C000116762 Investment Objective and Strategy
AST MFS Large-Cap Value Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Advanced Series Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
In pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in securities issued by issuers with large market capitalizations. Large market capitalization issuers are issuers with market capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of purchase. The Portfolio normally invests primarily in equity securities, and it may also invest in foreign securities. The Portfolios subadviser, Massachusetts Financial Services Company, normally invests in assets across different industries and sectors, but the Portfolio may at times invest a large percentage of the Portfolios assets in issuers in a single industry or sector. The Portfolio focuses on investing in the securities of companies the subadviser believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies), and utilizes an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments.
Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuers earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. Quantitative models that systematically evaluate an issuers valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, may also be considered.
