C000163880 Investment Objective and Strategy
EQ/JPMorgan Hedged Equity and Premium Income 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 while managing portfolio volatility.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Sub-Adviser will allocate the Portfolios assets to achieve targeted exposures among equity investments and fixed income investments. The Portfolios current target allocation for long-term investments is approximately 55% of its net assets in equity investments and approximately 45% of its net assets in U.S. fixed income investments. The Portfolio may from time to time make tactical increases or decreases beyond these target allocations based on a broad range of market and economic trends and quantitative factors. This means at any time the Portfolios asset mix may be significantly different than the target allocations. The Portfolios equity allocation will be invested in the following equity asset categories: U.S. Large Cap Equity, U.S. Mid Cap Equity, U.S. Small Cap Equity, and International Equity (excluding emerging markets).
Under normal market conditions, approximately half of the Portfolios equity allocation will be invested in instruments that provide exposure to International Equity, with the remainder being allocated to the other equity asset classes. The Portfolios equity investments may include exchange-traded funds (ETFs), common and preferred stocks, options, rights, warrants, convertible securities and other equity-related instruments, including, but not limited to, derivatives as described below. The Sub-Adviser will periodically rebalance the Portfolios allocations among the equity asset categories to maintain the desired exposure to each asset category. The Portfolios allocations to different market capitalizations will vary based on the Sub-Advisers tactical views and in response to changing market conditions.
Securities in which the Portfolio may invest may be denominated in any currency. Substantially all of the Portfolios fixed income allocation will be invested in ETFs and in instruments that provide exposure to the U.S. Treasuries asset category, such as U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Treasury futures contracts, with a short to intermediate weighted average duration (generally, 3-7 years). The Portfolios investments in fixed income securities may include floating or variable rate obligations, zero coupon securities and pay-in-kind securities. The Portfolio will implement a volatility management strategy that is intended to reduce the Portfolios market risk exposure and overall volatility during periods of expected heightened market volatility. Volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of changes in the Portfolios returns, without regard to the direction of those changes.
Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk and is often reflected by frequent and sometimes significant movements up and down in value. When the expected market volatility increases to a certain level as determined by the Sub-Adviser based on its proprietary risk model, the Portfolio may reduce its exposure to equity investments by shorting equity futures or may invest up to 100% of its target equity allocation in cash or cash equivalents. During such times, the Portfolios overall exposure to equity investments may deviate significantly from its target allocation and could be substantially less than 55% of the Portfolios net assets (and could be 0%). Although the Portfolios tactical management of equity exposure is intended to reduce the Portfolios overall risk, it may result in periods of underperformance, even during periods when the market is rising.
The Sub-Adviser may determine, in its sole discretion, not to implement the volatility management strategy or to allocate the Portfolios assets in a manner different than the target allocations described above for various reasons including, but not limited to, if the volatility management strategy would result in de minimis trades or result in excess trading due to expected flows into or out of the Portfolio, or in connection with market events and conditions and other circumstances as determined by the Sub-Adviser. Volatility management techniques may reduce potential losses and/or mitigate financial risks to insurance companies that provide certain benefits and guarantees available under the Contracts and offer the Portfolio as an investment option in their products. In pursuing its investment objectives, the Portfolio may also invest in derivatives for the efficient management of the Portfolio (including to enhance returns), to implement the volatility management strategy or for the hedging of market risks.
It is anticipated that the Portfolios derivative instruments will consist primarily of long and short positions on exchange-traded equity and fixed income futures contracts and options on futures contracts and securities indexes as well as currency forwards. The Portfolio also may utilize other types of derivatives and may engage in short sales. The Portfolios investments in derivatives may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the Portfolio is not required to invest the full market value of the contract upon entering into the contract but participates in gains and losses on the full contract price. The use of derivatives also may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the heightened price sensitivity of some derivatives to market changes may magnify the Portfolios gain or loss.
From time to time or potentially for extended periods of time in periods of continued market distress, the Portfolio may maintain a considerable percentage of its total assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments as margin or collateral for the Portfolios obligations under derivative transactions and for other portfolio management purposes. The larger the value of the Portfolios derivative positions, as opposed to positions held in non-derivative instruments, the more the Portfolio will be required to maintain cash and cash equivalents as margin or collateral for such derivatives. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
