3 PRUDENTIAL S Day One Funds Helping Americans Plan for Retirement Our goal is to help Americans successfully reach their Day One of retirement. Our challenge was to provide target date funds that could help prepare participants for 30+ years of retirement. Prudential is a leader in solving for retirement income needs, and we have approached the design and glidepath construction of our Day One Funds with this focus. Because of our more than 85 years of experience managing pension and defined contribution plans, we truly understand participant demographics, longevity and life expectancy. We also understand investment behaviors that can undermine the ability to properly prepare for retirement. Solving for America s Longevity Challenge The good news is that Americans are living longer. But increased life expectancy brings with it the challenge of funding retirements that can last 30 years or more. By 2050, the average American life expectancy is estimated to be 83 years.* Based on our proprietary research and our conservative view, and because participants need a reliable source of income that will last as long as they live, we have modeled our Day One Funds with the assumption that participants will live to age [2050] Average American Life Expectancy * 68.4 [1950] ** 73.5 [1978] age in years * Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Table 22. Life expectancy at birth, at age 65, and at age 75, by sex, race, and Hispanic origin: United States, selected years , Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau, Table 10. Projected Life Expectancy at Birth by Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin for the United States: 2010 to 2050, ** In 1978, Congress amended the Internal Revenue Code which made 401(k) plans possible.

4 INCREASED LONGEVITY demands a different focus on risk Because protecting against longevity risk is so important, we believe most participants are best served over the long term by a through glidepath design. As a result, each Day One Fund continues to adjust its asset allocation for 10 years after its target date. To construct our glidepath, we applied asset liability modeling techniques historically done in the defined benefit market. To make the assumptions as realistic as possible, we analyzed multiple data sources, including more than 850,000 participants in plans serviced by Prudential. Asset Class Mix: GLIDEPATH Ten years prior to the target date, we incorporate The Retirement Red Zone concept into our glidepath. At this point, we begin to significantly shift from riskier assets to more conservative ones. Because addressing longevity risk is so important, the glidepath starts with a 97% allocation to domestic and foreign equities, as well as commodities and real estate (non-traditional investments) to help provide for potential growth. 97 % EQUITY & NON-TRADITIONAL EXPOSURE (%) As the target date approaches, equity exposure decreases. -10 YEARS TARGET DATE Because the Day One Funds have a through retirement glidepath, the exposure to equities continues to decrease to provide additional protection against equity market declines. This allocation stabilizes 10 years after the target date at (26% equities, 9% commodities and real estate, and 65% fixed income. +10 YEARS 35 % 0 YEARS TO RETIREMENT -40 yrs -30 yrs -20 yrs -10 yrs +10 yrs TARGET DATE DAY ONE FUNDS Income As shown in the chart above, each target date fund s asset allocation follows a glidepath that becomes more conservative as the applicable target date approaches by reducing exposure to equity investments and increasing exposure to fixed-income investments. The glidepath continues to adjust allocations in this manner for approximately 10 years past the target date, at which point the asset allocation of each target date fund will be similar to that of the Day One Income Fund. 2 Each Day One Fund s underlying asset allocation is reviewed periodically to determine whether the glidepath (or, in the case of the Day One Income Fund, the prescribed asset allocation) and underlying funds in which such Fund invests remain suitable to meet the Fund s investment objective. As a result of this review, the glidepath and/or the allocation of the Fund s assets among the underlying funds may be modified. Allocations as of Sept. 30, 2013.

5 Managing Risk Throughout The Retirement Red Zone Long-term investing is one thing. But managing investment risk during the retirement planning period and beyond is quite another. At Prudential, we call this period The Retirement Red Zone a critical transition time in any investor s life. Why is this period so important? Poor investment performance during this time can have a lasting effect on a portfolio, often leaving precious little time to recover. The result can be a retirement that runs out of money. Since developing the Red Zone concept in 2005, Prudential has conducted multiple research studies to examine both the effects of the markets on Retirement Red Zone investors, as well as investor behavior. The proprietary research continues to confirm that losses in this time period can have a significant impact on an investor s ability to retire when planned and live comfortably throughout his/her retirement. Over one-third (35%) of adults 62 and older say they have delayed retirement because of the recession. Source: How the Great Recession Has Changed Life in America, PEW Research Center June

