| Market Overview — unaudited | | Annual Report | | December 31, 2022 |
| | | | |
Equity Market Overview
Across the majority of asset classes and regions, equities posted losses in 2022. Recession fears—spurred by the highest inflation in decades and aggressive central bank interest-rate hikes—were the main headwinds. Bond markets also suffered as yields spiked and the US Treasury yield curve inverted. However, commodities gained as oil and gas prices benefited from supply-chain woes following the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Equities end the year lower
US equity losses were widespread, as the large-cap S&P 500 Index fell 18.10%, the broad-based Russell 3000 Index declined 19.21%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index plummeted 33.10% during the year. Internationally, the MSCI ACWI Ex-US Index, a gauge of stock performance in developed and emerging markets outside the US, slid 15.57%. (Performance is based on net returns in US dollars unless stated otherwise and assumes reinvestment of dividends.)
Central bank activity dominates market sentiments
The US equity market suffered its worst year since 2008 as the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) aggressively tightened monetary policy in an attempt to lower inflation. The Fed raised its federal funds rate, which began the year at around 0%, seven times throughout 2022 to close the year in a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The impact of higher rates punished the housing market, as housing starts and building permits declined, largely in response to rising mortgage rates. While inflation remained high for most of 2022, markets cheered by year-end as both the Consumer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index had slowed. During the same period, unemployment remained historically low.
Energy prices and the US dollar both posted gains for the year. Oil prices spiked in the first half of 2022, at one point rising above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2014. Supply concerns were exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions against Russia. The US dollar benefited from rising rates, climbing 7.87% against a basket of developed market currencies.
US stocks swoon as inflation soars
Stocks started 2022 on solid ground, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high in January, but quickly retreated and spent the rest of the year in negative territory. Inflationary pressures reached multi-decade highs and the Fed began raising interest rates, sending markets lower. Geopolitical woes were heightened when Russia invaded Ukraine in February, creating new supply-chain issues. Economic data was disappointing, with US gross domestic product declining in both the first and second quarters.
As inflation increased and central banks worldwide hiked interest rates, equity markets briefly fell into bear market territory, defined as a drop of 20% or more from a recent high. Earnings expectations were revised downward as inflation began to crimp profit margins. Toward the end of 2022, equity markets began to slowly recover as inflation moderated.
Energy sector up, all other sectors down
In 2022, the top-performing sector in the S&P 500 Index was energy, rising 65.72% amid tight supply and rising demand. Other sectors posted negative returns, most significantly communication services (-39.89%) and consumer discretionary (-37.03%).
Tech darlings fall out of favor as value stocks lead
Recession fears drove large-cap technology equities sharply lower in 2022, as investors shifted away from the mega-cap tech stocks that they favored during the COVID-19 pandemic to more economically sensitive value stocks. Worries about slowing earnings growth led value stocks to significantly outperform growth stocks across market capitalizations.
During the year, the Russell 3000 Value Index declined 7.98%, significantly outperforming the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which fell 28.97%. The large-cap Russell 1000 Index fell 19.13%, the Russell Midcap Index slipped 17.32%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index dropped 20.44%.
Rising inflation and energy pressures sink international developed stocks
Central banks outside the US also tightened monetary policy in response to rising inflation, including the European Central Bank, which raised rates for the first time in more than 10 years. In addition to inflationary pressures, European markets faced energy-supply issues due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A tax-cutting plan to shore up the economy in the United Kingdom backfired, causing a near collapse of the British pound sterling and requiring central bank intervention. In December, Japan jolted global financial markets when it loosened the tight limits it had been imposing on bond yields.
Developed equity markets outside the US and Canada, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, declined 14.45% during the year, and the MSCI Europe Index dropped 15.06%. The MSCI Japan Index dipped 16.65%.

