C000114732 Investment Objective and Strategy
Target 2015 Series describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Manning & Napier Fund, Inc..
Investment objective
To provide long-term capital growth and to moderate volatility consistent with its current asset allocation.
Principal investment strategy
"The Series seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of underlying funds according to a target asset allocation strategy. These underlying funds will pursue asset allocation strategies, and will invest in a combination of equity, fixed income and cash investments. The Series target date (the year in the Series name) is the approximate year when the Series assumes investors will stop making new investments in the Series and start making gradual withdrawals. Accordingly, the Series investment approach is expected to become more conservative over time. Within five years after the target date, the Series asset allocation is expected to closely match that of the Target Income Series. The Series current target allocation among the underlying funds is as follows: Manning & Napier Blended Asset Conservative Series 60% Manning & Napier Blended Asset Moderate Series 40% Manning & Napier Blended Asset Extended Series 0% Manning & Napier Blended Asset Maximum Series 0% The Blended Asset Conservative Series invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities with short- to intermediate-term maturities of 3 to 5 years, but it may also invest in non-investment grade securities (junk bonds) and in longer-term securities (such as bonds with maturities of 10 years or more).
The Blended Asset Moderate Series invests primarily in common stocks and investment grade fixed income securities with intermediate- to long-term maturities of 5 to 10 years. The Blended Asset Moderate Series may also invest in non-investment grade securities (junk bonds) and in securities of any maturity. Both Series may invest in U.S. and foreign stocks, including those in emerging markets, and American Depository Receipts, of companies with any market capitalization. In the fixed income portions of their portfolios, both Series invest primarily in U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. and foreign mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and corporate bonds. A portion of the Blended Asset Conservative Series is invested in dividend-paying common stocks. For this portion of the Series, the Advisor uses a systematic process to construct a portfolio consisting primarily of companies trading on U.S.
stock exchanges that it believes will provide competitive returns consistent with the broad equity market while also providing a level of capital protection during sustained market downturns. There are no prescribed limits on the sector allocations of the Blended Asset Conservative Series and the Blended Asset Moderate Series investments and, from time to time, each Series may focus its investments in one or more sectors. The Blended Asset Conservative Series and the Blended Asset Moderate Series may also invest in derivative instruments. They principally write (sell) options on securities, and buy and sell futures contracts based on fixed income securities, interest rates and currencies. In general, the portion of the Series invested in equity investments will decrease and the portion invested in fixed income investments will increase as the Series approaches its target date in accordance with a predetermined ""glide range"".
The graph below represents this glide range and illustrates the ranges of equity and fixed income exposures over time as well as the Series' position along the glide range as of December 31, 2017. As illustrated below, the Series' equity allocation range will continue to be reduced, and the Series' fixed income allocation range will continue to be increased, for five years beyond the Series' target date. Accordingly, the Series reaches its most conservative range of planned allocation approximately five years after its target date. At any given time, however, the Series actual asset allocation may be affected by a number of factors, such as the performance of the underlying funds and the size and frequency of purchase and redemption orders. Further, the Advisor may deviate from the target allocation among underlying funds if circumstances warrant a change.
These circumstances may include factors affecting the overall economy or financial markets or factors that specifically relate to the underlying funds, their assets or their asset allocation strategies. The Series may also invest directly in equity and fixed income securities and cash equivalents, including money market securities. The Series is designed to provide investors with investment management, asset allocation and ongoing reallocation over time."
