C000053817 Investment Objective and Strategy
AST J.P. Morgan Global Thematic 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 seek capital appreciation consistent with its specified level of risk tolerance.
Principal investment strategy
The Portfolio utilizes a variety of diversifying asset classes and investment styles. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will maintain a strategic allocation of approximately 65% of net assets in global equity securities and approximately 35% of net assets in fixed income securities. Depending on market conditions, the global equity exposure may range between 55-75% of net assets and fixed income allocation may range between 25-45% of net assets. The subadviser may utilize derivatives to manage the duration of the Portfolio; these positions are not considered part of the Portfolio's fixed income allocation. The Portfolio may invest in a wide range of asset classes, including US and non-US fixed income, high yield bonds, convertible bonds, emerging markets bonds, US and non-US equities, emerging markets equities, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) domiciled in and outside of the US.
The allocation to these asset classes will vary depending on the tactical views of the Portfolios subadviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc (J.P. Morgan). The Portfolios allocation to global equity, fixed income, and currency markets may be obtained through (i) the purchase of physical securities (e.g., common stocks or bonds); (ii) the use of derivative instruments including but not limited to options and futures securities and indices, swaps (including credit derivatives), forwards (deliverable and non-deliverable), and other futures contracts and options to provide liquid exposure to applicable equity and fixed income benchmarks (iii) the purchase of underlying exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including ETFs sponsored by J.P. Morgan. In implementing its asset allocation strategy, the Portfolio allocates assets to various underlying investment sleeves or implementation vehicles.
While the Portfolio is expected to remain within the strategic allocation ranges described above, the Portfolio may temporarily deviate from the strategic allocation above to manage the Portfolio's liquidity to meet redemptions or other aspects of the Portfolio's investment process. The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, its assets in the AST J.P. Morgan Fixed Income Central Portfolio (the J.P. Morgan Central Portfolio). The J.P. Morgan Central Portfolio is a special type of investment vehicle for sole use by certain asset allocation portfolios, including the Portfolio. The J.P. Morgan Central Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in intermediate and long-term debt obligations and high-quality money market instruments.
Rather than buy intermediate and long-term debt obligations and high-quality money market instruments directly, the Portfolio may invest in the J.P. Morgan Central Portfolio.