| | | | |
Emerging market stocks suffer
A surging US dollar, spiking food and fuel prices, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine hurt high-risk assets, including emerging market stocks, during 2022. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined 20.09%. While many emerging market countries began raising rates before their developed market counterparts, China—the world’s second-largest economy—was forced to trim key rates in response to slowing growth caused by its zero-COVID policy, and its lockdown measures were dropped by the end of the year. The MSCI China Index declined 21.93%.
Fixed Income Market Overview
In response to rampant inflation, central banks hiked interest rates aggressively in 2022, sending bond yields higher and prices significantly lower. Bonds failed to provide a safe haven for investors as carnage spread across most sectors, including government bonds, high yield issues, and emerging-market fixed income.
US Treasury yields increased dramatically during the year, sending the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index lower by 13.01%—one of the worst years ever for US investment-grade fixed income. Bonds issued by the US government and indexed to inflation, or TIPS, declined 11.85%. High yield bonds (i.e., debt rated below investment grade) as measured by the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index, fell 11.19%, outperforming their investment-grade counterparts. Emerging market debt, based on the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, declined 17.78%. (All returns cited are in US dollars unless stated otherwise.)
Central banks shift gears to fight record-high inflation
Across most of the world, inflationary pressures intensified in 2022, leading central banks to begin tightening monetary policy after injecting aggressive stimulus into their economies in 2020 and 2021. Consumer prices, particularly food and fuel, spiked and remained elevated throughout the year, as inflation rose to a 40-year high in many countries.
The US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate seven times in 2022. The rate began the year at around 0% and ended it in a range between 4.25% and 4.50%. While the Bank of England began raising rates in late 2021, the European Central Bank held steadfast until July 2022, when it raised rates for the first time in 11 years. Even Japan, which had kept interest rates below zero since 2016, altered its bond policy in December 2022, allowing 10-year yields to rise.
Labor markets remain robust despite slowing economic growth
Economic growth was uneven during 2022. US gross domestic product declined in the first and second quarters. While growth resumed in the third quarter, it was boosted by the largest rise in real net exports in over 40 years, which many economists do not consider sustainable. However, the labor market remained shielded, as unemployment remained low and hourly earnings steadily increased.
Commodities gain
Crude oil prices rocketed above $100 per barrel following the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February. However, gains were muted by year-end as recession fears increased. Further impacting energy prices was the decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its major allies to cut oil production in the fall, as well as efforts to cap the price of Russian oil.
Falling bond prices lead to yield curve inversion
Longer-term US Treasuries were one of the worst-performing sectors of the bond market in 2022, as the Bloomberg US 10+ Year Corporate Index dropped 25.62%, significantly underperforming its 1-5 year counterpart, which fell 5.56%.
The impact of rising rates sent bond prices lower across the spectrum. However, the negative impact was particularly strong for longer-dated debt, resulting in an inversion in Treasury yields. The 10-year US Treasury yield began the year at 1.51% and spiked over 4% before ending the year at 3.88%. Meanwhile, the shorter-dated 2-year Treasury note traded at around 4.42% at year-end. Yield inversion—when the yield on a shorter-term bond is higher than a longer-term bond—has been a historical harbinger of a recession.
Rising dollar pressures emerging market bonds
Emerging-market central banks began tightening monetary policy in early 2021, nearly a full year before the Fed, in their battle against surging food and fuel costs. However, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine increased pricing pressures further, and the surging US dollar—which had one of its best performances in years—threatened many emerging economies by making foreign debt payments more difficult.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Average Annual Total Returns | | 1 Year | | 5 Years | | 10 Years | | Since Inception | | 
|
Portfolio: Class I | | -18.80% | | 6.09% | | 8.96% | | — |
Portfolio: Class III | | -19.01 | | N/A | | N/A | | -8.27 |
MSCI World Index® (GD) | | -17.73 | | 6.69 | | 9.44 | | — |
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 Class III inception: 04/26/2021. 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. Unless noted otherwise, Index returns are based on the Portfolio’s Class I shares. |
The graph is based on the performance of Class I shares. Performance of Class III shares will be lower due to differences in the fee structure. Class III shares have associated 12b-1 fees at an annual rate of 0.25%, of the average daily net assets of the Class III shares. |
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the PSF Global Portfolio Class I shares returned -18.80%. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed the MSCI World Index (GD).
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Aggressive interest rate hikes by global central banks aimed at combating inflation that soared to its highest level since the early 1980s weighed on financial markets in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). In addition to higher interest rates, investors grappled with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and rising fears of recession.
Equity markets were under pressure for most of the reporting period. In the US, the S&P 500 Index declined 18.10%, its worst year since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Growth stocks endured an especially difficult year, with the Russell 1000 Growth Index declining 29.14% during the reporting period as rising interest rates had a disproportionately negative impact on the longer-duration nature of their expected earnings. Additionally, international developed equities declined 14.01%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (GD), and emerging market equities fell 19.74%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (GD).
The US Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate at the fastest pace in decades during the reporting period. The result was a 13.01% decline in the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index for the reporting period. Hawkish global central banks also put downward pressure on investment-grade bond prices, with the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index declining 13.02% during the reporting period. (Hawkish tends to suggest higher interest rates, opposite of dovish.) At the same time, spread widening, or greater yield differentials to government bonds, led to losses for riskier high yield bonds, which declined 12.71%, as measured by the Bloomberg Global High Yield Index.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, the Portfolio had average overweights of +1.27% and +0.61%, respectively, in its US Large Cap Value and International Value sleeves. This contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark. The Portfolio had average underweights of -1.25% and -0.96% in its US Large Cap Growth and International Growth sleeves. The Portfolio had an 0.33% allocation to cash, which modestly added to performance given all styles declined during the reporting period. Asset allocation added about 21 basis points (bps) to Portfolio performance relative to its benchmark, while selection effects detracted 87 bps. (One basis point equals 0.01%.)
Manager performance was mixed during the reporting period. In April 2022, the Large Cap Growth sleeve managed by Brown Advisors was transitioned to MFS. MFS subsequently outperformed its Russell 1000 Growth Index benchmark, but not by enough to offset the underperformance of Brown Advisors earlier in the reporting period. In International, the high-growth William Blair sleeve underperformed its MSCI EAFE Growth Index benchmark. Growth managers in general struggled as the rising global rate environment caused significant repricing of high-growth stocks. The Large Cap Value sleeve managed by T. Rowe Price was a solid performer throughout the reporting period, offsetting some of the negative performance from the other asset classes.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Aggressive interest rate hikes by global central banks aimed at combating inflation that soared to its highest level since the early 1980s weighed on financial markets in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). In addition to higher interest rates, investors grappled with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China’s “zero-COVID” policy, soaring energy prices, and rising fears of recession. In all, the reporting period was historically challenging for both global equities and fixed income.
Equity markets were under pressure for most of the reporting period. International developed equities declined 14.01%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (GD). It was especially difficult for growth stocks, with the MSCI EAFE Growth Index (GD) tumbling 22.69% as rising interest rates had a disproportionately negative impact on the longer-duration nature of their expected earnings. Emerging market equities struggled as well, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (GD) falling 19.74% during the reporting period.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Risk exposures had the largest negative impact on the Portfolio’s relative performance during the reporting period, as large underexposures to value factors (defined as lower price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios) as well overexposures to earnings momentum and volatility factors all sharply detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. This was in contrast to the three previous years when these exposures helped significantly. All of the Portfolio’s subadvisors (Jennison, Neuberger Berman, and William Blair) had underexposures to value factors, as this Portfolio is more focused on companies with strong earnings growth rates than on undervalued securities. Meanwhile, William Blair and Jennison had overexposures to earnings momentum factors. William Blair incorporates momentum as part of its process, while Jennison’s momentum exposure was more of a residual of its bottom-up stock selection process. To summarize, the market favored value over growth characteristics during the reporting period, as interest rates rose and investors avoided the higher valuations associated with higher earnings growth rates.
Additionally, all three subadvisors were overweight information technology services and software stocks, which declined sharply. These are examples of high-growth stocks that are normally discounted once interest rates start to rise. Likewise, all of the subadvisors were underweight integrated oil and gas, as well as oil and gas exploration and production stocks. These stocks did especially well as oil and gas prices rose during the reporting period. Given that these industries are more capital intensive, they are normally not fast growers. As such, it was not surprising that these subadvisors were all underweight oil and gas-related industries. All industry weightings were within the subadvisors’ historical allocations.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)
From a country standpoint, all three subadvisors held Chinese securities during the reporting period, as these securities (especially the information technology stocks) had been some of the fastest-growing stocks in the world. China’s economy slowed in the reporting period due to its “zero-COVID” policy, and the Chinese market suffered accordingly. Thus, the subadvisors’ allocation to Chinese stocks hurt the Portfolio’s relative performance during the reporting period. On the other hand, some of this underperformance was mitigated by all of the subadvisors’ underweight to Japan, which has an aging population and slower growth rates. As a result, the subadvisors inherently tend to be underweight Japan given the Portfolio’s growth mandate. In the reporting period, Japan suffered as the Japanese yen declined versus the US dollar. Since the subadvisors were underweight Japan, the Portfolio benefited.
Finally, security selection overall detracted from the Portfolio’s performance in the reporting period. Specifically, all three subadvisors’ information technology (IT) and healthcare holdings detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. IT especially suffered as interest rates rose and many workers returned to the office. Meanwhile, some of the more growth-oriented biotechnology companies within the healthcare sector declined as growth rates and valuations came under investor scrutiny. Given the Portfolio’s growth mandate, the subadvisors faced headwinds because they favored companies in these faster-growing areas. Partially mitigating these detractors was all three subadvisors’ stock selection in the financials sector, which aided the Portfolio’s relative performance.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
After three years of strength, US equity markets experienced a volatile calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period), with the S&P 500 Index returning -18.10%—its worst year since 2008. Across market capitalizations, growth as a style was at the epicenter of volatility. Companies at the highest end of the growth spectrum entered this reporting period with two characteristics: high valuations when compared to history and high expectations. The US Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) abrupt shift to quantitative tightening sparked a sharp move higher in interest rates and future rate expectations, which, in turn, caused multiples (i.e., price/earnings ratios) to compress. Within the mid-cap segment of the US equity market, value stocks meaningfully outperformed growth stocks during the reporting period, with the Russell Midcap Value Index returning -12.03% compared to -26.72% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index. Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the energy (+40.23%) and utilities (+1.22%) sectors had the highest returns. The communication services (-42.54%) and information technology (-37.93%) sectors were the only sectors to post negative returns for the reporting period.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Stock selection and an overweight allocation within healthcare was the top positive contributor during the reporting period, as the Portfolio’s preference for companies with more stable and consistent business models was rewarded. Stock selection within consumer staples also contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance. On the other hand, stock selection within information technology was the top detractor, despite an underweight allocation which contributed positively. Stock selection within energy also detracted from the Portfolio’s performance.
EOG Resources Inc. (EOG) was the top positive individual stock contributor after benefitting from rising oil prices, which were driven by recovering demand and a gradual return of OPEC+ (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) production early in the reporting period. The Portfolio trimmed its EOG position following the sharp appreciation in oil prices in the first half of the reporting period but continued to have conviction in EOG’s focus on returns and cash generation through the cycle. Quanta Services Inc. also contributed positively after reporting strong quarterly results that highlighted continued strength within utility infrastructure maintenance and expansion. At the end of the reporting period, Quanta remained a top holding that the Portfolio’s managers believed was well positioned to benefit from accelerating utility-scale wind and solar deployments within renewables.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)
An underweight position in Enphase Energy Inc. was the top detractor from Portfolio results in the reporting period after Enphase posted strong third-calendar quarter results, driven by increased European revenues due to rising energy costs. The Portfolio initiated this position based on Enphase’s domestic focus, new product cycle, and long-term benefits from the Inflation Reduction Act. The Portfolio remained underweight relative to the index given heightened investor consensus expectations for Enphase. A position in Marvell Technology Inc. also detracted, as higher-multiple stocks, including semiconductor companies, came under pressure during the reporting period with growing concerns over sustainability of data-center spending. The Portfolio remains constructive on Marvell long term but is taking a cautious approach and tracking the company’s inventory levels.
Portfolio positioning at the end of the reporting period was skewed toward what its managers viewed as resilient, high-quality growth franchises with strong financial characteristics and solid fundamentals. While there were growing prospects within the higher-growth segment of the market, notably within technology, the Portfolio remained selective, only incrementally adding to names with strong financial profiles and underappreciated fundamental opportunities. Healthcare and financials remained the top Portfolio overweights, anchored in durable, steady growth businesses executing on company-specific catalysts. The Portfolio also identified emerging areas of leadership across sectors believed to be poised to benefit from increased spending toward renewables and infrastructure. The Portfolio continued to be cautious on companies exhibiting deep cyclicality and those with exposure to consumer end markets such as housing and autos. Information technology and real estate remained top Portfolio underweights at the end of the reporting period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The geopolitical climate during the reporting period exacerbated near-term uncertainty around the timing of commodity price normalization. Predicting the magnitude and duration of multiple exogenous factors—including weather-related issues, policy and recession risks, geopolitics, and broader economic supply-chain and inflation challenges—was complicated, and the Portfolio remained focused where it believed it had an investment edge—specifically, in the multi-year structural commodity call. Overall, the Portfolio’s bearish long-term outlook for commodities has not changed; and toward the end of the reporting period, it was adding to companies it believed to have strong core businesses and idiosyncratic drivers to help mitigate the risks of an uncertain environment. The Portfolio also favored beneficiaries of commodity deflation—including utilities, packaging, and specialty chemicals—as well as paper and forest products.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Precious metals and minerals posted losses, weighed down by interest rate hikes and a stronger US dollar, and so the Portfolio’s underweight allocation in the industry added value. The Portfolio’s overweight to US-based oil explorers and producers also boosted relative performance, as the industry generated gains due to elevated oil prices and meaningfully outperformed the commodities complex.
The Portfolio’s overweight in construction, farm machinery, and heavy trucks proved beneficial as well. The group surged during the reporting period as demand picked up due to expanding manufacturing activity and pricing actions to manage increased costs and supply-chain disruptions. Conversely, the Portfolio’s overweight allocation in paper and forest products, coupled with adverse stock selection, detracted most from relative returns, as the industry was pressured by weak demand, increased input costs, and elevated inventories. The Portfolio’s underweight position in the integrated oil and gas industry and its lack of exposure to oil and gas refining and marketing firms also hampered relative performance, as those groups benefited from elevated oil prices, particularly early in the reporting period, and outperformed the benchmark.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
At the beginning of calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period), the global economy was experiencing high levels of uncertainty about an expected slowdown from strong 2021 growth, high levels of inflation, the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on global supply chains and demand, and the expected unwinding of unprecedented levels of monetary and fiscal support. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine propelled already-concerning levels of inflation to new heights, prompting aggressive central bank tightening and contributing to significantly higher sovereign bond yields and a surge in the value of the US dollar. US stocks, particularly growth stocks, saw sharp declines during the reporting period, while the pullback in value stocks was more modest. The S&P 500 Index declined 18.10% during the reporting period. EAFE (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) stocks saw comparatively lower double-digit percentage declines.
Global bonds also fell, as yields rose sharply. In the US, the 10-year Treasury yield was 1.51% at the beginning of the reporting period and rose to a high of around 4.23% in October 2022, before easing back to around 3.55% at the end of the reporting period. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index fell 13.01%, making 2022 a year of sharp declines for both stocks and bonds. In an environment of rising interest rates, the 3-month Treasury bill outperformed both stocks and bonds, finishing the reporting period gaining 1.46%.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, the impact of asset allocation decisions on Portfolio performance was roughly neutral. While the Portfolio was overweight stocks relative to its benchmark index at the beginning of the reporting period, funded by an underweight to bonds, the Portfolio’s stock positions were soon reduced as the headwinds to risk assets became apparent, with the Federal Reserve embarking on its rate-hiking cycle and with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. By the second quarter of 2022, the Portfolio was roughly neutral in stocks. It had an out-of-benchmark position in EAFE stocks at that time, which was expected to be relatively defensive compared to US stocks. Further, the Portfolio had a significant overweight in cash.
This positioning was largely maintained during the third quarter of 2022. In the fourth quarter, while the stock positions were roughly maintained, the Portfolio’s underweight to bonds was reduced, given that bond yields had risen sharply in previous months. In addition, by the end of the reporting period, the Portfolio’s overweight in cash was gradually reduced to close to neutral. As for stock selection by the Portfolio’s subadvisor, it was a slight drag on the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. At the close of the reporting period, the Portfolio was positioned with relatively neutral exposure to equities, a small position in international equities, and neutral exposures to fixed income and cash.
During the period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. In aggregate, the use of interest rate swaps had a negligible impact on performance during the period. In addition, the Portfolio used futures 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 had a negative impact on performance for the period.

