C000104629 Investment Objective and Strategy
MainStay VP Fidelity Institutional AMSM Utilities Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Mainstay Vp Funds Trust.
Investment objective
The Portfolio seeks total return.
Principal investment strategy
"The Portfolio, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of issuers in the utilities group of industries and companies deriving a majority of their revenues from their utility operations. These companies may include, for example, companies that produce electricity, including nuclear and non-nuclear facilities; companies that distribute and transmit natural and manufactured gas; water treatment and other utility companies; and other companies that operate as independent power producers, gas and power marketing and trading specialists and/or integrated energy merchants. The Portfolio will invest at least 25% of its total assets (concentrate its investments) in securities issued by companies in the utilities group of industries.
In addition to concentrating on particular industries, the Portfolio may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers than a diversified fund. FIAM LLC, the Portfolios Subadvisor, does not place any emphasis on income when selecting securities, except when it believes that income may have a favorable effect on a securitys market value. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio primarily invests in equity securities. The Portfolio may invest in domestic and foreign securities without limitation. An issuer of a security is considered to be a U.S. or foreign issuer based on the issuer's ""country of risk"" (or similar designation) as determined by a third-party such as Bloomberg.
The Subadvisor may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange-traded funds, to increase or decrease a portfolios exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. Investment Process: In buying and selling securities for the Portfolio, the Subadvisor relies on fundamental analysis, which involves a bottom-up assessment, including macro and quantitative support, of a companys potential for success in light of factors including its financial condition, earnings outlook, strategy, management, industry position, and economic and market conditions."
