Growth of a $10,000 Investment
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 Global Aggregate Bond Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (October 31, 2004) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2014) 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, Class Q and

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The Prudential Global Total Return Bond Fund’s Class A shares returned 3.67% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2014, outperforming the 0.22% return of the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Global Aggregate Bond Index) and the 2.76% return of the Lipper Global Income Funds Average.
How did the global fixed income markets perform?
During the reporting period that began November 1, 2013, the global fixed income markets showed major disparities, both on a quarter-to-quarter basis and by currency and region.
| • | | At the beginning of the period, global fixed income investors appeared to be focused on the possibility of policy firming by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). As the period progressed, it became increasingly apparent that the European Central Bank (ECB) was struggling with dangerously low inflation and poor economic growth. In Japan, economic weakness persisted as a tax increase hurt consumption, calling into question the effectiveness of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s stimulus efforts. Conditions in Europe and Japan led to the depreciation of the euro and the Japanese yen relative to the US dollar, which drove most of the outperformance of US fixed income versus global fixed income during the period. |
| • | | Within the US fixed income market, spread sectors outpaced US Treasury securities during the period overall. Spread sectors are commercial mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other types of debt securities that provide extra yield (spread) over similar-duration US Treasury securities to compensate for the greater credit risk associated with investing in them. During the period, US dollar denominated emerging markets debt, investment grade corporate bonds, and high yield corporate bonds generated the strongest returns. Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities also posted gains. |
| • | | When the reporting period began, the Fed was widely expected to announce the reduction (or, tapering) of its quantitative easing asset purchase program. The fixed income markets performed poorly in anticipation that the Fed would combine a tapering announcement with a shift in its policy of low interest rates. The bellwether 10-year US Treasury yield rose, reaching a high of more than 3%. However, that increase was more gradual than the surge that followed Fed hints of a possible taper earlier in 2013. |
| • | | In December, the Fed announced it would begin reducing its asset purchases in January 2014. After the Fed started tapering asset purchases, longer-term US Treasury yields fell, continuing to decline during the period overall. |
| | |

| • | | In the first quarter of 2014, severe weather hit much of the US, significantly depressing economic activity. The lull suggested the Fed might maintain lower interest rates for longer. Inflation remained muted. Longer-term interest rates fell, as market participants signaled their confidence in the Fed’s ability and willingness to control inflation over the long term. The fixed income market generated a positive return during the first quarter, with most sectors adding to their 2013 gains or erasing the majority of that calendar year’s losses. |
| • | | Fixed income markets continued to record gains in the second quarter, despite mixed US economic data, weaker economic growth in China, and geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine. While US economic growth continued to recover from the effects of the harsh winter weather, market participants seemed focused on weak first-quarter GDP, which was steadily revised lower during the second quarter—dampening growth projections for the 2014 calendar year. Meanwhile, as the US job market improved and inflation edged up, the Fed said it might raise short-term interest rates sooner than previously expected. |
| • | | Events of the third quarter 2014 triggered a wave of risk aversion in the fixed income markets. Many spread sectors, including investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate debt, and emerging markets debt, underperformed US Treasuries. Although the global economic recovery remained sluggish, US growth continued at an annualized pace of approximately 2%. US unemployment also declined. As a result, the Fed appeared increasingly likely to hike short-term rates during 2015. |
| • | | The Fed’s monetary policy diverged from those of the Bank of Japan and the ECB during the reporting period. As the Fed ended its quantitative easing program in October and hinted at a hike in short-term interest rates, the Bank of Japan and the ECB continued to ease their monetary policies and sought to weaken their currencies relative to the US dollar. |
Which strategies made the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s performance?
The Fund outperformed the Global Aggregate Bond Index mostly due to its sector allocation strategy. The portfolio management team leverages the resources of Prudential Fixed Income’s specialized sector teams to determine the best relative value opportunities for a given market environment. It then implements overweight exposures to what it believes to be its best ideas, while maintaining underweight exposures in sectors that offer less compelling risk/ reward potential.
| • | | During the reporting period, the Fund’s sector allocation emphasized global spread sectors, rather than government bond sectors. Allocations to US high |
| | | | |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | | 7 | |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| yield corporate bonds, emerging markets debt, and non-agency mortgage-backed securities drove most of the Fund’s relative outperformance. The Fund’s allocation to the government debt of so-called “peripheral” European countries also enhanced returns. |
| • | | The Fund benefited from the management of duration and yield curve positioning. Duration is a measure of the interest rate sensitivity of a bond portfolio or individual debt securities that is expressed as a number of years. The longer the duration, the greater the potential risk or reward when interest rates move. The Fund had a long duration bias for most of the period, allowing it to benefit from falling US and global interest rates. Also contributing positively was the Fund’s positioning for flatter yield curves. Yield curves are single line graphs that illustrate the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. |
What other strategies helped the Fund’s performance?
The Fund was positioned for a decline in the yen and euro, relative to a range of developed and emerging currencies. Ongoing concerns about weak growth and low inflation in the euro zone have kept pressure on the ECB to ease policy, which has weighed on the euro. Additionally, the aggressive monetary policy arrow of Abenomics, and Japan’s trade deficit, has driven a profound weakening of the yen.
Which strategies detracted most from the Fund’s performance?
Although the Fund benefited overall from its exposure to emerging markets debt, it was hurt by its allocation to the local interest rates of certain countries. In particular, the Fund’s allocation to Russia detracted from results. Russian bonds declined early in the period after the country’s military intervention in the Ukraine and later in the period in response to falling oil prices. The Fund’s underweight position in the Russian ruble offset some of the negative impact.
Did the Fund hold derivatives and how did they affect performance?
The Fund uses derivatives when they facilitate implementation of the overall investment approach. During the reporting period, the Fund used interest rate futures and swaps to help manage US and global duration and yield curve exposure. These positions added significantly to performance. In addition, to implement most currency strategies, the Fund used foreign exchange derivatives, which had positive returns.

