Advanced Series TrustFees and Expenses — (Unaudited)
June 30, 2015
As a contract owner investing in Portfolios of the Trust through a variable annuity or variable life contract, you incur ongoing costs,including management fees, and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (indollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other investment options. Thisexample does not reflect fees and charges under your variable annuity or variable life contract. If contract charges were included, thecosts shown below would be higher. Please consult the prospectus for your contract for more information about contract feesand charges.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period January 1, 2015through June 30, 2015.
Actual ExpensesThe first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information,together with the amount you invested, to estimate the Portfolio expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your accountvalue by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the firstline under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the Portfolio expenses you paid on your account during thisperiod. As noted above, the table does not reflect variable contract fees and charges.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison PurposesThe second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on thePortfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return.The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paidfor the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other investment options.To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the otherinvestment options.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect anycontract fees and charges, such as sales charges (loads), insurance charges or administrative charges. Therefore the second line of thetable is useful to compare ongoing investment option costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owningdifferent contracts. In addition, if these contract fees and charges were included, your costs would have been higher.
