Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the annual report for the Dryden Global Total Return Fund informative and useful. Because market volatility climbed sharply in 2008, we understand that this is a difficult time to be an investor. While it is impossible to predict what the future holds, we continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
A diversified asset allocation offers two potential advantages: it limits your exposure to any particular asset class, plus it provides a better opportunity to invest some of your assets in the right place at the right time. Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include mutual funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
JennisonDryden Mutual Funds give you a wide range of choices that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of four leading asset managers. JennisonDryden equity funds are advised by Jennison Associates LLC, Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA), or PREI® (Prudential Real Estate Investors). Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (PIM) advises the JennisonDryden fixed income and money market funds through its unit Prudential Fixed Income Management.

Judy A. Rice, President

The cumulative total returns do not reflect the deduction of applicable sales charges. If reflected, the applicable sales charges would reduce the cumulative total returns performance quoted. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Under certain circumstances, Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B and Class C shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5% and 1%, respectively. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge.
Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.
1The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)–Unhedged (formerly known as the Salomon Smith Barney World Government Bond Index–Unhedged) is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 23 countries that are selected based on market capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year.
2The Lipper Global Income Funds Average (Lipper Average) represents returns based on an average return of all funds in the Lipper Global Income Funds category for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest primarily in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar debt securities of issuers located in at least three countries, one of which may be the United States.
3The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A, Class B, and Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution and service (12b-1) fee of up to 0.30%, 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns, distributions, and yields in the tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The returns for Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The Dryden Global Total Return Fund’s Class A shares declined 12.19% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2008, underperforming the positive 2.08% total return of the benchmark Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)—Unhedged, and the 9.27% decline of the Lipper Global Income Funds Average.
How is the Fund managed?
Prudential Fixed Income Management manages the Fund, which primarily invests in government bonds, government agency securities, corporate bonds, and other debt securities rated investment grade from fixed income markets around the world. These bonds may be denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. The Fund may use a variety of hedging strategies to protect the value of its investments.
Research plays a key role in the Fund’s investment process. Senior investment professionals develop a quarterly market outlook that provides an overall view on the global economy, interest rates, risk levels in major bond markets, and the yield curve. The latter is a single-line graph that depicts the relationship between yields on short-term through long-term bonds. This outlook helps set broad investment strategies for the Fund. Portfolio managers also work closely with a team of 48 credit research analysts in selecting bonds to buy and sell.
What were conditions like in the global bond markets?
Rapidly rising delinquencies and foreclosures on subprime mortgages in the United States fed a credit crisis that roiled fixed income markets around the world during the reporting period that began November 1, 2007. Many of the risky home loans had been packaged into complex debt securities that were sold to financial institutions and other institutional investors in a variety of nations. Commercial banks in the United States, Europe, and to a lesser extent Asia were forced to take massive losses and write-downs related to subprime mortgages. Consequently, some commercial banks grew increasingly reluctant to lend to each other, to businesses, and to consumers.
Concern that the credit crisis would engulf the broader U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) tried to stimulate growth by repeatedly cutting short-term interest rates, lowering its target on the federal funds rate charged on overnight loans between banks from 4.50% in November 2007 to 1.00% in October 2008. Yet government data showed the U.S. economy, the world’s largest, contracted in the third quarter of 2008. For that matter, the global economy began to slow. Nations with export-driven economies like Japan suffered as foreign demand for their products weakened. The economic picture also darkened in the euro zone, the 15 nations that use the euro.

