Principal investment strategy
Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison or Subadviser), subadviser to the Portfolio, will normally invest at least 65% of the Portfolios assets in equity and equity-related securities of U.S. companies that exceed $1 billion in market capitalization and that Jennison believes have strong capital appreciation potential. These companies are generally considered to be in the medium-to-large capitalization range. The Portfolio may invest in common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible stocks, and equity interests in partnerships, joint ventures and other noncorporate entities. The Portfolio may also invest in rights that can be exercised for equity securities. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in money market instruments and U.S. Government securities (e.g., obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities).
The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. The 20% limitation on foreign securities does not apply to American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), American Depositary Shares or similar receipts and shares traded in U.S. markets. The Portfolio may have exposure to foreign currencies through its investment in foreign securities. The Portfolio may, from time to time, emphasize one or more sectors. Stock Selection Jennison follows a highly disciplined investment selection and management process to identify companies that show superior absolute and relative earnings growth and also are attractively valued. Earnings predictability and confidence in earnings forecasts are important parts of the selection process. The Portfolio invests in medium-to-large companies experiencing some or all of the following: above-average revenue and earnings per share growth, strong market position, improving profitability and distinctive attributes such as unique marketing ability, strong research and development, productive new product flow, and financial strength.
Such companies generally trade at high prices relative to their current earnings. The Portfolio will consider selling or reducing a stock position when, in the opinion of Jennison, the stock has experienced a fundamental disappointment in earnings; the stock has reached an intermediate-term price objective and its outlook no longer seems sufficiently promising; a relatively more attractive stock emerges; or the stock has experienced adverse price movement.
