SAESX Investment Objective and Strategy
AIG Japan Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Sunamerica Equity Funds.
Investment objective
The investment goal of the AIG Japan Fund (the Japan Fund or the Fund) is long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Funds principal investment strategy is country-specific investing. The strategy of country-specific investing involves investing in securities that focus on a particular country. The principal investment technique of the Fund is active trading of securities of Japanese issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Japan (Japanese companies). Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in Japanese companies. The Fund will invest primarily in common stocks and may invest in securities of companies of any size. The Fund may also invest in other equity securities, which include, without limitation, preferred stock, convertible securities, depositary receipts, rights and warrants. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Funds subadviser, Wellington Management Company LLP (Wellington Management), will employ a contrarian investment process, which is based on valuation and behavioral finance principles applied to overlooked and misunderstood companies.
In particular, the investment process incorporates traditional assessments of financial strength and management credibility with a disciplined approach to determining the current state of investor sentiment toward each industry and securities within the investment universe. The primary principle behind this process is that markets overreact to unexpected negative news, causing share prices to deeply undervalue near-term information. The principal investment strategy and principal investment techniques of the Fund may be changed without shareholder approval. You will receive at least 60 days notice of any change to the 80% investment policy set forth above.
