C000085355 Investment Objective and Strategy
JNL/American Funds New World Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by JNL Series Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund (Feeder Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation through exclusive investment in the shares of the American Funds Insurance Series - New World Fund (Master Fund).
Principal investment strategy
The Fund operates as a feeder fund and seeks to achieve its goal by investing all of its assets in Class 1 shares of the Master Fund. The Master Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies with significant exposure to developing countries. The securities markets of these countries may be referred to as emerging markets or frontier markets. For purposes of this investment strategy, the Master Fund may invest in equity securities of any company, regardless of where it is domiciled (including developed countries), if the Master Funds investment adviser determines that a significant portion of the companys assets or revenues (generally 20% or more) is attributable to developing countries. Under normal market conditions, the Master Fund will invest at least 35% of its assets in equity and debt securities of issuers domiciled in qualified developing countries.
The securities markets of these countries may be referred to as emerging markets or frontier markets. For purposes of this investment strategy, a qualified developing country will generally resemble the United States and European Union countries more closely relative to non-qualified developing countries. In determining whether a country is a developed country or a developing country, the Master Funds investment adviser will consider such factors as the countrys per capita gross domestic product; the percentage of the countrys economy that is industrialized; market capital as a percentage of gross domestic product; the overall regulatory environment; the presence of government regulation limiting or banning foreign ownership; and restrictions on repatriation of initial capital, dividends, interest and/or capital gains and may also consider whether the country is designated as a developed market by MSCI Inc.
When assessed along these criteria, a developed country will generally resemble the United States and European Union countries more closely relative to developing countries. The investment adviser to the Master Fund maintains a list of qualified developing countries and securities in which the Master Fund may invest. Please refer to the statutory prospectus for a list of qualified developing countries. The Master Fund may also invest in debt securities of issuers, including issuers of lower-rated bonds (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the Master Funds investment adviser or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the Master Funds investment adviser), with exposure to these countries. Bonds rated Ba1 or BB+ or below are sometimes referred to as junk bonds.
In addition, the Master Fund may invest in nonconvertible debt securities of issuers, including issuers of lower rated bonds and government bonds, that are primarily based in qualified countries or that have a significant portion of their assets or revenues attributable to developing countries. The Master Fund uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the funds assets. Under this approach, the portfolio of the fund is divided into segments managed by individual managers. The Master Fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the Master Funds portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the Master Funds investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively valued companies that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term investment opportunities.
Securities may be sold when the investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities.
