The US economy is in the middle of a boom, with GDP expanding at the fastest growth rate since the early 1980s. Second quarter real GDP could expand at an annual rate of close to 10%, with full-year GDP growth likely to exceed 7%. The economy is firing on all cylinders. Consumer spending and housing are booming, while business investment and manufacturing are growing at the fastest pace in many years.

Financial markets benefitted from strong economic growth, very low interest rates, extremely accommodative central bank policies, booming company profits, and substantial progress on the public health front. During the three months ending June 30, world financial markets posted another positive quarter, with all major asset classes in the black. Domestic stocks outperformed international stocks, while growth stocks outperformed value stocks following two quarters of underperformance. Domestic equities continue to outperform fixed income with the S&P 500 registering a total return of 9% for the quarter, while the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate return was 1.83%. Speculative-grade corporate bonds were the best performing sector of the fixed-income market.

The performance quoted represents past performance. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance information current to the most recent month end, please call 1-877-778-2100 or visit our website at www.prudential.com. While past performance is never an indication of future results, short periods of performance may be particularly unrepresentative of long-term performance.

Investors should consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus, and if available the summary prospectus, contain complete information about the investment options available through your plan. Please call 1-877-778-2100 for a free prospectus and if available, a summary prospectus that contain this and other information about our mutual funds.

In providing this information Prudential Retirement is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity. Prudential Retirement may benefit from advisory and other fees paid to it or its affiliates for managing, selling, or settling of the Prudential mutual funds and other investment products or securities offered by Prudential Retirement or its affiliates. Investment vehicles sponsored or managed by a Prudential Retirement affiliate generate more revenue for the Prudential enterprise than non-proprietary investment vehicles. Prudential Retirement's sales personnel generally receive greater compensation if plan assets are invested in proprietary investment vehicles. Prudential Retirement may benefit directly from the difference between investment earnings of Prudential Retirement's stable value funds and the amount credited to deposits in those funds. Prudential Retirement may also benefit from broker-dealer or other entities’ co-sponsorship of Prudential conferences.

Some mutual funds and bank collective trusts, or their affiliates, compensate Prudential for selling their shares and servicing your retirement plan, as detailed in the Fact Sheet for that investment option. Forother investment options, the charges reflected in the Expense Ratio are typically deducted by Prudential in return for investment and record-keeping services, and product distribution. For some plans, thecharges also enable Prudential to satisfy the plan's request for allowances to defray plan expenses. Your retirement plan may not include investment options with lower fee structures or lower cost shareclasses in order to compensate Prudential, in the aggregate, for servicing your retirement plan.

Pricing for the plan sometimes includes contract charges. If included, the contract charges would reduce the performance shown. Contract charges are disclosed to the plan. Regarding plan participants, theexpense ratio shown in their statements and in the performance shown on their statements will reflect any contract charges imposed. The management fees, fund fees and contract charges compensatePrudential Retirement for the distribution and servicing associated with the plan. Other plan investment options may generate more or less revenue for Prudential Retirement than the fees associated with thefund the plan selects. If the aggregate revenue from the plan exceeds Prudential Retirement's associated costs, Prudential Retirement earns a profit. Otherwise, Prudential Retirement incurs a loss. Other plansinvesting in the Fund may have lower fees, but these are not available to the plan in order to compensate Prudential Retirement for distribution and plan servicing.

In providing this information Prudential Retirement is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity. Prudential Retirement may benefit from advisory and otherfees paid to it or its affiliates for managing, selling, or settling of the Prudential mutual funds and other investment products or securities offered by Prudential Retirement or its affiliates. Investment vehiclessponsored or managed by a Prudential Retirement affiliate generate more revenue for the Prudential enterprise than non-proprietary investment vehicles. Prudential Retirement's sales personnel generallyreceive greater compensation if plan assets are invested in proprietary investment vehicles. Prudential Retirement may benefit directly from the difference between investment earnings of PrudentialRetirement's stable value funds and the amount credited to deposits in those funds. Prudential Retirement may also benefit from broker-dealer or other entities' co-sponsorship of Prudential conferences.

Unregistered Insurance company separate accounts and collective investment trusts are investment vehicles available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans and government plans,and their participants. Unlike mutual funds and registered separate accounts, unregistered insurance company separate accounts and collective investment trusts are exempt from Securities andExchange Commission registration under both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, but are subject to oversight by state banking or insurance regulators, as applicable.Therefore, investors are generally not entitled to the protections of the federal securities laws. Also, unlike mutual funds and registered separate accounts, unregistered insurance company separateaccounts and collective investment trusts are not offered by prospectus.