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, 2014, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
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.
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
| | | | |

Fees and Expenses (continued)
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.
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.

The Fund entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
See Notes to Financial Statements.
(1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
(3) | 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. |
(5) | The fair value of credit default swap agreements on credit indices serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. | | | 75 | |
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 accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Fund consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted Valuation Procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”). Under the current Valuation Procedures, the established Valuation Committee is responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures permit the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to the Board’s review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly-scheduled quarterly meeting.
Various inputs determine how the Fund’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
In the event there is no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs are observable and considered to be significant to the valuation.
Common and preferred stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the adjustment factors are observable and considered to be significant to the valuation. Securities not valued using such model prices are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stocks discussed above.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices after evaluating observable inputs including, but not limited to yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations, and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter derivative instruments are generally valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on inputs such as underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, and exchange rates. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the prices marked at the official settle are not public.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that significant unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the 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.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities: Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the investment. Therefore, the Fund may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Fund’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Directors of the Fund. However, the liquidity of the Fund’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
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 holdings of foreign currencies, 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, dividends 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 debt securities issuers (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 futures transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
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. With exchange-traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearing house acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
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.
Cross Currency Exchange Contracts: A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another currency.
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 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 transactions. 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 options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.
Forward Rate Agreements: Forward rate agreements represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount on a fixed future date. The Fund entered into forward rate agreements to gain yield exposure based on anticipated market conditions at the specified termination date of the agreement.
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. Swap agreements are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be executed either directly with counterparty (“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Exchange-traded”). 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. Exchange-traded swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. 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 (“CDS”) involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (collectively a “credit event”) for the referenced entity (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country) on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.
The Fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases. The Fund sold protection using credit default swaps to take an active short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased credit default swaps is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value due to a credit event.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund generally receives an agreed upon payment from the buyer of protection throughout the term of the swap, provided no credit event occurs. As the seller, the Fund effectively increases its investment risk 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. This potential amount will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements which the Fund entered into 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 or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolio of Investments, if applicable. These spreads serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of default risk for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increased market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. 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. 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 may enter 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.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Fund is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. 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. The right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the

