C000033337 Investment Objective and Strategy
Natural Resources Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Prudential Series Fund.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
In pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies that are associated with natural resources, including those companies that are principally engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, extraction, distribution or sale of materials, energy or goods related to the Agriculture, Energy, Materials or Commodity-Related Industrials sectors. The Portfolio considers (i) the Agriculture sector to include products such as grain, vegetable oils, livestock and agricultural-type products such as coffee; (ii) the Energy sector to include products such as coal, natural gas, oil, alternative energy and electricity and energy storage; or companies which are substantially engaged in the sectors described above; (iii) the Materials sector to include products such as chemicals & fertilizers, constructions materials, industrial metal, precious metal, steel, minerals and paper products; and (iv) the Commodity-Related Industrials sector to include industrial firms that manufacture tools, equipment and goods used in the development and production of commodities or that maintain infrastructure used in their transportation.
Under normal conditions, the Portfolios portfolio manager seeks to allocate investments across a range of investment opportunities and businesses in the Agriculture, Energy, Materials and Commodity-Related Industrials sectors. The relative weightings of these sectors in the Portfolio may vary from time to time. The Portfolio invests most of its assets in US and non-US common stocks. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio allocates its investments among securities of issuers located in at least eight different countries (which may include the US). The Portfolio may also invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs) and up to 10% of its net assets in securities issued by other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds. The Portfolios portfolio manager evaluates the relative attractiveness of individual commodity cycles, including supply-demand fundamentals, pricing outlook and the impact on US and non-US macroeconomic indicators like inflation.
In addition, the portfolio manager may consider forecasts of economic growth, inflation and interest rates to help identify industry sectors, regions and individual countries (including emerging market countries) that the portfolio manager believes is likely to offer the best investment opportunities. The portfolio manager seeks to evaluate the degree to which companies earnings are linked to commodity price changes, as well as companies fundamental value and prospects for growth. In addition to common stocks and other equity securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants), the Portfolio may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. The Portfolio may write covered call options on a portion of the stocks held in its portfolio, a strategy that may generate gains from option premiums while potentially limiting the volatility of portfolio returns.
The Portfolio may invest in forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers.
