About SSTIX
State Street Total Return V.I.S. Fund is a multi-asset mutual fund designed to seek the highest total return, combining both current income and capital appreciation within the bounds of prudent investment risk. The fund achieves this objective by constructing a broadly diversified portfolio that spans three core asset classes: U.S. and international equities, U.S. and foreign bonds, and select alternative investments. Asset allocation typically targets 50-70% exposure to equities, 30-50% to fixed income, and up to 5% to alternatives, with these weights occasionally adjusted in response to changing market conditions or tactical opportunities as determined by the fund’s managers.
Notably, the fund follows an indexing investment approach for the major asset classes and invests either directly in specific securities or indirectly through exchange-traded funds. The managerial process, led by State Street Global Advisors, incorporates both quantitative and fundamental analysis to determine allocations among sub-asset classes, such as U.S. large cap equities, world ex-U.S. stocks, and investment grade bonds. The fund’s moderate allocation profile aims to balance risk and return, making it relevant for investors seeking diversified exposure across global markets and asset types. Shares are available exclusively through variable annuity or variable life insurance products, further tailoring the fund’s use to long-term, tax-advantaged investment strategies.
