Focused on Profitable Growth

AB American Growth Portfolio

US equity market returns have been extremely concentrated in 2023. The so-called Magnificent Seven stocks, have dominated market returns while many other companies have been left behind. Historically, these extreme levels of concentration have not been sustainable.

As inflation and economic growth normalize, investors will have to be more discerning in their search of growth. Over the long-term, we believe companies with high-quality businesses and durable growth prospects will be rewarded.

The AB American Growth Portfolio takes a differentiated approach to large-cap growth investing, aiming to identify exceptional businesses that exhibit two key characteristics: high and improving levels of profitability, and ample opportunity for reinvestment. Businesses that exhibit these characteristics can unlock the power of compounding, delivering persistent, profitable growth, and support more consistent risk-adjusted returns over time.
