SUMMARY INFORMATION AB FlexFeeTM International Strategic Core Portfolio | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may be required to pay commissions and/or other forms of compensation to a broker for transactions in Advisor Class shares, which are not reflected in the tables or the examples below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Examples | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of these periods. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses stay the same (except for the exclusion of offering costs after the first year) and that any fee waiver and/or expense limitation is in effect through the date indicated above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys or sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal period from Fund inception on June 28, 2017 through December 31, 2017, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, primarily in common stocks of non-U.S. companies, and in companies in at least three countries other than the United States. The Fund will invest in companies that are determined by the Adviser to offer favorable long-term sustainable profitability, price stability, and attractive valuations. The Adviser will employ an integrated approach that combines both fundamental and quantitative research to identify attractive investment opportunities. Factors that the Adviser will consider in this regard will include: a company’s record and projections of profitability, accuracy and availability of information with respect to the company, success and experience of management, competitive advantage, low stock price volatility, and liquidity of the company’s securities. The Adviser will compare these results to the characteristics of the general stock markets to determine the relative attractiveness of each company at a given time. The Adviser will weigh economic, political and market factors in making investment decisions. The Adviser will seek to manage the Fund so that it is subject to less share price volatility than many other international mutual funds, although there can be no guarantee that the Adviser will be successful in this regard. The Fund will primarily invest in mid- and large-capitalization companies, which are currently defined for the Fund as companies that have market capitalizations of $1.5 billion or more. The Fund’s holdings of non-U.S. companies will generally include some companies located in emerging markets. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a dramatic impact on the returns of equity securities. The Adviser may adjust the foreign currency exposure resulting from the Fund’s security positions through the use of currency-related derivatives, primarily in an effort to minimize the currency risk to which the Fund is subject. However, the Adviser is not required to use such derivatives. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPAL RISKS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
BAR CHART AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No performance information is available for the Fund because it has not yet been in operation for a full calendar year. |

Portfolio Turnover | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys or sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 79% of the average value of its portfolio. During the fiscal period from July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will under normal circumstances be invested in securities of emerging market companies and related derivatives. An emerging market country is a country whose per capita gross national income is not classified as “High Income” by the World Bank, that is not a member of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, or that is represented in a MSCI emerging market equity index. Examples of emerging market countries include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, the People’s Republic of China, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Venezuela. Emerging market countries may include countries referred to as “frontier” markets, such as Egypt, Nigeria and Vietnam. In managing the Fund, the Adviser will employ a “bottom up” investment process that focuses on a company’s prospective earnings growth, valuation and business quality. The Adviser will typically look for companies that have strong, experienced management teams and the potential to support greater than expected earnings growth rates, and will combine fundamental and quantitative analyses in its stock selection process. The Adviser will not target any particular country, sector or market capitalization weightings for the Fund. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a dramatic impact on the returns of equity securities. While the Adviser may hedge the foreign currency exposure resulting from the Fund’s security positions through the use of currency-related derivatives, it is not required to do so. The Fund may also take long and short positions in currencies (or related derivatives) independent of any such security positions, including taking a position in a currency when it does not hold any securities traded in that currency. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PRINCIPAL RISKS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

BAR CHART AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The bar chart and performance information provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund by showing:
The Fund’s past performance before and after taxes, of course, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bar Chart | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The annual returns in the bar chart are for the Fund’s Advisor Class shares. In addition, performance information prior to July 1, 2017 does not reflect performance fee adjustments and would have been different if the Fund had been managed under the performance (fulcrum) fee arrangement. Through March 31, 2018, the year-to-date unannualized return for the Fund’s shares was 3.40%. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Calendar Year End (%) During the period shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s: Best Quarter was up 11.35%, 1st quarter, 2017; and Worst Quarter was down -15.35%, 3rd quarter, 2015. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
