(a) | Security is exempt from registration under Rule 144A or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered restricted, but liquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. At September 30, 2024, the aggregate market value of these securities amounted to $108,509,707 or 57.2% of net assets. |
(b) | Affiliated investments. |
(c) | The subordinated notes represented are considered equity positions in the securitized vehicle. The securitized equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to senior debt holders and other expenses. The current estimated yield that is disclosed, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions. |
(d) | Fair valued by the Adviser. |
(e) | Security in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value. |
(f) | Floating Rate Security. Stated interest/floor/ceiling rate was in effect at September 30, 2024. |
(g) | IO - Interest Only. |
(h) | This position or a portion of this position represents an unsettled loan purchase. The coupon rate will be determined at the time of settlement and will be based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a premium which was determined at the time of purchase. |
(i) | Non-income producing security. |
(j) | Defaulted matured security. |
(k) | Securities are perpetual and, thus, do not have a predetermined maturity date. The date shown, if applicable, reflects the next call date. |
(l) | As of September 30, 2024, the cost basis of investment securities owned was substantially identical for both book and tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation of investments was $5,835,532 and gross unrealized depreciation of investments was $(3,457,794) resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $2,377,738. |

AB CarVal Credit Opportunities Fund
September 30, 2024 (unaudited)
In accordance with U.S. GAAP regarding fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability (including those valued based on their market values). Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Funds investments in corporate securities and derivatives are primarily valued using Level 2 inputs which generally consist of vendor pricing and multiple broker quotes based on the yield, maturity, credit quality and bids or trading activity in the security or similar securities, thereby demonstrating consensus pricing. Corporate securities valued using Level 1 inputs generally represent an immaterial portion of the investment portfolio; however, they would be valued using the readily available market prices. Inputs from Level 3 are also utilized for corporate securities and derivatives, depending on the information available and characteristics of the asset type. Investments in asset backed, loan portfolios, and special opportunities are valued with Level 3 inputs primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis takes into consideration risk adjusted rates of return as applied to the cash inflows and outflows anticipated in connection with managing and/or disposing each specific investment. This analysis may include factors such as income streams, local market activity, timing, collateral, payment history, comparative sales values, and other similar factors that have or will influence the exit of the investment. However, certain structured credit and special opportunities investments may be valued using a market approach depending on the availability of broker quotes or other information. Further, certain asset backed investments may be valued using Level 2 inputs depending on the information available. All forward foreign currency contracts held at June 30, 2024 were valued using Level 2 inputs which include forward rates.
The Fund may use Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) or other similar vehicles to facilitate its investments in various strategies. The Fund will provide funding to the SPVs in a form of a loan receivable and/or an equity contribution. The SPVs, in turn purchase and own the underlying investment assets. In these instances, the Funds loan receivable and/or equity contributions represent the instrument that is fair valued.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

* | The Market Spreads are compared to related U.S. Treasuries and used to calculate the fair value. |
** | The valuation is based on non-binding broker quotes or market comparables where quantitative inputs are not observable. Broker quotes or market comparables have been reviewed and substantiated by the Adviser and may be adjusted for timing or other market events, if necessary. |
*** | Represents the range of discount rates or spreads that are utilized as an input by the Adviser for purposes of generating a fair value. Weighted average excludes investments that have been marked to zero fair market value, when applicable. |
Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in Discount Rate, Recent Transaction, and Market Spread in isolation would be expected to result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
