Dear Shareholder:
After leading Prudential Investments for the past eight years, I have decided to retire at the end of 2011 from my positions as President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the Fund). Effective January 1, 2012, I will become Chairman of Prudential Investments and act as an advisor to the business during 2012 to help facilitate a smooth transition to my successor, Stuart Parker.
Stuart, who will become President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Fund on January 1, 2012, previously served as the Executive Vice President of Retail Mutual Fund Distribution at Prudential Investments. With more than 20 years of investment industry experience, Stuart brings a deep understanding of the needs and challenges facing today’s investors.
We hope you find the annual report for the Fund informative. We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. 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.
Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan 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. We encourage you to call your financial professional before making any investment decision.
Prudential Investments provides a wide range of mutual funds to choose from that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers.
Finally, I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunity to help you address your investment needs, and I thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of mutual funds.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-11-355596/g258349g86j71.jpg)

Growth of a $10,000 Investment
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-11-355596/g258349g30q63.jpg)
The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index and Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)—Unhedged by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (October 31, 2001) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2011) 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, Class C, and Class 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 in effect through February 28, 2013, the returns shown in the graph and for Class A shares in the tables would have been lower.
Total returns and the ending account values in the graph include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
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.
The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. 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. 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%. Under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A, Class B, or Class C to Class Z shares, or from Class Z to Class A shares of the Fund. 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 will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge, but are subject to a CDSC of 1% for 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 tables and graph reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period.
Benchmark Definitions
Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index
The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of global investment-grade fixed income markets. The three major components of this index are the U.S. Aggregate, the Pan-European Aggregate, and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities.
Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI)
Note: The Fund no longer utilizes the Citigroup World Government Bond Index-Unhedged as its performance benchmark for performance comparisons and now utilizes the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index. The Citigroup World Government Bond Index-Unhedged is composed of domestic and foreign government debt. The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index is composed of diversified domestic and foreign debt sectors, and is a more appropriate index for performance comparisons, because the Fund does not limit its sector allocations to government debt.
Lipper Global Income Funds Average
The 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.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Index 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?
Prudential Global Total Return Fund’s Class A shares rose 4.60% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2011, outperforming the 4.07% gain of the benchmark Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index (the Global Aggregate Index).
The Class A shares also outperformed the 3.73% gain of the Citigroup World Government Bond Index—Unhedged (Citigroup WGBI—Unhedged) and the 2.41% gain of the Lipper Global Income Funds Average.
On March 8, 2011, Prudential Fixed Income changed the Fund’s benchmark to the Global Aggregate Index from the Citigroup WGBI—Unhedged. The composition of the Global Aggregate Index is more closely aligned with the Fund’s multi-sector strategy, while the Citigroup WGBI—Unhedged is almost entirely composed of the government debt of developed nations.
How is the Fund managed?
Prudential Fixed Income manages the Fund, which seeks total return, made up of current income and capital appreciation. It invests at least 65% of its total assets in debt securities that include (but are not limited to) bonds of U.S. and foreign corporations, governments, and agencies as well as mortgage-related securities and asset-backed securities. The latter are securities created from pools of credit card receivables, auto loans, or certain other types of loans.
The Fund primarily looks for investment-grade bonds denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. However, it can also invest in high yield corporate bonds, which are commonly called “junk” bonds (and not included in the Global Aggregate Index) because they are rated below investment grade. Portfolio managers work closely with a team of 65 credit research analysts in selecting bonds to buy and sell.
Prudential Fixed Income received approval from the Board of Directors of the Fund to change the Fund’s non-fundamental investment limits to better align them with those of the Prudential Total Return Bond Fund, a similarly managed portfolio. These changes will become effective on or about March 1, 2012.
| • | | The investment limit in high yield corporate bonds was increased from up to 35% of total assets to up to 50% of total assets. |
| • | | The investment limit in asset-backed securities was increased from up to 15% of total assets to up to 35% of total assets. |

How did global bond markets perform?
Global fixed income markets of economically developed nations faced heightened volatility driven by momentous economic and political developments around the world. Yet these markets delivered a 4.07% gain overall for the period in U.S. dollar terms without hedging for currency risk, according to the Global Aggregate Index.
| • | | A protracted sovereign-debt crisis in the euro zone was a major source of volatility. Despite efforts of European policymakers to contain the crisis, it spread from smaller nations such as Greece and Portugal to Italy, pushing up yields on Italian government bonds and driving down their prices, as bond prices move inversely to yields. Near the end of the period, European leaders announced their latest deal that called for reducing Greece’s debt load, recapitalizing European banks, and greatly increasing the amount of Europe’s bailout fund. Though investors welcomed this news, sovereign debt markets of Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece still ended the reporting period in the red. |
| • | | Another key source of volatility was the deteriorating prospects for the global economic recovery, which suffered shocks from soaring oil prices caused by regime change in North Africa and the Middle East and supply chain disruptions caused by a natural disaster in Japan. Many central banks reduced borrowing costs to stimulate business activity in their respective nations. Concerns about the euro zone debt debacle and slowing global economic growth encouraged a flight to safety (particularly during the third quarter of 2011) that benefited government bond markets of the United States, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. All four delivered gains for the reporting period. |
| • | | The rally in U.S. Treasury securities strengthened in September after the Federal Reserve announced it would, in October, begin selling $400 billion of short-term Treasury securities and buying their long-term counterparts. (It had already completed a second bond-buying program earlier in 2011.) The so-called “Operation Twist” is intended to drive down longer-term rates in order to boost growth in the U.S. economy, which some investors feared might slip into a double-dip recession. Longer-term Treasury securities soared in value in September, even though Standard & Poor’s had recently downgraded the U.S. long-term credit rating to AA+ from AAA. However, the Treasury market trimmed its gains in October, after data suggested the economy was not headed back into a recession. |
| • | | The flight to quality, particularly in the third quarter of 2011, pressured high yield corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). However, both sectors in October regained some of the ground they had lost and ended the reporting period in positive territory, as did other U.S. fixed |

