C000111956 Investment Objective and Strategy
Equitable Conservative Growth MF/ETF Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks to achieve total return from long-term capital appreciation and income.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest in a diversified range of securities and other financial instruments, including derivatives, which provide investment exposure to equity and fixed income investments. The Portfolio will maintain a strategic, or typical, allocation of approximately 60% of its net assets to equity securities (or financial instruments that provide investment exposure to such securities) and approximately 40% of its net assets to fixed income securities (or financial instruments that provide investment exposure to such securities). The Portfolio employs a dynamic asset allocation strategy by periodically shifting allocations among asset classes and market sectors based on market opportunities. The Portfolio will tactically shift portfolio weightings among, and within, each asset class both to take advantage of changing market opportunities for capital appreciation and in response to changing market risk conditions.
The Portfolios asset allocation will be based on an assessment of short- and long-term macroeconomic themes and an analysis of sector fundamentals and relative valuation. The Portfolios equity allocation may range from 40% to 70% of the Funds net assets, and the Portfolios fixed income allocation may range from 30% to 60% of the Funds net assets. The Portfolio may gain or adjust exposure to each asset class through investments in individual securities or through other instruments, including derivatives. The Portfolio may invest in companies of any size and may invest without limit in foreign securities, including emerging market securities. Equity Allocation. The Portfolios equity allocation will consist of an actively-managed growth strategy (Active Allocated Portion) and a value strategy that seeks to track the performance of a particular index (Index Allocated Portion).
Within the Portfolios equity allocation, the Portfolio may shift its allocation to the Active Allocated Portion and the Index Allocation Portion within a range of approximately 33% to 67% of the Funds net assets in the equity allocation. The Portfolios equity allocation will consist primarily of common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, rights or warrants to purchase common or preferred stock, and securities of other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Portfolio may also invest in foreign companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares, and other similar securities. Equity Allocation Active Allocated Portion. The Active Allocated Portion will consist of a portfolio of approximately 35-50 growth stocks across a range of market capitalizations and sectors.
DoubleLine Capital LP (the Sub-Adviser or DoubleLine) will actively manage the Active Allocated Portion using a bottom up approach, which involves analyzing the individual attributes of a company, to identify attractive growth prospects. The Sub-Adviser uses quantitative and qualitative criteria to screen companies for favorable characteristics. Companies identified through this screening process are then subjected to fundamental analysis of a companys growth prospects, considering factors such as sustainable competitive advantage, management team and significant ownership by management, capital efficient business model, and other factors affecting a company and its market sectors. The Portfolio may invest in companies that do not have publicly-traded securities but that the Sub-Adviser determines represent attractive growth investments, such as companies that are relatively newly-formed, may represent attractive acquisition targets for more-established companies, or may be contemplating an initial public offering of their shares in the future.
Equity Allocation Index Allocated Portion. With respect to the Index Allocated Portion, the Portfolio will use derivatives, or a combination of derivatives, ETFs and/or direct investments, to provide a return that tracks closely the performance of the Shiller Barclays CAPE US Sector TR USD Index (the Index). The Index aims to identify undervalued sectors in the large-cap equity market based on a modified CAPE (Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings) ratio, which is designed to assess longer term equity valuations by using an inflation adjusted earnings horizon. The Index allocates an equal weight to four U.S. sectors that are undervalued, as determined by the modified CAPE ratio. Each U.S. sector is represented by a sector ETF. Each month, the Index ranks ten U.S. sectors based on the modified CAPE ratio and a twelve-month price momentum factor.
The Index selects the five U.S. sectors that are the most undervalued according to the modified CAPE ratio. Only four of these five undervalued sectors, however, end up in the Index for a given month, as the sector with the worst twelve-month price momentum among the five selected sectors is eliminated. The Portfolio may enter into swap transactions, primarily total return swaps, or futures transactions designed to provide a return approximating the Indexs return. The pricing of any swap transaction will reflect a number of factors that will cause the return on the swap transaction to underperform the Index. The Portfolio expects to use only a small percentage of its assets to attain the desired exposure to the Index because of the structure of the derivatives. As a result, certain derivatives along with other investments will create investment leverage in the Portfolios portfolio.
