Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund  perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and the Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index (the "benchmark"), before sales charges.. Overall sector allocation and security selection contributed to performance, relative to the benchmark. Security selection within consumer staples and consumer discretionary contributed the most, while selection within real estate and health care detracted. In terms of sector allocation, an overweight to financials and an underweight to materials added to gains and offset losses from an overerweight to energy and an underweight to health care. Country allocation (a result of bottom-up security analysis combined with fundamental research) contributed, led by an overweight to Japan; an underweight to Australia detracted.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

Over the 12-month period, the portfolio underperformed the Bloomberg US High Yield 1-5 Year Cash Pay 2% Total Return Index (the “benchmark“), before sales charges. Security selection detracted the most from relative performance, mainly from selections in consumer non-cyclicals, media, telecommunications and services that outweighed gains from selections in energy, other consumer cyclicals and finance. Yield-curve positioning in the US also detracted, particularly from underweights to the six-month and two-year parts of the curve, which were partially offset by a gain from an overweight to the five-year part of the curve. At the country allocation level, off-benchmark exposure to the eurozone contributed to relative performance. Currency decisions did not impact investment results during the period.

 

Treasury futures were used to manage duration and yield-curve positioning, while currency forwards were used to hedge currency risk. Credit default swaps were used to maintain overall account risk relative to benchmark and to actively take single issuer exposure. Purchased options were used to hedge tail risk; written options were utilized to hedge tail risk via put spreads.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period, all share chasses of the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg 1-5 Year US Government/Credit Index (the “benchmark”), before sales charges. Industry allocation was the primary contributor to performance, relative to the benchmark, from an underweight to US Treasuries and off-benchmark exposure to collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateral loan obligations that were partially offset by losses from exposure to investment-grade credit default swaps in the US. Security selection also contributed from selections in other asset-backed securities and energy. Overall yield-curve positioning in the US detracted from performance. Off-benchmark country allocation to the eurozone also added to performance. Currency decisions did not impact performance during the period.

 

The Fund used derivatives in the form of interest rate swaps, currency forwards and credit default swaps. Interest rate futures were used to manage and hedge duration risk and/or take active yield-curve positioning, while currency forwards were used to hedge foreign currency exposure. Credit default swaps were also used to effectively obtain high yield credit/sector exposure.

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

Since inception, the Fund has outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark”). Security selection among investment-grade corporate bonds, underweight in mortgage-backed securities, and out-of-benchmark allocation to high-yield corporate bonds contributed, relative to the benchmark. Yield-curve positioning detracted marginally with portfolio running similar benchmark interest rate exposures. Country allocation and currency decisions did not impact performance during the period.

 

The fund used derivatives in the form of treasury futures for hedging purposes.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

Since inception, the Fund has outperformed the Bloomberg US Corporate Bond Index (the “benchmark”). Security selection among investment-grade corporate bonds was the largest contributor, relative to the benchmark. Overall yield-curve positioning detracted, mostly from overweights to the five- to 20-year parts of the curve, which were partially offset by gains to the six-month and two-year parts of the curve. Currency decisions did not impact performance during the period. 

 

The Fund used to treasury futures to hedge duration.

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index (“ACWI”) Growth (the “benchmark“), before sales charges. Overall security selection drove the outperformance led by selection within technology and industrials; selection within health care and real estate were the only negative sectors. Sector allocation also contributed: an underweight to consumer staples and an overweight to technology offset losses from underweight to communication services and an overweight to health care.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg US Corporate HY 2% Issuer Capped Index (the “benchmark”), before sales charges. Security selection was the largest detractor, relative to the benchmark, from selections in telecommunications, services and banking, which were partially offset by gains from selections in energy. Industry allocation contributed, mainly from an overweight to banking. Yield-curve positioning also contributed, mostly from overweights to the five- and 10-year parts of the curve which partially offset losses from underweights in the six month- and two-year parts of the curve. Currency decisions did not have an impact performance during the period.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund utilized derivatives in the form of treasury futures to manage duration and yield-curve positioning. Currency forwards were utilized to hedge currency risk. Credit default swaps were used to maintain overall account risk relative to the benchmark and to actively take a single issuer exposure.

The Fund’s quality rating breakdown is expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s total investments in municipal securities and may vary over time. The quality ratings are determined by using the S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Fund considers the credit ratings issued by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and uses the highest rating issued by the agencies. These ratings are a measure of the quality and safety of a bond or portfolio, based on the issuer’s financial condition. AAA is the highest (best) and D is the lowest (worst). If applicable, the pre-refunded category includes bonds which are secured by U.S. Government securities and therefore are deemed high-quality investment grade by AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "Adviser"). If applicable, Not Applicable (N/A) includes non-credit worthy investments, such as equities, currency contracts, futures and options. If applicable, the Not Rated category includes bonds that are not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Adviser evaluates the creditworthiness of non-rated securities based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, cash flows, enterprise value and economic environment.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period, the Fund out performed Standarad & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Total Return Index (the "benchmark"). Both security and sector selection contributed, relative to the benchmark. Within security selection, positions within Broadcom and Unum were the largest contributors, while holdings within Civitas Resources and LyondellBasell detracted the most. Overweights to utilities and financials contributed, while an underweight to technology and an overweight to materials detracted from overall performance.

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index (the "benchmark"), before sales charges. Overall security selection was positive, while sector allocation was negative. Security selection within consumer staples and industrials added to gains, while selection within consumer discretionary and health care detracted. In terms of sector allocation, gains from an overweight to communication services and an underweight to energy were offset by an overweight to health care and an underweight to consumer discretionary, which detracted.
