C000165354 Investment Objective and Strategy
Global Atlantic Goldman Sachs Global Equity Insights Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Forethought Variable Insurance Trust.
Investment objective
The Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
"In seeking to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective, the Portfolio's sub-adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (""GSAM"" or the ""Sub-Adviser""), invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity investments of U.S. and foreign issuers. Foreign securities include securities of issuers located outside the U.S. or securities quoted or denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Under normal circumstances, at least 40% of the Portfolio's net assets will be invested in or exposed to securities of non-U.S. issuers (""foreign securities"") or instruments with exposure to foreign securities of at least three different countries, including emerging markets countries, outside the United States.
In unfavorable market conditions, at least 30% of the Portfolio's net assets will be invested in foreign securities or instruments with exposure to foreign securities. The Portfolio seeks broad representation of large-cap and mid-cap issuers across major countries and sectors of the global economy, with some exposure to small-cap issuers. GSAM uses two distinct strategies a bottom-up stock selection strategy and a top-down country selection strategy to manage the Portfolio. The Portfolio uses a quantitative style of management, in combination with a qualitative overlay, that emphasizes fundamentally-based stock and country/currency selection, careful portfolio construction and efficient implementation. The Portfolio's investments are selected using fundamental research and a variety of quantitative techniques based on certain investment themes, including, among others, Fundamental Mispricings, High Quality Business Models, Sentiment Analysis and Market Themes & Trends.
Fundamental Mispricings seeks to identify high-quality businesses trading at an attractive price, which GSAM believes leads to strong performance over the long-run. High Quality Business Models seeks to identify companies that are generating high-quality revenues with sustainable business models and aligned management incentives. Sentiment Analysis seeks to identify stocks experiencing improvements in their overall market sentiment. Market Themes and Trends seeks to identify companies positively positioned to benefit from themes and trends in the market and macroeconomic environment. The Profitability theme seeks to assess whether a company is earning more than its cost of capital. GSAM may, in its discretion, make changes to its quantitative techniques, or use other quantitative techniques that are based on GSAM's proprietary research.
The Portfolio seeks to maximize its expected return, while maintaining risk, style and capitalization characteristics similar to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (""MSCI"") World Standard Index. Additionally, GSAM's views of the relative attractiveness of countries and currencies are considered in allocating the Portfolio's assets among countries. The MSCI World Standard Index is designed to measure equity market performance of the large and mid-capitalization segments of developed markets, including the United States. The Portfolio may also use derivatives, including futures, to manage cash flows into or out of the Portfolio effectively. The Portfolio's benchmark index is the MSCI World Standard Index, net of dividend withholding taxes, unhedged, measured in USD. The MSCI World Standard Index represents large- and mid-cap equity performance across 23 developed markets countries, covering approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each.
The index offers a broad global equity benchmark, without emerging markets exposure."