Not surprisingly, many central banks such as the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and The People’s Bank of China tried to encourage business activity in their respective nations by easing monetary policy in a coordinated effort.
Central banks also took unusual steps to support their respective financial systems. For example, when the credit crisis worsened dramatically in September 2008, key central banks joined forces to flood global money markets with U.S. dollars to support financial systems left reeling after the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a major Wall Street investment bank. In that momentous month, Barclays Capital purchased some of Lehman Brothers Holdings’ North American businesses, and Bank of America agreed to merge with Merrill Lynch & Co. The Fed allowed Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. to become commercial banks, effectively signalling the end of the era of large, independent Wall Street investment banks.
The worsening credit crisis fed a flight to quality that largely favored government bonds of economically developed nations over riskier debt securities. This trend, which intensified in the second half of the reporting period, enabled U.S. Treasury securities to post a 7.76% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2008 that easily outperformed other fixed income markets in the United States. Federal agency securities and high quality residential mortgage-backed securities managed to end the period with modest positive total returns. But some key markets declined, such as investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate “junk” bonds, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. A similar pattern played out in the fixed income markets of the euro zone and to a lesser extent in Japan. Meanwhile, emerging market bonds performed poorly, pressured by the risk-averse environment and concern that a possible global economic recession would squelch demand for oil and other commodities that are key sources of export revenue for developing economies.
What were conditions like in the global currency markets?
A flight to quality in the foreign exchange markets largely favored the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency. The greenback began to strengthen in July 2008 versus the euro and several other currencies as it became increasingly clear economic troubles in the United States were affecting other nations, particularly in the euro zone and the United Kingdom. Deteriorating global economic conditions meant there would be less demand for commodities. Therefore, the price of oil tumbled from more than $140 per barrel in July to end the month of October around $67 per barrel. This helped the U.S. dollar because it tends to move in the opposite direction of oil prices, but declining prices of oil and other commodities pressured emerging market currencies as well as bonds of economically developing nations.

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
How did the Fund’s allocation to global bond markets affect its performance?
The Fund’s benchmark, the Citigroup WGBI Unhedged, is composed of some of the largest, most liquid government bonds markets such as those of the United States, Germany, and Japan. The Fund had positions in many of these markets, including a smaller exposure to the U.S. Treasury market than its benchmark. This hurt the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark, as the U.S. Treasury market performed particularly well.
The Fund had positions in other U.S. fixed income markets such as corporate bonds, high-quality residential mortgage-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. It also had an allocation to emerging market bonds among other debt securities. The Fund invests in these types of bonds because they provide higher yields and more interest income than government bonds of economically developed nations. However, holding corporate bonds, whether rated investment grade or below, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and emerging market bonds detracted from the Fund’s performance because, as previously mentioned, these markets ended the reporting period in negative territory. Exposure to the high-quality residential mortgage-backed securities market did not work well for the Fund either. Mortgage-backed securities managed to post a modest positive total return for the reporting period helped by the U.S. government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but still underperformed the U.S. Treasury market.
How did the Fund’s foreign exchange strategy affect its performance?
The Fund had positions in a variety of currencies. The one that hurt the Fund’s performance the most was its underweight exposure to the U.S. dollar compared to other major currencies, particularly the euro. As previously mentioned, the U.S. dollar strengthened versus the euro and several other currencies as it became increasingly clear economic difficulties in the United States had spread to other nations, especially in the euro zone and the United Kingdom. Other positions that had a significant impact on the Fund’s performance were its overweight exposures to the Brazilian real, the Mexican peso, and the Turkish lira. These positions detracted from the Fund’s performance as the U.S. dollar gained against these three currencies.
How did the Fund’s duration strategy affect its performance?
Duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in the level of interest rates—a long duration increases its responsiveness, while a short duration lessens its responsiveness. Although Prudential Fixed Income Management typically does not take aggressive positions with regard to duration, the duration strategy employed during the reporting period had a negative affect on the Fund’s performance. Most notably, the Fund had a slightly longer duration than its benchmark to bond markets of Hungary, Poland, Brazil, Mexico, and Turkey in the first three months of 2008 and
| | |

in October 2008. During these times, negative developments in the credit crisis caused interest rates in these markets to climb, pushing their bond prices lower. The sell-off had a greater impact on the Fund because of its slightly longer duration.
How did the Fund’s yield curve strategy affect its performance?
A yield curve depicts the relationship between yields on short-term through long-term bonds. The slope of the yield curve becomes steeper when the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates increases, and it becomes flatter when this difference decreases. Prudential Fixed Income Management typically does not make large adjustments when positioning the Fund to benefit from expected changes in the yield curves of the various global bond markets.
Overall yield curve positioning employed during the reporting period had a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. For example, the Fund had a “yield curve flattener” strategy in place during part of the first quarter of 2008 in anticipation that the longer-term end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve would decline more than the shorter-term. The Fed repeatedly eased monetary policy during that time in response to negative developments in the credit crisis. Yields on shorter-term bonds, the most sensitive to changes in monetary policy, declined more than yields on longer-term bonds, causing the yield curve to become steeper rather than flatter.

