JennisonDryden Introduces Investment Monitor for Financial Advisors; Time-saving Report Helps Advisors Meet Their 401(k) Fiduciary Responsibility.

NEWARK, N.J. -- JennisonDryden Mutual Funds, Prudential Financial, Inc.'s (NYSE:PRU) proprietary fund family, today announced the introduction of Investment Monitor, a diagnostic plan-level review that helps financial advisors meet their 401(k) fiduciary responsibility. Investment Monitor provides concise, institutional quality reports that make it easy for financial advisors to determine if the investments are performing as expected against their relevant benchmarks and peer groups.

"Fiduciary oversight is a critical aspect of the job financial advisors perform for their 401(k) clients," said Scott Benjamin, vice president of marketing and product management for the JennisonDryden Mutual Fund family. "New regulations, coupled with increasingly sophisticated investment strategies, create an environment in which client portfolios should be periodically analyzed using a myriad of quantitative and qualitative metrics. Investment Monitor is designed to provide this information in a comprehensive, user-friendly electronic report that financial advisors can share with their clients."

Investment Monitor includes various technical measures, such as standard deviation, alpha and Sharpe ratios, and risk/return and style analysis for mutual funds from any provider. It aims to help financial advisors save time, cut down on administration duties, improve client relations, comply with regulatory mandates, and differentiate themselves from competitors.
