Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Asset Allocation Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended March 31, 2014.
We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
Prudential Investments® is dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risks. We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.
Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.
Sincerely,
Stuart S. Parker, President

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 October 1, 2013, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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 on the following page 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
| | | | |
Prudential Asset Allocation Fund | | | 5 | |
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.

*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 182 days in the six-month period ended March 31, 2014, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund's fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: Prudential Asset Allocation Fund (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Growth Fund and Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund, Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Prudential Asset Allocation Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein.
The Series’ investment objective is to seek income and long-term growth of capital.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation: The Series 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 Series 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 Series’ 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 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 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 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 the 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.
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.
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
| | | | |
Prudential Asset Allocation Fund | | | 89 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
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 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 Series 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 Series has valued the investment. Therefore, the Series 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 Series’ Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Directors of the Series. However, the liquidity of the Series’ investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Series 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 Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Series 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 Series 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, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ 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 unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currencies. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
REITs: The Series invests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. These estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual sources of distributions is disclosed by the REITs.
Options: The Series purchased or wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or currencies which the Series currently owns or intends to purchase. The Series also used purchased options to gain exposure to certain securities or foreign currencies. The Series’ 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.
| | | | |
Prudential Asset Allocation Fund | | | 91 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
When the Series purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Series 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 Series realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase in determining whether the Series has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gains or losses on purchased options are included in net realized gains or losses on investment transactions. Gains or losses on written options are presented separately as net realized gains or losses on options written.
The Series, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Series bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. Over-the-counter options involve the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
When the Series writes an option on a swap contract, an amount equal to any premium received by the Series is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Series becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Series becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Series will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.
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 Series 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 Series each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on financial futures contracts.
The Series entered into financial futures contracts in order to hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Series intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Series may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Financial futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
With exchange-traded futures and options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange traded futures and options, and guarantees the futures and options contracts against default.
Swap Agreements: The Series entered into credit default and interest rate 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. Upon entering into an exchange traded swap, the Series pledges with the clearing broker an initial margin and thereafter, pays or receives an amount, known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. Payments received or paid by the Series 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.

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 Series is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Series used interest rate swaps 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 Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Series and the counterparty which may permit the Series to offset amounts payable by the Series to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Series to cover the Series’ exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.
Credit Default Swaps: Credit default swaps involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (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 Series is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Series entered into credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers. The Series sold protection using credit default swaps to take an active short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. The Series’ 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 based on credit event.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Series will generally receive from the buyer of protection an agreed upon payment throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, the Series would effectively increase investment risk to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Series may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The maximum amount of the payment that the Series as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. These potential amounts will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Series for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Series generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolio of Investments, if applicable, and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment and/or performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market 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 or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. A master netting arrangement between the Series and the counterparty permits the Series to offset amounts payable by the Series to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Series to cover the Series’ 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 Series is a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements (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
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
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 Series is held in a segregated account by the Series’ 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 Series is segregated by the Series’ 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 Series and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Series’ net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Series may occur upon a decline in the Series’ 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 Series’ counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Series’ 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 there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreement, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified as collateral or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such over-the-counter derivative agreements include conditions which when materialized; give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the 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 March 31, 2014, the Series has not met conditions under such agreements, which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
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.
Rights: The Series held rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such rights are held as long positions by the Series until exercised, sold or expired. Rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures.
Dollar Rolls: The Series may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Series sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date.
During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series’ policy is to record the components of dollar rolls as purchase and sale transactions. The Series had dollar rolls outstanding as of March 31, 2014, which are included in Receivable for investments sold and Payable for investments purchased in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series maintains a segregated account of U.S. government securities or other liquid assets, the dollar value of which is at least equal to its obligation with respect to dollar rolls.
The Series is subject to the risk that the market value of the securities the Series is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid short term money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Series. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Series securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Series has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Series recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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, which 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 Series expects to pay dividends of net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, 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, each Series in the Company is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Series’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends 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 Series has a management agreement for the Series with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadvisors’ performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”) and Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM and QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, PIM and QMA are obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of PIM and QMA, the compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .65% of the Series’ daily average net assets up to $1 billion and .60% of the average net assets of the Series in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .65% for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
PI has contractually agreed to waive up to .02% of its management fee to the extent that the Series’ annual operating expenses exceed .86% (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and non-routine expenses) of the Series’ average net assets through January 31, 2015.
The Series 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 R and Class Z shares of the Series. In addition, the Series has a distribution agreement with Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”), which, together with PIMS, serves as co-distributor of Class X shares of the Series. The Fund compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distributing and servicing the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class X shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class Distribution Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS or PAD. 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 Series.
Pursuant to the Class A, B, C, R and X Plans, the Series compensates PIMS and PAD, as applicable, for distribution-related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1%, .75% and 1% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, R and X shares, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.