The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index (CDX) to manage credit risk. The use of CDX contributed to performance. Additionally, the Portfolio used S&P 500 Index and MSCI EAFE Mini Futures to maintain exposure to equities and provide portfolio liquidity. These futures had minimal impact on performance.

What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, the impact of asset allocation decisions on the Portfolio’s performance was roughly neutral. The Portfolio was overweight stocks relative to its benchmark index at the beginning of the reporting period, funded by an underweight in bonds. The stock positions were subsequently reduced because of increased headwinds for risk assets, including the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) embarking on its rate-hiking cycle and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. By the second quarter of the reporting period, the Portfolio had just a small overweight in stocks overall. It also had an out-of-index position in EAFE stocks, which was expected to be relatively defensive compared to US stocks. Further, the Portfolio had a significant overweight in cash, which was largely maintained during the third quarter of the reporting period. In the fourth quarter of the reporting period, the Portfolio’s underweight in bonds was reduced, given that bond yields had risen sharply in previous months and because the Fed’s rate-hiking cycle appeared to be closer to its end. In addition, by the end of the reporting period, the Portfolio’s overweight in cash was gradually reduced to a small overweight. As for manager performance, it was a significantly positive contributor to the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. At the close of the reporting period, the Portfolio was positioned with relatively neutral exposure to equities, a small out of-index position in international equities, and close to neutral exposures to fixed income and cash.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
From a starting point of low yields, tight spreads (yield differentials), and high equity multiples, the shift in fundamentals—most notably, high inflation—drove a wholesale repricing of markets in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). Concerns about central bank tightening, hard economic landings, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led credit spreads notably wider, while rate volatility increased as markets first began pricing in more aggressive Federal Open Market Committee policy tightening and then later began to price in a hard economic landing. (A hard landing refers to a marked economic slowdown or downturn.)
Against the backdrop of historic lows in unemployment and generational highs in inflation, central banks signaled an increased willingness to accept more economic and market pain than what was experienced over the prior decade of low inflation. A succession of federal funds rate hikes—by over 400 basis points (bps) in the reporting period—confirmed to markets that the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) was fully focused on tackling inflation. (One basis point equals 0.01%.)
As a result, enormous volatility continued to be priced into US Treasuries, with sharply higher front-end rates and lower long-dated yields forming a substantially flatter US Treasury yield curve before the curve finally inverted in the last six months of the reporting period. (A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) From 0.78% on December 31, 2021, the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread declined to -0.54% by the end of the reporting period. US 10-year Treasury yields began the reporting period at 1.51% and ended it at 3.88%. Meanwhile, the yield on the 2-year Treasury note ended the reporting period at 4.42%, a rise of 369 bps since the beginning of the reporting period.
Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) underperformed US Treasuries on concerns that the Fed may begin selling MBS if Fed officials need to step up their inflation fight. Meanwhile, high inflation and recession concerns generally kept securitized credit on a widening trajectory as well, with high-quality collateralized loan obligation (CLO) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) spreads trading well above their recent tights by the end of the reporting period.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, the combined impact of the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve strategies were the main drivers of underperformance. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates.) Individual security selection and sector allocation also detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Within security selection, positioning in US Treasuries was the largest detractor. This was partially offset

by selection in CMBS, CLOs, and agency securities, which contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. Within sector allocation, overweights relative to the benchmark index in CLOs, agency securities, and CMBS detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. This was partially offset by an underweight to MBS, which contributed to the Portfolio’s performance.
During the reporting period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. The use of interest rate swaps had a positive impact on performance during the reporting period. The Portfolio used futures to manage the Fund’s 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 detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
From a starting point of low yields, tight spreads (yield differentials), and high equity multiples, the shift in fundamentals—most notably, high inflation—drove a wholesale repricing of markets in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). Concerns about central bank tightening, hard economic landings, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led credit spreads notably wider, while rate volatility increased as markets first began pricing in more aggressive Federal Open Market Committee policy tightening and then later began to price in a hard economic landing. (A hard landing refers to a marked economic slowdown or downturn.)
Against the backdrop of historic lows in unemployment and generational highs in inflation, central banks signaled an increased willingness to accept more economic and market pain than what was experienced over the prior decade of low inflation. A succession of federal funds rate hikes—by over 400 basis points (bps) in the reporting period—confirmed to markets that the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) was fully focused on tackling inflation. (One basis point equals 0.01%.)
As a result, enormous volatility continued to be priced into US Treasuries, with sharply higher front-end rates and lower long-dated yields forming a substantially flatter US Treasury yield curve before the curve finally inverted in the last six months of the reporting period. (A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) The 10-year/2-year Treasury spread declined from 0.78% on December 31, 2021, to -0.54% at the end of the reporting period, while the yield on the 2-year Treasury note ended the reporting period at 4.42%, a rise of 369 bps since the beginning of the period. At the same time, the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill rose from 0.05% to 4.42%, while the 3-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) and SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) rose 455 bps and 425 bps, respectively, to end the reporting period at 4.77% and 4.30%. In the short-term credit markets, investment-grade credit spreads widened during the reporting period. The Bloomberg 1-3 Year Credit Index, a proxy for the short-term spread market, underperformed short-duration Treasuries by 0.10% during the reporting period. (Duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates.)

