C000034145 Investment Objective and Strategy
Columbia Variable Portfolio - Small Cap Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust.
Investment objective
Columbia Variable Portfolio Small Cap Value Discovery Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets ( plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies that have market capitalizations in the range of the companies in the Russell 2000 Value Index (the Capitalization Index) , which ranged between $ 18.8 million and $ 19.4 billion as of March 31, 2026 , that the Funds investment manager believes are undervalued and have the potential for long-term growth. The market capitalization range and composition of companies in the Capitalization Index are subject to change. As such, the size of the companies in which the Fund invests may change. The Fund may continue to hold a security even if the companys market capitalization is no longer within the range of the Capitalization Index.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund also invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of value companies. The Fund considers value companies to be those companies that are either constituents of an index constructed by a third party to identify companies with various characteristics of value companies, or that have a higher book-to-price (B/P) ratio than the median ranked stock within the companys GICS sector, have a higher EBITDA/EV (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization-to-enterprise value) or have a lower price-to-earnings ratio than the median ranked stock within the companys GICS sector. The third-party broad-based index currently used to identify value companies is the Russell 3000 Value Index, although the Fund may change the referenced index without prior notice.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund also may invest in real estate investment trusts. The Fund may at times emphasize one or more sectors in selecting its investments, including the financials sector.
