Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for PGIM Balanced Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Fund’s name has changed. Your Fund’s management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.*
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important 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. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.
Thank you for choosing our family of funds.
Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President
PGIM Balanced Fund

Benchmark Definitions
Customized Blend Index—The Customized Blend Index is made up of the S&P 500 Index (50%), the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (40%), the Russell 2000 Index (5%), and the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Net Dividend (MSCI EAFE ND) Index (5%). The Net Dividend (ND) version of the MSCI EAFE Index reflects the impact of the maximum withholding taxes on reinvested dividends. Each component of the Customized Blend Index is an unmanaged index generally considered to represent the performance of its asset class. The Customized Blend Index is intended to provide a theoretical comparison to the Fund’s performance based on the amounts allocated to each class under the Fund’s investment strategies. The average annual total return for the Index measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R6 shares is 4.89%.
Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index—The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade securities issued by the US government and its agencies and by corporations with between one and 10 years remaining to maturity on the securities. It gives a broad look at how US investment-grade bonds have performed. The average annual total return for the Index measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R6 shares is 2.56%.
Your Fund’s Performance(continued)
S&P 500 Index—The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of over 500 stocks of large US public companies. It gives a broad look at how stock prices in the United States have performed. The average annual total return for the Index measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R6 shares is 7.31%.
Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average—The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) is based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds universe for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average are funds whose primary objective is to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of both stocks and bonds. Typically, the stock:bond ratio ranges around 60%:40%. The average annual total return for the Lipper Average measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R6 shares is 2.53%.
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. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges 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 held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2019. 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 PGIM 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
Fees and Expenses(continued)
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, 2019, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series: PGIM Balanced Fund, PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and PGIM Jennison Growth Fund, PGIM Allocation Fund, PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund and PGIM Allocation Fund, each of which arenon-diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act and may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single company or other issuer than a diversified fund. Investing in anon-diversified fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of anon-diversified fund. These financial statements relate only to the PGIM Balanced Fund (the “Series”).
The investment objective of the Series is to seek income and long-term growth of capital.
1. Accounting Policies
The Series follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services —Investment Companies. 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 and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. 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.
For the fiscal reportingperiod-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some
of the Series’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Series shares.
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 Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event 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 ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally 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. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Series is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-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 OTC market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Series utilizes the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on 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. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
OTC derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Series utilizes the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also includes consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing OTC derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated OTC derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain OTC derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are generally valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the daily settlement price is not public.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that 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 Manager 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 unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities:Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Series limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Series may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities:Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Series’ LRMP 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. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Series’ investments in restricted securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.
Connecticut Avenue Securities (CAS) and Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR):The Series purchased government controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities that transfer most of the cost of defaults to private investors including the Series. These are insurance-like products that are called CAS by Fannie Mae and STACR securities by Freddie Mac. Payments on the securities are based primarily on the performance of a reference pool of underlying mortgages. With such securities, the Series could lose some or all of its principal if the underlying mortgages experience credit defaults.
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 generally isolate that portion of
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
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, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, the Series does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.
Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Forward and Cross Currency Contracts:A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The Series enters into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposure to certain currencies. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward and cross currency contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward and cross currency contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Series’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency.
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, value of
equities or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Series currently owns or intends to purchase. The Series may also use options to gain additional market exposure. 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. 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 (loss) to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Series has realized a gain (loss). The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid at the closing of a purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain (loss). Gain (loss) on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Gain (loss) on written options is presented separately as net realized gain (loss) on options written transactions.
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. The Series, as purchaser of an OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.
When the Series writes an option on a swap, 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 (loss). When the contract expires or
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.
The Series invested in 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. 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. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Series since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Forward Rate Agreements:Forward rate agreements represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount on a fixed future date. The Series entered into forward rate agreements to gain yield exposure based on anticipated market conditions at the specified termination date of the agreement.
Swap Agreements:The Series entered into certain types of swap agreements detailed in the disclosures below. 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 OTC market and may be executed either directly with a counterparty(“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. Any upfront premiums paid and received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule 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 objective. The Series used interest rate swaps to maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or 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 present value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life.
Master Netting Arrangements:The Company, on behalf of the Series, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a Subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Series. 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. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-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 toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Company, on behalf of the Series, is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Series is held in a segregated account by the Series’ custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold orre-pledged, is presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Series is segregated by the Series’ custodian and identified in the Schedule 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 no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such OTC 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, 2019, the Series has not met conditions under such agreements which give the counterparty the right to call for an early termination.
Forward currency contracts, forward rate agreements, written options, short sales, 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.
Warrants and Rights:The Series holds warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Series until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board approved fair valuation procedures.
Securities Lending:The Series lends 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 an affiliated 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. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. 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 in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Series also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of
the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Income from securities lending, net”.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs):The Series invests in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income:Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Series becomes aware of such dividends. 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 class specific expenses and waivers, which are allocated as noted below) and unrealized and realized gains (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. Class specific expenses and waivers, where applicable, are charged to the respective share classes. Class specific expenses include distribution fees and distribution fee waivers, shareholder servicing fees, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable.
Taxes: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, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions:The Series expects to pay dividends from net investment income quarterly. Distributions from net realized capital and currency gains, if any, are declared and paid 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 theex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) andpaid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates:The preparation of 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.