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
The Portfolio’s weighted average maturity remained shorter than peers during almost all of the reporting period before extending over the period’s final weeks as it became clear the Fed was nearing the end of its tightening cycle. The Portfolio’s weighted average life began the reporting period shorter than peers but extended in the middle of the second quarter of the period and remained longer than peers throughout most of the remainder of the period.
To take advantage of changing relative value between the sectors, the Portfolio shifted its positioning in agency discount notes, repurchase agreements, and US Treasuries throughout the reporting period. During the period, the Portfolio increased its positions in floating rate agency securities and agency discount notes, while reducing its position in short, fixed-rate US Treasuries to offset that trade.
Additionally, the Portfolio took advantage of changing floating rate spreads and shifted positioning across SOFR floaters accordingly. (Floaters are bonds or other types of debt whose coupon rate changes with short-term interest rates.)
* This strategy and performance overview, which discusses what strategies or holdings (including derivatives, if applicable) affected the Portfolio’s performance, is compiled based on how the Portfolio performed relative to the Portfolio’s assigned index and is viewed for performance attribution purposes at the aggregate Portfolio level, which in most instances will not directly correlate to the amounts disclosed in the Statement of Operations which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the PSF PGIM High Yield Bond Portfolio Class I shares returned -11.24%. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed the Bloomberg US High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index.
What were market conditions during the reporting period?
US high yield corporate bonds posted significant declines during calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period), as interest rate hike concerns, high and persistent inflation, and recession fears overshadowed the strength of corporate earnings and credit fundamentals. Retail demand for high yield corporate bonds remained negative throughout much of the reporting period, as a combination of slowing global growth and an increasingly hawkish US Federal Reserve drove outflows from high yield bond mutual funds. However, subdued primary market activity combined with a high volume of calls, tenders, and coupon payments provided a relatively solid technical backdrop. For the full reporting period, the Bloomberg US High Yield 1% Issuer Constrained Bond Index returned -11.19% on a total-return basis and -3.71% on an excess-return basis. By quality, higher-quality (BB-rated and B-rated) credits outperformed their lower-quality (CCC-rated) peers during the reporting period, as investors sought out the relative safety of higher-rated credits. The high yield primary market remained muted as issuers sat out the volatility. For the reporting period, high yield issuance totaled $106 billion, which was down from $483 billion in 2021. The 12-month trailing, par-weighted default rate (including distressed exchanges) rose to 1.65% as of the end of the reporting period—its highest level since June 2021.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, the Portfolio’s performance was driven primarily by overall sector allocation, with overweights relative to the benchmark index in upstream energy and electric utilities, along with underweights to media & entertainment and retailers & restaurants, contributing the most. This was partially offset by underweights to gaming/lodging/leisure and paper & packaging, along with overweights to cable & satellite and healthcare & pharmaceuticals, all of which detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Overall security selection detracted from the Portfolio’s relative performance during the reporting period, with selection in telecom, media & entertainment, and electric utilities detracting the most. This was partially offset by selection in upstream energy, retailers & restaurants, and healthcare & pharmaceuticals, which contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. From a beta perspective, on average, having less risk in the Portfolio relative to the benchmark was a contributor to returns during the reporting period. (Beta is a measure of the volatility or risk of a security or portfolio compared to the market or index.)
Among the largest single-name contributors to the Portfolio’s performance were positions in Chesapeake Energy Corp. (upstream energy), Ferrellgas Escrow, LLC (midstream energy), and Carvana Co. (retailers & restaurants). Overweights to Digicel International (telecom), Venator Finance SARL (chemicals), and Diamond Sports Group (media & entertainment) were the largest single-name detractors from the Portfolio’s performance.
During the reporting period, the Portfolio used US Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk, a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of cash bonds. The impact of futures had no impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. The Portfolio used credit derivatives to manage its overall risk profile, which positively impacted the Portfolio’s performance.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period) was challenging for equity markets, with major indices closing at or near their lows for the reporting period. Uncertainty and volatility were enduring constants.
In response to signs of an economic slowdown, around the world and across industries, many companies that had benefited most from the COVID-19 pandemic began to reduce headcount and take operational steps to mitigate expected weakness. Commodity prices continued their retreat into the end of the reporting period, despite the lingering impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. China took steps to ease its restrictive “zero-COVID” policy, resulting in a wave of infections, hospitalizations, and further economic dislocation as the reporting period ended.
Economic data reflected a mix of contrasting trends, with strength in employment, wages, and savings largely offsetting the effects of consumer price inflation, falling house prices, and waning spending by lower-income households. The persistence of labor-market tightness kept the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) on a tightening path, with the federal funds rate closing the reporting period in the range of 4.25% to 4.50%, levels last seen in 2007. Inflation was a global phenomenon, and central banks in many countries followed a path similar to that of the Fed, leading to a partial retracement of the US dollar’s significant appreciation since the end of 2021.
The S&P 500 Index declined 18.10% in the reporting period. Communication services, consumer discretionary, information technology, and real estate saw the biggest declines. The energy sector posted, by far, the largest gain. The utilities sector managed modestly positive returns, while other defensive value sectors such as consumer staples and healthcare were down slightly but held up better than the S&P 500 Index overall.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Relative to the Portfolio’s benchmark index, stock selection in information technology and communication services detracted the most from the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. Stock selection in healthcare, along with an overweight allocation to energy and underweight allocations to information technology and communication services, contributed the most to the Portfolio’s relative results.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Equity markets finished out a challenging calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period), with major indices closing at or near their lows for the reporting period as uncertainty and volatility endured. Persistently high inflation, resulting in part from accommodative fiscal policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, brought about a sharp reversal in monetary policy globally and an unusually abrupt tightening of financial conditions. In response, growth equities went through a grinding period of adjustment.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark index during the reporting period. This underperformance, in large part, reflected the higher expected growth and higher valuations of the Portfolio’s holdings. These valuations proved to be particularly vulnerable to the significant de-rating that occurred, as interest rates moved sharply higher. (A de-rating is a negative change in the rating of a stock’s or group of stocks’ expected performance, issued by a financial services analyst.) This was most evident in high-growth companies requiring very high reinvestment rates, often utilizing most, if not all, available free cash flow to fuel their growth.
Portfolio underperformance was also driven by the selection of positions with disappointing fundamentals. Two names with outsized impact were Shopify Inc. and Snap Inc. (Snap). E-commerce leader Shopify suffered a meaningful deceleration after economies reopened from pandemic lockdowns. Shopify has been working to right-size itself for a slower growth trajectory. However, Jennison reduced and ultimately exited the stock, as it became clear the need for reinvestment into sales, technology, and physical fulfillment networks would be more significant for longer than Jennison had envisioned. In the case of Snap, social-media stocks reported disappointing results in the reporting period, and the Portfolio’s position in Snap detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The company faced revenue pressures from Apple Inc.’s privacy changes, given the difficulty in demonstrating the effectiveness of target-marketing campaigns, which led to disappointing earnings. Jennison exited the stock, expecting resolution of these challenges to take some time.
Following significant outperformance, Tesla Inc. was an underperformer during the reporting period. Economic sensitivity began to weigh on automobile sales, including electric vehicles (EVs), in the second half of the reporting period, which prompted Tesla to make several pricing adjustments in the fourth quarter of the reporting period. In the US, the company offered incentives to encourage customers to take possession of vehicles before the end of the reporting period, in part to address buyer confusion regarding eligibility for upcoming EV tax credits. In China, pandemic lockdowns, coupled with the

ensuing COVID-19 spread upon reopening, severely impacted auto demand, particularly in Tesla’s segment. These factors were compounded by the negative impact of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter Inc., which closed in the fourth quarter of the reporting period after Mr. Musk’s unsuccessful attempts to walk away from the deal. Jennison lowered its estimates on Tesla to reflect these developments, which, along with elevated uncertainty broadly, led Jennison to reduce the Portfolio’s position in Tesla.
As a group, software stocks also weighed on the Portfolio’s relative returns during the reporting period. While many of the Portfolio’s software holdings reported recurring revenue growth in excess of 25%, the slowing economy led to longer sales cycles, postponed investments, and lower-than-consensus anticipated revenue growth. The resetting of growth expectations lowered the valuations investors were willing to pay for long-duration growth stocks, and Jennison reduced the Portfolio’s exposure to this industry accordingly.
On the positive side, Portfolio holdings in healthcare (Eli Lilly and Co., Novo Nordisk A/S), luxury consumer (LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE), and energy (Schlumberger Ltd.) helped the Portfolio’s relative returns during the reporting period. Adding exposure to healthcare stocks with strong fundamentals and positive multi-year catalysts was an important positive change in the Portfolio over the course of the reporting period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
Calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period) was challenging for equity markets, with major indices closing at or near their lows for the reporting period. Uncertainty and volatility were enduring constants.
In response to signs of an economic slowdown, around the world and across industries, many companies that had benefited most from the COVID-19 pandemic began to reduce headcount and take operational steps to mitigate expected weakness. Commodity prices continued their retreat into the end of the reporting period, despite the lingering impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. China took steps to ease its restrictive “zero-COVID” policy, resulting in a wave of infections, hospitalizations, and further economic dislocation as the reporting period ended.
Economic data reflected a mix of contrasting trends, with strength in employment, wages, and savings largely offsetting the effects of consumer price inflation, falling house prices, and waning spending by lower-income households. The persistence of labor-market tightness kept the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) on a tightening path, with the federal funds rate closing the reporting period in the range of 4.25% to 4.50%, levels last seen in 2007. Inflation was a global phenomenon, and central banks in many countries followed a path similar to that of the Fed, leading to a partial retracement of the US dollar’s significant appreciation since the end of 2021.
The Russell 1000 Value Index declined 7.54% in the reporting period. The information technology, communication services, real estate, and consumer discretionary sectors declined the most during the reporting period while the energy sector posted, by far, the largest gain. Defensive value sectors like consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare saw modest gains.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Relative to the Portfolio’s benchmark index, stock selection in the healthcare and industrials sectors, along with an overweight allocation to the energy sector and underweight allocations to communication services and real estate, benefited the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. Stock selection in the communication services and consumer discretionary sectors, along with a slight overweight to the information technology sector, were the largest detractors from the Portfolio’s relative results during the reporting period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
From a starting point of low yields, tight spreads (yield differentials), and high equity multiples, the shift in fundamentals—most notably, high inflation—drove a wholesale repricing of markets in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). Concerns about central bank tightening, hard economic landings, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led credit spreads notably wider, while rate volatility increased as markets first began pricing in more aggressive Federal Open Market Committee policy tightening and then later began to price in a hard economic landing. (A hard landing refers to a marked economic slowdown or downturn.)
Against the backdrop of historic lows in unemployment and generational highs in inflation, central banks signaled an increased willingness to accept more economic and market pain than what was experienced over the prior decade of low inflation. A succession of federal funds rate hikes—by over 400 basis points (bps) in the reporting period—confirmed to markets that the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) was fully focused on tackling inflation. (One basis point equals 0.01%.)
As a result, enormous volatility continued to be priced into US Treasuries, with sharply higher front-end rates and lower long-dated yields forming a substantially flatter US Treasury yield curve before the curve finally inverted in the last six months of the reporting period. (A yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds.) From 0.78% on December 31, 2021, the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread declined to -0.54% by the end of the reporting period. US 10-year Treasury yields began the reporting period at 1.51% and ended it at 3.88%. Meanwhile, the yield on the 2-year Treasury note ended the reporting period at 4.42%, a rise of 369 bps since the beginning of the reporting period.
US investment-grade corporate spreads widened significantly as corporates were challenged by elevated inflationary pressures, a slower growth outlook, and higher event and geopolitical risk. US high yield bonds posted significant declines through much of the reporting period as rate-hike concerns, high and persistent inflation, and recession fears overshadowed the strength of earnings and credit fundamentals. Securitized credit spreads, including collateralized loan obligations (CLO) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), also widened. The emerging markets sector posted negative total returns, and spreads widened as markets were pressured by tightening financial conditions and slowing growth in China and Europe. Meanwhile, agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) underperformed US Treasuries on concerns that the Fed may begin selling MBS if Fed officials need to step up their inflation fight.

