Growth of a $10,000 Investment
The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Prudential Muni High Income Fund (Class A shares) with a similar investment in the Barclays Municipal Bond Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class A shares (April 30, 2004) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (April 30, 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 and in the following paragraphs, performance for Class B, Class C, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class. Without waiver of fees and/or expense reimbursements, if any, the returns would have been lower.
Past performance does not predict future performance. 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.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The Prudential Muni High Income Fund’s (the Fund) Class A shares declined by 0.71% for the 12-month period that ended April 30, 2014, underperforming the 0.50% gain of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which consists entirely of investment-grade municipal bonds.
The Fund’s Class A shares outperformed the 1.64% decline of the Barclays Municipal High Yield Bond Index, which tracks bonds that are not rated or are rated below investment grade. The Fund also outperformed the 1.52% decline of the Lipper High Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average.
What were conditions like in the municipal bond market?
The municipal bond market faced significant challenges during the past fiscal year. The reporting period, which began on May 1, 2013, got off to a rough start. AAA-rated municipal bonds underperformed U.S. Treasuries in the second quarter of 2013. While state and local finances continued to improve, the key long-term concerns continued to be unfunded pension liabilities and retiree healthcare benefits. In fact, the State of Illinois’ downgrade by two rating agencies was directly attributable to its inability to pass much needed pension reform during the legislative session. Subsequently, pension reform was passed but is now being challenged in court.
In the third quarter of 2013, the key factors driving the municipal market lower were higher interest rates, significant retail fund outflows, and headline risk associated with Detroit’s bankruptcy filing in July, as well as Puerto Rico’s fiscal health. Long-term, AAA-rated municipal bonds underperformed U.S. Treasuries. Higher-quality municipals held their value better than lower-quality bonds.
The municipal market perked up in the fourth quarter of 2013 despite continued fund outflows, as AAA-rated municipal bonds outperformed U.S. Treasuries. High grade municipals also fared better than lower-quality bonds. For the quarter, high grade municipals returned .32%, while lower-rated municipals declined by .46%.
In the first quarter of 2014, AAA-rated municipal bonds underperformed U.S. Treasuries in the front end of the yield curve. However, municipal bonds outperformed Treasuries with maturities of 10 years and longer. Lower-quality municipals outperformed higher-quality issues. After large mutual fund outflows plagued the market in 2013, fund flows were modestly positive at the end of the reporting period.

Additionally, an increase in personal income tax rates in 2013 to 39.6% from 35% for individuals making more than $400,000 has been a positive for the tax-exempt municipal market, as demand remains strong for tax-exempt income.
What made the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s performance?
Security selection and sector allocation were the major contributors to the Fund’s positive performance.
• | The Fund gained from an overweight exposure to hospital bonds, which posted a moderate gain during the reporting period, according to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. |
• | Exposure to airline credit-backed securities contributed to the Fund’s performance as spreads, the difference in yields between AAA-rated municipal bonds and other bonds with similar maturities, tightened. The Fund’s airline holdings consisted of private activity bonds, which are typically used by private companies to finance construction projects such as terminal improvements at airports or other projects. |
• | The Fund’s underweight exposure to tobacco-related bonds compared with holdings in the Barclays High Yield Index had a positive effect on performance, since these bonds underperformed. Tobacco-related bonds are backed by payments from tobacco companies participating in the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. |
What detracted most from the Fund’s performance?
The Fund’s yield curve positioning strategy was the most significant factor that detracted from performance.
• | Over the one-year period, yields on longer maturity municipals rose more than yields on shorter maturity municipals, resulting in a steeper yield curve. This detracted from performance as the Fund was positioned for a yield curve flattening, which anticipated a decrease in yields on longer maturity municipals. |
Did the Fund hold derivatives and did they affect performance?
• | The Fund maintained short positions in U.S. Treasury futures to offset some of the Fund’s duration and curve exposure. The impact on the one-year performance was neutral. |

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a 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 each 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 November 1, 2013, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 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 tables on the following pages 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 tables on the following pages 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 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 tables 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.

