1290 VT Energy Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies in the energy sector through investments in exchange-traded securities of other investment companies and investment vehicles (exchange-traded funds or ETFs). The energy sector includes companies engaged in such activities as exploring, developing, mining, refining, producing, distributing, transporting, and dealing in conventional and alternative sources of energy; making and servicing component products for such activities; and energy research and development. The Portfolio may invest in ETFs that invest in equity securities of companies of any size in developed and emerging markets throughout the world. The Portfolio invests its assets in ETFs in accordance with weightings determined by AXA Equitable Funds Management Group, LLC (FMG LLC or the Adviser), the Portfolios investment manager.
ETFs are investment companies or other investment vehicles whose shares are listed and traded on U.S. stock exchanges or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market and may be purchased and sold throughout the trading day based on their market price. Generally, an ETF seeks to track a securities index or a basket of securities that an index provider (such as Standard & Poors, Dow Jones, Russell or Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)) selects as representative of a market, market segment, industry sector, country or geographic region. An index-based ETF generally holds the same stocks or bonds as the index it tracks (or it may hold a representative sample of such securities). Accordingly, an index-based ETF is designed so that its performance, before fees and expenses, will correspond closely with that of the index it tracks.
ETFs may also be actively managed. The ETFs in which the Portfolio may invest are referred to herein as the Underlying ETFs. The Adviser uses a two-stage allocation process to create an investment portfolio of ETFs for the Portfolio. The first stage involves a strategic allocation that is intended to achieve a desired risk/return profile for the Portfolio, while providing broad exposure to the energy sector. In this stage, the Adviser decides what portion of the Portfolios assets should be invested in various industries within the energy sector and in which geographic regions based on an evaluation of the potential return characteristics and risks of the particular energy industries and geographic regions. Currently, the Portfolio intends to invest (through ETFs) approximately 90% of its assets in traditional energy industries (e.g., oil and gas) and 10% of its assets in alternative energy industries (e.g., solar and wind).
The Portfolio also intends to invest (through ETFs) approximately 90% of its assets in U.S. securities and 10% of its assets in foreign securities, including securities of companies in emerging market countries. These percentages can deviate by up to 15% of the Portfolios assets. The Adviser may adjust these strategic allocations from time to time. The second stage of this process involves the selection of Underlying ETFs to provide exposure to the energy industries and geographic regions identified as a result of the first stage of the investment process. The Adviser seeks to select a combination of Underlying ETFs that together provide the targeted energy industry and geographic exposure for the Portfolio. In selecting the Underlying ETFs, the Adviser also seeks to construct a diversified portfolio of ETFs that use a variety of indexing methodologies within the energy sector.
Individual ETF weights are based on a variety of factors, including the Underlying ETFs exposure to the desired energy industry or geographic region, investment objective(s), total return, portfolio holdings, volatility, expenses and liquidity. For purposes of complying with the Portfolios investment policies, the Adviser will identify Underlying ETFs in which to invest by reference to such Underlying ETFs investment policies at the time of investment. An Underlying ETF that changes its investment policies subsequent to the time of the Portfolios investment may continue to be considered an appropriate investment for purposes of the policy. The Adviser may add new Underlying ETFs or replace or eliminate existing Underlying ETFs without notice or shareholder approval. The Underlying ETFs have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the Portfolio.
The Adviser may sell the Portfolios holdings for a variety of reasons, including to invest in an Underlying ETF believed to offer superior investment opportunities. The Portfolio may hold cash or invest in short-term paper and other short-term investments (instead of allocating investments to an Underlying ETF) as deemed appropriate by the Adviser. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
