Kallman, CFA Portfolio Manager, Senior Associate of QMA March 2011 TAX INFORMATION Contract owners should consult their Contract prospectus for information on the federal tax consequences to them. In addition, Contract owners may wish to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investments in the Contracts and the Portfolio, including the application of state and local taxes. The Portfolio currently intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Portfolio’s income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits are “passed through” pro rata directly to the participating insurance companies and retain the same character for federal income tax purposes. FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY COMPENSATION If you purchase your Contract through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the issuing insurance company, the Portfolio or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of the Contract, the selection of the Portfolio and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Contract over another investment or insurance product, or to recommend the Portfolio over another investment option under the Contract. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information. 13
SUMMARY: AST BLACKROCK GLOBAL STRATEGIES PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek a high total return consistent with a moderate level of risk. PORTFOLIO FEES AND EXPENSES The table below shows the fees and expenses that you may pay if you invest in shares of the Portfolio. The table does not include Contract charges. Because Contract charges are not included, the total fees and expenses that you will incur will be higher than the fees and expenses set forth in the table. See your Contract prospectus for more information about Contract charges. Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) Management Fees 1.00% Distribution (12b-1) Fees None Other Expenses .15% Acquired Fund Fees & Expenses .02% Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses 1.17% Example. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The table does not include Contract charges. Because Contract charges are not included, the total fees and expenses that you will incur will be higher than the fees and expenses set forth in the example. See your Contract prospectus for more information about Contract charges. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years AST BlackRock Global Strategies $119 $372 $644 $1,420 Portfolio Turnover. The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, the Portfolio’s turnover rate was 314% of the average value of its portfolio. INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE Principal Investment Strategies. The Portfolio is a global, multi asset-class fund that invests directly in, among other things, equity and equity-related securities, investment grade debt securities (including, without limitation, U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government securities), junk bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), exchange traded funds (ETFs), and derivative instruments, including commodity-linked derivative instruments. In seeking to achieve the Portfolio’s investment objective, BlackRock may cause the Portfolio’s assets to be allocated across 14 separate investment strategies. The Portfolio has several strategies that invest primarily in equity securities, several strategies that invest primarily in fixed-income securities, and a global tactical asset allocation strategy (the GTAA strategy) that, under normal circumstances, provides exposure to the equity and fixed-income asset classes along with real estate-related and commodity-related investments. The GTAA strategy is used: (i) as a completion strategy to access and adjust exposures to various asset classes and underlying strategy allocations and (ii) an overlay strategy to enhance the total return and manage portfolio risk at the aggregate level. Derivatives, ETFs, and cash securities may be used within the GTAA strategy. The Portfolio allocates its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no less than three countries). The Portfolio’s expected minimum, neutral, and maximum exposures to the relevant asset classes are set forth below. Asset Class Mimimum Exposure Neutral Exposure Maximum Exposure Equities U.S. Mid-Cap & Large-Cap Equity 5% 20% 35% Non-U.S. Equity 5% 20% 30% U.S. Small-Cap Equity 0% 0% 10% Total Equities 30%* 40% 50%** 14
