C000203174 Investment Objective and Strategy
EQ/PIMCO Total Return ESG Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks to achieve maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures contracts, or swap agreements. Fixed Income Instruments include bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The Portfolio invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities, but may invest up to 20% of its total assets in high yield securities, also known as junk bonds, as rated by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), Standard & Poors Global Rating (S&P) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch), or, if unrated, as determined by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser. The Portfolio also may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and may invest beyond this limit in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its total assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries (this limitation does not apply to investment grade sovereign debt denominated in the local currency with less than one year remaining to maturity, which means the Portfolio may invest, together with any other investments denominated in foreign currencies, up to 30% of its total assets in such instruments). The Portfolio will normally limit its foreign currency exposure (from non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities or currencies) to 20% of its total assets. Subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Portfolios Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, the Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities.
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. It is not expected, however, that the Portfolio will be leveraged by borrowing money for investment purposes. The Portfolios investments in derivatives may require it to maintain a percentage of its assets in cash, cash equivalent instruments or other liquid assets to serve as margin or collateral for the Portfolios obligations under derivative transactions.
The Portfolio may, without limitation, 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 sale-buyback or dollar roll transactions). In sale-buyback and dollar roll transactions, the Portfolio sells a security to another party and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same security (in the case of a sale-buyback) or a similar, but not the same, security (in the case of a dollar roll) on a specified date and pre-determined price. The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales. The Portfolio may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in preferred securities, convertible securities and other equity-related securities.
The total return sought by the Portfolio consists of income earned on the Portfolios investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates, foreign currency appreciation, or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to changes in interest rates. The longer a securitys duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The average portfolio duration of the Portfolio normally varies within two years (plus or minus) of the portfolio duration of the securities comprising the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, as calculated by the Sub-Adviser, which as of February 28, 2018 was 5.73 years. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
