The AB All Market Real Return Portfolio has an investment objective of maximizing real return over inflation. The Fund invests primarily in instruments that the Adviser expects to outperform broad equity indices during periods of rising inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund expects to invest its assets principally in the following instruments that, in the judgment of the Adviser, are affected directly or indirectly by the level and change in the rate of inflation: inflation-indexed fixed-income securities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, and similar bonds issued by governments outside of the United States; commodities; commodity-related equity securities; real estate equity securities; inflation sensitive equity securities, which the Fund defines as equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to pass along increasing costs to consumers and maintain or grow margins in rising inflation environments, including equity securities of utilities and infrastructure-related companies; securities and derivatives linked to the price of other assets (such as commodities, stock indices and real estate); and currencies.
