C000007710 Investment Objective and Strategy
LVIP Delaware Special Opportunities Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the LVIP Delaware Special Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is to maximize long-term capital appreciation (as measured by the change in the value of Fund shares over a period of three years or longer).
Principal investment strategy
The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks primarily of medium-sized U.S. companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Value Index. The market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap Value Index was $2.4 billion to $40.0 billion as of March 31, 2018. The Fund may also invest in some small-cap companies. The Funds management style focuses on seeking medium-sized companies whose stock prices appear low relative to their underlying value or future potential. Among other factors, the sub-adviser considers the financial strength of a company, its management style, the prospects for its industry, and any anticipated changes within the company that might suggest a more favorable outlook going forward.
Additionally, the sub-adviser focuses on free cash flow and a company's sustainability to buy back its shares, lower its debt and/or increase or initiate dividends. The Fund uses a blend of quantitative analysis and fundamental research in its effort to find the most attractive stocks in each industry. This blended assessment includes a review of a number of factors, including low price-to-earnings ratio, low price-to-cash flow, and improving earnings estimates. Fund investments are replaced if a possible new investment appears significantly more attractive under the Funds investment criteria.
