- The net of fee 1 year and Inception to date returns for the composite as of 12/31/2023: 7.27%, 0.41%, respectively. The 1 year and Inception to date returns for the benchmark as of 12/31/2023: 7.88%, 0.77%, respectively.
- The Composite inception date was July 31, 2022 and the Composite creation date under the GIPS standards was July 2022. Accounts in the Custom Corporate Securitized Strategy (“Strategy”) are managed versus the Bloomberg Custom Corporate Securitized Blend Index. The investment objective is to provide better performance than the benchmark over a full market cycle through active sector rotation, bottom-up security selection, and yield curve management. Accounts in this composite are actively managed using all investment grade sectors of the bond market. The strategy allocates between Treasuries, Credit, and Securitized assets as sector relative value changes. The strategy tracks the duration of the benchmark very closely. The Custom Corporate Securitized strategy is managed with the same core Fixed Income philosophy and process that Jennison employs across all mandates. The difference between this strategy and existing corporate strategies is the greater use of Securitized assets. The use of the Securitized sector allows Jennison to optimize active sector rotation. The Securitized sector also adds another source of alpha with return drivers significantly different from the Credit space. The Securitized sector when used as a replacement for Credit can reduce downside volatility and improve liquidity. 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.
- Where allowed by client guidelines, the Strategy includes the regular use of Treasury futures for non-speculative, hedging purposes only. These derivative instruments are used to implement yield curve and duration management strategies. The risk characteristics of these instruments are similar to the underlying Treasury securities.
- Performance results are calculated in US dollars and reflect reinvestment of income and other earnings. Gross of fee performance is presented before custodial and Jennison’s actual advisory fees but after transaction costs. Net of fee performance is presented net of Jennison’s actual advisory fees and transaction costs. For a custom corporate securitized fixed separate account the fee schedule offered to institutional clients is as follows: 0.25% on first $250 million of assets managed; 0.20% on next $250 million; 0.10% on next $500 million; 0.08% on the balance. For any account with a balance of $800 million or greater, the fee schedule is as follows: 0.13% on the first $1.2 billion of assets managed; 0.10% on the next $800 million; 0.08% on the balance. The minimum account size for a new separate account is generally $100 million. Actual advisory fees charged and actual account minimum size may vary by account due to various conditions described in Jennison Associates LLC’s Form ADV.
- The data presented represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance results fluctuate, and there can be no assurances that objectives will be achieved. Client’s principal may be at risk under certain market conditions.
- The Internal Dispersion (dispersion) is the standard deviation of individual gross account returns within a composite. It is a measure of how consistently a strategy has been applied across accounts within a composite. The dispersion is calculated when there are at least six accounts in the Composite for a full year and is based on the gross of fee annual returns of accounts in the Composite for the full year. For those periods where fewer than 6 accounts are in the Composite for a full year, or where the period is less than a full year, “N/A” is presented.
- The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite’s gross return the benchmark over the preceding 36-month period. This measure is not required to be presented for annual periods ended prior to 2011 or when 36 monthly composite returns are not yet available.
- The benchmark for the composite is the Bloomberg Custom Corporate Securitized Blend Index.
