ORGANIZATION:

The Sentinel Variable Products Trust (the “Trust”) is an open end investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, which continuously offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies to serve as investment vehicles for variable life insurance policies and annuity contracts. The Trust consists of six separate and distinct funds: Sentinel Variable Products Balanced Fund, Sentinel Variable Products Bond Fund, Sentinel Variable Products Common Stock Fund, Sentinel Variable Products Mid Cap Fund, Sentinel Variable Products Money Market Fund and Sentinel Variable Products Small Company Fund, all of which are diversified. The six funds of the Trust are referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Funds”, and individually as a “Fund.”

NOTE 2:

SECURITY VALUATION:

Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange and over-the-counter securities listed in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded on the date of determination as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Securities for which no sale was reported on the valuation date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities not listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. For Funds other than the Money Market Fund, fixed-income securities with original maturities of greater than 60 days, including short-term securities with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued on the basis of valuations provided by an independent pricing service. The mean between the bid and asked prices is generally used for valuation purposes. Short-term securities with original maturities of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. Securities held in the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost regardless of days left to maturity, which approximates market value, in accordance with the terms of a rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amortized cost method values a security at cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, will be fair valued under procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The Board has delegated this responsibility to a pricing committee, subject to its review and supervision.

NOTE 3:

The fair value hierarchy as required by GAAP are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

  • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets at the time of the NYSE close (normally 4:00 PM Eastern). Includes most domestic equities, American Depository Receipts, Exchange Traded Funds and Standard & Poor’s Depository Receipts that rely on unadjusted or official closing prices based on actual trading activity which coincides with the close of the NYSE.


  • Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (evaluated prices factoring in observable inputs using some type of model, matrix or other calculation methodology which takes into consideration factors such as quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
    Includes most long-term and short-term fixed income investments, most foreign equities trading on foreign exchanges and over-the-counter securities not listed on the NASDAQ National Market System that rely on a mean price which falls between the last bid and asked quotes coinciding with the close of the NYSE. Investments in other Regulated Investment Companies (RIC’s) that rely on calculated Net Asset Values (NAV’s) would also generally be considered Level 2.
  • Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including non-binding broker quotes or the Sentinel Pricing Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are normally valued using amortized cost, which approximates the current fair value of a security, but since this value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques during the fiscal year, but the Sentinel Pricing Committee considers factors such as few recent transactions, inconsistent price quotes and wider bid-ask spreads when determining if transactions are not orderly for fair valuation purposes.
