Prior to commencing operations, the Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of California Intermediate Municipal Portfolio (the "Predecessor Fund"), a portfolio of Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. and adopted the accounting and performance history of that fund (the "Reorganization"), as of the close of business on October 3, 2025. The Fund has the same investment objective, strategies, policies and portfolio management team as the Predecessor Fund.

 

The performance of the Predecessor Fund shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower fees and expenses that will be incurred by the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was a mutual fund. The average annual total returns as shown below are based on NAV per share, and are not based on market prices for an ETF as traded on an exchange. The Predecessor Fund performance is based on the performance of Advisor Class shares. Prior to the Fund's acquisition of the Predecessor Fund, the other share classes of the Predecessor Fund were converted into Advisor Class shares.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg 1-10 Year Blend Index (the “benchmark”). Security selection was the primary detractor, relative to the benchmark, while gains from industry allocation offset the losses. Security selection within airports/ports, prepay energy, special tax and multi-family housing detracted, while local general obligation, water & sewer, mortgage pass-throughs, and electric utility contributed to overall performance. Alternatively, industry allocation to mortgage pass-throughs, along with allocation to single family housing detracted from relative performance, while allocation to airports/ports and multi-family housing contributed throughout the period. Overall yield-curve positioning detracted from performance.

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 period? What affected the Fund’s performance?

During the 12-month period, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (the “benchmark”). Relative results were driven by duration and yield‑curve positioning, security selection in investment‑grade corporates and agency mortgage‑backed securities and sector allocations to credit‑risk transfer and high‑yield corporates. These positives more than offset security selection in asset‑backed securities and emerging‑market corporates.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund utilized derivatives in the form of treasury futures and interest rate swaps to manage duration, country exposure and yield-curve positioning. Currency forwards were used to hedge currency risk.

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, 2025, the Fund underperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia and the Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index (the “benchmark”). Overall, sector allocation was broadly in line with the benchmark, while security selection detracted from relative performance. In terms of sector allocation, an overweight to consumer staples and consumer discretionary detracted, while an underweight to materials and an overweight to financials contributed positively. Security selection within consumer staples and real estate contributed the most, while selection within industrials and technology detracted. Country allocation (a result of bottom-up security analysis combined with fundamental research) contributed, led by an underweight to Australia, while an underweight to Japan detracted.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund used derivatives in the form of forwards for hedging purposes, which added to overall performance.

Prior to commencing operations, the Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of New York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio (the "Predecessor Fund"), a portfolio of Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. and adopted the accounting and performance history of that fund (the "Reorganization"), as of the close of business on November 7, 2025. The Fund has the same investment objective, strategies, policies and portfolio management team as the Predecessor Fund.

 

The performance of the Predecessor Fund shown below has not been adjusted to reflect the lower fees and expenses that will be incurred by the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was a mutual fund. The average annual total returns as shown below are based on NAV per share, and are not based on market prices for an ETF as traded on an exchange. The Predecessor Fund performance is based on the performance of Advisor Class shares. Prior to the Fund's acquisition of the Predecessor Fund, the other share classes of the Predecessor Fund were converted into Advisor Class shares.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

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

During the 12-month period ended November 30, 2025, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg 1-10 Year Blend Index (the “benchmark”). Overall security selection and yield-curve positioning detracted from performance, relative to the benchmark. Security selection within special tax, local general obligation and miscellaneous revenue detracted, while prerefunded municipal bonds, multi-family housing and prepay energy contributed. Alternatively, underweights to prepay energy and multi-family housing and an overweight to private higher education detracted, while overweights to industry Industrial Development Revenue and asset-backed securities contributed.

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 underperformed the Bloomberg US High Yield 1-5 Year Cash Pay 2% Total Return Index (the "benchmark"). Security selection among consumer noncyclical, media and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") detracted, relative to the benchmark, while selection among retailers, banking and railroads contributed to overall performance. In the US, yield-curve positioning on the six-month and two-year parts of the curve detracted, while positioning on the five- to ten-year parts of the curve contributed. At the country allocation level, off-benchmark exposure to the eurozone detracted from relative performance. Currency decisions did not impact investment results during the period.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund used derivatives in the form of treasury futures and currency forwards for hedging purposes. Treasury futures were utilized to manage duration and yield-curve positioning. Currency forwards were utilized to hedge currency risk.

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 outperformed the Bloomberg 1-5 Year US Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark"). Industry allocation was the primary contributor to performance, relative to the benchmark, from an underweight to US Treasuries and exposure to conventional 30-year mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and banking that were partially offset by losses from car loan asset-backed securities in the US. Security selection also contributed from selections in consumer noncyclical and high-yield credit default swaps, while car loan asset-backed securities and investment-grade credit default swaps detracted. Overall yield-curve positioning in the US detracted from performance. Overall country allocation and currency decisions did not impact performance during the period.

 

During the 12-month period, derivatives were used in the form of interest rate futures, currency forwards, swaptions 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. Swaptions were utilized to capture significant market movement; credit default swaps were also utilized to effectively obtain credit/sector exposure.

Material Fund Changes 

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, the Fund added the following risks to its Principal Risk as set forth in its prospectus in connection with its exposure to exchange traded funds (each an “Underlying ETF”) through its usage of FLexible EXchange Options (“FLEX options”).