The Series bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Series’ average daily net assets up to and including $1 billion and 0.60% of such average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate before any waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.65% for the six months ended March 31, 2019.
The Manager has contractually agreed, through January 31, 2020, to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements to 1.00% of average daily net assets for Class A shares, 1.63% of average daily net assets for Class R shares. and 0.65% of average daily net assets for Class R6 shares. This contractual expense limitation excludes interest, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and certain other Fund expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales. Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Manager in accordance with this agreement may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such waiver/reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year.
Where applicable, the Manager agrees to waive management fees or shared operating expenses on any share class to the same extent that it waives similar expenses on any other share class. In addition, total annual operating expenses for Class R6 shares will not exceed total annual operating expenses for Class Z shares. Fees and/or expenses waived and/or reimbursed by PGIM Investments may be recouped by PGIM Investments within the same fiscal year during which such waiver and/or reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for the fiscal year.
The Company, on behalf of 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, Class Z and Class R6 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 the plans of distribution (the “Distribution 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 and Class R6 shares of the Series.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.30%, 1%, 1% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through January 31, 2020 to limit such fees to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.

The Manager has analyzed the Series’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local 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, state and local 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.
6. Capital and Ownership
The Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Z and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximumfront-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1%, although they are not subject to an initial sales charge. The Class A CDSC is waived for certain retirement and/or benefit plans. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
purchase Class A shares at net asset value. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held.

7. Borrowings
The Company, on behalf of 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 October 4, 2018 through October 3, 2019. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The Series’ portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount, allocated based upon a method approved by the Board, is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Prior to October 4, 2018, the Funds had another
SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The interest on borrowings under the SCAs is paid monthly and at a per annum interest rate based upon a contractual spread plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the1-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent.
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Series utilized the SCA during the reporting period ended March 31, 2019. The average daily balance for the 8 days that the Series had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $5,606,625, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $8,135,000. At March 31, 2019, the Series did not have an outstanding loan amount.
8. Risks of Investing in the Series
The Series’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Bond Obligations Risk:The Series’ holdings, share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed-income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Series for redemption before it matures and the Series may not be able to reinvest at the same level and therefore would earn less income.
Derivatives Risk:Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Series. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Series will depend on the Subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivative transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Series. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Series’ derivatives positions. In fact, many OTC derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. OTC derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Series.
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks:The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Series invests could go down. The Series’ holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Series can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Interest Rate Risk:The value of an investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Series may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Series’ holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk. The Series may face a heightened level of interest rate risk as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s policies. The Series’ investments may lose value if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the Subadviser.
Liquidity Risk:The Series may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Series are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Series may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Series is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Series may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Series may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade orders of a given size. The reduction in dealer market-making capacity in the fixed-income markets that has occurred in recent years also has the potential to reduce liquidity. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Series’ value or prevent the Series from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.
Market and Credit Risk:Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Series’ securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Series fall, the value of an investment in the Series will decline. Additionally, the Series may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities Risk:U.S. Government and agency securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Not all U.S. Government securities are insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government; some are only insured or guaranteed by the issuing agency, which must rely on its own resources to repay the debt. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to RegulationS-X to update and simplify the disclosure requirements for registered investment companies by eliminating requirements that are redundant or duplicative of US GAAP requirements or other SEC disclosure requirements. The new amendments require the presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total, rather than the components, of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for the parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and certain tax adjustments that were reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Manager has adopted the amendments and reflected them in the Series’ financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Series’ policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has determined to early adopt aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately. At this time, the Manager is evaluating the implications of certain other provisions of the ASU related to new disclosure requirements and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
10. Subsequent Event
At a meeting held on December 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Series approved a plan of reorganization whereby the PGIM Balanced Fund would acquire the PGIM Conservative Allocation Fund and the PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund. This reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the PGIM Conservative Allocation Fund and the PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund on May 7, 2019 and is scheduled to be completed on or about June 21, 2019.

Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is
part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Fund’s name has changed. Your Fund’s management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.*
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important 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. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.
Thank you for choosing our family of funds.
Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President
PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund

***The Lipper Customized Blend Funds Average is a blend of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds and Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Averages. The Lipper Customized Blend Funds Average was utilized because the Fund’s manager believes that a blend of the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds and Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Averages provides a more appropriate basis for Fund performance comparisons, although Lipper classifies the Fund in its Multi-Cap Value Funds universe.

annual total return for the Lipper Average measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R6 shares is 5.59%.

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 held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2019. 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 PGIM 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

PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 9 | |
Fees and Expenses(continued)
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, 2019, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Company consists of six series: PGIM Balanced Fund, PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and PGIM Jennison Growth Fund, each of which are diversified funds and PGIM Growth Allocation Fund, PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund and PGIM Conservative Allocation Fund, each of which arenon-diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act and may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single company or other issuer than a diversified fund. Investing in anon-diversified fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of anon-diversified fund. These financial statements relate only to the PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund (the “Series”).
The investment objective of the Series is to achieve long-term growth of capital.
1. Accounting Policies
The Series follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. 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 and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. 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.
For the fiscal reportingperiod-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign
| | | | |
PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 23 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Series’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Series shares.
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 Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event 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 ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally 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. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Series is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-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.
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 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 Manager 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 unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities:Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Series limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Series may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities:Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Series’ LRMP 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. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Series’ investments in restricted 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 generally isolate that portion of
| | | | |
PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 25 | |
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
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, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions.
Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements:The Company, on behalf of the Series, is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a Subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Series. 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. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-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 toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending:The Series lends 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 an affiliated 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. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. 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 in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Series also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Income from securities lending, net”.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs):The Series invests in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income:Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Series becomes aware of such dividends. 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 class specific expenses and waivers, which are allocated as noted below) and unrealized and realized gains (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. Class specific expenses and waivers, where applicable, are charged to the respective share classes. Class specific expenses include distribution fees and distribution fee waivers, shareholder servicing fees, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable.
Taxes: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, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions:The Series expects to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital and currency 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
| | | | |
PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 27 | |
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
principles, are recorded on theex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) andpaid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates:The preparation of 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.
2. Agreements
The Company, on behalf of the Series, has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the Subadviser’s performance of such services. In addition, under the management agreement, PGIM Investments provides all of the administrative functions necessary for the organization, operation and management of the Series. PGIM Investments administers the corporate affairs of the Series and, in connection therewith, furnishes the Series with office facilities, together with those ordinary clerical and bookkeeping services which are not being furnished by the Series’ custodian and the Series’ transfer agent. PGIM Investments is also responsible for the staffing and management of dedicated groups of legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel necessary for the operation of the Series. The legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel are also responsible for the management and oversight of the various service providers to the Series, including, but not limited to, the custodian, transfer agent, and accounting agent.
PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison will furnish 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. PGIM Investments 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 the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Series average daily net assets up to $300 million and 0.575% of the average daily net assets of the Series over $300 billion. The effective management fee rate before any waivers and/or expense reimbursements was 0.60% for the six months ended March 31, 2019.
The Manager has contractually agreed, through January 31, 2020, to limit , to limit transfer agency, shareholder servicing,sub-transfer agency, and blue sky fees, as applicable, to the extent that such fees cause the total annual operating expenses to exceed 2.03% of average
daily net assets for Class B shares or 1.53% of average daily net assets for Class R shares. This contractual waiver excludes interest, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and certain other Series expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales. Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Manager in accordance with this agreement may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such waiver/reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year.
Where applicable, the Manager agrees to waive management fees or shared operating expenses on any share class to the same extent that it waives similar expenses on any other share class. In addition, total annual operating expenses for Class R6 shares will not exceed total annual operating expenses for Class Z shares. Fees and/or expenses waived and/or reimbursed by PGIM Investments may be recouped by PGIM Investments within the same fiscal year during which such waiver and/or reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year.
The Company, on behalf of 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, Class Z and Class R6 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 the plans of distribution (the “Distribution 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 and Class R6 shares of the Series.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.30%, 1%, 1% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through January 31, 2020 to limit such fees to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.
For the reporting period ended March 31, 2019, PIMS received $59,554 infront-end sales charges resulting from sales of Class A shares. Additionally, for the reporting period ended March 31, 2019, PIMS received $1,193 and $155 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by certain Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively. From these fees, PIMS paid such sales charges to broker-dealers, who in turn paid commissions to salespersons and incurred other distribution costs.
PGIM Investments, PIMS and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

