AB American Income Portfolio

Strategy

Seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital by:

  • Employing a US dollar-denominated multi-sector bond approach in search of the best opportunities

  • Dynamically balancing credit and duration through investments in high yield and emerging market sectors to enhance income and dampen interest-rate risk, and in high-quality government bonds to alleviate credit risk when markets are stressed

  • Limiting exposure to below investment-grade rated bonds to 50% and avoiding CCC-rated issuers