PIMS has advised the Series that it received $84,010 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2014. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2014, it received $1, $10,792 and $1,115 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon certain redemptions by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
PI, PIM, PIMS, QMA and PAD 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 Series’ transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of-pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
PIM is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, PIM has been compensated $2,830 for these services. The Series invests in the Prudential Core Short-Term Bond Fund, pursuant to an exemptive order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Funds”), each a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Funds are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.
Note 4. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments and U.S. Government Securities, for the six months ended March 31, 2014 were $379,983,477 and $391,801,169, respectively. The amount of dollar rolls outstanding at March 31, 2014 was $11,165,039 (principal $10,750,000), which was 2.7% of total net assets.
Transactions in options written during the six months ended March 31, 2014, were as follows:

Note 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Basis | | $ | 385,159,151 | |
| | | | |
Appreciation | | | 74,332,479 | |
Depreciation | | | (4,366,645 | ) |
| | | | |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 69,965,834 | |
| | | | |
The difference between book and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, investments in passive foreign investment companies, trust preferred securities and other cost basis differences between financial reporting and tax accounting.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Series is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2013 (“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 September 30, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. The Series utilized approximately $21,920,000 of its pre-enactment losses to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of September 30, 2013, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
| | | | |
Post-Enactment Losses: | | $ | 0 | |
| | | | |
Pre-Enactment Losses: | | | | |
Expiring 2018 | | $ | 7,971,000 | |

Management has analyzed the Series’ 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 Series’ financial statements for the current reporting period. The Series’ 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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class X and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Series, 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.

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended March 31, 2014.
We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision.

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 October 1, 2013, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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 on the following page 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 Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 5 | |
Fees and Expenses (continued)
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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company consists of six series: Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Growth Fund, and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund, Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein.
The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Series 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 Series 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 Series’ 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 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 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 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 the 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.
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.
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
(Unaudited) 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 Series 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 Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Series 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 Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.
Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from sales and maturities of short-term securities and forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ 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.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid short-term money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Series. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Series securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Series has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral. The Series recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

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 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 Series expects to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, at least 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 Series is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Series’ 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 investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends 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 Series 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .60% of the average daily net assets of the Series up to $300 million and 0.575% of the average daily net assets of the Series over $300 million. The effective management fee rate was 0.59% of the Series’ average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
The Series 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 R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Series.
Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to .50% for Class R shares.
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 Series that it has received $211,166 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2014. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to dealers, which in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PIMS has advised the Series that for the six months ended March 31, 2014, it received $3, $5,502 and $2,038 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and C shareholders, respectively.
PI, PIMS and Jennison 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 Company’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.
Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, PIM has been compensated approximately $6,800 for these services.
The Series invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of 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, for the six months ended March 31, 2014, were $141,023,707 and $105,140,606, respectively.
Note 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Basis | | $ | 406,022,885 | |
| | | | |
Appreciation | | | 138,772,144 | |
Depreciation | | | (922,586 | ) |
| | | | |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 137,849,558 | |
| | | | |
The difference between book and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales. The other cost basis adjustments is attributed to mark-to-market of receivables and payables.
The Series utilized approximately $14,174,000 of its capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
Management has analyzed the Series’ 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 Series’ financial statements for the current reporting period. The Series’ 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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject front-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1%, including investors who purchase their shares through broker-dealers affiliated with Prudential. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge 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 contingent deferred sales charge of 1% during the first 12 months. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class R 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 Series to one or more other share classes of the Series as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.
There are 1 billion shares of $.001 par value common stock of the Series, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z, each of which consists of 200 million authorized shares.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Series, 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 Series did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended March 31, 2014.

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Jennison Growth Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended March 31, 2014.
We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.
Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.
Sincerely,
Stuart S. Parker, President

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes.

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 October 1, 2013, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 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 on the following page 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
| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Growth Fund | | | 5 | |
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company consists of six series: Prudential Jennison Growth Fund (the “Series”), Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund, Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund which are non-diversified funds. These financial statements relate to Prudential Jennison Growth Fund. The financial statements of the other series are not presented herein.
The Series’ investment objective is to achieve long-term growth of capital.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Series consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Series 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 Series 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 Series’ 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 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 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 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 the 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.
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.
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.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Series 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 Series are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Series 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 Series does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, these realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.
Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from sales and maturities of short-term securities and forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ 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.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of political and economic instability, or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Series is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. A master netting arrangement between the Series and the counterparty permits the Series to offset amounts payable by the Series to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Series to cover the Series’ 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.
Securities Lending: The Series may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid short-term money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Series. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Series securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Series has the right to repurchase the securities in the open market using the collateral. The Series recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The Series also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.

