Overview

The Jennison Large Cap Growth Equity SMA strategy uses a bottom-up, stock-by-stock process to identify growth companies that demonstrate attractive earnings growth believed to be sustainable over the next 12 to 36 months.

The key tenet of Jennison's growth philosophy is that internal fundamental research and a highly interactive investment process lead to successful stock selection. Believing that above-average growth in units, revenues, earnings, and cash flows will drive the value of a security over time, Jennison seeks to invest in companies with these attributes. Buy and sell decisions seek to capture inflection points in a company's growth rate, and the duration of that growth rate is key to the value of holdings. The Portfolio generally holds between 50 and 70 stocks, diversified across industries and sectors.
