AB USD Corporate Bond Portfolio

Strategy

We seek to increase the value of your investment over time through total return, using a combination of income and capital growth. To do this we:

  • Use a systematic (i.e. rule based) investment process and quantitative research to build a diversified portfolio of US dollar denominated, investment grade, corporate bonds using a dynamic, multi factor systematic approach to identify securities with the best future risk-adjusted returns.

  • The approach considers a number of factors in seeking to generate returns through a “bottom-up” security selection process.

  • These factors include: value, momentum, size, quality, carry, volatility, and may change over time.

Pricing & Performance

  1. Annual Performance
  2. Calendar Year Performance

  4. Daily Statistics

The Fund is not managed to target or exceed the performance of any specific benchmark, nor are investment decisions constrained by any benchmark. However, investors can assess the performance of the Fund against index shown.

The display above shows the performance based on total return net of management fees, but does not reflect sales charges or the effect of taxes. The figures therefore do not reflect the actual return to an investor.

The charges paid by the Fund are used to pay the costs for running the Fund, including the costs of marketing and distributing it. These charges reduce the potential return of your investment.  For a complete description and full details of the applicable costs and charges, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.

The Management Fee is an annual fee paid to the management company to which the management of the Fund has been delegated. Out of this fee, the management company pays the investment management fee to the Investment Manager but also may pay other service providers.

The Performance Fee (if any) is paid to the Investment Manager under certain specific conditions.

The Ongoing Charges are charges taken from the Fund over a year based on expenses for the year. This figure may vary from year to year. It excludes performance fees (if any), portfolio transaction costs, except in the case of an entry/exit charge paid by the Fund, when buying or selling units in another collective investment undertaking. The Ongoing Charges figure can help you compare the annual operating expenses of different funds.

The Entry and Exit Charges shown are maximum figures and are one-off charges taken before or after you invest in the Fund.