Report of the Investment Manager - As of December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
During the reporting period, individual security selection and sector allocation were the main drivers of the Portfolio’s underperformance. Within security selection, positioning in US Treasuries, emerging markets debt, and investment-grade corporate bonds were the largest detractors. This was partially offset by selection in CLOs, high yield corporate bonds, and agency securities, all of which contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. Within sector allocation, overweights relative to the benchmark index in high yield corporate bonds, CLOs, and CMBS, along with a duration underweight to investment-grade corporate bonds, detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. (A duration underweight means having less exposure than the benchmark to higher-duration bonds. Duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates.) This was partially offset by an underweight to MBS, which contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. Within credit, selection in upstream energy, aerospace & defense, and midstream energy contributed to the Portfolio’s performance. Selection in foreign non-corporate bonds, banking, and healthcare & pharmaceuticals detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. The Portfolio’s duration positioning also detracted from performance during the period, while its yield curve strategies contributed to the Portfolio’s performance.
During the reporting period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. In aggregate, the use of interest rate swaps had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. In addition, the Portfolio used futures 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 had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index (CDX) to manage credit risk. The use of CDX contributed to the Portfolio’s performance for the reporting period.

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities experienced their worst full-year performance in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period) since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Peaking in the first week of the reporting period, equities continued a downward path through the end of the third quarter, before making up some lost ground in the fourth quarter of the reporting period. While most sectors posted negative returns for the full reporting period, commodity-related equities were an exception, advancing by double digits and further burnishing their credentials as effective inflation hedges. There was also a large disparity between growth and value equities, with the latter outperforming the former by more than 20% as sky-high valuations for growth stocks succumbed to rising interest rates and more realistic profitability outlooks. Despite the steep declines, valuations for US equities remained historically high at the end of the reporting period, supported by a favorable earnings growth outlook, especially when compared to other developed markets. Despite predictions of a mild economic recession in 2023, full-year earnings growth was still expected to be positive, albeit in the single-digit range.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Cash flows, brokerage costs, and other Portfolio costs and expenses caused the Portfolio’s return to slightly differ from the return of its benchmark, the S&P Small-Cap 600 Index (the Index).
In terms of positions, PBF Energy, Inc. and Helmerich & Payne, Inc. were the largest positive contributors to the Portfolio’s performance, while Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. was the largest detractor.
The Portfolio closely tracked the Index during the reporting period. Most of the buy or sell trades and trades made to increase or decrease the number of shares held in a position were traded market-on-close, or as close as possible to the end of the market day, to more closely track the Index. Securities lending income consistently added to Portfolio returns. The income was greater for small-cap equities because it is often more difficult to borrow shares of some of the small-cap stocks, which are not typically as widely traded as large-cap stocks.
The Portfolio had a small exposure to derivative instruments during the reporting period to help enhance liquidity, but the position did not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s performance.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the PSF Small-Cap Value Portfolio returned -14.65%. The Portfolio underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index and outperformed the Russell 2500 Index.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
The Russell 2000 Value Index (the Index), a proxy for small-capitalization value stocks, returned -14.48% in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period). The reporting period saw heightened volatility, with negative returns in the first three quarters and a slight rebound in the fourth quarter. During the reporting period, small-cap value stocks outperformed small-cap growth stocks overall. The fourth quarter of 2022 marked the seventh of the last eight quarters in which small-cap value stocks outperformed small-cap growth stocks and the first time value had outperformed growth in two consecutive years since 2005-2006. Within the small-cap value market segment, energy was the only positively contributing sector, while real estate and financials detracted most.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Stock selection in financials and communication services contributed positively to the Portfolio’s relative returns, while investments in real estate and energy detracted from relative returns.
Antero Resources Corp., an independent oil and gas company that engages in the development, production, exploration, and acquisition of natural gas, was a top positive contributor to the Portfolio’s relative returns during the reporting period. Supported by an increase in commodity prices, shares of the company rose to start the reporting period. The market also reacted positively to an earlier-than-expected share repurchasing program. Following a run-up in the stock price, the Portfolio’s position in Antero Resources was sold and proceeds of the sale reallocated. Professional services firm KBR, Inc. was another top contributor. Despite some volatility during the reporting period, KBR’s stock price ended higher after the company was awarded a $156.7 million contract to update the US Army’s Utility Helicopter 60 Variant fleet. At the end of the reporting period, the Portfolio continued to see upside potential for KBR given the opportunity for continued strong organic growth, capital deployment via mergers and acquisitions, and re-rating of the company’s sustainable technology business segment.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., an office, media, and entertainment property real estate investment trust (REIT), was a top detractor from the Portfolio’s relative return during the reporting period. Despite largely in-line or above-expectation earnings results, softer guidance and broad weakness in its peer group drove its stock lower. The market also reacted negatively to Hudson Pacific’s completion of its previously announced acquisition of Washington 1000, a fully entitled, state-of-the-art office development site in Seattle. Despite recent weakness, the Portfolio continued to hold shares of Hudson Pacific at the end of the reporting period, as leasing volumes were recovering, mark to market remained intact, and the company was aggressively repurchasing stock. (Mark to market refers to an accounting tool used to record the value of an asset with respect to its current market price.) Cell tower and data center REIT DigitalBridge Group, Inc. was another top detractor. During the reporting period, the data center space sold off broadly as a result of the rotation away from higher-growth sectors in light of the macroeconomic backdrop. The Portfolio exited its position in November 2022 on some strength and reallocated proceeds to what it saw as better risk-reward opportunities elsewhere in the Portfolio.

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 Class III inception: 04/26/2021. 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. Unless noted otherwise, Index returns are based on the Portfolio’s Class I shares. |
The graph is based on the performance of Class I shares. Performance of Class III shares will be lower due to differences in the fee structure. Class III shares have associated 12b-1 fees at an annual rate of 0.25%, of the average daily net assets of the Class III shares. |
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the PSF Stock Index Portfolio Class I shares returned -18.34%. The Portfolio’s Class I shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index.
What were the market conditions during the reporting period?
US equities experienced their worst full-year performance in calendar-year 2022 (the reporting period) since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. Peaking in the first week of the reporting period, equities continued a downward path through the end of the third quarter, before making up some lost ground in the fourth quarter of the reporting period. While most sectors posted negative returns for the full reporting period, commodity-related equities were an exception, advancing by double digits and further burnishing their credentials as effective inflation hedges. There was also a large disparity between growth and value equities, with the latter outperforming the former by more than 20% as sky-high valuations for growth stocks succumbed to rising interest rates and more realistic profitability outlooks. Despite the steep declines, valuations for US equities remained historically high at the end of the reporting period, supported by a favorable earnings growth outlook, especially when compared to other developed markets. Despite predictions of a mild economic recession in 2023, full-year earnings growth was still expected to be positive, albeit in the single-digit range.
What strategies or holdings affected the Portfolio’s performance?*
Cash flows, brokerage costs, and other Portfolio costs and expenses caused the Portfolio’s return to slightly differ from the return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the Index).
In terms of positions, ExxonMobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. were the largest positive contributors to the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period, while Apple Inc. was the largest detractor.
The Portfolio closely tracked the Index during the reporting period. Most of the buy or sell trades and trades made to increase or decrease the number of shares held in a position were traded market-on-close, or as close as possible to the end of the market day, to more closely track the Index. Securities lending income consistently added to Portfolio returns. The income was greater for small-cap equities because it is often more difficult to borrow shares of some of the small-cap stocks, which are not typically as widely traded as large-cap stocks.
The Portfolio had a small exposure to derivative instruments during the reporting period to help enhance liquidity, but the position did not have a material impact on the Portfolio’s performance.

Fees and Expenses — unaudited | | |
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, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
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 costswould have been higher.

| (c) | Represents payment received by the Portfolio, from the Investment Manager, in connection for costs incurred due to a portfolio allocation error. |
| (d) | Represents payment received by the Portfolio, from Prudential, in connection with excess foreign withholding tax withheld on dividends and interest from certain countries due to the Portfolio’s tax status as a partnership. |
| (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 dividends and 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 GAAP. |
| (f) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been 32.24% and 31.76% for Class I and Class II, respectively. |
| (g) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been (13.04)% and (13.45)% for Class I and Class II, respectively. |
| (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, certain derivatives and in-kind transactions (if any). If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices generally in active markets for identical securities.