right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there were no instances where the right of set-off existed and management has not elected to offset.
The Fund is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Portfolio of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Portfolio of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Fund’s future derivative activity.
In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the
respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which, when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.
As of October 31, 2014, the Fund has not met conditions under such agreements which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
Forward currency contracts, forward rate agreements, written options, swaps and financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions 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 an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees which are charged directly to the respective class and transfer agency fees specific to Class Q shares which are charged to that share class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of adjusted net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions: The Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and payment is made monthly. Distributions from 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 estimates.
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, 2014.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, PI had 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 Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Fund did not exceed the 1.10% expense limit. Effective November 1, 2014, PI has contractually agreed through February 29, 2016 to limit net annual Fund operating expenses (exclusive of distribution and service (12b-1) fees, extraordinary and certain other expenses, including taxes, interest and brokerage commissions) of each class of shares to .81% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
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. 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 29, 2016, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to ..25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it has received $255,076 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the year ended October 31, 2014. 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, 2014, it received $44, $15,201 and $5,921 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 portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act 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, other than short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, for year ended October 31, 2014, were $222,656,529 and $120,442,579, 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-dividend date. In order to present distributions in excess of 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 distributions in excess of 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, 2014, the adjustments were to decrease distributions in excess of net investment income by $4,501,281, increase accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions by $54,705 and decrease paid-in capital in excess of par by $4,446,576 due to reclassification of net foreign currency loss, reclass of paydown and swap gain (loss), differences in the treatment of premium amortization and book to tax differences in the treatment of distributions. Net investment income, net realized gain (loss) on investment and foreign currency transactions and net assets were not affected by this change.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $5,551,050 of ordinary income and $5,635,899 of tax return of capital. For the year ended October 31, 2013, the tax character of dividends paid were $7,630,382 of ordinary income and $4,872,234 of tax return of capital.
As of October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any distributable earnings on a tax basis.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustments | | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$346,001,534 | | $9,603,965 | | $(10,366,499) | | $(762,534) | | $8,240,026 | | $7,477,492 |
The difference between book and tax basis is primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, difference in the treatment of premium amortization and other book to tax differences. The other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currencies, swaps, futures and mark-to-market of receivables and payables.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses realized on or after November 1, 2011 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. 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 taxable years ending before October 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. The Fund utilized approximately $4,447,000 of its pre-enactment losses to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of October 31, 2014, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
| | | | |
Post-Enactment Losses: | | $ | 0 | |
| | | | |
Pre-Enactment Losses: | | | | |
Expiring 2017 | | $ | 566,000 | |
| | | | |
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, Class Q 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 B shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% on shares redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase. 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.
Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.

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 $900 million for the period October 9, 2014 through October 8, 2015. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of .075% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to October 9, 2014, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of .08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.
The Fund utilized the SCA during the year ended October 31, 2014. The average daily balance for the 2 days that the Fund had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $183,500, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.41%. At October 31, 2014, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan amount.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our 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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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 five-year period then ended, 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 thirteen individuals, eleven 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 9-11, 2014 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2015, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.1
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, as is further discussed below.
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 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,
1 | Grace C. Torres was elected to the Board as of December 2014, and therefore did not participate in the consideration of these approvals. |
Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc.
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
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 9-11, 2014.
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 best interests 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 considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and PIM, and also considered 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.
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 separately considered information regarding the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of 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
In 2013, PI and the Board retained an outside business consulting firm, in order to assist the Board in its consideration of the renewal of the management and subadvisory agreements, by reviewing management fee breakpoint usage and trends in management fees across the mutual fund industry. The consulting firm’s analysis and conclusions with respect to the Funds’ management fee structures were presented to the Board and PI at the December 3-5, 2013 meeting, and were discussed extensively by the Board and PI over the following two quarters.
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. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to any individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
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 its 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 its 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.
Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses
The Board considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013.
The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.
The mutual funds included in the Peer Universe (a custom peer group of un-hedged mutual funds included in the Lipper Global Income Funds Performance Universe)2 and the Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. To the extent that PI deemed appropriate, and for reasons addressed in detail with the Board, PI may have provided supplemental data compiled by Lipper for the Board’s consideration. The

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. |

comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles, 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).
The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

Performance | | 1 Year | | 3 Years | | 5 Years | | 10 Years |
| | 2nd Quartile | | 1st Quartile | | 2nd Quartile | | 1st Quartile |
Actual Management Fees: 4th Quartile |
Net Total Expenses: 4th Quartile |
| • | | The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods. |
| • | | The Board and PI agreed to continue the existing voluntary expense cap of 1.10% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees). |
| • | | The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements. |
| • | | The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided. |

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the best interests 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:
| Ø | Annual Fund financial statement audits |

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:

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:

| Ø | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| Ø | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| Ø | Tax authority examination services |
| Ø | Tax appeals support services |
| Ø | Accounting methods studies |

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:

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 –
