C000120645 Investment Objective and Strategy

First Investors Life Series Opportunity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by First Investors Life Series Funds.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests primarily in mid- and small-size companies that the Funds investment adviser, Foresters Investment Management Company, Inc., believes offer strong growth opportunities. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to such securities. The Fund may continue to hold stocks of companies that grow into larger companies and may also invest opportunistically in larger companies. The Fund uses a bottom-up approach to selecting investments. The Fund uses fundamental research to search for companies that have one or more of the following: a strong balance sheet; experienced management; above-average earnings growth potential; and stocks that are attractively priced. The Fund attempts to stay broadly diversified, but it may emphasize certain industry sectors based upon economic and market conditions.

The Fund may sell a stock if it becomes fully valued, its fundamentals have deteriorated or alternative investments become more attractive. The Fund may also sell a stock if it grows into a large, well-established company, although it may also continue to hold such a stock irrespective of its size.