Transfer agent’s fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certainout-of-pocket expenses paid tonon-affiliates, where applicable.
The Series may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule17a-7 procedures. Rule17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the SEC, the Series’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCO’s written representation that all such17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Series’ Rule17a-7 procedures. Any17a-7 transactions for the reporting period are disclosed in the “Portfolio Securities” note, below.

shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a quarterly basis approximately seven years after purchase. Class B shares are closed to new purchases.

7. Borrowings
The Company, on behalf of 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 October 4, 2018 through October 3, 2019. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The Series’ portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount, allocated based upon a method approved by the Board, is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Prior to October 4, 2018, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The interest on borrowings
under the SCAs is paid monthly and at a per annum interest rate based upon a contractual spread plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the1-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent.
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Series utilized the SCA during the reporting period ended March 31, 2019. The average daily balance for the 2 days that the Series had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $461,500, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.69%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $739,000. At March 31, 2019, the Series did not have an outstanding loan amount.
8. Risks of Investing in the Series
The Series’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks:The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Series invests could go down. The Series’ holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Series can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Foreign Securities Risk:The Series’ investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Series may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Series’ investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Market and Credit Risk:Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Series’ securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Series fall, the value of an investment in the Series will decline. Additionally, the Series may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions defaults.

9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to RegulationS-X to update and simplify the disclosure requirements for registered investment companies by eliminating requirements that are redundant or duplicative of US GAAP requirements or other SEC disclosure requirements. The new amendments require the presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total, rather than the components, of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for the parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and certain tax adjustments that were reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Manager has adopted the amendments and reflected them in the Series’ financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Series’ policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has determined to early adopt aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately. At this time, the Manager is evaluating the implications of certain other provisions of the ASU related to new disclosure requirements and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for PGIM Jennison Growth Fund informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is
part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Fund’s name has changed. Your Fund’s management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.*
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important 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. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.
Thank you for choosing our family of funds.
Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President
PGIM Jennison Growth Fund
May 15, 2019
*The Prudential Day One Funds did not change their names.

Your Fund’s Performance(continued)
Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average—The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Average (Lipper Average) is based on the average return of all funds in the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds universe for the periods noted. Funds in the Lipper Average invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) greater than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. The average annual total return for the Lipper Average measured from the month-end closest to the inception date of the Fund’s Class R2 and R4 shares is 11.66%, and 14.61% for Class R6 shares.
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. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges 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 held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2019. 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 PGIM 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

Fees and Expenses(continued)
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, 2019, and divided by the 365 days in the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 (to reflect the six-month period). Expenses presented in the table include the expenses of any underlying portfolios in which the Fund may invest.

