C000099476 Investment Objective and Strategy
Transamerica PineBridge Inflation Opportunities VP describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Transamerica Series Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks maximum real return, consistent with appreciation of capital.
Principal investment strategy
The portfolios sub-adviser, PineBridge Investments LLC (the sub-adviser), seeks to achieve the portfolios investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the portfolios net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in inflation-indexed fixed-income securities issued by domestic and foreign governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations. Inflation-indexed fixed-income securities are structured to provide protection against the negative effects of inflation. The value of an inflation-indexed fixed-income securitys principal or the interest income paid on the fixed-income security is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure, usually the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) with respect to domestic issuers.
The portfolio may also invest in debt securities that are not inflation-indexed, including but not limited to securities issued or guaranteed by national governments, their agencies, instrumentalities, and political sub-divisions, securities of supranational organizations such as bonds, corporate debt securities, adjustable rate bonds, floating rate bonds, principal only bonds, Eurobonds, Eurodollar bonds and Yankee dollar instruments, zero coupon bonds, convertible notes, commercial paper, and commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The portfolio may invest in money market instruments (including repurchase agreements) with remaining maturities of one year or less, as well as cash and cash equivalents. The portfolio may also invest in hybrid instruments having both debt and equity characteristics.
The portfolio may invest in securities of any maturity and does not have a target average duration. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to changes in interest rates. The longer a securitys duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The portfolio normally invests primarily in investment grade securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or equivalently by Standard & Poors Corporation or Fitch Inc., or, if unrated, determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality, but may also invest in high yield securities (often referred to as junk bonds) rated below investment grade. The portfolio may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies, and may invest beyond this limit in U.S.
dollar denominated securities of foreign and emerging market issuers. The portfolio may invest no more than 10% of its total assets in high yield securities and emerging markets securities combined. The sub-adviser uses both top-down and bottom-up analysis to determine security and duration positions for the portfolio. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches rely upon the same fundamental, valuation and technical framework and analysis of factors the sub-adviser believes affect pricing, including interest rates, inflation rates and currency exposures. These factors are jointly determined and are interdependent. Security sales decisions are driven by the same criteria as purchase decisions. The portfolio may, but is not required to, engage in certain investment strategies involving derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps, including, but not limited to, interest rate or foreign currency transactions, total return and credit default swaps.
The sub-adviser regularly uses currency swaps, futures and/or forwards to hedge non-U.S. dollar currency exposure. These investment strategies may be employed to either mitigate risk or generate income. The portfolio may invest in privately issued securities, including those that are normally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The portfolios investments in securities issued by foreign governments may include securities issued by governments of emerging market countries. The sub-adviser considers emerging market countries as countries that major international financial institutions and financial organizations, such as the World Bank and Bloomberg, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations.
