EXHIBIT 99.B5(b)
PRUDENTIAL-BACHE GLOBAL GENESIS FUND, INC.
Subadvisory Agreement
Agreement made as of this 28th day of September, 1989 between Prudential
Mutual Fund Management Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("PMF" or the "Manager"),
and The Prudential Investment Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation (the
"Subadviser").
WHEREAS, the Manager has entered into a Management Agreement, dated
September 28, 1989(the "Management Agreement"), with Prudential-Bache Global
Genesis Fund,Inc. (the "Fund"), a Maryland corporation and a diversified open-
end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act"), pursuant to which PMF will act as Manager of the Fund.
WHEREAS, PMF desires to retain the Subadviser to provide investment
advisory services to the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund and
the Subadviser is willing to render such investment advisory services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. (a) Subject to the supervision of the Manager and of the Board of
Directors of the Fund, the Subadviser shall manage the investment
operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund's portfolio,
including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance
with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated
in the Prospectus (such Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from time to time,
being herein called the "Prospectus"), and subject to the following
understandings:
(i) The Subadviser shall provide supervision of the Fund's
investments and determine from time to time what investments and
securities will be purchased, retained, sold or loaned by the Fund,
and what portion of the assets will be invested or held uninvested as
cash.
(ii) In the performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement, the Subadviser shall act in conformity with the Articles
of Incorporation, By-Laws and Prospectus of the Fund and with the
instructions and directions of the Manager and of the Board of
Directors of the Fund and will conform to and comply with the
requirements of the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and
all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
(iii) The Subadviser shall determine the securities and futures
contracts to be purchased or sold by the Fund and will place orders
with or through such persons,brokers,brokers or futures commission
merchants (including but not limited to Prudential-Bache Securities
Inc.) to carry out the policy with respect to brokerage as set forth
in the Fund's Registration Statement and Prospectus or as the Board
of Directors may direct from time to time. In providing the Fund
with investment supervision, it is recognized that the Subadviser
will give primary consideration to securing the most favorable price
and efficient execution. Within the framework of this policy, the
Subadviser may consider the financial responsibility, research and
investment information and other services provided by brokers,
dealers or futures commission merchants who may effect or be a party
to any such transaction or other transactions to which the
Subadviser's other clients may be a party. It is understood that
Prudential-Bache Securities Inc. may be used as principal broker for
securities transactions but that no formula has been adopted for
allocation of the Fund's investment transaction business. It is also
understood that it is desirable for the Fund that the Subadviser have
access to supplemental investment and market research and security
and economic analysis provided by brokers or futures commission
merchants who may execute brokerage transactions at a higher cost to
the Fund than may result when allocating brokerage to other brokers
on the basis of seeking the most favorable price and efficient
execution. Therefore, the Subadviser is authorized to place orders
for the purchase and sale of securities and futures contracts for the
Fund with such brokers or futures commission merchants, subject to
review by the Fund's Board of Directors from time to time with
respect to the extent and continuation of this practice. It is
understood that the services provided by such brokers or futures
commission merchants may be useful to the Subadviser in connection
with the Subadviser's services to other clients.
On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale
of a security or futures contract to be in the best interest of the
Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser, to
the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but
shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or futures
contracts to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most
favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient
execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or futures
contracts so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred
2
in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the
Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its
fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients.
(iv) The Subadviser shall maintain all books and records with
respect to the Fund's portfolio transactions required by
subparagraphs (b)(5), (6), (7), (9), (10) and (11) and paragraph (f)
of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and shall render to the Fund's Board
of Directors such periodic and special reports as the Board may
reasonably request.
(v) The Subadviser shall provide the Fund's Custodian on each
business day with information relating to all transactions concerning
the Fund's assets and shall provide the Manager with such information
upon request of the Manager.
(vi) The investment management services provided by the Subadviser
hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Subadviser shall be
free to render similar services to others.
(b) The Subadviser shall authorize and permit any of its directors,
officers and employees who may be elected as directors or officers of the
Fund to serve in the capacities in which they are elected. Services to be
furnished by the Subadviser under this Agreement may be furnished through
the medium of any of such directors, officers or employees.
(c) The Subadviser shall keep the Fund's books and records required to be
maintained by the Subadviser pursuant to paragraph 1(a) hereof and shall
timely furnish to the Manager all information relating to the Subadviser's
services hereunder needed by the Manager to keep the other books and
records of the Fund required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act. The
Subadviser agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund are the
property of the Fund and the Subadviser will surrender promptly to the
Fund any of such records upon the Fund's request, provided however that
the Subadviser may retain a copy of such records. The Subadviser further
agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 of the
Commission under the 1940 Act any such records as are required to be
maintained by it pursuant to paragraph 1(a) hereof.
2. The Manager shall continue to have responsibility for all services to
be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and shall
oversee and review the Subadviser's performance of its duties under this
Agreement.
3
3. The Manager shall reimburse the Subadviser for reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Subadviser determined in a manner acceptable to
the Manager in furnishing the services described in paragraph 1 hereof.
4. The Subadviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for
any loss suffered by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the Subadviser's
part in the performance of its duties or from its reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
5. This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two
years from the date hereof only so long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the
requirements of the 1940 Act; provided, however, that this Agreement may
be terminated by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty,
by the Board of Directors of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Fund, or
by the Manager or the Subadviser at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice
to the other party. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the
event of its assignment (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) or upon the
termination of the Management Agreement.
6. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any of
the Subadviser's directors, officers, or employees who may also be a
director, officer or employee of the Fund to engage in any other business
or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or
other aspects of any business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar
nature, nor limit or restrict the Subadviser's right to engage in any
other business or to render services of any kind to any other corporation,
firm, individual or association.
7. During the term of this Agreement, the Manager agrees to furnish the
Subadviser at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements,
reports to stockholders, sales literature or other material prepared for
distribution to stockholders of the Fund or the public, which refer to the
Subadviser in any way, prior to use thereof and not to use material if the
Subadviser reasonably objects in writing five business days (or such other
time as may be mutually agreed) after receipt thereof. Sales literature
may be furnished to the Subadviser hereunder by first-class or overnight
mail, facsimile transmission equipment or hand delivery.

8. This Agreement may be amended by mutual consent, but the consent of
the Fund must be obtained in conformity with the requirements of the 1940
Act.
9. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