6 DIVERSIFICATION with a purpose The Day One Funds are managed to specific target dates and are offered in five-year intervals through the year Participants typically select the fund with the target date that most closely matches when they plan to retire and may begin withdrawing their money. For those who are already retired or seek current income, there is the Day One Income Fund, which has the highest fixed-income exposure and is the most conservative of the Day One Funds. The Day One Funds are regularly reviewed to make sure the portfolios are aligned with their target dates and investment benchmarks. The goal is to minimize asset class drift and help ensure that the funds stay true to their intended glidepaths. Also, the fund allocations are adjusted each year in accordance with the glidepath. Despite these features, there are several factors and risks to consider in selecting a target date fund. In addition to anticipated retirement date, relevant factors for fund selection may include age, risk tolerance, other investments owned by the participant, and planned withdrawals. As with any investment, participants should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Funds before investing. It is possible to lose money in a Fund including near or following retirement and there is no guarantee that the Funds will provide adequate retirement income. Our Day One Funds diversified portfolios include a passive index core complemented by risk and fundamental actively managed investments. The broad array of domestic and foreign equities, fixed-income and non-traditional strategies was intentionally selected in an effort to provide competitive returns and diversification to help manage market, economic and other risks. The Day One Funds are fund of funds that offer: Equity exposure across market capitalizations and geography, to offer access to a broad opportunity set Passive and active equity strategies, to provide a diversity of investment approaches Fixed-income asset classes, to help lower volatility relative to other asset classes, which is particularly important as the target date approaches Non-traditional asset classes, to offer the potential for increased returns with low correlation to stocks and bonds, as well as the potential to hedge inflation 4

7 Additionally, our modeling found that including non-traditional assets, specifically real estate and commodities, as well as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), increases the portfolio s potential to moderate risk. Real Estate: We found that the inclusion of real estate improved the risk and return characteristics because of lower correlation to stocks and bonds. Private real estate investments also help to mitigate the volatility often associated with both equity strategies and real estate investment trusts (REITS). The combination of the growth potential of public real estate and the relative stability of private real estate may result in stronger risk-adjusted returns and less volatility. Commodities: Having generally a low or negative correlation to traditional asset classes, commodities benefits the efficient frontier by improving the risk and return characteristics. TIPS: Inflation-protected bonds are important to investors who are especially vulnerable to rising costs. Including TIPS in the Day One Funds helps mitigate this risk and further helps reduce overall volatility, as it has been one of the least volatile asset classes.

Many of the funds design features were based on our proprietary research with a focus on helping Americans reach their Day One of retirement and all of the days that follow. The Retirement Need A married couple may need income for 30 years of retirement*. Exposure to equities early in an investor s career is key. Significant losses late in workers careers can seriously jeopardize their ability to retire. Controlling investment expenses is critical. Exposure to non-traditional and non-correlating asset classes can potentially boost returns and reduce volatility. The Day One Funds Response The Funds use a through glidepath and model life expectancy to age 95. The Funds allocation to equity and non-traditional strategies early in the glidepath is among the highest in the industry. Steeper glidepath slope switching from equity to fixed income to help lower overall portfolio volatility during the Retirement Red Zone. Core of passive index funds complemented by a satellite of actively managed strategies offers a cost-effective approach. Exposure to commodities and private real estate, as well as TIPS, can offer significant risk/return benefits. * Source: Society of Actuaries Committee.

This combination addresses the needs of investors wanting broader exposure beyond the S&P 500. The Russell Developed ex-north America Large Cap Index measures the performance of the investable securities in developed countries globally, excluding companies assigned to the U.S. and Canada. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Indexes are unmanaged and index results to not reflect deductions for fees and other costs. All investing involves risk and there is no guarantee the Fund s objective will be achieved. An investment in a Day One Fund is subject to the risks of the investments of each underlying fund, which include: With respect to investment in equities, stock prices are more volatile than bond prices over the long term, and the value of such investment will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Small- and mid-cap investments may be more volatile than large-cap investments, and investments in non-u.s. markets may be more volatile than domestic investments due to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines. Fixed-income investments may fluctuate based on interest rate changes and are subject to the risk that the company may not be able to make timely payments of principal and interest. Further, TIPS may experience greater losses than other fixed- income securities with similar durations. Unique risks associated with real estate and commodities may cause these investments to react differently to market conditions than traditional investments. Commodities may be speculative and more volatile than investments in more traditional equity and debt securities. Asset allocation does not assure a gain or prevent a loss in declining markets. Investors should carefully consider a fund s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. A participant or beneficiary may lose money by investing in the funds, including losses near and following retirement, and there is no guarantee that the funds will provide adequate retirement income. A target date fund should not be selected based solely on age or retirement date, is not a guaranteed investment and the stated asset allocation may be subject to change. Investments in the Funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.
