C000140444 Investment Objective and Strategy
AST PIMCO Dynamic Bond 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 total return.
Principal investment strategy
The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in US and foreign investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income investments (commonly known as junk bonds). The Portfolio seeks both current income and capital appreciation as elements of total return. The Portfolio attempts to exploit pricing anomalies throughout the global fixed income and currency markets. Additionally, the Portfolio uses short positions and derivatives for both investment and hedging purposes. The Portfolio may sell investments that the subadviser believes are no longer favorable with regard to these factors. The Portfolio invests primarily in: US Government securities (such as US Treasury securities or Treasury inflation protected securities); non-US sovereign debt; agency securities; corporate debt securities; agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities; asset-backed securities; custodial receipts; municipal securities; loans and loan participations; and convertible securities.
The Portfolios investments in loans and loan participations may include, but are not limited to: (a) senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt; (b) second lien or other subordinated or unsecured floating rate and fixed rate loans or debt; and (c) other types of secured or unsecured loans with fixed, floating or variable interest rates. The Portfolio may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity. Strategic in the Portfolios name means that the Portfolio seeks both current income and capital appreciation as elements of total return. The Portfolios investments in derivatives may include, in addition to forward currency exchange contracts, futures contracts (including interest rate futures and treasury and sovereign bond futures), options (including options on futures contracts, swaps, bonds, stocks and indexes), swaps (including credit default, index, basis, total return, volatility and currency swaps), and other forward contracts.
