New Subadvisory Arrangements and Investment Strategy Change

Morgan Investment Management Inc., PGIM Fixed Income, a business unit of PGIM, Inc. and PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC; (ii) certain revisions to the principal investment strategy of the Portfolio; and (iii) revisions to the Portfolio's management fee rate schedule, which are expected to lower the Portfolio's effective management fee. These changes are expected to become effective on or about December 9, 2024.
In addition, the Board approved, subject to shareholder approval, the reorganization of the AST T. Rowe Price Asset Allocation Portfolio, also a series of the Trust, into the Portfolio (the Reorganization). The above changes are contingent on approval of the Reorganization by shareholders of AST T. Rowe Price Asset Allocation Portfolio.
