Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation does not assure against a
loss in a declining market. Fixed income investments are subject to interest
rate risk, and their value will decline as interest rates rise.

The Dryden Total Return Bond Fund may invest in high yield ("junk") bonds (up to
50%), which are subject to greater credit and market risks; foreign securities
(up to 45%), which are subject to currency fluctuation and political
uncertainty; short sales, which involve costs and the risk of potentially
unlimited losses; leveraging, which may magnify losses; and derivative
securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks; and
mortgage-backed securities subject to prepayment risks. The Fund may not be
invested in all sectors at a given time. These risks may result in greater share
price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.

The Jennison Dryden Asset Allocation Funds are exposed to the same types of
risks as the underlying funds in which they invest. These risks include small-
and mid-cap stocks, which may be subject to more erratic market movements than
large cap stocks; high yield ("junk") bonds, which are subject to greater credit
and market risks; foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation
and political uncertainty; derivative securities, which may carry market,
credit, and liquidity risks; short selling and leveraging techniques, which may
exaggerate the fund`s NAV; and credit, interest rate and prepayment bond risks.
These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance
the Funds` objectives will be achieved.

Consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses
carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information
