C000004974 Investment Objective and Strategy
PF Emerging Markets Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Pacific Funds Series Trust.
Investment objective
This Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities (including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)) of companies whose principal activities are conducted in countries that are generally regarded as emerging market countries. This also includes companies that the sub-adviser determines to be economically tied to an emerging market country. Emerging market countries are typically less developed economically than industrialized countries and may offer high growth potential as well as considerable investment risk. The sub-adviser may consider countries to be emerging market countries if they are included in any one of the Morgan Stanley Capital Index emerging markets indices, classified as a developing or emerging market, or classified under a similar or corresponding classification by organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, or have economies, industries and stock markets with similar characteristics.
Under normal market conditions, the sub-adviser expects to invest in securities of issuers in at least three emerging market countries. The Fund principally invests in common stock and other equity securities. The Fund may invest in different capitalization ranges in any emerging market country. The Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in securities of issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. However, under normal market conditions, the Fund generally expects to invest in a number of different non-U.S. countries. In selecting securities, the sub-adviser looks primarily for foreign companies in emerging markets with high growth potential. The sub-adviser uses fundamental analysis of a companys financial statements, management structure, operations, product development and competitive position in its industry, and considers the special factors and risks of the country in which the issuer operates.
The sub-adviser also looks for newer or established businesses that are entering into a growth cycle, have the potential for accelerating earnings growth or cash flow, and possess reasonable valuations. In applying these and other selection criteria, the sub-adviser considers the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of various business sectors, and looks for companies that may benefit from certain global trends. The sub-adviser monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security.