REITs: The Series invests in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. These estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual sources of distributions is disclosed by the REITs.
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 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 Series expects to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, at least 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 Series is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is the Series’ 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 investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, 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 Company has a management agreement for the Series 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 Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Series. In connection therewith, Jennison is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Series. PI pays for the services of Jennison, the cost of compensation of officers of the Series, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Series. The Series bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .60% of the Series’ average daily net assets up to $300 million, .575% of the average daily net assets on the next $2.7 billion and .55% of the average daily net assets in excess of $3 billion. The effective management fee rate was .58% of the Series’ average daily net assets for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
The Series 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 R and Class Z shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”), regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Series.
Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1% and .75%, of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares through January 31, 2015.
PIMS has advised the Series that it has received $231,306 in front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares, during the six months ended March 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.

PI, PIMS and Jennison 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 Series’ 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.
Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, is the Series’ security lending agent. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, PIM has been compensated approximately $106,000 for these services.
The Series invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of 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, for the six months ended March 31, 2014, were $563,089,651 and $579,455,990, respectively.
Note 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis of the Series’ investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | |
Tax Basis | | $ | 1,775,482,879 | |
| | | | |
Appreciation | | | 1,128,798,727 | |
Depreciation | | | (10,533,586 | ) |
| | | | |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 1,118,265,141 | |
| | | | |
The book basis may differ from tax basis due to certain tax-related adjustments.
Management has analyzed the Series’ 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 Series’ financial statements for the current reporting period. The Series’ 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 Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50%. 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%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefits 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 R 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 Series to one or more other share classes of the Series as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.
The Company is authorized to issue 6.25 billion shares of common stock at $.001 par value per shares. There are 1.25 billion shares authorized for the Series equally divided into six classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Z shares. The Series currently does not have any Class I shares outstanding. As of March 31, 2014, PI did not own any shares of the Series.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Series, 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 Series utilized the SCA during the six months ended March 31, 2014. The average daily balance for the 3 days the Series had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $4,523,000, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.42%. At March 31, 2014, the Series did not have an outstanding loan amount.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for the Prudential Asset Allocation Funds informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period that ended March 31, 2014.
We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind, however, that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
Prudential Investments® is dedicated to helping you solve your toughest investment challenges—whether it’s capital growth, reliable income, or protection from market volatility and other risks. We offer the expertise of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers* that strive to be leaders in a broad range of funds to help you stay on course to the future you envision. They also manage money for major corporations and pension funds around the world, which means you benefit from the same expertise, innovation, and attention to risk demanded by today’s most sophisticated investors.
Thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of funds.
Sincerely,
Stuart S. Parker, President

Performance Target—Conservative Customized Blend
The Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund seeks to exceed a performance target—the Conservative Customized Blend Index—consisting of a weighted average return of six securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2014, and their weightings in the Conservative Customized Blend Index.

The Fund seeks to exceed this target by holding positions in specific Prudential mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment subadviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

concentrating 75% of their equity assets in any one market capitalization range over an extended period of time. Multi-Cap funds typically have between 25% and 75% of their assets invested in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index.

Performance Target—Growth Customized Blend
The Prudential Growth Allocation Fund seeks to exceed a performance target—the Growth Customized Blend Index—consisting of a weighted average return of five securities indexes that are generally considered representative of the asset classes in which the Fund may invest. The chart below shows both the total returns of these indexes for the six-month period ended March 31, 2014, and their weightings in the Growth Customized Blend Index. Index returns do not reflect sales charges, a mutual fund’s operating expenses, or taxes, and investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund seeks to exceed this target by holding positions in specific Prudential mutual funds. In response to market developments, the Fund’s investment subadviser may vary its holdings in those funds (within specified ranges). Past performance is not indicative of future results.