Centrally Cleared Credit Default Swap Agreement on credit indices - Buy Protection(1): | | | |
CDX.NA.IG.39.V1 | | 12/20/27 | | 1.000%(Q) | | | 22,520 | | | | | $ | (97,932) | | | | | | | $ | (186,992 | ) | | | | | | $ | (89,060 | ) | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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 include up-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. |

CDX.NA.IG.39.V1 | | 12/20/27 | | 1.000%(Q) | | 32,130 | | $ | (139,820 | ) | | | | | | $ | (266,788 | ) | | | | | | | | | | $ | (126,968 | ) | | | | | | | | |

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 include up-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. |

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 GAAP. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |

If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

| | | | |
SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS | | | | as of December 31, 2022 |
Credit default swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 2022: (continued)
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 include up-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. |

| * | It is the Portfolio’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Portfolio. |

| (d) | Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day and a sale on the last day of each period reported and includes reinvestment of dividends and 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 periods 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 GAAP. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |
| (e) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution, which was not material to the total return. |
| (f) | Total return for the year includes the impact of the capital contribution. Excluding the capital contribution, the total return would have been (4.93)% and (5.31)% for Class I and Class II, respectively. |
| (g) | Does not include expenses of the underlying funds in which the Portfolio invests. |
| (h) | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short-term investments, certain derivatives and in-kind transactions (if any). If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

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 periods 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 GAAP. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |

| (h) | The Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate is calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements, without regard to transactions involving short-term investments, certain derivatives and in-kind transactions (if any). If such transactions were included, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher. |

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 GAAP. Total returns for periods less than one full year are not annualized. |

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 include up-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. |

2. Accounting Policies
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 is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 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 as of the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. As described in further detail below, the Portfolios’ investments are valued daily based on a number of factors, including the type of investment and whether market quotations are readily available. The Series Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the Portfolios’ valuation policies and procedures for security valuation and designated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to SEC Rule 2a-5(b) to perform the fair value determination relating to all Portfolio investments. Pursuant to the Board’s oversight, the Valuation Designee has established a Valuation Committee to perform the duties and responsibilities as valuation designee under SEC Rule 2a-5. 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. 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.
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 Portfolios’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Portfolio shares.
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 Measurement.
Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and derivative instruments, if applicable, 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.
B2
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 funds (other than exchange-traded 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.
Floating rate and other 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. Floating rate and other loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Floating rate and other 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 include 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 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 policies and procedures 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. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.
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 Valuation Designee 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.
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:
B3
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rate as of the valuation date;
(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 unrealized and realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. 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.
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 or 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.Across 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 and/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
B4
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. Certain Portfolios entered into options on swaps that are executed through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Such options pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the contract. The daily variation margin, rather than the contract market value, is recorded for financial statement purposes on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 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.
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 or 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. For OTC-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 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
B5
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.
Floating Rate and other Loans: Certain Portfolios invested in floating rate and other loans. Floating rate and other loans include 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 floating rate and other loans market. The Portfolios acquire interests in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) and/or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a floating rate and other loans assignment, the Portfolios generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and become a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a floating rate and other loans 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 they are 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 they have 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: Certain Portfolios entered into 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 is marked-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.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities: Mortgage-backed securities are pass-through securities, meaning that principal and interest payments made by the borrower on the underlying mortgages are passed through to the Portfolio. Asset-backed securities directly or indirectly represent a participation interest in, or are secured by and payable from, a stream of payments generated by particular assets such as motor vehicle or credit card receivables. Asset-backed securities may be classified as pass-through certificates or collateralized obligations, such as collateralized bond obligations, collateralized loan obligations and other similarly structured securities. The value of mortgage-backed and asset-backed
B6
securities varies with changes in interest rates and may be affected by changes in credit quality or value of the mortgage loans or other assets that support the securities.
Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest (“IO”) and principal (“PO”) distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Because no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statements of Operations. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.
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 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 to set-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 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.
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 or re-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.
Short sales and OTC contracts, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, forward rate agreements and written options involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. 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.
B7
Payment-In-Kind: Certain fixed income Portfolios invested in the open market or received pursuant to debt restructuring, securities that pay-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 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. The remaining open loans of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. 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, which are reflected in interest income or unaffiliated dividend income based on the nature of the payment on the Statement of Operations. 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 REITs): Certain Portfolios invested in REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from 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 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 the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Portfolios become 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
B8
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 amounts, at the time the related income/gain is recorded taking into account any agreements in place with Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”) as referenced below. 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 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 Portfolios, has a distribution agreement, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class I, Class II and Class III shares of the Portfolios. The Portfolios compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Portfolios’ Class II and Class III shares pursuant to a plan of distribution (the “Class II Plan” and “Class III Plan”, together, the Plans), 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 Plans, the Class II and Class III 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 and Class III shares. In order to support the Portfolio’s income yield, PIMS has voluntarily undertaken to waive the distribution and service (12b-1) fees of the Government Money Market Portfolio Class III shares, respectively, such that the 1-day income yield (excluding capital gain (loss)) does not fall below 0.00%.
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 year ended December 31, 2022, brokerage commission recaptured under these agreements was as follows:

PIMS, PGIM Investments, PGIM, Inc., PGIM Limited, PGIM Quantitative Solutions and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential.
4. 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 and shareholder servicing agent of the Portfolios. 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 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 the 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. PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services to the Core Fund and the Money Market Fund. 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. Effective January 2022, certain Portfolios changed their overnight cash sweep vehicle from the Core Fund to an unaffiliated money market fund.
Certain Portfolios 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/trustees, and/or common officers.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Portfolios’ purchase and sales transactions under Rule 17a-7 and realized gain

b.) Foreign Withholding Tax Reclaims
The Portfolios are considered partnerships for tax purposes rather than regulated investment companies (RICs). 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 instituted a process in consultation with the Series Fund’s independent trustees to reimburse the affected Portfolios for any 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 (i.e., jurisdictions in which the Portfolio was subject to a higher withholding tax rate due to its tax status which is reclaimable) or permanent 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) 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 partnerships for tax purposes.

6. Tax Information
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, 2022 are subject to such review.

7. Borrowings
The Series Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, (excluding the PSF PGIM Government Money Market Portfolio), along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Participating 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 | | 9/30/2022 - 9/28/2023 | | 10/1/2021 – 9/29/2022 |
Total Commitment | | $ 1,200,000,000 | | $ 1,200,000,000 |
Annualized Commitment Fee on the
Unused Portion of the SCA | | 0.15% | | 0.15% |
Annualized Interest Rate on Borrowings | | 1.00% plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the daily SOFR rate plus 0.10% or (3) zero percent | | 1.20% 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 Participating Funds in the SCA equitably.
The following Portfolios utilized the SCA during the year ended December 31, 2022.The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Portfolios utilized the credit facility.

8. Capital and Ownership
The Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the Trust’s Board of Trustees to issue multiple classes of shares, and within each class, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Portfolios. The Portfolios offer Class I shares and certain Portfolios offer Class II and/or Class III shares. All share classes are not subject to any sales charge or redemption charge and are sold at the net asset value of the Portfolio. Class I and Class III 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 of non-Prudential insurance companies as investment options under certain contracts. Class I shares are also offered to separate accounts of non-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.
As of December 31, 2022, the following number of shares of the Portfolios were owned of record directly or by other Portfolios as part of their investments by insurance affiliates of Prudential.

