C000259908 Investment Objective and Strategy
Venerable Emerging Markets Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Venerable Variable Insurance Trust.
Investment objective
"The Venerable Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the ""Fund"") seeks to provide long term capital growth."
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of emerging market companies and in derivatives that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities of emerging market companies. The Fund invests in equity securities, including common stocks and preferred stocks, of companies economically tied to emerging market countries and in depositary receipts representing shares in such companies. The Fund considers emerging market countries to include every country in the world except Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In determining if a security is economically tied to an emerging market country, the Fund generally looks to the ""country of risk"" of the issuer as determined by a third party such as Bloomberg L.P. The Fund's securities are denominated principally in foreign currencies and are typically held outside the U.S. A portion of the Fund's investments may be illiquid investments. The Fund may use derivatives, including country index futures, swaps, and/or currency forwards, to manage country and currency exposure and to facilitate the implementation of its investment strategy. For example, the Fund may at times seek to protect a portion of its investments against adverse currency exchange rate changes by purchasing forward currency contracts. The Fund may use derivatives to take both long and short positions.
The Fund may invest in synthetic foreign equity securities, which may be international warrants, local access products, participation notes or low exercise price warrants. International warrants are a form of derivative security issued by foreign banks that either give holders the right to buy or sell an underlying security or securities for a particular price or give holders the right to receive cash payment relating to the value of the underlying security or securities. Local access products are similar to options in that they are exercisable by the holder for an underlying security or the value of that security but are generally exercisable over a longer term than typical options. Participation notes are a form of derivative issued by a bank or broker-dealer that provide the same exposure to an underlying security as buying the underlying security directly.
A low exercise price warrant gives the holder the right to purchase an underlying security at a price lower than the current market price, which can be advantageous if the market price of the underlying security increases. The Fund may also invest in equity linked notes, which are notes whose return is tied to a single stock or a basket of stocks. Generally, upon the maturity of the note, the holder receives a return of principal based on the capital appreciation of the underlying linked securities. The Fund may, from time to time, invest a significant portion of its total assets in securities of companies in a particular sector or sectors. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the information technology sector and the financials sector.
In addition, the Fund expects to have a significant focus on issuers located in China. The Fund may invest in other investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in real estate investment trusts (""REITs""), which are companies that own and/or manage properties. The Adviser has engaged Russell Investment Management, LLC (""RIM"") to provide the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio pursuant to a multi-style and multi-manager approach and investment guidelines provided by the Adviser. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets among a number of different investment strategies (or ""sleeves""), each of which is advised by RIM or by RIM and a non-discretionary sub-adviser that provides the Adviser and RIM with investment recommendations in the form of a model portfolio, which RIM utilizes to purchase and sell securities for the Fund.
The non-discretionary sub-advisers utilize different investment strategies in providing investment recommendations for their respective sleeves, act independently from one another, and use their own methodologies for selecting investments. Non-discretionary sub-advisers may employ a fundamental investment approach, a quantitative investment approach, or a combination of both. The Fund's use of such model portfolios and the allocation of Fund assets may change at any time. RIM also manages the Fund's cash balances and may manage portions of the Fund during transitions between non-discretionary sub-adviser strategies. The Fund usually, but not always, pursues a strategy of being fully invested by exposing all or a portion of its cash to the performance of certain markets by purchasing equity securities and/or derivatives, which typically include index futures contracts and forward currency contracts."
