EQ/MFS Mid Cap Focused Growth Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Eq Advisors Trust.
Investment objective
Seeks to provide growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of mid-capitalization companies (or financial instruments that derive their value from such securities). For purposes of this Portfolio, mid-capitalization companies typically are companies with market capitalizations within the capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2017, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell Midcap Growth Index ranged from approximately $1.2 billion to $36.68 billion. The size of companies in the index changes with market conditions, which can result in changes to the market capitalization range of companies in the index. The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of mid-capitalization companies that the Sub-Adviser believes are high quality and/or offer above-average growth potential.
In selecting securities for the Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser primarily emphasizes a bottom-up (researching individual issuers) approach and focuses on companies it believes have the potential for strong growth, increasing profitability, stable and sustainable revenue and earnings streams, attractive valuations and sound capital structures. Such companies may include companies in the information technology sector. The Sub-Adviser may look at a number of factors in its consideration of a company, such as: new or innovative products or services; adaptive or creative management; strong financial and operational capabilities to sustain multi-year growth; stable and consistent revenue, earnings, and cash flow; strong balance sheet; market potential; and profit potential. Part of the Sub-Advisers investment process also includes a review of the macroeconomic environment, with a focus on factors such as interest rates, inflation, consumer confidence and corporate spending.
Generally, in determining whether to sell a security, the Sub-Adviser considers many factors, including what it believes to be excessive valuation given company growth prospects, deterioration of fundamentals, weak cash flow to support shareholder returns, and unexpected and poorly explained management changes. The Sub-Adviser also may sell a security to reduce the Portfolios holding in that security, to take advantage of what it believes are more attractive investment opportunities or to raise cash. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
