C000176495 Investment Objective and Strategy
Lincoln iShares® U.S. Moderate Allocation 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 Lincoln iShares ® U.S. Moderate Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Current income is also a consideration.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests substantially all of its assets in Exchange Traded Funds (underlying ETFs) or financial instruments that provide exposure to such underlying ETFs. The underlying ETFs, in turn, invest in equity (stocks) and/or fixed income (bonds) securities. The Funds underlying ETF strategy is sub-advised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (BlackRock). Under normal circumstances, the Fund, through the underlying ETFs, invests at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of investments that provides exposure to U.S. securities. The Funds non-U.S. exposure may include emerging markets securities. Under normal circumstances, approximately 60% of the Funds underlying ETF assets will be invested primarily in equity securities (stocks) and approximately 40% of the Funds underlying ETF assets will be invested primarily in fixed income securities (bonds).
In general, the Fund invests in three different kinds of underlying ETFs: those that invest primarily in equity securities or certain other instruments described below (referred to as equity funds), those that invest primarily in fixed income securities (referred to as fixed income funds), and those that invest in a mix of securities and other instruments in which equity funds and fixed income funds invest (referred to as multi-asset funds). Equity funds may include funds that invest in, among other things, domestic equities, real estate-related securities or instruments and commodity-related securities or instruments. Fixed income funds may include funds that invest in, among other things, domestic bonds, U.S. Government securities, mortgage-backed securities, high yield (or junk) bonds, and cash or money market instruments.
Multi-asset funds may include funds that invest in any of the securities or instruments in which equity funds or fixed income funds may invest. Variations in the target asset allocation between equity and fixed income securities, through investments in underlying ETFs, are permitted up to 10%. Therefore, based on a target equity/fixed income allocation of 60%/40%, the Fund may have an equity/fixed income allocation that ranges from 50%/50% to 70%/30%. Although variations beyond the 10% range are generally not permitted, the sub-adviser may determine in light of market conditions or other factors that a greater variation is warranted to protect the Fund or achieve its investment goal. The Funds equity allocation may be further diversified by style (including both value and growth funds), market capitalization (including both large cap and small cap funds), or other factors.
The Funds fixed income allocation may be further diversified by sector (including government, corporate, agency, mortgage-backed securities, and other sectors), duration (a calculation of the average life of a bond which measures its price risk), credit quality (including non-investment grade debt or junk bonds), or other factors. The percentage allocation to the various types of equity and fixed income securities are determined at the discretion of the portfolio managers and can be changed to reflect the current market environment.The Fund may, when consistent with its investment objective, buy or sell options or futures, or enter into total return swaps (collectively, commonly known as derivatives). The Fund may seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as reverse repurchase agreements or dollar rolls).
Reverse repurchase agreements may constitute borrowing. The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying ETF and such derivative exposure shall be included in the Funds equity or fixed income asset allocation as determined by Fund management. The Fund may also use derivatives as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks and to enhance returns, in which case their use would involve leveraging risk.
