C000170902 Investment Objective and Strategy
LVIP Western Asset Core Bond Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the LVIP Western Asset Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is to maximize total return, consistent with prudent investment management and liquidity needs.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests in a portfolio of fixed income securities of various maturities and, under normal market conditions, will invest at least 80% of its net assets in debt and fixed income securities. Although the Fund may invest in debt and fixed income securities of any maturity, under normal market conditions the target dollar-weighted average effective duration for the Fund is expected to range within 20% of the average duration of the Funds benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (generally, this range is 3 7 years). Effective duration seeks to measure the expected sensitivity of market price to changes in interest rates, taking into account the anticipated effects of structural complexities (for example, some bonds can be prepaid by the issuer). The Fund presently intends to limit its investments to U.S.
dollar denominated securities and currently anticipates that it will generally only purchase debt securities that are rated in the Baa or BBB categories or above at the time of purchase by one or more Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs) or unrated securities of comparable quality at the time of purchase (as determined by the sub-adviser). The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in investment grade, dollar-denominated foreign investments (including emerging markets investments). The Fund may also enter into various exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative transactions for both hedging and non-hedging purposes, including for purposes of enhancing returns.
These derivative transactions may include, but are not limited to, futures, options and swaps. In particular, the Fund may use interest rate swaps, credit default swaps (including buying and selling credit default swaps on individual securities and/or baskets of securities), options (including options on credit default swaps) and futures contracts to a significant extent, although the amounts invested in these instruments may change from time to time.
