C000104161 Investment Objective and Strategy
1290 VT Equity Income Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks a combination of growth and income to achieve an above-average and consistent total return.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Portfolio intends to invest primarily in dividend-paying common stocks of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies. Large- and mid-capitalization companies mean those companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 1000 Value Index (market capitalization range of approximately $0.8 billion - $375.4 billion as of December 31, 2017). The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other equity securities that the Sub-Adviser believes provide opportunities for capital growth and income. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of issuers located in developed and developing economies.
The Sub-Adviser generally considers stocks for the Portfolio that not only currently pay a dividend, but also have a consistent history of paying cash dividends. The Sub-Adviser also generally seeks stocks that have long established histories of dividend increases in an effort to ensure that the growth of the dividend stream of the Portfolios holdings will be greater than that of the market as a whole. The Sub-Adviser constructs a portfolio of individual stocks, selected on a bottom-up basis, using fundamental analysis. The Sub-Adviser seeks to identify companies that are undervalued and temporarily out-of-favor for reasons it can identify and understand. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