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. 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 mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2008, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2008. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of JennisonDryden funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), is an open-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return made up of current income and capital appreciation.
The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in income-producing debt securities issued by the U.S. and foreign corporations and governments, supranational organizations, semi-government entities or governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities and short-term bank debt securities or bank deposits. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade securities denominated in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.
The Fund’s fiscal year has changed from an annual reporting period that ends December 31 to one that ends October 31. This change should have no impact on the way the Fund is managed. Shareholders will receive future annual and semiannual reports on the new fiscal year-end schedule.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation: In valuing the Fund’s assets, quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the then current currency value. Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange or market on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such a day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”), in consultation with the subadvisor, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and convertible debt securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Options on securities and indices traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange or, if there was no sale, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices on such
| | |

exchange. Future contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation 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 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 investment adviser 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 mutual funds to calculate their net asset values. As of October 31, 2008, there were no securities whose values were adjusted in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Directors.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the valuation.
Short-term debt securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities-at the current rates of exchange.
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses-at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

continued
Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.
Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from sales and maturities of short-term securities and forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, discount and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from valuing foreign currency denominated assets (excluding investments) and liabilities at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. companies as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political or economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
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 Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on financial futures contracts.
| | |
44 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
The Fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund 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.
Forward 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. The Fund enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the trade date and settlement value. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates with respect to securities, which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’s 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 a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund 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, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written.

The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Swap Agreements: The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements, forward spread lock swap agreements, and credit default swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest. Forward spread lock swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive a settlement amount calculated as the difference between the swap spread and a fixed spread, multiplied by the notional amount times the duration of the swap. The swap spread is the difference between the benchmark swap rate (market rate) and the specific Treasury rate. In a credit default swap agreement, one party (the protection buyer) makes 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 by a third party, typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country, on its obligation. The maximum amount of the payment may equal the notional, at par, of the underlying index or security as a result of a default (or “credit event”). In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, the Fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index, the possibility that the fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased comparable publicly traded securities, or that the counterparty may default on it’s obligation to perform. The swaps are valued daily at current market value and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.
Risk: Forward currency contracts, written options, financial futures contracts, and swap agreements involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Lower rated or unrated securities are more likely to react to developments affecting market risk (general market liquidity) and credit risk (an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest

payments on its obligations) than are more highly rated securities, which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or region.
As noted in the Portfolio of Investments, the Fund held securities issued by Federal Housing Finance Agency and American International Group (AIG). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship. With respect to securities issued by AIG or for which AIG is counterparty, the Federal Reserve Board, with the full support of the Treasury Department, authorized the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to lend funds to AIG. The secured loan has terms and conditions designed to protect the interests of the U.S. government and taxpayers.
Security Transactions and Net Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 the accrual basis.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions: The Fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, annually. Foreign currency losses may reduce the amount of dividends of net investment income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Withholding taxes on foreign interest are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those amounts.
Note 2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .65 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and .60 of 1% of such assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65 of 1% for the year ended October 31, 2008.
PI has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund in order to limit operating expenses (excluding distribution and service (12b-1) fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and certain extraordinary expenses) to 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, and Z shares, respectively, which for the year ended October 31, 2008 amounted to $99,097.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C 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 Z shares of the Fund.
| | |
48 | | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Pursuant to the Class A, B and C Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30 of 1%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, and C shares, respectively. Through February 28, 2010, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25 of 1% and .75 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received approximately $69,300 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended October 31, 2008. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to affiliated broker-dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Fund that for the year ended October 31, 2008, it received approximately $200, $6,900 and $1,800 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with two banks. The SCA provides for a commitment of $500 million. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is incurred at contracted market rates and a commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Effective October 24, 2008, the Funds renewed the SCA with the banks. The commitment under the renewed SCA continues to be $500 million. The Funds pay a commitment fee of .13 of 1% of the unused portion of the renewed SCA. The expiration date of the renewed SCA will be October 23, 2009. For the period from October 26, 2007 through October 23, 2008, the Funds paid a commitment fee of ..06 of 1% of the unused portion of the agreement. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions.
The Fund did not utilize the line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2008.
Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Fund pays networking fees to affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers including fees relating to the services of Wachovia Securities LLC (“Wachovia”) and First
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
Clearing, LLC (“First Clearing”), affiliates of PI. These networking fees are payments made to broker/dealers that clear mutual fund transactions through a national clearing system. For the year ended October 31, 2008 the Fund incurred approximately $81,000 in total networking fees of which approximately $29,100 was paid to First Clearing. These amounts are included in transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund invests in the Taxable Money Market Series (the “Portfolio”), a portfolio of Dryden Core Investment Fund. The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and managed by PI.
Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding U.S. Government securities and short-term investments, for the year ended October 31, 2008, aggregated $356,846,848 and $361,264,044, respectively.
Transactions in options written during the year ended October 31, 2008, were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | Contracts | | | Premiums Received | |
Options outstanding at October 31, 2007 | | 4,069,800 | | | $ | 408,819 | |

