JNL/Lazard Emerging Markets Fund Class A (0P00005U1B)

Overview

The company operates a fund that is dedicated to investing primarily in emerging markets through a diversified approach that encompasses several equity strategies. The fund's investment philosophy is grounded in spreading its investments across various sectors and regions within the emerging markets, aiming to tap into the growth potential of these economies while managing risk through diversification. By allocating at least 80% of its assets in emerging market equities, the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective, leveraging the expertise of unaffiliated Sub-Advisers to manage different portions of its portfolio, referred to as "sleeves." This approach allows the fund to benefit from the specialized knowledge and strategic insights of various investment managers, optimizing its performance in the dynamic and diverse emerging markets landscape.

Products and Services

The fund's investment portfolio is structured around the following key products and services:

• Emerging Market Equity Strategies:

  This service comprises the core of the fund's offerings, focusing on equity investments in emerging markets. The fund targets companies situated within different emerging regions, ensuring a wide-ranging exposure across at least three different countries. This diversified approach aims to capitalize on the growth potential within these markets while mitigating geographical and sector-specific risks.

• Diversified Investment Sleeves:

  The fund employs a unique strategy by dividing its investment portfolio into several "sleeves," each managed by different Sub-Advisers who are unaffiliated with the fund. This structure allows for a specialized, focused investment approach within each sleeve, catering to different sectors or regions within the emerging markets. This method enhances the fund's ability to adapt to market changes and leverage opportunities across a broader spectrum of investments.