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited)
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Company consists of six series: PGIM Balanced Fund, PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and PGIM Jennison Growth Fund, each of which are diversified funds and PGIM Conservative Allocation Fund, PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund and PGIM Growth Allocation Fund, each of which arenon-diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act and may invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a single company or other issuer than a diversified fund. Investing in anon-diversified fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of anon-diversified fund. These financial statements relate only to the PGIM Jennison Growth Fund (the “Series”).
The investment objective of the Series is to achieve long-term growth of capital.
1. Accounting Policies
The Series follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies.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 and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. 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.
For the fiscal reportingperiod-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign
| | | | |
PGIM Jennison Growth Fund | | | 23 | |
Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Series’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Series shares.
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 Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, and derivative instruments, such as futures or options, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event 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 ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally 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. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time the Series is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments inopen-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.
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 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 Manager 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 unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Illiquid Securities:Pursuant to Rule22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Series has adopted a Board approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that the Series limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Series may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable.
Restricted Securities:Securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the issuing company or from an affiliate of the issuer are considered restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (“restricted securities”). Such restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Restricted securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid investments pursuant to the Series’ LRMP 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. Therefore, these Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, may be classified higher than “illiquid” under the LRMP (i.e. “moderately liquid” or “less liquid” investments). However, the liquidity of the Series’ investments in restricted 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 generally isolate that portion of

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
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, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions.
Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Series’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Master Netting Arrangements:The Company, on behalf of the Series,is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a Subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Series. 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. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right toset-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 toset-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends toset-off and the right ofset-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities Lending:The Series lends 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 an affiliated 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. In the event of significant appreciation in value of securities on loan on the last business day of the reporting period, the financial statements may reflect a collateral value that is less than the market value of the loaned securities. Such shortfall is remedied as described above. 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 in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The borrower receives all interest and dividends from the securities loaned and such payments are passed back to the lender in amounts equivalent thereto. The Series also continues to recognize any unrealized gain (loss) in the market price of the securities loaned and on the change in the value of the collateral invested that may occur during the term of the loan. In addition, realized gain (loss) is recognized on changes in the value of the collateral invested upon liquidation of the collateral. Net earnings from securities lending are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Income from securities lending, net”.
Equity and Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (collectively equity REITs):The Series invests in equity REITs, which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Based on current and historical information, a portion of distributions received from equity REITs during the period is estimated to be dividend income, capital gain or return of capital and recorded accordingly. When material, these estimates are adjusted periodically when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the equity REITs.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income:Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Series becomes aware of such dividends. 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 class specific expenses and waivers, which are allocated as noted below) and unrealized and realized gains (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. Class specific expenses and waivers, where applicable, are charged to the respective share classes. Class specific expenses include distribution fees and distribution fee waivers, shareholder servicing fees, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable.
Taxes: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, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions:The Series expects to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital and currency 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 theex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) andpaid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates:The preparation of 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.
2. Agreements
The Company, on behalf of the Series, has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the Subadviser’s performance of such services.

PGIM Investments is also responsible for the staffing and management of dedicated groups of legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel necessary for the operation of the Series. The legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel are also responsible for the management and oversight of the various service providers to the Series, including, but not limited to, the custodian, transfer agent, and accounting agent.
PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison will furnish 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. PGIM Investments 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.

shares. Separately, the Manager has contractually agreed, through January 31, 2020, to limit transfer agency, shareholder servicing,sub-transfer agency, and blue sky fees, as applicable, to the extent that such fees cause the total annual operating expenses to exceed 1.10% of average daily net assets for Class R2 shares or 0.85% of average daily net assets for Class R4 shares. The contractual waiver and expense limitation excludes interest, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), acquired fund fees and expenses, and certain other Series expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales. Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Manager in accordance with this agreement may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such wavier/reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year.
Where applicable, the Manager agrees to waive management fees or shared operating expenses on any share class to the same extent that it waives similar expenses on any other share class. In addition, total annual operating expenses for Class R6 shares will not exceed total annual operating expenses for Class Z shares. Fees and/or expenses waived and/or reimbursed by PGIM Investments may be recouped by PGIM Investments within the same fiscal year during which such waiver and/or reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year.
The Company, on behalf of 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, Class Z, Class R2, Class R4 and Class R6 shares of the Series. The Series compensates PIMS for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class R2 shares, pursuant to the plans of distribution (the “Distribution 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, Class R4 and Class R6 shares of the Series.
Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, the Series compensates PIMS for distribution related activities at an annual rate of up to 0.30%, 1%, 1%, 0.75% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class R2 shares, respectively. PIMS has contractually agreed through January 31, 2020 to limit such fees to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares.
The Fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to Class R2 and Class R4 shares. Under the terms of the Shareholder Services Plan, Class R2 and Class R4 shares are authorized to pay to Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), its affiliates or third-party service providers, as compensation for services rendered to the shareholders of such Class R2 or Class R4 shares, a shareholder service fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R2 and Class R4 shares. The shareholder service fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.

