C000218191 Investment Objective and Strategy
JNL/WCM Focused International Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by JNL Series Trust.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in companies located outside of the United States.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Funds investments in equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities or depositary receipts of non-U.S. domiciled companies located in developed countries, but may also invest in emerging markets and less developed countries. The Funds investments in depositary receipts may include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are receipts that represent interests in foreign securities held on deposit by U.S. banks. WCM Investment Management, LLC, the Funds sub-adviser (the Sub-Adviser), uses a bottom-up approach that seeks to identify companies with attractive fundamentals, such as long-term growth in revenue and earnings, and that show a high probability for superior future growth.
The Sub-Advisers investment process focuses on seeking industry leading companies that the Sub-Adviser believes possess growing competitive advantages; corporate cultures emphasizing strong, quality and experienced management; low or no debt; and attractive relative valuations. The Sub-Adviser also considers other factors in selecting securities, including political risk, monetary policy risk, and regulatory risk. Although the Fund may invest in companies in any capitalization range, it will generally invest in large, established multinational companies. The Fund generally will invest in securities of companies located in different regions and in at least three different countries. From time to time, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the securities of companies in one or a few countries or regions.
The Sub-Adviser will generally reduce position size in the portfolio based on individual holding size, industry/sector weight, as well as other relevant factors. When performing a fundamental analysis, the Sub-Adviser views valuation as the most significant factor in managing position size. The key factors that the Sub-Adviser considers when determining whether to sell out of a position completely are its evaluation(s) of whether a companys competitive advantage is deteriorating or no longer expanding; there are more attractive names in an essentially similar industry; a companys leadership is not performing as expected; a companys culture is challenged; it deems valuation to be excessive; and/or there is material geopolitical or currency risk. The Fund may also invest in A Shares of companies based in the Peoples Republic of China (China) that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange through the Shanghai Hong Kong and Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect programs (Stock Connect).
Stock Connect is a mutual stock market access program designed to, among other things, enable foreign investments in China.