The Guaranteed Deposit Fund is a group annuity product issued by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), Hartford, CT. Amounts contributed to the contract are deposited intoPRIAC's general account. Payment obligations and the fulfillment of any guarantees specified in the group annuity contract are insurance claims supported by the full faith and credit of PRIAC. PRIACperiodically resets the interest rate credited on contract balances, subject to a minimum rate specified in the group annuity contract. Past interest rates are not indicative of future rates. This product is neither amutual fund nor a bank product. PRIAC obligations are not insured by the FDIC or any other federal government agency. Contract form #GR9733 or state variation thereof.

Prudential Retirement is compensated in connection with this product by deducting an amount for investment expenses and risk from the investment of certain assets held in PRIAC's general account.Prudential Retirement may earn fee revenue plus the foregoing compensation if your plan has agreed to pay contract charges--which are sometimes paid with respect to plan/benefit recordkeeping, distributionservices and applicable elective services. For some plans, Prudential Retirement uses a portion of its aggregate compensation to satisfy the plan's request for allowances and for payments to defray planexpenses. If Prudential Retirement's aggregate compensation from this and other plan investment products exceeds the costs of servicing your plan, Prudential Retirement earns a profit; otherwise, there is aloss.

Economic ReviewSource: Robert DeLucia, Consulting Economist, Prudential Retirement• The U.S. economy is in the middle of a boom, with GDP expected to close the quarter at an annual rate close to 10%, its fastest growth ratesince the early 1980s. The economy is firing on all cylinders, led by consumer spending and residential construction. There is an enormouspent-up demand being unleashed with the reopening of the economy while credit conditions are favorable, and the supply of unsold homesare at record lows. Business investment and manufacturing are also strong, with each growing at the fastest pace in many years.

• The current earnings cycle is on track to be the strongest in decades with company earnings growing by more than 40% this year. Firstquarter earnings per share (EPS) for companies in the S&P 500 increased by 50%. There is encouraging evidence that business investmentspending could be entering a new era of growth, as capital formation could grow by 15% both this year and in 2022. Strength in final demandand a need to modernize the capital stock by incorporating new technologies are the primary drivers of potential investment gains. Soaringcash flow and a very low cost of capital are additional factors.

• The current spike in inflation emanates from the abrupt reopening of the economy and the inability of disrupted supply chains to keep pacewith the surge in spending. The sharp rise in household and business expenditures on goods has triggered distortions in the supply ofmaterials and labor that should prove temporary until supply chains are gradually restored to normal.

• The sharp slowdown in job creation in recent months appears to be related to supply, rather than demand factors. A confluence ofidiosyncratic factors, mostly related to the pandemic, has caused the labor force to contract, strongly suggesting that the recent slowdown inhiring is likely to prove temporary.

• International developed and emerging market equities registered modest gains for the quarter, continuing to lag U.S. equities on a relative basis. International markets have experienced slower market growthcompared to domestic markets mainly due to various delays in vaccine rollouts, which have shown strong improvement in June.

• European equities were the best performing component within International developed markets, supported by strong economic data. Many European countries were able to loosen restrictions on lockdowns asCovid-19 infections fell. United Kingdom equities also performed well, driven by a strong economic outlook and supportive fiscal and monetary policies.

• Japanese equities were the worst performing segment due to a slower vaccine roll-out and an increase in Covid-19 infections that delayed the lift of the state of emergency.

• In the face of rising inflation and a bumpy economic recovery, the Federal Reserve (Fed) left rates unchanged at its most recent meeting in June, but signaled they expect to raise interest rates by late 2023.Although the Fed has consistently reaffirmed their belief that current inflation is transitory, they recognized the building inflation pressures by bringing forward rate increase expectations.

• Following the headlines out of the Federal Reserve meeting, the yield curve flattened as investors rotated out of shorter-dated bonds and into longer-dated Treasuries. The yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasurybond fell 29 basis points to 1.45% from a recent high of 1.74% in the first quarter.

Second Quarter2021 Market Commentary

County Commissioners of Charles County,Maryland

Economic & Market Outlook• Aggregate spending and output are expected to surge over the next four quarters, with U.S. GDP expanding at the fastest pace in nearly 40years. Real GDP growth of 7% is expected in 2021 and 5% in 2022 while industrial production could expand by 5.5% this year and 3.5% in2022. Rapid economic growth, tight control over operating costs, solid productivity growth, and a return of pricing power mean that corporateprofitability could climb by a cumulative 60% over the next four quarters ending in March of next year.

