The Global Managed Volatility strategy seeks to maximize total return on a risk-adjusted basis over a full market cycle by effectively preserving capital during market downturns. The strategy seeks to accomplish its objective by combining a long-only bottom-up fundamental strategy with quantitative net exposure management which utilizes short global broad market, regional, and sector/industry ETF’s. The long component invests in stocks of companies throughout the world that the investment team believes have the potential to generate attractive long-term earnings growth and price appreciation. The short component is managed using Jennison’s proprietary dynamic volatility management model which uses multiple indicators for portfolio volatility and market risk to manage the net equity exposure and is designed to provide exposure to our Global Equity Opportunities strategy’s long-term return with reduced size of drawdowns. In addition, the strategy may hold substantial short positions (borrowed securities), which may prevent it from implementing its investment strategy if its obligation to cover its short position are at a higher price, resulting in a loss. This loss is potentially unlimited. In addition, selling short is a form of leverage, which may exaggerate an increase or decrease in the strategy’s performance.  A list of Jennison’s composite and limited distribution pooled fund descriptions is available upon request. Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request.
