C000054136 Investment Objective and Strategy

JNL/S&P Competitive Advantage Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by JNL Series Trust.

Investment objective

The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in the stock of anywhere from 30 to 90 distinct companies (generally ranging from 35 to 50 distinct companies) included in the S&P 500 Index that are believed to have superior profitability, as measured by return on invested capital, and trade at relatively attractive valuations. Standard & Poors Investment Advisory Services LLC (SPIAS) excludes stocks it views as lower quality using the S&P Capital IQ Quality Ranks. SPIAS will choose only one share class of a company to be represented in the Fund if the stock selection model selects multiple share classes of the same company. The Fund is comprised of three distinct sub-portfolios, each of which selects 30 company names and rebalances on a separate date. The 30 names included in a sub-portfolio could overlap with some or all of the names in any of the other sub-portfolios.

The sub-portfolios separately are selected and rebalance on or about the first business day of March, September or December of each year. As of March 2017, the Fund has fully transitioned to the three sub-portfolio strategy. Additionally, on or about the first business day of December of each year starting in 2017 the Fund rebalances the size of the three separate sub-portfolios to ensure equal weighting of the sub-portfolios. SPIAS and BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (collectively, Sub-Advisers) generally use a buy and hold strategy, executing trades only on or around each stock selection date, when cash flow activity occurs in the Fund and for dividend reinvestment purposes. S&P Capital IQ Quality Ranks Growth and stability of earnings and dividends are deemed key elements in establishing earnings and dividend rankings for common stocks.

This process also takes into consideration certain adjustments and modifications deemed desirable in establishing such rankings. The final score for each stock is measured against a scoring matrix determined by an internal analysis of the scores of a large and representative sample of stocks. The range of scores in the array of this sample has been aligned with the following ladder of rankings: A+ Highest B- Lower A High C Lowest A- Above Average D In Reorganization B+ Average NR Not Ranked B Below Average Certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and other U.S. Federal Securities Laws may limit the ability of the Fund to invest in certain securities in excess of certain percentage limitations. The 1940 Act and other Federal Securities Laws may also limit or prohibit the Funds from making certain investments.

The Fund may invest in a combination of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to assist with fund rebalances and to meet redemption or purchase requests. The Fund may invest in financial futures, a type of derivative, to obtain market exposure consistent with the Funds investment objective and strategies, to provide liquidity for cash flows, to hedge dividend accruals or for other purposes that facilitate meeting the Funds objective. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, as defined in the 1940 Act and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds.
