fund and Money Market Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income” and “Income from securities lending, net”, respectively.
The Portfolio may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule17a-7 procedures. Rule17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Series Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series Fund’sRule 17a-7 procedures. For the reporting period ended December 31, 2019, no such transactions were entered into by the Portfolio.
b.) Securities Lending and Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaim Matters
B4
In September 2019, the Manager reached a settlement with the SEC relating to the securities lending and foreign withholding tax reclaim matters described below. Under the settlement, the Manager agreed to pay to the SEC disgorgement of fees and a civil penalty. The settlement does not affect the Manager’s ability to manage the Portfolio.
In February 2016, Prudential, the parent company of the Manager, self-reported to the SEC and certain other regulators that, in some cases, it failed to maximize securities lending income for certain Portfolios of the Series Fund due to a long-standing restriction benefitting Prudential. The Board was not notified of the restriction until after it had been removed. Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the estimated loss associated with the unauthorized restriction. At the Board’s direction, this payment occurred on June 30, 2016. The estimated opportunity loss was calculated by an independent consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the independent trustees of the Portfolios. The per share amount of opportunity loss payment to the Portfolios is disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In March 2018, Prudential further notified the SEC that it failed to timely reimburse certain Portfolios for amounts due under protocols established to ensure that the Portfolios were not harmed as a result of their tax status as partnerships instead of regulated investment companies (RICs). Specifically, as a result of their partnership status, the Portfolios are subject to higher foreign withholding tax rates on dividend and interest income in certain foreign jurisdictions and/or are subject to delays in repayment of taxes withheld by certain foreign jurisdictions (collectively, “excess withholding tax”). Prudential’s protocols were intended to protect the Portfolios from these differences and delays. In consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential paid each of the affected Portfolios an amount equal to the excess withholding tax in addition to an amount equal to the applicable Portfolio’s rate of return (“opportunity loss”) applied to these excess withholding tax amounts for periods from the various transaction dates, beginning January 2, 2006 (the date when the Portfolios were converted to partnerships for tax purposes), through February 28, 2018 (the date through which the previously established protocols were not uniformly implemented). The amount due to each Portfolio was calculated by Prudential with the help of a third-party consultant. Those amounts and the methodology used by Prudential to derive them, were evaluated and confirmed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The excess withholding tax analysis considered detriments to the Portfolios due to their tax status as partnerships arising from both timing differences (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) as described above as well as permanent tax detriments (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is not reclaimable). Further, the opportunity loss due to each Portfolio also was calculated by a third-party consultant hired by Prudential whose calculation methodology was subsequently reviewed by a consultant retained by the Series Fund’s independent trustees. The aggregate previously unreimbursed excess withholding tax and/or opportunity loss payments for the Portfolio are disclosed in the Portfolio’s “Statements of Changes in Net Assets” and “Financial Highlights” as “Capital Contributions” for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In addition to the above, Prudential committed to the Series Fund’s independent trustees that it would pay all consulting, legal, audit, and other charges, fees and expenses incurred with the matters described above. Prudential has made and continues to make these payments.
During the reporting period and in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees, Prudential instituted a process to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any future excess withholding tax on the first business day following the pay date of the applicable dividend or interest income event regardless of whether the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences or permanent detriments resulting from the Portfolios’ partnership tax status.
In cases in which the excess withholding tax is due to timing differences and is reclaimable from the foreign jurisdiction, the affected Portfolios have the ability to recover the excess withholding tax withheld by filing a reclaim with the relevant foreign tax authority. To avoid a Portfolio receiving and retaining a duplicate payment for the same excess withholding tax, payments received by an applicable Portfolio from a foreign tax authority for reclaims for which a Portfolio previously received reimbursement from Prudential will be payable to Prudential. Pending tax reclaim amounts due to Prudential for excess withholding tax which Prudential previously paid to the Portfolios are reported as “Payable to affiliate” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities” and any amounts accrued but not yet reimbursed by Prudential for excess withholding tax is recorded as “Receivable from affiliate” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The full amount of tax reclaims due to a Portfolio, inclusive of timing differences and routine tax reclaims for foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios do not incur an excess withholding tax is included as “Tax reclaim receivable” on the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” To the extent that there are costs associated with
B5
the filing of any reclaim attributable to excess withholding tax, those costs are borne by Prudential.
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the year ended December 31, 2019, were $110,537,791 and $135,312,114, respectively.
A summary of the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of shares of affiliated investments for the year ended December 31, 2019, is presented as follows:

| * | The Fund did not have any capital gain distributions during the reporting period. |
| ** | Represents the affiliated amount of securities lending income shown on the Statement of Operations. |
The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The character of the cash distributions, if any, made by the partnership is generally classified as nontaxable return of capital distributions. After each fiscal year each shareholder of record will receive information regarding their distributive allocable share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses and deductions.
With respect to the Portfolio, book cost of assets differs from tax cost of assets as a result of the Portfolio’s adoption of a mark to market method of accounting for tax purposes. Under this method, tax cost of assets will approximate fair market value.
The Manager has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Portfolio’s U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are subject to such review.
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The table below provides details of the current SCA in effect at the reportingperiod-end as well as the prior SCA.
| | | | |
| | Current SCA | | Prior SCA |
Term of Commitment | | 10/3/2019 – 10/1/2020 | | 10/4/2018 – 10/2/2019 |
Total Commitment | | $ 900 million | | $ 900 million |
Annualized Commitment Fee on the Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.20% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent | | 1.25% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) theone-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent |
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity
B6
contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Portfolio utilized the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2019. The average daily balance for the 15 days that the Portfolio had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $410,267, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $1,216,000. At December 31, 2019, the Portfolio did not have an outstanding loan amount.
The Portfolio offers Class I and Class II shares. Neither Class I nor Class II shares of the Portfolio are subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I shares are sold only to certain separate accounts of Prudential to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (“contracts”). Class II shares are sold only to separate accounts ofnon-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts ofnon-affiliated insurers for which Prudential or its affiliates administer and/or reinsure the variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts issued in connection with the separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolio through subaccounts that correspond to the Portfolio. The separate accounts will redeem shares of the Portfolio to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.
As of December 31, 2019, the following number of shares of the Portfolio were owned of record directly or by other Portfolios as part of their investments by insurance affiliates of Prudential Financial, Inc.

| 8. | | Risks of Investing in the Portfolio |
The Portfolio’s risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks: The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Portfolio invests could go down. The Portfolio’s holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Portfolio can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Foreign Securities Risk: The Portfolio’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Market and Credit Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Portfolio’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Portfolio fall, the value of an investment in the Portfolio will decline. Additionally, the Portfolio may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Portfolio has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
| 9. | | Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Portfolio’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has adopted the aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU. The Manager continues to evaluate certain other provisions of the ASU and does not expect a material impact to financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF JENNISON 20/20 FOCUS PORTFOLIO AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Jennison 20/20 Focus Portfolio, a portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, (the Portfolio), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in thetwo-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more PGIM and/or Prudential Insurance investment companies since 2003.

As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee mustpre-approve the independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissiblenon-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 andNon-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related andnon-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 proposednon-audit services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Such proposednon-audit 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 topre-approve.