• The world economy is positioned for its fastest period of growth in more than a decade with its first synchronized global recovery expectedin many years. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global GDP growth of 6% this year and another 4.5% in 2022, well above itsnormal trendline growth of 3.5%. Expansionary forces already in place should spark a strong economic revival in all major economies, led byChina and the U.S. Europe should rebound strongly in the second half of this year, as vaccinations allow economies to reopen at a fasterpace.

• The primary wild card in the investment outlook is the direction of inflation. The trend in inflation will dictate the direction of bond yields, thetiming and magnitude of the monetary tightening cycle, and the sustainability of the economic expansion. The weight of evidence pointstoward rising inflation in both wages and selling prices over the next several years, with core consumer inflation expected to average 3.5%for all this year before slowing to 3% in 2022. The pace of wage growth is currently at 3% and should return to its pre-pandemic peak of 4%by the end of this year. Wages could climb at a rate of 5% to 6% in 2022, which would be the fastest growth rate in several decades.

• Fiscal policy support for the economy will peak this year and could fade rapidly in 2022 depending upon future legislation from Congress.Similar to monetary policy, fiscal policy should support the equity market for the remainder of this year but could become a significantheadwind for stocks as structural repercussions emerge over the next several years. Federal budget deficits will become more pronounced ina rising interest rate environment, with the national debt expected to increase to a projected 115% of GDP, the highest level since 1945.

• The outlook for global equities remains favorable as expectations for economic and earnings trends appear extremely promising, both short-term and long-term interest rates are depressed, and world central bank policies remain highly accommodative, especially outside the U.S.Value stocks are expected to outperform Growth stocks in an environment of rapid economic and profit growth, rising inflationaryexpectations, and higher bond yields. Global bonds are faced with significant challenges as rising market interest rates implies weak returnsand the potential to be among the worst years in bond market history.

The Category Rank shown in the following sections are provided by Prudential Retirement. To create these rankings, Prudential uses MPI Stylus, a software product of Markov Processes International LLC, anddata from Morningstar's open-end universe. With MPI Stylus, Asset Class Categories are created based on the category information from Morningstar. Each Asset Class Category is a group of funds with similarinvestment objectives. Prudential assigns an Asset Class designation to each of the funds on our platform. Prudential then compares the total return performance of each of the funds on our platform against thetotal return performance of funds in the corresponding Asset Class Category for various time periods. This allows Prudential to create percentile rankings for each fund for each time period within the Asset ClassCategory.

The Asset Class Category against which a fund is ranked is identified at the bottom of each section with the words Category Median following the Asset Class Category name. For more information on how manyfunds are in each Asset Class Category, please refer to the Number of Funds In Category section below. All total return performance data used includes all expenses charged at the fund level. Contract charges,which are assessed at the plan level, are not included. If included, contract charges would lower the performance and therefore change a fund's percentile rankings.

Category rankings assigned by Prudential may differ from those provided directly by MorningstarTM, Inc. Prudential Retirement, Morningstar and Markov Processes International are not affiliated entities.

Description / ObjectiveThe Separate Account (the “Fund”) is sub-advised by Lazard Asset Management (the “Manager”)according to the Lazard International Equity Select with Emerging Markets strategy which seeks togenerate strong relative returns over a full market cycle by investing in companies with strongand/or improving financial productivity at attractive valuations. The strategy typically invests in40-70 securities of non-US companies, including those from emerging markets, with a marketcapitalization generally of $5 billion or greater. It strives to outperform its secondary benchmark,the MSCI All Country World ex-US Index, by 3.0% over a full market cycle.There is no assurance the objectives will be met.Investments in large cap funds are subject to market fluctuations and may lose value. Theinvestment risks associated with these funds may be impacted by a variety of factors, includinginvestment style, objective, holdings, and focus in particular industries. On average, investmentsin large cap funds may be considered more conservative than investments in small and mid-capfunds, potentially posing less overall volatility in exchange for less aggressive growth potential.Investing in foreign securities presents certain unique risks not associated with domesticinvestments, such as currency fluctuation and political and economic changes. This may result ingreater share price volatility.Top Five Holdings As of 06/30/2021SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO LTD 3.05%TENCENT HOLDINGS LTD 2.66%ABB LTD 2.50%RELX PLC 2.36%SANOFI-AVENTIS 2.36%

Portfolio Manager The name of the person(s) who determines which stocks, bonds and cashequivalents belong in the investment portfolio.