6. Capital and Ownership
The Series offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Z, Class R2, Class R4 and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximumfront-end sales charge of 5.50%.

7. Borrowings
The Company, on behalf of 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 October 4, 2018 through October 3, 2019. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The Series’ portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount, allocated based upon a method approved by the Board, is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Prior to October 4, 2018, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The interest on borrowings under the SCAs is paid monthly and at a per annum interest rate based upon a contractual spread plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the1-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent.
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those

Notes to Financial Statements(unaudited) (continued)
portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Series utilized the SCA during the reporting period ended March 31, 2019. The average daily balance for the 8 days that the Series had loans outstanding during the period was approximately $2,274,250, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.55%. The maximum loan outstanding amount during the period was $4,551,000. At March 31, 2019, the Series did not have an outstanding loan amount.
8. Risks of Investing in the Series
The Series’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks:The value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Series invests could go down. The Series’ holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Series can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments.
Foreign Securities Risk:The Series’ investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Series may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Series’ investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Market and Credit Risk:Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Series’ securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Series fall, the value of an investment in the Series will decline. Additionally, the Series may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Series has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to RegulationS-X to update and simplify the disclosure requirements for registered investment companies by eliminating requirements that are redundant or
duplicative of US GAAP requirements or other SEC disclosure requirements. The new amendments require the presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total, rather than the components, of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for the parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and certain tax adjustments that were reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Manager has adopted the amendments and reflected them in the Series’ financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Series’ policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has determined to early adopt aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately. At this time, the Manager is evaluating the implications of certain other provisions of the ASU related to new disclosure requirements and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

Letter from the President

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for PGIM Asset Allocation Funds informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period ended March 31, 2019.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Fund’s name has changed. Your Fund’s management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.*
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important 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. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.
Thank you for choosing our family of funds.
Sincerely,

Stuart S. Parker, President

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 held through the six-month period ended March 31, 2019. 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 PGIM 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
The Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 10, 1995 and consists of six series (“Fund” or “Funds”): PGIM Balanced Fund, PGIM Jennison Equity Opportunity Fund and PGIM Jennison Growth Fund, each of which are diversified funds and PGIM Allocation Fund (“Conservative Allocation Fund”), PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund (“Moderate Allocation Fund”) and PGIM Allocation Fund (“Growth Allocation Fund”), each of which arenon-diversified funds for purposes of the 1940 Act. These financial statements relate only to the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund (collectively referred to as the “Allocation Funds”).
The investment objective of Conservative Allocation Fund is current income and a reasonable level of capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Moderate Allocation Fund is capital appreciation and a reasonable level of current income. The investment objective of the Growth Allocation Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Each of the three 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.
1. Accounting Policies
The Allocation Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies.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.
Securities Valuation:Each Allocation Fund holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. 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.
For the fiscal reportingperiod-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Various inputs determine how each Allocation Fund’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
Investments inopen-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.
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 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 Manager 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 unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income:Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Fund becomes aware of such dividends. 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 class specific expenses and waivers, which are allocated as noted below) and unrealized and realized gains (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. Class specific

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
expenses and waivers, where applicable, are charged to the respective share classes. Class specific expenses include distribution fees and distribution fee waivers, shareholder servicing fees, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, registration fees and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable.
Taxes:It is the Allocation Funds’ policy of each of the Allocation Funds 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, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions:The Conservative Allocation Fund expects to pay dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from net realized gains, if any, annually. The Moderate Allocation Fund and the Growth Allocation Fund expect to pay dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized 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 theex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) andpaid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates: The preparation of 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.
2. Agreements
The Company, on behalf of the Allocation Funds, has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. In addition, under the management agreement, PGIM Investments provides all of the administrative functions necessary for the organization, operation and management of the Allocation Funds. PGIM Investments administers the corporate affairs of the Allocation Funds and, in connection therewith, furnishes the Allocation Funds with office facilities, together with those ordinary clerical and bookkeeping services which are not being furnished by, the Allocation Funds’ custodian, and the Allocation Funds’ transfer agent. PGIM Investments is also responsible for the staffing and management of dedicated groups of legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel necessary for the operation of the Allocation Funds. The legal, marketing, compliance and related personnel are also
responsible for the management and oversight of the various service providers to the Allocation Funds, including, but not limited to, the custodian, transfer agent, and accounting agent.
PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with QMA LLC (formerly known as Quantitative Management Associates LLC) (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA will furnish 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. PGIM Investments pays for the services of QMA, the cost of compensation of officers of the Allocation Funds, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Allocation Funds. The Allocation Funds bear all other costs and expenses.

