C000043353 Investment Objective and Strategy
LVIP Baron Growth Opportunities 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 Baron Growth Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is to seek capital appreciation through long-term investments in securities of small and mid-sized companies with undervalued assets or favorable growth prospects.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests for the long term primarily in common stocks of small and mid-sized growth companies selected for their capital appreciation potential. Small-cap companies are defined for this purpose as companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase in the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index. The market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index was $144 million to $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2018. Mid-cap companies are defined for this purpose as companies with market capitalization at the time of purchase in the range of companies in the Russell 2500 Index. The market capitalization range of the Russell 2500 Index was $144 million to $10.6 billion as of March 31, 2018. The Fund purchases stocks in businesses when the sub-adviser believes there is potential for the stock to increase significantly in value over the long term.
Because of the long term approach, the Fund could have a significant percentage of its assets invested in securities that have appreciated beyond their original market cap ranges. The Fund may invest in larger companies if the sub-adviser perceives an attractive opportunity in a larger company. In making investment decisions, the sub-adviser seeks to invest in businesses it believes have significant opportunities for growth; sustainable competitive advantages; exceptional management; and an attractive valuation. Of course, there is no guarantee the Fund will be successful at achieving its investment goals.