*Fund expenses (net of fee waivers or subsidies, if any) for each share class are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each share class (provided in the table), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the 181 days in the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Prudential Muni High Income Fund | 39 |
Notes to Financial Statements
Prudential Investment Portfolios 4—Prudential Muni High Income Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Fund was organized as an unincorporated business trust in Massachusetts on November 3, 1986 and currently consists of one series: the Prudential Muni High Income Fund. The Fund is a diversified fund.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide the maximum amount of income that is eligible for exclusion from federal income taxes.
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 portfolio 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 Trustees (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 three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.
Common stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of
40 |
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 except for exchange-traded and cleared swaps which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the prices marked at the official settle are not public.
In the event that no sale or official closing price on valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as these inputs are observable and considered to be significant to the valuation.
Common 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 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.
Prudential Muni High Income Fund | 41 |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
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.
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 Trustees 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.
42 |
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.
The Fund invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge existing portfolio securities, or securities the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. With exchange-traded futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default. Financial futures contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Floating-Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held: The Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities (“inverse floaters”) that pay interest at a rate that varies inversely with short-term interest rates. Certain of these securities may be leveraged, whereby the interest rate varies inversely at a multiple of the change in short-term rates. As interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income. The price of such securities is more volatile than comparable fixed rate securities.
When the Fund enters into agreements to create inverse floaters and floater note securities (also known as Tender Option Bond Transactions), the Fund transfers a fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time the Fund buys (receives) a residual interest in a trust (the “trust”) set up by the broker, often referred to as an inverse floating rate obligation (inverse floaters). Generally, the broker deposits a fixed rate bond (the “fixed rate bond”) into the trust with the same CUSIP number as the fixed rate bond sold to the broker by the Fund. The “trust” also issues floating rate notes (“floating rate notes”), which are sold to third parties. The floating rate notes have interest rates that reset weekly. The inverse floater held by the Fund gives the
Prudential Muni High Income Fund | 43 |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the fixed rate bond held by the trust to the Fund thereby collapsing the trust. The Fund accounts for the transaction described above as funded leverage by including the fixed rate bond in its Portfolio of Investments, and accounts for the floating rate notes as a liability under the caption “payable for floating rate notes issued” in the Fund’s “Statement of Assets and Liabilities.” Interest expense related to the Fund’s liability in connection with the floating rate notes held by third parties is recorded as incurred. The interest expense is under the caption “interest expenses and fees related to inverse floaters” in the Fund’s “Statement of Operations” and is also included in the Fund’s expense ratio. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund did not enter into any Tender Option Bond Transactions.
The Fund may also invest in inverse floaters without transferring a fixed rate bond into a trust, which is not accounted for as funded leverage. The interest rates on these securities have an inverse relationship to the interest rate of other securities or the value of an index. Changes in interest rates on the other security or index inversely affect the rate paid on the inverse floater, and the inverse floater’s price will be more volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. Additionally, some of these securities contain a “leverage factor” whereby the interest rate moves inversely by a “factor” to the benchmark rate. Certain interest rate movements and other market factors can substantially affect the liquidity of inverse floating rate notes.
The Fund’s investment policies and restrictions permit investments in inverse floating rate securities. Inverse floaters held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities: Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it instructs the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of
44 |
premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the 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 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 daily dividends from net investment income and payment is made monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are made annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
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.
Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits, if any, are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
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
Prudential Muni High Income Fund | 45 |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
management of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers for the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping cost of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of up to $1 billion and .45% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .50% for the year ended April 30, 2014.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the Fund. The Fund compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B and C Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by it. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Fund.
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%, .50% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B and C shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares through August 31, 2015.
PIMS has advised the Fund that it received $165,787 for Class A shares in front-end sales charges during the year ended April 30, 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 April 30, 2014, it received $3,484, $116,743, and $32,416 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
PI, PIM and PIMS are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).
46 |
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.
Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the year ended April 30, 2014, were $154,954,442 and $244,143,912, respectively. Although floating rate daily demand notes are shown as short-term investments in the Portfolio of Investments due to frequent reset of coupon rates, they have long-term maturities and are included in these purchases and sales amounts.
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 undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment 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 transactions. For the year ended April 30, 2014, the adjustments were to increase undistributed net investment income by $209,510, decrease accumulated net realized loss on investment transactions by $10,854,794 and decrease paid-in capital in excess of par by $11,064,304 due to the difference in the treatment of accreting market discount between financial and tax reporting, write off of capital loss carryforward due to expiration and other book to tax differences. Net investment income, net realized loss and net assets were not affected by this change.
For the year ended April 30, 2014, the tax character of dividends paid was $30,124,032 of tax-exempt income and $219,702 of ordinary income. For the year ended April 30, 2013, the tax character of dividends paid was $31,659,947 of tax-exempt income and $746,521 of ordinary income.
As of April 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were $5,690,050 of tax-exempt income (includes timing difference of $438,105 for dividends payable) and $1,053,895 of ordinary income, respectively. This differs from the amount shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to cumulative timing differences between financial and tax reporting.

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and net unrealized appreciation as of April 30, 2014 were as follows:
Tax Basis | Appreciation | Depreciation | Net | |||
$620,153,917 | $39,701,666 | $(21,339,612) | $18,362,054 |
The difference between book and tax basis was primarily due to the difference between financial and tax reporting with respect to accretion of market discount, deferred losses on wash sales and other adjustments.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses realized on or after May 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 April 30, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) 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. Additionally, approximately $11,064,000 of its capital loss carryforward was written off unused due to expiration. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of April 30, 2014, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
Post-Enactment Losses: | $ | 11,783,000 | ||
|
| |||
Pre-Enactment Losses: | ||||
Expiring 2019 | $ | 19,389,000 | ||
|
|
The Fund elected to treat post-October capital losses of approximately $1,662,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (April 30, 2015).
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 were sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4%. All investors who purchase Class A shares in the 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%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after purchase. Class C shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualify to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.
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 beneficial interest.
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of each class at $.01 par value per share. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

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 November 5, 2013 through November 4, 2014. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.08% on the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to November 5, 2013, the Funds had another SCA with substantially similar terms. 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 did not utilize the SCA during the year ended April 30, 2014.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Prudential Muni High Income Fund (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 4, including the portfolio of investments, as of April 30, 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 April 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods described in the first paragraph above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Ø | Annual Fund financial statement audits |

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.

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:
Ø | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund |

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.
