C000053816 Investment Objective and Strategy
AST RCM World Trends Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Advanced Series Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to obtain the highest potential total return consistent with its specified level of risk tolerance.
Principal investment strategy
The Portfolio is allocated among various investment strategies to gain exposure to different segments of the global equity and fixed income markets. Under normal circumstances, approximately 60% of the Portfolio’s net assets are invested to provide exposure to equity securities and approximately 40% of its net assets are invested to provide exposure to fixed income securities. Depending on market conditions, such equity exposure may range between 50-70% of the Portfolio’s net assets and such fixed income exposure may range between 30-50% of its net assets. Such exposures may be obtained through: (i) the purchase of “physical” securities (e.g., common stocks, bonds, etc.); (ii) the use of derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, currency forwards, TBAs, etc.); and (iii) the purchase of underlying exchange-traded funds.
The Portfolio’s subadviser, Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC, allocates assets among several investment strategies. The Portfolio takes the innovative approach of blending these strategies according to the asset allocation structure designed by the Portfolio’s subadviser. Depending on market conditions and the allocation of assets, the Portfolio may at times underperform as compared to more opportunistic peer funds given the subadviser’s more diversified approach and the Portfolio’s more conservative risk profile.
