INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES/POLICIES<br />

AST International Value Portfolio: seeks capital growth. The Portfolio normally invests<br />

at least 80% of the Portfolio’s investable assets in equity securities. The Portfolio will<br />

invest at least 65% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies in at least three<br />

different countries, without limit as to the amount of assets that may be invested in a<br />

single country.<br />

AST Investment Grade Bond Portfolio: seeks to maximize total return, consistent with<br />

the preservation of capital and liquidity needs. Under normal market conditions the<br />

Portfolio invests at least 80% of its investable assets in bonds. Please note that you may<br />

not make purchase payments to this Portfolio, and that this Portfolio is available only with<br />

certain living benefits.<br />

AST Jennison Large-Cap Growth Portfolio: seeks long-term growth of capital. Under<br />

normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in<br />

the equity and equity-related securities of large-capitalization companies measured, at the<br />

time of purchase, to be within the market capitalization of the Russell 1000 ® Index. In<br />

deciding which equity securities to buy, the subadvisor will use a growth investment style<br />

and will invest in stocks it believes could experience superior sales or earnings growth, or<br />

high returns on equity and assets. Stocks are selected on a company-by-company basis<br />

using fundamental analysis. The companies in which the subadvisor will invest generally<br />

tend to have a unique market niche, a strong new product profile or superior management.<br />

AST Jennison Large-Cap Value Portfolio: seeks capital appreciation. Under normal<br />

market conditions, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its investable assets in the<br />

equity and equity-related securities of large-capitalization companies measured, at the<br />

time of purchase, to be within the market capitalization of the Russell 1000 ® Index. In<br />

deciding which equity securities to buy, the subadvisor will use a value investment style<br />

and will invest in common stocks that it believes are being valued at a discount to their<br />

intrinsic value, as defined by the value of their earnings, free cash flow, the value of their<br />

assets, their private market value, or some combination of these factors.<br />

AST J.P. Morgan Global Thematic Portfolio (formerly AST Horizon Growth Asset<br />

Allocation Portfolio): seeks capital appreciation consistent with its specified level of risk<br />

tolerance. The Portfolio will provide exposure to a long-term strategic asset allocation<br />

while having the flexibility to express shorter-term tactical views by capitalizing upon<br />

market opportunities globally. The Portfolio will invest across a broad range of asset<br />

classes, including, without limitation, domestic equity and debt, international and global<br />

developed equity, emerging markets equity and debt, high yield debt, convertible bonds,<br />

and real estate investment trusts. The Portfolio will invest primarily in individual securities<br />

in order to meet its investment objective and will also utilize derivative instruments for<br />

tactical positioning and risk management. Under normal circumstances, approximately<br />

65% of the Portfolio’s net assets (ranging between 55-75% depending on market<br />

conditions) will be invested to provide exposure to equity securities and approximately<br />

35% of its net assets (ranging between 25-45% depending on market conditions) will be<br />

invested to provide exposure to fixed-income securities. Such exposures may be obtained<br />

through: (i) the purchase of “physical” securities (e.g., common stocks, bonds, etc.); (ii)<br />

the use of derivatives (e.g., options and futures contracts on indices, securities, and<br />

commodities, currency forwards, etc.); and (iii) the purchase of certain exchange-traded<br />

funds.<br />

seeks to meet its objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of<br />

normally investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies<br />

located or operating in developed non-U.S. countries and emerging markets of the world.<br />

The equity securities will ordinarily be traded on a recognized foreign securities exchange<br />

or traded in a foreign over-the-counter market in the country where the issuer is<br />

principally based, but may also be traded in other countries including the United States.<br />
