C000007721 Investment Objective and Strategy
LVIP Delaware Bond 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 Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is maximum current income (yield) consistent with a prudent investment strategy.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund pursues its objective by investing in a diverse group of domestic fixed-income securities (debt obligations). The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in bond securities. The Fund invests in significant amounts of debt obligations with medium term maturities (5-15 years) and some debt obligations with short term maturities (0-5 years) and long term maturities (over 15 years). The Fund will invest primarily in a combination of: investment-grade corporate bonds; obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities; and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are issued by government agencies and other non-government agency issuers. Mortgage-backed securities include obligations backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages and direct interests in an underlying pool of mortgages.
Mortgage-backed securities also include collateralized mortgage obligations. The mortgages involved could be those on commercial or residential real estate properties. To pursue its investment strategy, the Fund may also invest to a lesser degree in: U.S. corporate bonds rated lower than medium-grade (junk bonds); Foreign securities, including debt of foreign corporations and debt obligations of, or guaranteed by, foreign governments or any of their instrumentalities or political subdivisions; Emerging market securities; and Derivatives, such as futures and credit default swaps, to manage risk exposure more efficiently than may be possible trading only physical securities. Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, it does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S.
dollars on a daily basis. The Fund may, however, purchase or sell foreign currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of Fund transactions and to minimize currency value fluctuations. At times when adverse conditions are anticipated, the sub-adviser may want to protect gains on securities without actually selling them. The sub-adviser might use options or futures to neutralize the effect of any price declines, without selling a bond or bonds or a swap agreement or agreements, or as a hedge against changes in interest rates. The sub-adviser may also sell an option contract (often referred to as writing an option) to earn additional income for the Fund. The Fund may not engage in such transactions to the extent that obligations resulting from these activities exceed 25% of its assets.
Use of these strategies can increase operating costs of the Fund and can lead to loss of principal. As part of its risk management, the Fund's portfolio of securities has an overall minimum weighted average credit rating of AA-/Aa3 as defined by Standard & Poor's Corp. and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively. This overall minimum weighted credit rating ensures that the portfolio will remain investment grade even though the Fund may invest in individual securities that present a higher level of risk. In pursuing its objective, the Fund may engage in active trading.