Price/Book Ratio Calculated as a weighted average of the price/book ratios of all stocks in theportfolio. This ratio is used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated bydividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share. A lowerP/B ratio could mean that the stock is undervalued. However, it could also mean that something isfundamentally wrong with the company. As with most ratios, be aware that this varies by industry.

Price/Earnings Ratio (Forward) The price of a stock divided by next year's earnings per shareestimate. P/E multiples enable investors to compare the relative value of stocks within a portfolio;they show how much an investor must pay for a company's earning power. A lower portfolio P/Eratio indicates that the stocks in a portfolio are not highly-valued relative to the market. Growth-oriented investments tend to have higher P/E ratios than value-oriented investments as investorsexpect higher earnings growth from the underlying companies and are therefore willing to pay apremium price.

Weighted Median Market Cap ($Bil) Calculated by ranking all stocks in a portfolio in ascendingorder based on total market capitalization. Using the stock's weight in a portfolio, the weightedmedian value is the value belonging to the company straddling the 50% barrier.

The investment manager’s philosophy is based on the opinion that markets revert towards fairvalue, but may greatly diverge from it at any point in time. The manager seeks to outperform itsbenchmarks through active management and focuses on a disciplined bottom-up fundamentalresearch to identify international companies with attractive valuations that have the ability todeliver growth above consensus expectations. The team is supported by seven global sectoranalysts with substantial industry experience.   APPROACH The investment manager utilizes a disciplined, bottom-up, fundamental research process focusedon identifying companies with attractive valuations that can deliver above consensus earningsgrowth. The process begins with an initial screen by market capitalization and trading volume toreduce the investment universe from approximately 20,000 companies to a core research list ofabout 450 companies. Company visits, financial analysis, and valuation techniques are then usedto construct a portfolio of 80-90 stocks that include the best ideas from regional portfolios. Themanager employs a robust risk management process to control the risk in the portfolio and ensurethat active bets appropriately reflect the manager’s conviction.  GUIDELINES The assets will be invested primarily in foreign common stocks and other equity securities ofissuers organized or conducting business in countries other than the United States. Equitysecurities include exchange-traded, over-the-counter (“OTC”) and unlisted common and preferredstocks, subscription rights, interests in government-owned or controlled enterprises, anddepositary receipts for foreign stocks. > The Fund will normally be fully invested (maximum 10% cash). > The Fund will typically hold between 80 and 90 securities. The Fund may hold more securities atany one point in time, but it should not hold less than 60 securities.  > The manager may use options, futures, and forward contracts, but not in a manner whichleverages the portfolio. > Equity holdings in any single company should not exceed their weight in the benchmark by morethan 4% and should not exceed 5% of the outstanding stock issued by the Company. > Equity holdings in one sector should not exceed +- 10% of weightings in the MSCI EAFE Index. > Equity holdings in one region should not exceed +- 20% of weightings in the MSCI EAFE Index. > Allocations to small cap-stocks (companies with market capitalizations of $2 billion or less) willnot exceed 20% of the Fund’s market value. > Allocations to emerging markets will not exceed 10% of the Fund’s market value. > Illiquid securities, which are not readily marketable, may represent no more than 10% of theFund measured at market value. > Investments can include securities described in Rule 144A. > The Fund may not: > invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management; > make short sales of securities; or > purchase securities on margin.    Morningstar RatingTM (Group Annuity- Variable Annuity Subaccounts) The MorningstarRating™ is provided for those group variable annuities with at least a three-year history.

Portfolio Manager The name of the person(s) who determines which stocks, bonds and cashequivalents belong in the investment portfolio.

Price/Book Ratio Calculated as a weighted average of the price/book ratios of all stocks in theportfolio. This ratio is used to compare a stock's market value to its book value. It is calculated bydividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share. A lowerP/B ratio could mean that the stock is undervalued. However, it could also mean that something isfundamentally wrong with the company. As with most ratios, be aware that this varies by industry.

Price/Earnings Ratio (Forward) The price of a stock divided by next year's earnings per shareestimate. P/E multiples enable investors to compare the relative value of stocks within a portfolio;they show how much an investor must pay for a company's earning power. A lower portfolio P/Eratio indicates that the stocks in a portfolio are not highly-valued relative to the market. Growth-oriented investments tend to have higher P/E ratios than value-oriented investments as investorsexpect higher earnings growth from the underlying companies and are therefore willing to pay apremium price.

Weighted Median Market Cap ($Bil) Calculated by ranking all stocks in a portfolio in ascendingorder based on total market capitalization. Using the stock's weight in a portfolio, the weightedmedian value is the value belonging to the company straddling the 50% barrier.
