JNL/S&P Managed Moderate Growth Fund Class A (0P00003C78)

Overview

The company operates as an investment fund, strategically allocating its assets across a diverse range of underlying funds. Specifically, the fund targets a distribution of its investments into four distinct asset classes: equity securities, fixed-income securities, money market securities, and alternative assets. The allocation percentages are carefully chosen to balance risk and potential returns, reflecting a moderate to aggressive investment stance. The mix of investments in equity and fixed-income securities forms the core of the fund's portfolio, providing a blend of growth and income. Meanwhile, allocations to money market securities and alternative assets and strategies offer liquidity and the potential for higher returns, albeit with possibly increased risks.

Products and Services

• Equity Securities

  The fund invests 50% to 70% of its assets in underlying funds that primarily focus on equity securities. This allocation targets growth by investing in stocks, which represent ownership in companies. Equity investments often offer higher potential returns compared to fixed-income investments, but they also come with a higher level of risk and volatility.

• Fixed-Income Securities

  Allocating 30% to 50% of its assets, the fund invests in underlying funds primarily engaged in fixed-income securities. Fixed-income investments typically include bonds and other debt instruments that pay regular interest income. This category aims to provide the portfolio with a stable income stream and reduce volatility, making it a crucial counterbalance to the equity holdings.

• Money Market Securities

  The fund dedicates 0% to 20% of its assets to underlying funds that focus on money market securities. Money market investments encompass short-term debt securities such as treasury bills and commercial paper. They are considered low-risk and offer liquidity, serving as a safety net within the portfolio.

• Alternative Assets and Strategies

  Lastly, the fund allocates 0% to 20% of its assets to underlying funds that invest in alternative assets and employ alternative strategies. This segment can include a wide range of investments outside of traditional stocks, bonds, and cash. Examples might be commodities, real estate, hedge funds, or private equity. These alternatives potentially offer non-correlated returns to traditional markets, diversifying risk and enhancing potential returns.
