                                     PART I

Item 1. Business

General

   Prudential Securities Strategic Trust, formerly known as Willowbridge
Strategic Trust, (the 'Registrant') was organized under the Delaware Statutory
Trust Act on October 16, 1995 and commenced trading operations on May 1, 1996.
The Registrant will terminate on December 31, 2015 unless terminated sooner as
provided in the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust
Agreement (the 'Trust Agreement'). The Registrant was formed to engage in the
speculative trading of commodity futures, forward and options contracts. The
trustee of the Registrant is Wilmington Trust Company.

   On May 1, 1996, the Registrant completed its initial offering with gross
proceeds of $12,686,200 from the sale of 125,352 limited interests and 1,510
general interests (collectively, the 'Interests'). General interests were sold
exclusively to the managing owner. Additional Interests were offered monthly at
the then current net asset value per Interest until the continuous offering
period expired on January 31, 1998. Additional contributions raised during the
continuous offering period resulted in additional proceeds to the Registrant of
$51,242,700.

   The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of commodity futures,
forward and options trading; therefore, presentation of industry segment
information is not applicable.

The Trading Managers

   At inception of the Registrant's trading activities, Willowbridge Associates
Inc. ('Willowbridge') made all the Registrant's commodity trading decisions.
During July 1998, Willowbridge ceased trading approximately 50% of the
Registrant's assets and, during August 1998, these assets were reallocated to
Bridgewater Associates, Inc. ('Bridgewater'). As of February 15, 2000,
Willowbridge ceased to serve as a trading manager to the Registrant when the
remaining assets allocated to Willowbridge, after adjusting for redemptions,
declined by greater than 33 1/3% from their balance at the beginning of the
year. On July 5, 2000, these assets were reallocated to Gamma Capital
Management, LLC ('Gamma'). As a result of the changes in the Registrant's
independent commodity trading managers as discussed above, during a majority of
July and August 1998, as well as from February 16, 2000 through July 4, 2000, a
portion of the Registrant's assets were not allocated to commodities trading
and, as a result, were not subject to management fees and commissions. The
monthly management fees paid on traded assets and the quarterly incentive fees
paid on 'New High Net Trading Profits' (as defined in each advisory agreement
among the Registrant, managing owner and each trading manager) to each trading
manager are as follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
                                       Monthly                               Quarterly
        Trading                      Management                              Incentive
        Manager                          Fee                                    Fee
-----------------------   ---------------------------------   ---------------------------------------
<S>                       <C>                                 <C>
Willowbridge              3% annually of traded assets        20% of New High Net Trading Profits
Bridgewater               .9756% annually of traded assets    20% of New High Net Trading Profits
Gamma                     2% annually of traded assets        20% of New High Net Trading Profits
</Table>

   Additionally, Gamma must recoup the cumulative trading losses associated with
the assets that were allocated to it from Willowbridge before it is paid an
incentive fee. The advisory agreements may be terminated for a variety of
reasons, including at the discretion of the managing owner.

   As of January 31, 2003 Gamma was terminated as a trading manager to the
Trust. On February 11, 2003, the managing owner and the Registrant entered into
an advisory agreement with Graham Capital Management, LP ('Graham') to manage a
portion of the Registrant's assets. The advisory agreement may be terminated for
a variety of reasons, including at the discretion of the managing owner.

Managing Owner and its Affiliates

   Prudential Securities Futures Management Inc. (the 'Managing Owner') is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), which, in
turn, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc.
('Prudential'). PSI was the principal underwriter and selling agent for the
Registrant's Interests and is its commodity broker ('Commodity Broker'). In
February 2003, Prudential and Wachovia Corp. ('Wachovia') announced an agreement
to combine each company's respective retail securities, brokerage and clearing
operations within a new firm, which will be headquartered in Richmond, Virginia.
Under the agreement, Prudential will have a 38% ownership interest in the new
firm and Wachovia will own 62%. The transaction, which includes the securities
brokerage, securities clearing, and debt capital markets operations of PSI, but
does not include the equity sales, trading and research operations or commodity
brokerage and derivative operations of PSI, is anticipated to close in the third
quarter of 2003. The Managing Owner, as well as the Commodity Broker, will
continue to be indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential.

   The Managing Owner is required to maintain at least a 1% interest in the
Registrant so long as it is acting as the Managing Owner.

Competition

   The Managing Owner and its affiliates have formed, and may continue to form,
various entities to engage in the speculative trading of futures, forward and
options contracts which have certain of the same investment policies as the
Registrant.

   The Registrant was an open-end fund which solicited the sale of additional
Interests on a monthly basis until the continuous offering period expired. As
such, the Registrant no longer competes with other entities to attract new
participants. However, to the extent that the trading managers recommend similar
or identical trades to the Registrant and other accounts which they manage, the
Registrant may compete with those accounts, as well as other market
participants, for the execution of the same or similar trades.

