Fund Description

The Portfolio is a “fund of funds.” The Portfolio’s main investment strategy is to invest in other Saratoga Advantage Trust mutual funds (the “Saratoga Funds”) and/or unaffiliated registered investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (together with the Saratoga Funds, the “Underlying Funds”).

The Portfolio’s manager, Saratoga Capital Management, LLC (the “Manager”) allocates the Portfolio’s investments in Underlying Funds based on a propriety asset allocation model developed by the Manager (the “Saratoga Strategic Horizon Asset Reallocation Program® model” or the “SaratogaSHARP® model”). Consistent with the SaratogaSHARP® model, the Manager allocates the Portfolio’s investments based on an analysis of capital markets that includes an examination of current economic conditions, historical asset class behavior and current market assumptions. In constructing the Portfolio, the Manager typically allocates assets among asset classes in the following investment categories: core equity, fixed income, money market and alternative investments. The target allocations are: approximately 10%-75% of the Portfolio’s assets to core equity investments; 7%-70% to fixed income investments; 8.5%-70% to money market investments; and 2.5%-32.5% to alternative investments. The Manager does not currently intend to allocate any of the Portfolio’s assets to sector equity investments; however, it may do so in the future. The Portfolio will invest in equity, fixed income and alternative instruments through its investments in the Underlying Funds. The Manager regularly evaluates how individual economic sectors and statistics are affecting the general economy and markets in order to develop the asset allocation parameters. Accordingly, asset allocation parameters may vary widely over time in response to changing market and/or economic conditions.