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. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2013, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2014. These examples are 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 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 tables on the following pages. 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 tables, 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 tables. 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 tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series (“Fund” or “Funds”): Prudential Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund, Prudential Jennison Growth Fund and Prudential Asset Allocation Fund which are diversified funds and Prudential Conservative Allocation Fund (“Conservative Allocation Fund”), Prudential Moderate Allocation Fund (“Moderate Allocation Fund”) and Prudential Growth Allocation Fund (“Growth Allocation Fund”) which are non-diversified. These financial statements relate to the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund (collectively referred to as the “Allocation Funds”).
The Conservative Allocation Fund’s investment objective is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The Moderate Allocation Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. The Growth Allocation Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Each Allocation Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of mutual funds in the Prudential mutual fund family (each, an underlying fund). Each Fund in the Allocation Funds is typically referred to as a “Fund of Funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Allocation Funds may also invest directly in U.S. Government securities and money market instruments for cash management purposes or when assuming a defensive position.
Note 1. Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company and the Allocation Funds consistently follow such policies in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation: The Allocation Funds hold 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 Allocation Funds 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 each of the Allocation Funds’ 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 Portfolios 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 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 exchanged-traded and cleared swaps which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the prices 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 the 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited) continued
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.
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.
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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual and such expenses exclude those of the underlying funds. Expenses on the underlying funds are reflected in the net asset values of those funds. The Company’s expenses are allocated to the respective portfolio on the basis of relative net assets except the expenses that are charged directly at the portfolio or class level.
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: Dividends will typically be distributed quarterly by the Conservative Allocation Fund and annually by the Moderate Allocation Fund and the
Growth Allocation Fund. Each Allocation Fund declares and pays its net realized capital gains, if any, at least 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, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate taxpaying entity. It is each of the Allocation Funds’ 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 investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
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 Company has a management agreement for the Allocation Funds 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 Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Allocation Funds. In connection therewith, QMA is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Allocation Funds. PI pays for the services of QMA, the compensation of officers, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Allocation Funds. The Allocation Funds bear all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .20% of each of the Allocation Funds’ average daily net assets.
The Allocation Funds have a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”), which acts as the distributor of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Allocation Funds. The Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distributing and servicing the Allocation Funds’ Class A, B, C and R shares, pursuant to plans of distribution (the “Class A, B, C and R Plans”),
| | | | |

(Unaudited) continued
regardless of expenses actually incurred by PIMS. The distribution fees are accrued daily and payable monthly. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of the Class Z shares of the Allocation Funds.
Pursuant to the Class A, B, C and R Plans, the Allocation Funds compensate PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to .30%, 1%, 1% and .75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C and R shares, respectively. PIMS contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and .50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.
PI has contractually agreed to limit the net annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, non-routine expenses, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and underlying fund fees and expenses) of each class of shares of the Allocation Funds to .50% of each Allocation Funds’ average daily net assets.
PIMS has advised the Allocation Funds of its receipt of front-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares during the six months ended March 31, 2014. These amounts were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Class A | |
Conservative Allocation Fund | | $ | 120,255 | |
Moderate Allocation Fund | | | 170,927 | |
Growth Allocation Fund | | | 130,936 | |
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 Allocation Funds of its receipt of contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2014. These amounts were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Growth Allocation Fund | | | 56 | | | | 15,867 | | | | 467 | |
PI, QMA 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 Company’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 Allocation Funds invest 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 5. Tax Information
The United States federal income tax basis and net unrealized appreciation of the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Tax Basis | | | Appreciation | | | Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | |
Conservative Allocation Fund | | $ | 119,228,519 | | | $ | 23,296,668 | | | $ | (242,761 | ) | | $ | 23,053,907 | |
Moderate Allocation Fund | | | 140,046,350 | | | | 40,557,058 | | | | (382,027 | ) | | | 40,175,031 | |
Growth Allocation Fund | | | 72,479,753 | | | | 26,113,277 | | | | (222,351 | ) | | | 25,890,926 | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Allocation Funds are permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2013 (“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 the taxable years ending before September 30, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of September 30, 2013, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
Moderate Allocation Fund
| | | | |
Post-Enactment Losses: | | $ | 0 | |
| | | | |
Pre-Enactment Losses: | | | | |
Expiring 2018 | | $ | 2,584,000 | |

Expiring 2019 | | | 603,000 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 3,557,000 | |
| | | | |
The Allocation Funds utilized capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable capital gains realized in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 of approximately:
| | | | |
Conservative Allocation Fund | | $ | 331,000 | |
Moderate Allocation Fund | | | 4,228,000 | |
Growth Allocation Fund | | | 2,675,000 | |
The Growth Allocation Fund elected to treat late year ordinary losses of approximately $25,000 as having been incurred in the following fiscal year (September 30, 2014).
Management has analyzed the Company’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 Allocation Funds’ financial statements for the current reporting period. The Company’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 Company offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. 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%. 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 will 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 of purchase. Class R 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 Allocation Funds to one or more other share classes of the Allocation Funds as presented in the table of transactions in shares of common stock.
There are 6.25 billion shares of $.001 par value of common stock of the Company authorized which are divided into six series. Each of the Allocation Funds, comprising three of the six series, has five classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z, which consists of 250 million, 250 million, 250 million, 100 million and 150 million authorized shares, respectively.

Note 7. Borrowings
The Allocation Funds, 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 Allocation Funds did not utilize the SCA during the six months ended March 31, 2014.
