  Investment Type: Small Cap Stock — Value 20

Small capitalization securities are subject to market, liquidity and information risk. The price of the Fund's investments may go down and you could lose money on your investment. Small company securities may underperform, as compared to the securities of larger companies, and may also pose greater risk due to narrow product lines, limited financial resources, less depth in management or a limited trading market for their stocks. Some funds have recently benefited from historically unusual market conditions. As market conditions change, future performance of the funds will change. 20

*This fund is no longer available as a new investment option or for new plans.
1Performance data quoted represents past performance. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The Since Inception return is shown for those Funds that have less than 10 years of performance history. With the exception of the Guaranteed Income option, the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Due to recent market volatility, current performance may be less than the figures shown and certain funds may have increased their cash position for temporary, defensive purposes. Each Fund's portfolio may differ significantly from the securities held in the corresponding Index(es). Since each Index is not available for direct investment, its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.
2These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employer-sponsored nonqualified deferred compensation plan as defined in the Statement of Additional Information to the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account.
3The Advisor Shares were introduced 6/2003. Effective June 6, 2003, the Credit Suisse Strategic Value Fund merged into the Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund. The acquiring fund, the Large Cap Value Fund is the accounting survivor in connection with the reorganization and accordingly, its track record survives.
4The initial offering of Class T shares was on September 10, 1992, at which time a 0.65% 12b-1 fee (reduced to 0.50% effective January 1, 1996) was imposed. These are nonload-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employee benefit plan, as defined in the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account.
5Reflects waivers of all or a portion of the advisory fees and/or reimbursement of other expenses for all or some of the periods. Without such waivers and reimbursements, investment performance during all or some of the periods would have been lower. The adviser can terminate this waiver at any time, unless otherwise noted in the prospectus.
6The T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund - Advisor Class was established 3/31/2000; performance since that time is that of the Advisor Class. Performance prior to 3/31/2000 is based on the returns of the T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund original class shares.
7Effective July 1, 2002, the AIM Value Fund was renamed the “AIM Premier Equity Fund.” The Fund changed investment advisers on June 30, 1992. Reflects waivers of all or a portion of the advisory fees and/or reimbursement of other expenses for all or some of the periods. Without such waivers and reimbursements, investment performance during all or some of the periods would have been lower. Returns reflect the fact that there are no sales charges.
8Class F shares are purchased on a no-load basis and are available to new or existing Prudential plans where either the number of employees eligible in the plan and any retirement plan serviced by Prudential and offered by the same employer collectively exceeds 250, or the assets invested in Dreyfus Founders Funds through such plans collectively exceed $1 million.
9These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employee benefit plan as defined in the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account.
10Reflects waivers of all or a portion of the advisory fees and/or reimbursement of other expenses for all or some of the periods. Without such waivers and reimbursements, investment performance during all or some of the periods would have been lower. The adviser can terminate this voluntary waiver at any time, unless otherwise noted in the prospectus.
11The initial offering of Class T shares was on September 10, 1992, at which time a 0.65% 12b-1 fee (reduced to 0.50% effective January 1, 1996) was imposed. The Fund’s investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses, which would increase the Fund’s performance. Without the adviser’s reimbursement of some expenses, the Fund’s total return and yield would be lower. The Fund’s expense limitation may be terminated at any time, unless otherwise stated. These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employee benefit plan, as defined in the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account.
12The Fund’s investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses, which would increase the Fund’s performance. Without the adviser’s reimbursement of some expenses, the Fund’s total return and yield would be lower. The Fund’s expense limitation may be terminated at any time, unless otherwise stated. These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employee benefit plan, as defined in the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account.
13This Fund commenced operations on August 1, 2000, after the reorganization of the Retirement Shares of Janus Aspen Series into the Funds. The returns for the reorganized Funds reflect the performance of the Retirement Shares of Janus Aspen Series prior to the reorganization. (The performance of the Retirement Shares prior to May 1, 1997 reflects the performance of a different class of Janus Aspen Series, restated to reflect the fees and expenses of the Retirement Shares on May 1, 1997, ignoring any fee and expense limitations.) Return calculations include transactions since the establishment date of your account(s) or 1/1/92, whichever is later.
14The management fee component of Total Portfolio Expenses include a management fee as of 7/1/2004; other expense components are as of 5/31/2004. Effective 7/1/2004, Janus Capital agreed to reduce the annual rate of the Fund's management fee, as set forth in the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement with Janus Capital.
15The T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund - Advisor Class was established 3/31/2000; performance since that time is that of the Advisor Class. Performance prior to 3/31/2000 is based on the returns of the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund original class shares.