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| income sectors including investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and residential mortgage-backed securities of federal agencies. |
How did foreign exchange markets perform?
Foreign exchange markets were also volatile. Investors fled to safe haven currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen during times of heightened risk aversion, causing them to strengthen versus a variety of other currencies. The opposite tended to occur during times of greater confidence in the global economic recovery. For the entire period, the U.S. dollar finished weaker versus currencies such as the Swiss franc, the Australian dollar, the Singapore dollar, and the Norwegian krone. It finished stronger versus currencies such as the South African rand, the Hungarian forint, and the Mexican peso.
Which investment strategies contributed most to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund benefited from certain aspects of its sector allocation strategies. Compared to the Global Aggregate Index, it had an underweight exposure to government securities of economically developed nations but an overweight exposure to so-called “spread sectors.” The latter include corporate bonds, CMBS, and other debt securities that provide extra yield (spread) over the comparable government securities of their respective markets to compensate investors for the bonds’ greater credit risk.
| • | | From the perspective of sector allocation, the largest contributor to the Fund’s strong performance versus the Global Aggregate Index was its non-benchmark exposure to U.S. high yield corporate bonds, which outperformed similar-maturity U.S. Treasury securities for the period. |
| • | | Another key contributor was its exposure to AAA-rated CMBS of the U.S. fixed income market. CMBS also outperformed similar-maturity Treasury securities for the period. |
The Fund benefited from certain aspects of its interest-rate strategy.
| • | | It had a longer duration in the U.S. fixed income market than the Global Aggregate Index. Duration measures the approximate price volatility of a bond portfolio for a given change in interest rates. A longer duration enabled the Fund to derive greater benefit as yields in the U.S. fixed income market declined, pushing bond prices higher. |
| • | | Duration exposure in the fixed income market of Mexico also worked well for the Fund, as yields also declined in that market and drove bond prices higher. |
| | |

The Fund’s tactical currency positioning also aided its results.
| • | | It underweighted the U.S. dollar and euro versus a diversified basket of currencies such as the Chinese yuan and Swedish krona. The Fund sometimes managed its currency exposures by utilizing currency forward contracts, which had a net positive impact on the Fund’s return for the period. |
Total contribution to the Fund from its derivatives exposures was also a net positive.
| • | | The Fund used other derivative instruments such as interest rate and credit default swaps, in addition to forward currency contracts. |
Which investment strategy subtracted most from the Fund’s performance?
Poor sector performance by asset-backed securities created from pools of subprime home equity loans was the largest detractor from the Fund’s performance for the period. These lower credit quality securities were hit hard during the time of heightened risk aversion, particularly during August.
The Portfolio of Investments following this report shows the size of the Fund’s positions at period-end.

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, 2011, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2011. 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 Prudential Investments 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.

(3) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country 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. |
(4) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return made up of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund is a non-diversified fund.
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 via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”) on the day of valuation, or if there was no NOCP, at the last sales 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.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded 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 of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued 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. Short-term debt securities, which mature in more than sixty days, are valued at fair value.
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.
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 from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies.
Concentration of Risk: The ability of issuers of debt securities (other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government) held by the Fund to meet its obligations may be affected by the economic or political developments in a specific industry, region or country. 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 (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 financial futures transactions.
The Fund invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value

caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. 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. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 between two parties. 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 specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or 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 or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the 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 Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
Options: The Fund purchased and wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, with respect to securities 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 the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the 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, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the