  • Equity Securities Risk: The Underlying ETF invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events.

  • Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: The Underlying ETF invests in the securities of large capitalization companies, which results in the Fund having significant exposure to such companies through its exposure to the Underlying ETFs by virtue of its usage of FLEX Options. Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate and be less able to adapt to changing market conditions than smaller capitalization companies. Thus, the return on investment in securities of large capitalization companies may be less than the return on investment in securities of small and/or mid capitalization companies. The performance of large capitalization companies also tends to trail the overall market during different market cycles.

  • Tax Risk: The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of some aspects of the Fund’s investment operations are not guaranteed. There are some uncertainties in how the Code would apply to the Fund’s options strategy and hedging strategies, and the application of “straddle” rules, and loss limitation provisions of the Code.

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

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (the "benchmark"). Yield-curve positioning detracted, relative to the benchmark, as losses from overweights to the two- to 20-year parts of the curve were greater than the gain from being overweight to the six-month part of the curve. Security selection among mortgage pass-throughs, treasury futures and government sovereign bonds detracted from performance, while selection within high-yield and investment grade corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") contributed. Country allocation and currency decisions did not impact performance.

 

During the 12-month period, treasury futures were utilized to manage duration, country exposure and yield-curve positioning.

Material Fund Changes 

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund during the reporting period.

The Fund's advisory fee was reduced, effective February 7, 2025, from .33% of the Fund's average daily net assets to .30% of the Fund's average daily net assets, resulting in a reduction in the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses, as set forth in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table in the Fund's prospectus, from .33% to .30%.

During the reporting period, the Fund added the following risk[s] to its Principal Risks as set forth in its prospectus.

  • Sector Risk: The Fund may have more risk because it may invest to a significant extent in one or more particular market sectors, such as the industrials sector. To the extent it does so, market or economic factors affecting the relevant sector(s) could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.

  • Active Trading Risk: The Fund expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities and its portfolio turnover rate may greatly exceed 100%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction costs, which may negatively affect the Fund’s return. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in substantial short-term gains, which may have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.

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, 2025, the Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index (“ACWI”) (the “benchmark”). Security selection was the largest contributor, relative to the benchmark, led by selection within technology, industrials and consumer discretionary; selection within communication services, health care and materials detracted from overall performance. Overall sector allocation contributed to performance. Underweights to financials, consumer discretionary and consumer staples offset losses from an underweight to communication services and overweights to industrials and utilities.

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 outperformed the Bloomberg US Corporate HY 2% Issuer Capped Index (the “benchmark”). Industry allocation was the primary contributor to relative outperformance, from an overweight to banking and consumer cyclical-retailers and underweights to basics and energy. Security selection contributed, as gains from selections in consumer cyclical-retailers, capital goods and consumer non-cyclical were partially offset by losses from energy, basics and services. Yield-curve positioning also contributed, because of an overweight to the six-month part of the curve and an underweight to the 10-year part of the curve that more than offset losses from underweights to the two- and five-year parts of the yield-curve.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund utilized treasury futures to manage duration and yield-curve positioning. 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.

During the 12-month period, the Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index (the "benchmark"). Overall industry allocation and yield-curve positioning were the primary contributors, relative to the benchmark. Overweights to prepay energy and money markets and an underweight to guaranteed contributed, while overweights to public primary/secondary education and mortgage pass-throughs and an underweight to state general obligation detracted from relative performance. Overall security selection detracted from performance. Security selection within senior living, airline Industrial Development Revenue and mortgage pass-throughs could not offset the losses from selection within local general obligation, special tax and miscellaneous revenue.

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund used derivatives in the form of interest rate swaps for hedging purposes, which contributed to performance.

Footnote Description
Footnote*
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.

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 outperformed the FTSE 3-Month US T-Bill Index (the “benchmark”). Sector allocation and security selection contributed, mainly from investment-grade corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. Country and yield-curve positioning also contributed, from overweights on the six-month, and two- and five-year parts of the curve. In addition, the Fund benefited from positive relative returns in both sector and yield-curve exposures, with investment-grade corporates and asset-backed securities providing notable excess returns compared to the benchmark. Currency decisions had no material impact on performance during the period. 

 

During the 12-month period, the Fund used derivatives in the form or currency futures for hedging purposes, which added to overall performance.

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

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Total Return Index (the “benchmark”). Both security and sector selection detracted, relative to the benchmark. Within security selection, positions within Broadcom and Robert Half were the largest detractors, while holdings within United Health Group and Netflix contributed the most. An overweight to real estate and an underweight to technology detracted, while an underweight to industrials and an overweight to energy contributed to overall performance.

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

During the 12-month period, the Fund underperformed the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index (the "benchmark"). Overall security selection was the largest detractor, relative to the benchmark, as a result of selection within health care, communication services and industrials; selection within consumer staples, utilities and financials contributed. An underweight to technology and overweights to financials and health care offset the gains from an overweight to communication services and underweights to consumer discretionary and real estate.

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

During the 12-month period ended November 30, 2025, the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “benchmark”). The Fund's results were primarily impacted by negative security selection across several sectors, which was the leading detractor from performance. While sector allocation contributed positively, it was not sufficient to offset the broader challenges faced during the period. Overall, the Fund’s performance reflected the effects of active management decisions and market conditions across different sectors.
