C000055678 Investment Objective and Strategy
Columbia Variable Portfolio - High Yield Bond Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II.
Investment objective
Columbia Variable Portfolio High Yield Bond Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide shareholders with high current income as its primary objective and,
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 high-yield debt instruments (commonly referred to as junk bonds or securities). These high yield debt instruments include corporate debt securities as well as floating rate loans rated below investment grade by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in debt instruments of foreign issuers. Corporate debt instruments in which the Fund invests are typically unsecured, with a fixed-rate of interest, and are usually issued by companies or similar entities to provide financing for their operations, or other activities. The Fund may invest in debt instruments of any maturity and does not seek to maintain a particular dollar-weighted average maturity.
Because the Fund emphasizes high-yield investments, more emphasis is put on credit risk by the portfolio managers in selecting investments than either maturity or duration. The Fund may invest in privately placed and other securities or instruments that are purchased and sold pursuant to Rule 144A or other exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain regulatory restrictions.