16The Fund’s investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses, which would increase the Fund’s performance. Without the adviser’s reimbursement of some expenses, the Fund’s total return and yield would be lower. The Fund’s expense limitation may be terminated at any time, unless otherwise stated. These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund’s sales charge, which is waived when purchased by an employee benefit plan as defined in the Fund’s prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies operated under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, the Fund’s historical performance record may not represent its current investment policy. Investing in small cap stocks may carry more risk than investing in stocks of larger, more well-established companies.
17These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund's sales charge, which is waived. Without such a waiver, investment performance would have been lower.
18The Fund invests in growth stocks of medium-sized companies, which tend to be more volatile than those of large companies, and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods. Growth stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other asset types during a given period. A fund’s historical performance, particularly over short time periods, should not be the sole factor in an investment decision.
19Effective December 12, 2001, the Fund changed its name from “Credit Suisse Warburg Pincus Emerging Growth (Advisor Class Shares)” to “Credit Suisse Emerging Growth (Advisor Class Shares).” The Fund’s investment objective and guidelines have remained the same.
20Small capitalization securities are subject to market, liquidity and information risk. The price of the Fund's investments may go down and you could lose money on your investment. Small company securities may underperform, as compared to the securities of larger companies, and may also pose greater risk due to narrow product lines, limited financial resources, less depth in management or a limited trading market for their stocks. Some funds have recently benefited from historically unusual market conditions. As market conditions change, future performance of the funds will change.
21Returns shown for the Janus Small Cap Value Fund prior to 4/21/03 are those of the Berger Small Cap Value Fund.
22In recent years, the Fund’s returns have sustained significant gains and losses due to market volatility in the technology sector.
23Institutional, Premier or Retail Share Class available, based on the amount of Prudential-managed assets and other criteria.
24Foreign securities are subject to special risks, such as currency fluctuation, political instability, and the potential for illiquid markets.
25These are no-load returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund's sales charge, which is waived. Without such a waiver, investment performance would have been lower. Class A shares, without a sales charge, are available to new or existing plans where either the number of employees eligible in the plan and any retirement plan offered by the same employer and serviced by Prudential collectively exceeds 100, or the assets invested in IDEX Funds, through such plans, collectively exceed $1 million.
26On January 1, 1993, the Fund implemented a Rule 12b-1 plan, which affects subsequent performance. These are non-load-adjusted returns, which do not include the effects of the Fund's sales charge, which is waived when purchased by a group investment program as defined in the Fund's prospectus, and would lower returns if taken into account. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. These, and other risks to which particular funds may be subject, are discussed in each fund's prospectus.
27Funds that concentrate investments in one or a group of industries may involve greater risks than more diversified funds, including greater potential for volatility. Some funds have recently benefited from historically unusual market conditions. As market conditions change, future performance of the funds will change.
28High yield securities are subject to a higher default risk and less liquidity than investment-grade securities. They are sensitive to the changes in the economy and to interest rate movement. A rise in interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of the investment.
29The Fund’s annualized yield for the 7 days ended June 30, 2004 was 0.31% and its average maturity was 54 days. Net yields are based on the average daily income dividend and average net asset value for the 7 days ended June 30, 2004. The 7-day net annualized yield is based on the average net income per share for the 7 days ended on the date of calculation and the offering price on that date. For an indefinite period of time, the investment adviser is waiving all or part of its fee and, in addition, may reimburse the Fund for all or part of its expenses. This increases income to the Fund and results in a higher return to investors. Otherwise, the 7-day yield would have been 0.26% and total return would have been lower. Total return represents the change in value of an investment after reinvesting all income and capital gains. Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return quotation. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
30Similar to the process followed by banks with certificates of deposit, Prudential declares a credited rate in advance that takes into account its expenses and other factors. Contact your Prudential representative for additional information on specific declared rates for your plan.
31The Guaranteed Income Fund (GIF) is a group annuity insurance product issued by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), Hartford, CT 06103 and is backed by the full faith and creditworthiness of the issuer. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of PRIAC and not on the value of the securities within the account. Deposits made to the GIF are deposited in PRIAC's general account. Payment obligations under the GIF represent an insurance claim supported by all general account assets. The GIF does not operate like a mutual fund, variable annuity product, or conventional fixed rate individual annuity product. Expenses related to the GIF are calculated by PRIAC and incorporated in the GIF crediting rate. Past interest rates are not indicative of future interest rates.
32Results are as of 6/30/2004.