In certain cases in which such derivatives may be unavailable or the pricing of those derivatives may be unfavorable, the Portfolio may attempt to replicate the Indexs return by purchasing some or all of the securities comprising the Index. Fixed Income Allocation. The Portfolios fixed income allocation will consist of fixed income instruments including, but not limited to, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored corporations, foreign and domestic corporate obligations (including foreign hybrid securities); commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities; fixed income securities issued by corporations and governments in foreign countries including emerging markets issuers; bank loans and assignments; inverse floaters and interest-only and principal-only securities; inflation-indexed bonds; and other securities bearing fixed or variable interest rates of any maturity.
The Portfolio may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality, including below investment grade securities (commonly known as junk bonds). Securities rated below investment grade include those that, at the time of investment, are rated Ba1 or lower by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or BB+ or lower by Fitch Ratings Ltd. (Fitch) or Standard & Poors Global Ratings (S&P) or the equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or, if unrated, determined by AXA Equitable Funds Management Group, LLC (the Adviser) or the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Portfolio may also invest to a limited extent in debt obligations of distressed companies, including companies that are close to or in default when, for example, the Sub-Adviser believes the restructured enterprise valuations or liquidation valuations may exceed current market values.
The Portfolio may invest in mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities of any credit rating or credit quality. The Sub-Adviser will actively manage asset class exposure within the fixed income allocation using bottom up securities selection, and will attempt to exploit inefficiencies within the subsectors of the fixed income market. The Sub-Adviser uses a controlled risk approach in managing the Portfolios fixed income investments, which includes consideration of: Security selection within a given asset class Relative performance of the various market sectors and asset classes The rates offered by bonds at different maturities Fluctuations in the overall level of interest rates Under normal market conditions, the weighted average effective duration of the Portfolios fixed income allocation will be no less than two years and no more than eight years.
Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to changes in interest rates. Effective duration is a measure of the duration of the Portfolios fixed income portfolio adjusted for the anticipated effect of interest rate changes on pre-payment rates. The effective duration of the Portfolios fixed income investments may vary materially from its target, from time to time, and there is no assurance that the duration of the Funds fixed income investments will meet its target. Other Investments. In implementing its dynamic allocation investment strategy, the Portfolio may invest in derivatives, including futures, forwards, swaps and options, and other instruments rather than investing directly in equity or fixed income securities.
These derivatives and other instruments may be used for a variety of purposes, including to reduce risk, to seek enhanced returns from certain asset classes and to leverage the Portfolios exposure to certain asset classes. The Portfolio may use index futures, for example, to gain broad exposure to a particular segment of the market, while buying representative securities to achieve exposure to another. The Portfolio also may enter into foreign currency transactions for hedging and non-hedging purposes on a spot (i.e., cash) basis or through the use of derivatives. The Sub-Adviser will choose in each case based on considerations of cost and efficiency of access to the desired investment exposure. The Portfolio may invest in derivatives to the extent permitted by applicable law. It is anticipated that the Funds use of derivatives will be consistent with its overall investment strategy of obtaining and managing exposure to various asset classes.
Because the Sub-Adviser will use derivatives to manage the Portfolios exposure to different asset classes, the Portfolios use of derivatives may be substantial. The Portfolios investments in derivatives may involve the use of leverage because the Portfolio is not required to invest the full market value of the contract upon entering into the contract but participates in gains and losses on the full contract price. In addition, the Portfolios investments in derivatives may involve the use of leverage because the heightened price sensitivity of some derivatives to market changes may magnify the Portfolios gain or loss. It is not generally expected, however, that the Portfolio will be leveraged by borrowing money for investment purposes. The Portfolio may maintain a significant percentage of its assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments, some of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Portfolios obligations under derivative transactions.
The Portfolio may invest in other investment companies, including ETFs, in seeking to carry out the Portfolios investment strategies. Such investments may include investment companies sponsored or managed by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates. The Portfolio also may invest its uninvested cash in high-quality, short-term debt securities, including high-quality money market instruments, and also may invest uninvested cash in money market funds, including money market funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Portfolios holdings may be frequently adjusted to reflect the Sub-Advisers assessment of changing risks, which could result in high portfolio turnover. The Portfolio may also lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