Employees

   The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for
the Registrant are performed by the Managing Owner and its affiliates pursuant
to the Trust Agreement, as further discussed in Notes A, C and D to the
Registrant's financial statements included in its annual report to limited
owners for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the 'Registrant's 2002 Annual
Report'), which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

Item 2. Properties

   The Registrant does not own or lease any property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

   There are no material legal proceedings pending by or against the Registrant
or the Managing Owner.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Interest Holders

   None

                                    PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Interests and Related Interest Holder
        Matters

   Information with respect to the offering of Interests is incorporated by
reference to Note A to the Registrant's 2002 Annual Report, which is filed as an
exhibit hereto.

   A significant secondary market for the Interests has not developed, and it is
not expected that one will develop in the future. There are also certain
restrictions set forth in the Trust Agreement limiting the ability of an
Interest holder to transfer Interests. However, redemptions are permitted
monthly on at least ten days prior written notice at the then current net asset
value per Interest. Prior to February 1999, redemptions were subject to
redemption charges of 4% and 3%, respectively, of the net asset value at which
they were

                                       4

<Page>

redeemed if effected on or prior to the end of the first and second successive
six-month periods after their effective date of purchase. These redemption
charges were paid to the Managing Owner. Consequently, holders of Interests may
not be able to liquidate their investments in the event of an emergency or for
any other reason.

   There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement. No distributions have been made since inception and no distributions
are anticipated in the future.

   As of March 21, 2003, there were 691 holders of record owning 92,071.496
Interests, which includes 921 general interests.

   The following table presents selected financial data of the Registrant. This

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant

   There are no directors or executive officers of the Registrant. The
Registrant is managed by the Managing Owner.

   The Managing Owner's directors and executive officers and any person holding
more than 10% of the Registrant's Interests ('Ten Percent Owners') are required
to report their initial ownership of such Interests and any subsequent changes
in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on Forms
3, 4 or 5. Such executive officers, directors and Ten Percent Owners are
required by SEC regulations to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Forms
3, 4 or 5 they file. All of these filing requirements were satisfied on a timely
basis. In making these disclosures, the Registrant has relied solely on written
representations of the Managing Owner's directors and executive officers and Ten
Percent Owners or copies of the reports that they have filed with the SEC during
and with respect to its most recent fiscal year.

   The directors and executive officers of the Managing Owner and their
positions with respect to the Registrant are as follows:

Item 11. Executive Compensation

   The Registrant does not pay or accrue any fees, salaries or any other form of
compensation to directors and officers of the Managing Owner for their services.
Certain directors and officers of the Managing Owner receive compensation from
affiliates of the Managing Owner, not from the Registrant, for services
performed for various affiliated entities, which may include services performed
for the Registrant; however, the Managing Owner believes that any compensation
attributable to services performed for the Registrant is immaterial. (See also
Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, for information
regarding compensation to the Managing Owner.)

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

   As of March 21, 2003, no director or executive officer of the Managing Owner

   Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Managing Owner
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of

Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operations of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures.
Based upon that evaluation, the Managing Owner's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Registrant's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

I, Eleanor L. Thomas, certify that:

   1.  I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Prudential Securities
       Strategic Trust (the 'Trust');

   2.  Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue
       statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
       to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
       such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
       covered by this annual report;

       establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
       defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Trust and we
       have:

        a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
            that material information relating to the Trust, including
            its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
            within those entities, particularly during the period in
            which this annual report is being prepared;

        b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust's disclosure

            internal controls which could adversely affect the Trust's
            ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
            data and have identified for the Trust's auditors any
            material weaknesses in internal controls; and

        b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
            or other employees who have a significant role in the Trust's

I, Steven Weinreb, certify that:

   1.  I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Prudential Securities
       Strategic Trust (the 'Trust');

   2.  Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue
       statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
       to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
       such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
       covered by this annual report;

   3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
       information included in this annual report, fairly present in all
       material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
       flows of the Trust as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual
       report;

   4.  The Trust's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
       establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
       defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Trust and we
       have:

        a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
            that material information relating to the Trust, including
            its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
            within those entities, particularly during the period in
            which this annual report is being prepared;

        b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust's disclosure
            controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to
            the filing date of this annual report (the 'Evaluation
            Date'); and

        c)  presented in this annual report our conclusions about the
            effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
            on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

   5.  The Trust's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
       most recent evaluation, to the Trust's auditors and the board of
       directors of the managing owner of the Trust:

        a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
            internal controls which could adversely affect the Trust's
            ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
            data and have identified for the Trust's auditors any
            material weaknesses in internal controls; and

        b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
            or other employees who have a significant role in the Trust's
            internal controls; and

   6.  The Trust's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this annual
       report whether or not there were significant changes in internal controls
       or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
       subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any
       corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
       weaknesses.