6. Capital and Ownership
The Allocation Funds offer Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class Z and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximumfront-end sales charge of 5.50%. Investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1%, although they are not subject to an initial sales charge. The Class A CDSC is waived for certain retirement and/or benefit plans. A special exchange privilege is also available for shareholders who qualified to purchase Class A shares at net asset value. 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 B shares are closed to new purchases. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% on sales made within 12 months of purchase. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis approximately
10 years after purchase. Class R, Class Z and Class R6 shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are available exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

7. Borrowings
The Company, on behalf of 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 October 4, 2018 through October 3, 2019. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. Each Allocation Fund’s portion of the commitment fee for the unused amount, allocated based upon a method approved by the Board, is accrued daily and paid quarterly. Prior to October 4, 2018, the Funds had another SCA that provided a commitment of $900 million and the Funds paid an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion of the SCA. The interest on borrowings under the SCAs is paid monthly and at a per annum interest rate based upon a contractual spread plus the higher of (1) the effective federal funds rate, (2) the1-month LIBOR rate or (3) zero percent.
Certain affiliated registered investment companies that are parties to the SCA include portfolios that are subject to a predetermined mathematical formula used to manage certain benefit guarantees offered under variable annuity contracts. The formula may result in large scale asset flows into and out of these portfolios. Consequently, these portfolios may be more likely to utilize the SCA for purposes of funding redemptions. It may be possible for those portfolios to fully exhaust the committed amount of the SCA, thereby requiring the Manager to allocate available funding per a Board-approved methodology designed to treat the Funds in the SCA equitably.
The Allocation Funds utilized the SCA during the reporting period ended March 31, 2019. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Funds utilized the credit facility.

8. Risks of Investing in the Funds
The Allocation Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Fund of Funds Risk:The value of an investment in the Allocation Funds will be related, to a substantial degree, to the investment performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. Therefore, the principal risks of investing in the Allocation Funds are closely related to the principal risks associated with these Underlying Funds and their investments. Because the Allocation Funds’ allocation among different Underlying Funds and direct
| | | | |
PGIM Asset Allocation Funds | | | 63 | |
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
investments in securities and derivatives will vary, an investment in the Allocation Funds may be subject to any and all of these risks at different times and to different degrees. Investing in an Underlying Fund will also expose the Allocation Funds to a pro rata portion of the Underlying Fund’s fees and expenses. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Series would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing the investment purpose.
Liquidity Risk:Certain Underlying Funds may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by an Underlying Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that the Underlying Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. If the Underlying Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments cannot be readily sold at the desired time or price, the Underlying Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell the instrument at all. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.
Market and Credit Risk:Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Allocation Funds’ securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Allocation Funds fall, the value of an investment in the Allocation Funds will decline. Additionally, the Allocation Funds may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Allocation Funds have unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Non-diversification Risk:Anon-diversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or industry than a diversified fund. Investing in anon-diversified fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in value of any one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of anon-diversified fund.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to RegulationS-X to update and simplify the disclosure requirements for registered investment companies by eliminating requirements that are redundant or duplicative of US GAAP requirements or other SEC disclosure requirements. The new amendments require the presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total, rather than
the components, of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for the parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and certain tax adjustments that were reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Manager has adopted the amendments and reflected them in the Allocation Funds’ financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Allocation Funds’ policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has determined to early adopt aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately. At this time, the Manager is evaluating the implications of certain other provisions of the ASU related to new disclosure requirements and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
10. Subsequent Event
At a meeting held on December 6, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Allocation Funds approved a plan of reorganization whereby the PGIM QMALarge-Cap Core Equity Fund would acquire the PGIM Growth Allocation Fund and PGIM Balanced Fund would acquire the PGIM Conservative Allocation Fund and the PGIM Moderate Allocation Fund, respectively. These reorganizations were approved by the shareholders of the Allocation Funds on May 7, 2019 and are scheduled to be completed on or about June 21, 2019.
