JNL/WMC Balanced Fund Class I (0P00003EJ0)

Overview

The fund operates as a diversified investment portfolio, primarily focusing on both common stocks and investment-grade fixed-income securities. By maintaining a strategic allocation of its assets, usually with a weightage of 60-70% in equities and 30-40% in fixed-income securities, it aims to provide a balanced blend of investment opportunities to its clients. Additionally, the fund extends its investment horizon to international markets, earmarking up to 25% of its assets towards foreign equity and fixed-income securities. This approach is designed to optimize returns while managing risk through diversification across different types or classes of securities and geographic regions.

Products and Services

• Common Stocks

The fund invests in a diversified range of common stocks, seeking capital growth from varied sectors. This allows investors to tap into the equity markets' potential for high returns over time.

• Investment Grade Fixed-Income Securities

With a focus on stability, the fund allocates a significant portion of its portfolio to investment-grade fixed-income securities, such as corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury, and government agency bonds. This blend is designed to reduce volatility and provide steady income.

• Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities

Part of the fixed-income allocation includes mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, such as commercial-backed securities. These instruments add another layer of diversification, potentially providing higher yields than traditional bonds.

• Foreign Equity and Fixed-Income Securities

Up to a quarter of the fund's assets may be invested in foreign equity and fixed-income securities. This international exposure enables the fund to leverage global investment opportunities and mitigate risks through geographical diversification.
