INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES/POLICIES<br />

AST First Trust Balanced Target Portfolio: seeks long-term capital growth balanced by<br />

current income. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing approximately<br />

65% of its net assets in equity securities and approximately 35% of its net assets in fixedincome<br />

securities as of the annual security selection date. Depending on market<br />

conditions, the equity portion may range between 60-70% of the Portfolio’s net assets and<br />

the fixed-income portion may range between 30-40% of the Portfolio’s net assets. The<br />

revised allocations do not take into account the potential investment of up to 5% of the<br />

Portfolio’s assets in the “liquidity” investment sleeve. In seeking to achieve its investment<br />

objective, the Portfolio allocates its assets across multiple uniquely specialized investment<br />

strategies. On or about the annual selection date (currently March 1 under normal<br />

circumstances), the Portfolio establishes both the percentage allocations among the<br />

various investment strategies under normal circumstances and the percentage allocation of<br />

each security’s position within each of the investment strategies that invest primarily in<br />

equity securities.<br />

AST First Trust Capital Appreciation Target Portfolio: seeks long-term capital<br />

growth. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing approximately 80% of its<br />

net assets in equity securities and approximately 20% of its net assets in fixed-income<br />

securities as of the annual security selection date. Depending on market conditions, the<br />

equity portion may range between 75-85% of the Portfolio’s net assets and the fixedincome<br />

portion may range between 15-25% of the Portfolio’s net assets. The revised<br />

allocations do not take into account the potential investment of up to 5% of the Portfolio’s<br />

assets in the “liquidity” investment sleeve. In seeking to achieve its investment objective,<br />

the Portfolio allocates its assets across multiple uniquely specialized investment strategies.<br />

On or about the annual selection date (currently March 1 under normal circumstances), the<br />

Portfolio establishes both the percentage allocations among the various investment<br />

strategies under normal circumstances and the percentage allocation of each security’s<br />

position within each of the investment strategies that invest primarily in equity securities.<br />

AST Franklin Templeton Founding Funds Allocation Portfolio: seeks capital<br />

appreciation while its secondary investment objective will be to seek income. Under<br />

normal market conditions the Portfolio will seek to achieve its investment objectives by<br />

allocating 33 1 ⁄3% of its assets to each of the Portfolio’s three subadvisors. The Portfolio<br />

will normally invest in a combination of domestic and foreign equity and fixed-income<br />

and money market securities. Depending upon the Portfolio’s ability to achieve the<br />

necessary asset scale, the Trust’s ability to implement certain legal agreements and<br />

custody arrangements, and market, economic, and financial conditions as of the Portfolio’s<br />

commencement of operations, it may take several weeks for the Portfolio’s assets to be<br />

fully invested in accordance with its investment objective and policies. During that time, it<br />

is anticipated that all or a portion of the Portfolio’s assets will be invested in high grade,<br />

short term debt securities (both fixed and floating rate), money market funds, short-term<br />

bond funds, exchange-traded funds, and/or index futures contracts. A relatively long initial<br />

investment period may negatively affect the Portfolio’s investment return and ability to<br />

achieve its investment objective.<br />

AST Global Real Estate Portfolio: seeks capital appreciation and income. The Portfolio<br />

will normally invest at least 80% of its investable assets (net assets plus any borrowing<br />

made for investment purposes) in equity-related securities of real estate companies. The<br />

Portfolio will invest in equity-related securities of real estate companies on a global basis<br />

and the Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in ownership interests in<br />

commercial real estate through investments in private real estate.<br />

AST Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Portfolio: seeks long-term growth of<br />

capital. The Portfolio will pursue its objective by investing primarily in equity securities<br />

of companies that the subadvisor believes have the potential to achieve capital<br />

appreciation over the long-term. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by<br />

investing, under normal circumstances, in approximately 30 - 45 companies that are<br />

considered by the subadvisor to be positioned for long-term growth.<br />