continued
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 Fund has realized a gain or 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 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 over-the-counter option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
With exchange-traded futures and options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and options and guarantees the futures and options contracts against default.
Swap Agreements: The Fund entered into credit default, interest rate and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. 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 Portfolio of Investments.
Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps 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 (“credit event”) for the referenced party, 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.
The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund purchased credit default swaps to provide a measure of
| | |
82 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
protection against defaults of the issuers. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased credit default swaps is the notional value of a credit default swap agreement. A master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection an agreed upon payment throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Fund would effectively increase investment risk to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund 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. These potential amounts 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 entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund 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 on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolio of Investments, if applicable, and 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 upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credits spreads and increasing 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.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest
| | | | |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | | 83 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund used interest rate swaps to maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments and to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
Currency Swaps: The Fund entered into currency swap agreements primarily to gain yield exposure on foreign bonds. Currency swap agreements involve two parties exchanging two different currencies with an agreement to reverse the exchange at a later date at specified exchange rates.
Inflation Swaps: The Fund entered into inflation swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the effect of inflation on yield. Inflation swap agreements involve two parties exchanging cash flows at a later date at rates related to inflation indices.
The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. A master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
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 there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified as collateral 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 serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the
| | |
84 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements. As of October 31, 2011, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements, which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
Forward currency contracts, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on debt securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged 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 declares dividends from net investment income daily and payment is made monthly. Prior to March 21, 2011, the Fund paid dividends of net investment income quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital and currency gains, if any, are paid annually. Foreign currency losses may reduce the amount of dividends of net investment income. Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, the Fund is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. 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 subadvisor’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of 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 the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion and .60% of such assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65% for the year ended October 31, 2011.
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, 2011 amounted to $61,719.
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, Class Q 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 Q and Class Z shares of the Fund. Class Q has not yet commenced operations.
| | |

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%, 1% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, and C shares, respectively. Through February 28, 2013, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. Through February 28, 2011, PIMS had contractually agreed to limit such fees to .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class C shares.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $280,196 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended October 31, 2011. 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, 2011, it received $25,365, $7,912 and $4,548 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”).
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 invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a series of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.
Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, for the year ended October 31, 2011 aggregated $302,897,451 and $219,509,571, respectively.

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 and accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2011, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income and increase accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions by $3,719,424, due to reclassification of foreign currency gain, reclass of paydown and swap gain (loss), differences in the treatment of premium amortization 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.
For the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets were $13,779,725 and $12,469,636 of ordinary income, respectively.
As of October 31, 2011, the Fund had accumulated undistributed ordinary income on a tax basis of $1,621,289.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2011 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustments | | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$217,223,591 | | $7,273,984 | | $(2,340,137) | | $4,933,847 | | $725,548 | | $5,659,395 |
The differences between book and tax basis are primarily attributable to the deferred losses on wash sales, deferred losses on foreign currencies and difference in the treatment of amortization of premiums. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currencies, swaps, options and futures, forward currency transactions and mark-to-market of receivables and payables.
For the federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2011, of approximately $9,371,000 of which $1,849,000 expires in 2014, $280,000 expires in 2015, $4,767,000 expires in 2016 and $2,475,000 expires in 2017. The Fund utilized approximately $403,000 of its capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable gains realized in the year ended October 31, 2011. Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. However, any post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. 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%, although the CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. 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% on shares redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A, Class B or Class C to Class Z shares or from Class Z to Class A shares of the Fund. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Q and 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, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Q and Class Z, each of which consists of 500 million, 200 million, 400 million, 400 million and 500 million authorized shares, respectively.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), is a party to a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $750 million for the period December 17, 2010 through December 16, 2011. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 17, 2010, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement (the “Expired SCA”) of a $500 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under these SCA’s is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. The SCA has been renewed on substantially similar terms with an increase in the amount of commitment to $900 million.
The Fund utilized the line of credit during the year ended October 31, 2011. The average daily balance for the 7 days that the Fund had loans outstanding during the year was approximately $349,000, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.47%. At October 31, 2011, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan amount.

Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”. The objective of ASU No. 2011-03 is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. Under previous guidance, whether or not to account for a transaction as a sale was based on, in part, if the entity maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2011-03 removes the transferor’s ability criterion from the effective control assessment. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-03 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc.:

(hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and the year 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.
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, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when 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, 2011, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, the ten-month period ended October 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
The Fund’s Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) consists of 10 individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Investment Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.
Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements
As required under the 1940 Act, the Board 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 6-8, 2011 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2012, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PI and PIM. Also, 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 by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. To the extent that PI deems appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may provide supplemental data compiled by Lipper for the Board’s consideration. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three-, five- and 10-year periods ending December 31, 2010, 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 it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI and the subadviser, 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 as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
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 its 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 6-8, 2011.
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 in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.
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, quality 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.
Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com
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 the 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 un-hedged mutual funds included in the Lipper Global Income Funds Performance Universe)1 was in the first quartile over the one-, three- and five-year periods, and in the fourth quartile over the 10-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.
Fees and Expenses
The Board considered the Fund’s actual management fees (which reflect any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) ranked in the Expense Group’s second quartile and that the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the fourth quartile. The Board considered PI’s assertion that relatively high global custodian fees were a significant factor in the Fund’s fourth quartile total expense ranking due to the Fund’s relatively small asset size. The Board considered that PI has agreed to reimburse and/or waive fees so that the Fund’s annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.100% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses 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

The Fund was compared to the group of un-hedged mutual funds included in the Global Income Funds Performance Universe because PI believes that these funds provide a more appropriate basis for Fund performance comparisons. |

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. However, the Board considered that the cost of services provided by PI to the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2010 exceeded the management fees paid by the Fund to PI, resulting in an operating loss to PI. 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 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 fees received by affiliates of PI for serving as the Fund’s securities lending agent, 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.

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.

Not applicable.

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 years 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $0, 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.
