Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of foreign companies, including emerging markets equity securities. The Portfolio may invest a large percentage of its assets in issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. The Sub-Adviser normally allocates the Portfolios investments across different industries and sectors, but the Sub-Adviser may invest a significant percentage of the Portfolios assets in issuers in a single or small number of industries or sectors. The Sub-Adviser focuses on investing the Portfolios assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (i.e. growth companies). Growth companies tend to have stock prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures.
The Portfolio may invest in companies of any size. The Portfolio intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other types of equity securities. These may include depositary receipts, preferred stocks and warrants. The Portfolio may engage in active and frequent trading in pursuing its principal investment strategies. The Sub-Adviser uses a bottom-up approach to buying and selling investments for the Portfolio. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuers earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. Quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuers valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors may also be considered.
The Sub-Adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, to limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