Adjustable and Floating-Rate Securities Risk: The value of adjustable and floating-rate securities may lag behind the value of fixed-rate securities when interest rates change. Variable and floating-rate bonds are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. In addition, the absence of an active market for these securities could make it difficult for the Portfolio to dispose of them if the issuer defaults.
Asset-Backed and/or Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are fixed income securities that represent an interest in an underlying pool of assets, such as credit card receivables or, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans. Like fixed income securities, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk, which may be heightened in connection with investments in loans to “subprime” borrowers. Certain asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risk that those obligations will be repaid sooner than expected or later than expected, either of which may result in lower-than-expected returns. Mortgage-backed securities, because they are backed by mortgage loans, are also subject to risks related to real estate, and securities backed by private-issued mortgages may experience higher rates of default on the underlying mortgages than securities backed by government-issued mortgages.
Asset Transfer Program Risk: Predetermined, nondiscretionary mathematical formulas used by the participating insurance companies to manage the guarantees offered in connection with certain benefit programs under the Contracts may result in systematic transfers of assets among the investment options under the Contracts, including the Portfolio. These formulas may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the Portfolio, which could adversely affect the Portfolio, including its risk profile, expenses and performance. For example, the asset flows may adversely affect performance by requiring the Portfolio to purchase or sell securities at inopportune times, by otherwise limiting the subadviser’s ability to fully implement the Portfolio’s investment strategies, or by requiring the Portfolio to hold a larger portion of its assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold. The asset flows may also result in high turnover, low asset levels and high operating expense ratios for the Portfolio. The asset flows could remove all or substantially all of the assets of the Portfolio. The efficient operation of the asset flows depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended which in turn could adversely affect performance.
Bank Loan Investments Risk: The Portfolio’s ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans (whether through participations, assignments, or otherwise) will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the Portfolio to receive scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan because of a default, bankruptcy, or any other reason would adversely affect the income of the Portfolio and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Even with loans secured by collateral, there is the risk that the value of the collateral may decline, may be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Portfolio may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. Further, the Portfolio’s access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy laws. In addition, loan participations generally are subject to restrictions on transfer, and only limited opportunities may exist to sell loan participations in secondary markets. As a result, it may be difficult for the Portfolio to value loans or sell loans at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Loans trade in an over-the-counter market, and confirmation and settlement, which are effected through standardized procedures and documentation, may have an impact on the length and timing of completing trades. To the extent the Portfolio invests in loans of non-U.S. issuers, the risks of investing in non-U.S. issuers are applicable. Loans may not be considered to be “securities” and as a result may not benefit from the protections of the federal securities laws,
B33
including anti-fraud protections and those with respect to the use of material non-public information, so that purchasers, such as the Portfolio, may not have the benefit of these protections.
Blend Style Risk: The Portfolio’s blend investment style may subject the Portfolio to risks of both value and growth investing. The portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio that makes investments pursuant to a growth strategy may be subject to above-average fluctuations as a result of seeking high-quality stocks with good future growth prospects. The portion of the Portfolio’s portfolio that makes investments pursuant to a value strategy may be subject to the risk that the market may not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for long periods of time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. Growth and value stocks have historically produced similar long-term results, though each category has periods when it outperforms the other. Issuers of value stocks may have experienced adverse business developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the stock to be out of favor. If the Portfolio’s assessment of market conditions or a company’s value is inaccurate, the Portfolio could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. Historically, growth stocks have performed best during later stages of economic expansion and value stocks have performed best during periods of economic recovery. Therefore, both styles may over time go in and out of favor with the markets. At times when a style is out of favor, that portion of the portfolio may lag the other portion of the portfolio, which may cause the overall Portfolio to underperform the market in general, its benchmark have a notable impact on settlement performance and other mutual funds.
Commodity Risk: The value of a commodity-linked investment is affected by, among other things, overall market movements, factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, and changes in interest and exchange rates and may be more volatile than traditional equity and debt securities.
Covenant-Lite Risk: Some of the loans or debt obligations in which the Portfolio may invest or get exposure to may be “covenant-lite,” which means the loans or obligations contain fewer financial maintenance covenants than other loans or obligations (in some cases, none) and do not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the borrower’s performance and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Portfolio in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. The Portfolio may also experience difficulty, expenses or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant-lite loans or obligations. As a result of these risks, the Portfolio’s exposure to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Portfolio’s net income and net asset value.
Credit Risk: This is the risk that the issuer, the guarantor or the insurer of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a contract, may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Additionally, fixed income securities could lose value due to a loss of confidence in the ability of the issuer, guarantor, insurer or counterparty to pay back debt. The lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
Derivatives Risk: A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which depends upon, or is derived from, the value of one or more underlying investments, such as an asset, reference rate, or index. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves a variety of risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, including the risk that: the party on the other side of a derivative transaction will be unable to honor its financial obligation; leverage created by investing in derivatives may result in losses to the Portfolio; derivatives may be difficult or impossible for the Portfolio to buy or sell at an opportune time or price, and may be difficult to terminate or otherwise offset; derivatives used for hedging may reduce or magnify losses but also may reduce or eliminate gains; and the price of commodity-linked derivatives may be more volatile than the prices of traditional equity and debt securities. The Portfolio is subject to a derivatives risk management program, which may limit the ability of the Portfolio to invest in derivatives.
Economic and Market Events Risk: Events in the US and global financial markets, including actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth, may at times result in periods of unusually high volatility in a market or a segment of a market, which could negatively impact performance. Reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide. In addition, it remains uncertain that governmental entities will intervene in response to market disturbances, and the effect of any such future intervention cannot be predicted.
Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of non-US investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic, political and social systems that are less developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. As a result, there could be less information available about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Manager or a Portfolio’s Subadviser(s) to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on a Portfolio’s performance. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to currency devaluations and rapid and unpredictable (and in some cases, extremely high) rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity, price volatility and valuation difficulties. Regulatory regimes outside of the US may not require or enforce corporate governance standards comparable
B34
to that of the US, which may result in less protections for investors in such issuers and make such issuers more susceptible to actions not in the best interest of the issuer or its investors. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investments by foreign investors, or that prevent foreign investors from withdrawing their money at will, which may make it difficult for a Portfolio to invest in such countries or increase the administrative costs of such investments. Countries with emerging markets can be found in regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa. A Portfolio may invest in some emerging markets through trading structures or protocols that subject it to risks such as those associated with decreased liquidity, custody of assets, different settlement and clearance procedures and asserting legal title under a developing legal and regulatory regime to a greater degree than in developed markets or even in other emerging markets.
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risk: From time to time, the Fund may purchase or hold equity or equity-related securities incidental to the purchase or ownership of fixed income instruments or in connection with a reorganization of a borrower. These include common stock, preferred stock or securities that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock—known as convertible securities—like rights and warrants.
Equity Securities Risk: The value of a particular stock or equity-related security held by the Portfolio could fluctuate, perhaps greatly, in response to a number of factors, such as changes in the issuer’s financial condition or the value of the equity markets or a sector of those markets. Such events may result in losses to the Portfolio. In addition, due to decreases in liquidity, the Portfolio may be unable to sell its securities holdings within a reasonable time at the price it values the security or at any price.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) Risk: An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund that has the same investment objective, strategies and policies. In addition, the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value and there may not be an active trading market for an ETF’s shares. The Portfolio could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down.
Expense Risk: The actual cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than the expenses shown in the “Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses” table in the Portfolio’s prospectus for a variety of reasons, including, for example, if the Portfolio’s average net assets decrease.
Fixed Income Securities Risk: Investment in fixed income securities involves a variety of risks, including that: an issuer or guarantor of a security will be unable or unwilling to pay obligations when due; due to decreases in liquidity, the Portfolio may be unable to sell its securities holdings within a reasonable time at the price it values the security or at any price; and the Portfolio’s investment may decrease in value when interest rates rise. Volatility in interest rates and in fixed income markets may increase the risk that the Portfolio’s investment in fixed income securities will go down in value. Risks associated with changing interest rates are currently heightened because any increase or decrease may be sudden and significant, with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Portfolio’s investments. Changes in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments in fixed income securities.
Focus Risk: The Portfolio focuses or may focus its investments in particular countries, regions, industries, sectors, markets, or types of investments and may accumulate large positions in such areas. As a result, the Portfolio’s performance may be more sensitive to a small group of related holdings and adverse developments in such areas than a portfolio more broadly invested, although the increasing interconnectivity between economies and financial markets throughout the world increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
Foreign Investment Risk: Investments in foreign securities generally involve more risk than investments in securities of US issuers, including: changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of foreign securities held by the Portfolio; foreign markets generally are more volatile than, and generally are not subject to regulatory requirements comparable to, US markets; foreign financial reporting standards usually differ from those in the US; foreign exchanges are often less liquid than US markets; political or social developments may adversely affect the value of foreign securities; foreign holdings may be subject to special taxation and limitations on repatriating investment proceeds; and certain events in foreign markets may adversely affect foreign and domestic issuers, including, among others, military conflict, geopolitical developments, interruptions in the global supply chain, natural disasters, and outbreaks of infectious diseases.
High Yield Risk: Investments in fixed income securities rated below investment grade and unrated securities of similar credit quality (i.e., high yield securities or junk bonds) may be more sensitive to interest rate, credit, call, and liquidity risks than investments in investment grade securities, and have predominantly speculative characteristics.
Index Tracking Risk: The Portfolio’s ability to track the performance and/or holdings and weightings of an index with a high degree of correlation may be affected by, among other things, transaction costs and shareholder purchases and redemptions.
B35
Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in interest 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.”
Investment Style Risk: Securities held by the Portfolio as a result of a particular investment style, such as growth or value, tend to perform differently (i.e., better or worse than other segments of, or the overall, stock market) depending on market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. At times when the investment style is out of favor, the Portfolio may underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but use different investment styles.
Large Company Risk: Large-capitalization stocks as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the Portfolio to underperform investments that focus on small- or medium-capitalization stocks. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may grow more slowly than smaller companies.
Leverage Risk: Using leverage, the investment of borrowed cash, may amplify the Portfolio’s gains and losses and cause the Portfolio to be more volatile and riskier than if it had not been leveraged.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk: The Portfolio may hold one or more securities for which there are no or few buyers and sellers or the securities are subject to limitations on transfer. The Portfolio may be unable to sell those portfolio holdings at the desired time or price, and may have difficulty determining the value of such securities for the purpose of determining the Portfolio’s net asset value. In such cases, investments owned by the Portfolio may be valued at fair value pursuant to policies and procedures adopted and implemented by the Manager. No assurance can be given that the fair value prices accurately reflect the value of the security. The Portfolio is subject to a liquidity risk management program, which limits the ability of the Portfolio to invest in illiquid investments.
Market and Management Risk: Markets in which the Portfolio invests may experience volatility and go down in value, and possibly sharply and unpredictably. Investment techniques, risk analyses, and investment strategies, which may include quantitative models or methods, used by a subadviser in making investment decisions for the Portfolio are subject to human error and may not produce the intended or desired results. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of domestic or global events, including war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters, or events, political or civil instability, and public health emergencies, among others. Such events may reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and significantly adversely impact the economy. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Portfolio will be achieved.
Market Capitalization Risk: Investing in issuers within the same market capitalization category carries the risk that the category may be out of favor due to current market conditions or investor sentiment. Because the Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in securities issued by small-cap companies, it is likely to be more volatile than a portfolio that focuses on securities issued by larger companies. Small-sized companies often have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies. In addition, smaller companies are typically more sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions and their securities may be difficult to trade.
Mid-Sized Company Risk: The shares of mid-sized companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can have an adverse effect on the pricing and volatility of these securities and on the Portfolio’s ability to sell the securities.
Participation Notes (P-Notes) Risk: The Portfolio may gain exposure to securities traded in foreign markets through P-notes. In addition to risks similar to those associated with a direct investment in the underlying security, such as foreign investment risk, the holder of a P-note is not entitled to the same rights as an underlying security’s direct owner and P-notes are considered general unsecured contractual obligations and are subject to counterparty credit risks.
Portfolio Turnover Risk: A subadviser may engage in active trading on behalf of the Portfolio—that is, frequent trading of the Portfolio’s securities—in order to take advantage of new investment opportunities or yield differentials. The Portfolio’s turnover rate may be higher than that of other mutual funds. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Portfolio, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities.
Prepayment or Call Risk: Prepayment or call risk is the risk that issuers will prepay fixed-rate obligations held by the Portfolio when interest rates fall, forcing a Portfolio to reinvest in obligations with lower interest rates than the original obligations. Mortgage-related securities and asset-backed securities are particularly subject to prepayment risk.
B36
Quantitative Model Risk: The Portfolio and certain Underlying Portfolios, if applicable, may use quantitative models as part of their investment process. Securities or other investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance for many reasons, including factors used in building the quantitative analytical framework, the weights placed on each factor, and changing sources of market returns. There can be no assurance that these methodologies will produce the desired results or enable the Portfolio to achieve its objective. A given model may be more effective with certain instruments or strategies than others, and there can be no assurance that any model can identify and incorporate all factors that will affect an investment’s price or performance.
Real Estate Risk: Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate-linked derivative instruments are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate. Poor performance by the manager of the REIT and adverse changes to or inability to qualify with favorable tax laws will adversely affect the Portfolio. In addition, some REITs have limited diversification because they invest in a limited number of properties, a narrow geographic area, or a single type of property.
Regulatory Risk: The Portfolio is subject to a variety of laws and regulations which govern its operations. The Portfolio is subject to regulation by the SEC, and depending on the Portfolio, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Similarly, the businesses and other issuers of the securities and other instruments in which the Portfolio invests are also subject to considerable regulation. Changes in laws and regulations may materially impact the Portfolio, a security, business, sector or market.
Small-Sized Company Risk: Securities of small sized companies tend to be less liquid than those of larger, more established companies, which can have an adverse effect on the price of these securities and on the Portfolio’s ability to sell these securities. The market price of such investments also may rise more in response to buying demand and fall more in response to selling pressure and be more volatile than investments in larger companies.
US Government Securities Risk: US Government securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates, a default by, or decline in the credit quality of, the US Government, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.
Yield Risk: The amount of income received by a Portfolio will go up or down depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates, and when interest rates are very low, the Portfolio’s expenses could absorb all or a significant portion of the Portfolio’s income. If interest rates increase, the Portfolio’s yield may not increase proportionately. For example, the Portfolio’s investment manager may discontinue any temporary voluntary fee limitation.
10. Reorganization
On September 20-22, 2021, the Board approved Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (the “Plans”) which provided for the transfer of all the assets of AST BlackRock Corporate Bond Portfolio (“BlackRock Corporate Bond”), AST PIMCO Corporate Bond Portfolio (“PIMCO Corporate Bond”), AST Prudential Corporate Bond Portfolio (“Prudential Corporate Bond”), AST T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond Portfolio (“T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond”) and AST Western Asset Corporate Bond Portfolio (“Western Asset Corporate Bond”) (Merged Portfolios) for shares of PSF PGIM Total Return Bond Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”) and the assumption of the liabilities of the Merged Portfolios, respectively. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on January 10, 2022 and the reorganization took place at the close of business on February 11, 2022.
On the reorganization date, the Merged Portfolios had the following total investment cost and value, representing the principal assets acquired by the Acquiring Portfolio:
| | | | | | | | |
| Merged Portfolios | | Total Investment Value | | Total Investment Cost |
BlackRock Corporate Bond | | | $ 9,114,989 | | | | $ 9,460,005 | |
PIMCO Corporate Bond | | | 9,915,524 | | | | 10,205,114 | |
Prudential Corporate Bond | | | 11,176,973 | | | | 11,586,726 | |
T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond | | | 7,744,789 | | | | 8,003,316 | |
Western Asset Corporate Bond | | | 8,362,026 | | | | 8,622,368 | |
The purpose of the transaction was to combine six portfolios with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies.
B37
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares on February 11, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Merged Portfolios | | | | | | | Shares | |
BlackRock Corporate Bond | | | | | | | | | 852,717 | |
PIMCO Corporate Bond | | | | | | | | | 928,846 | |
Prudential Corporate Bond | | | | | | | | | 1,080,646 | |
T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond | | | | | | | | | 759,459 | |
Western Asset Corporate Bond | | | | | | | | | 816,235 | |
| Acquiring Portfolio | | Shares | | | Class | | Value | |
PSF PGIM Total Return Bond | | | 3,070,515 | | | I | | $ | 46,303,369 | |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Merged Portfolios were carried forward to reflect the tax-free status of the acquisition.
The net assets and net unrealized depreciation immediately before the acquisition were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Merged Portfolios | | Unrealized
(Depreciation)
on Investments | | Net Assets | |
BlackRock Corporate Bond | | | $(345,016 | ) | | | $ 9,021,658 | |
PIMCO Corporate Bond | | | (289,590 | ) | | | 9,673,003 | |
Prudential Corporate Bond | | | (409,753 | ) | | | 11,257,526 | |
T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond | | | (258,527 | ) | | | 7,896,705 | |
Western Asset Corporate Bond | | | (260,342 | ) | | | 8,454,477 | |
| Acquiring Portfolio | | Class | | Net Assets | |
PSF PGIM Total Return Bond | | | I | | | $ | 1,244,085,296 | |
| | | | III | | | | 6,070,733 | |
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2022, the Acquiring Portfolio’s unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 would have been as follows:
| | | | | | |
| Acquiring Portfolio | | Net investment income (loss) (a) | | Net realized and
unrealized gain (loss) on investments (b) | | Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting
from operations |
PSF PGIM Total Return Bond | | $37,808,164 | | $(234,204,538) | | $(196,396,374) |
| (a) | Net investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations (Year ended December 31, 2022) of the Acquiring Portfolio, plus net investment income from the Merged Portfolios pre-merger as follows: BlackRock Corporate Bond $17,574, PIMCO Corporate Bond $20,230, Prudential Corporate Bond $25,681, T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond $17,718 and Western Asset Corporate Bond $18,488. |
| (b) | Net realized and unrealized gain on investments as reported in the Statement of Operations (Year ended December 31, 2022) of the Acquiring Portfolio, plus net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments from the Merged Portfolios pre-merger as follows: BlackRock Corporate Bond $(393,915), PIMCO Corporate Bond $(381,290), Prudential Corporate Bond $(526,669), T. Rowe Price Corporate Bond $(349,114) and Western Asset Corporate Bond $(374,895). |
Since both the Merged Portfolios and the Acquiring Portfolio sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Since the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Merged Portfolios that have been included in the Acquiring Portfolio’s Statement of Operations since February 11, 2022.
11. Subsequent Events
On September 19-20, 2022, the Board of the Advanced Series Trust and the Prudential Series Fund approved the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of AST International Value Portfolio, AST J.P. Morgan International Equity Portfolio, AST QMA International Core Equity Portfolio and PSF International Growth Portfolio (the “Target Portfolios”) into AST International Growth Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”). The shareholders of the Target Portfolios approved the
B38
reorganization at a meeting on February 8, 2023. It is expected that the Reorganization will be completed on or around March 10, 2023. Upon completion of the Reorganization, the AST International Growth Portfolio’s name will be changed to the AST International Equity Portfolio.
On September 19-20, 2022, the Board of the Advanced Series Trust and the Prudential Series Fund approved the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of AST T. Rowe Price Diversified Real Growth Portfolio and AST Prudential Flexible Multi-Strategy Portfolio (the “Target Portfolios”) into PSF PGIM Flexible Managed Portfolio (the “Acquiring Portfolio”). The shareholders of the Target Portfolios approved the reorganization at a meeting on January 24, 2023. It is expected that the Reorganization will be completed on or around February 24, 2023.

Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of PSF Global Portfolio, PSF International Growth Portfolio, PSF Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, PSF Natural Resources Portfolio, PSF PGIM 50/50 Balanced Portfolio, PSF PGIM Flexible Managed Portfolio, PSF PGIM Government Income Portfolio, PSF PGIM Government Money Market Portfolio, PSF PGIM High Yield Bond Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Blend Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Focused Blend Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Growth Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Value Portfolio, PSF PGIM Total Return Bond Portfolio, PSF Small-Cap Stock Index Portfolio, PSF Small-Cap Value Portfolio and PSF Stock Index Portfolio (constituting Prudential Series Fund, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein ended on or subsequent to December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of December 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein ended on or subsequent to December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of PSF Global Portfolio, PSF International Growth Portfolio, PSF Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, PSF Natural Resources Portfolio, PSF PGIM 50/50 Balanced Portfolio, PSF PGIM Flexible Managed Portfolio, PSF PGIM Government Income Portfolio, PSF PGIM Government Money Market Portfolio, PSF PGIM High Yield Bond Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Blend Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Growth Portfolio, PSF PGIM Jennison Value Portfolio, PSF PGIM Total Return Bond Portfolio, PSF Small-Cap Stock Index Portfolio, PSF Small-Cap Value Portfolio and PSF Stock Index Portfolio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose reports dated February 14, 2020 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.
The financial statements of PSF PGIM Jennison Focused Blend Portfolio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 12, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements 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 of these financial statements 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 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, 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. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

(d) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
THE PGIM MUTUAL FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent
Accountants
The Audit Committee of each PGIM Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve the independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
| | • | | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
| | • | | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
| | • | | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services.
Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed non-audit services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Such proposed non-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 to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services
The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| | • | | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| | • | | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| | • | | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| | • | | Accounting consultations |
| | • | | Fund merger support services |
| | • | | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| | • | | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories (except for fund merger support services) and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. Should the amount of such services exceed $30,000 any additional fees will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated). Fees related to fund merger support services are subject to a separate authorized
pre-approval by the Audit Committee with fees determined on a per occurrence and merger complexity basis.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| | • | | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |
| | • | | Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, |
| | • | | Sales and use tax compliance |
| | • | | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| | • | | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| | • | | Tax authority examination services |
| | • | | Tax appeals support services |
| | • | | Accounting methods studies |
| | • | | Fund merger support services |
| | • | | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process are subject to an authorized pre-approval by the Audit Committee so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $30,000. Any services provided under such pre-approval will be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting.
