C000117545 Investment Objective and Strategy
LVIP American Preservation Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the LVIP American Preservation Fund (the “Fund”) is to seek current income, consistent with the preservation of capital. The objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests substantially all of its assets in mutual funds (underlying funds) which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (bonds). The underlying funds are American Funds Insurance Series and American Funds retail funds. The adviser develops the Fund's asset allocation strategy based on the Fund's investment strategy. Through its investments in underlying funds, the Fund's investment strategy will be to allocate in a mix of underlying funds in different combinations and weightings. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in underlying funds that have a broad range of debt obligations with short term (0-5 years) and medium term (5-15 years) maturities issued by the U.S.
government, securities of corporate issuers, debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities and federal agencies and instrumentalities. A smaller percentage of assets will be allocated to asset-backed securities and high yield securities (junk bonds). At least on an annual basis, the adviser will reassess and make any necessary revisions in the Funds asset allocation strategy consistent with the Fund's investment strategy and objective, including revising the weightings among the investments described above and adding underlying funds or removing underlying funds from the asset allocation strategy. The adviser also will periodically rebalance the weightings in the underlying funds to the current asset allocation strategy. In general, the adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation strategy and will not attempt to time the market.
The adviser uses various analytical tools and third party research to construct the portfolio. The underlying fund selection is made based on the Funds particular asset allocation strategy, the adviser's desired asset class exposures, credit quality, sector exposure, interest rate risk or duration, and the investment styles and performance of the underlying funds. The adviser also considers the portfolio characteristics and risk profile for each underlying fund over various periods and market environments to assess the suitability of each underlying fund as an investment.