| | | | | | | |
Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividends date.
In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions and paid-in capital in excess of
| | |

par on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions and paid-in capital in excess of par.
For the year ended October 31, 2008, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $4,204,251, decrease accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions by $869,283 and decrease paid-in capital in excess of par by $5,073,534, due to reclassification of foreign currency gain, reclass of paydown gain (loss), differences in the treatment of premium amortization, expiration of capital loss carryforward and other book to tax adjustments. Net investment income, net realized gain on investment and foreign currency transactions and net assets were not affected by this change.
The tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets was $8,273,719 of ordinary income for the year ended October 31, 2008. The tax character of dividends paid was $4,055,699 of ordinary income for the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007. The tax character of dividends paid was $3,828,336 of ordinary income for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As of October 31, 2008, the Fund had accumulated undistributed ordinary income of $1,408,352.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2008, of approximately $18,370,800, of which $3,491,000 expires in 2009, $7,581,800 expires in 2010 $2,252,000 expires in 2014, $279,500 expires in 2015 and $4,766,500 expires in 2016. During the year ended October 31, 2008, approximately $5,073,400 of the capital loss carryforward expired unused. Accordingly, no capital gains distribution is expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. It is uncertain if the Fund will be able to realize the full benefit of the remaining carryforwards prior to the expiration dates.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of October 31, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustments | | Total Net Unrealized Depreciation |
$121,240,788 | | $2,024,717 | | $(17,875,358) | | $(15,850,641) | | $524,411 | | $(15,326,230) |
The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to the deferred losses on wash sales, difference in the treatment of amortization of premiums and
| | |

continued
deferred losses on straddles. Other cost basis adjustments are attributable to short sales, mark-to-market of receivables and payables, swaps, future contracts, forward currency contracts and written options.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on the federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of October 31, 2008, no provision for income tax would be required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Note 6. Capital
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.50%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% during the first 12 months. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.
There are 2 billion authorized shares of common stock at $.01 par value per share, divided equally into Class A, B, C and Z shares.

Note 7. New Accounting Pronouncements
On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157 and its impact, if any, on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for any reporting period beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 133-1 and FASB Interpretation Number (“FIN”) 45-4 (“FSP 133-1”), Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161. The FSP is intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives. It amends FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The FSP also amends FIN 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, to require an additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. Management of the Fund is currently assessing the impact of adopting FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2003, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated February 20, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2008, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 and the financial highlights for the year then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal Income Tax Information
(Unaudited)
We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year end October 31, 2008 as to the federal tax status of distributions paid by the Fund during such fiscal period. Accordingly, we are advising you that during its fiscal period ended October 31, 2008, the Fund paid an ordinary income dividends for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of $0.4421 per share, $0.3840 per share, $0.4101 per share and $0.4622 per share, respectively, which represents net investment income.
We are required by New York, California, Massachusetts, Missouri and Oregon to inform you that dividends which have been derived from federal obligations are not taxable to shareholders provided the mutual fund meets certain requirements mandated by the respective states’ taxing authorities. We are pleased to report that 9.46% of the dividends paid by the Fund qualify for such deductions. Due to certain minimum portfolio holding requirements in California, Connecticut and New York, residents of those states will not be able to exclude interest on federal obligations from state and local tax.
The Fund designates 52.16% of the ordinary income dividends as interest related dividends under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
In January 2009, you will be advised on IRS Form 1099-DIV or substitute 1099-DIV as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by you in calendar year 2008.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) oversees the management of the Fund, and, as required by law, determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 3-5, 2008 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2009, after concluding that renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with their consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined solely by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over one-, three-, five- and ten-year time periods ending December 31, 2007, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).
In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors they deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its shareholders. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 3-5, 2008.
The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and PIM, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.
Nature, Quality, and Extent of Services
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and PIM. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by PIM, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PIM’s portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and PIM’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both PI and PIM. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as to both PI and PIM. The Board noted that PIM is affiliated with PI.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by PIM, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and PIM under the management and subadvisory agreements.
Performance of Dryden Global Total Return Fund
The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance, noting that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (a custom peer group of unhedged mutual funds included in the Lipper Global
| | |
| | Visit our website at www.jennisondryden.com |
Income Funds Performance Universe) was in the second quartile over the one-year period, but was in the fourth quartile over the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the five-year period, though it underperformed its benchmark index for the other periods. In light of the Fund’s recent competitive performance against the Peer Universe, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory, but that it would continue to monitor and evaluate the Fund’s performance.
Fees and Expenses
The Board considered the Fund’s actual management fees (which reflects any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) ranked in the Expense Group’s third quartile and that the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the fourth quartile. As part of its review of the Fund’s management fee, the Board considered that the management fee arrangements for the Fund represented the result of several years of review and discussion between the Board and PI. In its review, the Board considered such things as the difficulty in managing the Fund, the size of the Fund, fees of competitors, Fund’s performance, expenses of service providers and such other aspects that the Directors deemed important in the exercise of their business judgment. The Board concluded that the management and subadvisory fees were reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI
The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes
| | |

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.
Other Benefits to PI and PIM
The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and PIM and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), as well as benefits to the reputation or other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by PIM included those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and PIM were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the past performance data quoted. An investor may obtain performance data as of the most recent month-end by visiting our website at www.jennisondryden.com or by calling (800) 225-1852. The maximum initial sales charge is 4.50% (Class A shares). Gross operating expenses: Class A, 1.49%; Class B, 2.19%; Class C, 2.19%; Class Z, 1.19%. Net operating expenses apply to: Class A, 1.36%; Class B, 2.11%; Class C, 1.86%; Class Z, 1.11%, after voluntary and contractual reduction through 2/28/2010.

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Dryden Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (October 31, 1998) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2008) as measured on a quarterly basis. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class A shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class A shares only. As indicated in the tables provided earlier, performance for Class B, C, and Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs). Without the distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% annually and expense subsidization for Class A shares in effect through October 31, 2008, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.
The Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of the government bond markets of 23 countries, which are selected based on market-capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year. The Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged’s total returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not include the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. The returns for the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses, or taxes. The securities that comprise the Citigroup WGBI–Unhedged may differ substantially from the securities in the Fund. This is not the only index that may be used to characterize performance of global/international bond funds. Other indexes may portray different comparative performance. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% and a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually, and all investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B shares are subject to a declining CDSC of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, for the first six years after purchase and a 12b-1 fee of 1% annually. Approximately seven years after purchase, Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares purchased are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 1% for Class C shares sold within 12 months from the date of purchase and an annual 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or 12b-1 fees. Without waiver of fees and/or expense subsidization, the Fund’s total returns would have been lower. The returns in the graph and tables reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants
The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
| • | | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
| • | | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
| • | | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services
The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| • | | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| • | | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Accounting consultations |
| • | | Fund merger support services |
| • | | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| • | | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |
| • | | 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 will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Other Non-audit Services
Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Proscribed Services
The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
| • | | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund |
| • | | Financial information systems design and implementation |
| • | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports |
| • | | Internal audit outsourcing services |
| • | | Management functions or human resources |
| • | | Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services |
| • | | Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit |
| • | | Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible. |
Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex
Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.
(e) (2) Percentage of services referred to in 4(b) – 4(d) that were approved by the audit committee –
Not applicable.
(f) Percentage of hours expended attributable to work performed by other than full time employees of principal accountant if greater than 50%.
The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was 0%.
(g) Non-Audit Fees
Not applicable to Registrant for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and fiscal period January 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by KPMG for services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and fiscal period January 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007 was $0 and $44,700, respectively.
(h) Principal Accountant’s Independence
Not applicable as KPMG has not provided non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.
