AB Emerging Markets Strategic Core Equities Fund
Overview
Objective
The AB Emerging Markets Strategic Core Equities Fund ("Fund") aims to achieve returns in excess of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in Australian dollars, after fees, over the medium to long term. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve this objective or produce any positive returns.
Investment Strategy
The AB Emerging Markets Strategic Core Equities Fund is designed for equity investors who have a high risk and return profile and are seeking an investment in a portfolio of emerging markets equities, which offer the potential for long-term capital growth with lower volatility than is typical for investments in emerging markets equities.
The Fund aims to achieve its investment objective by investing in equities anywhere in the world including emerging markets. The Fund will principally be comprised of equity securities of companies considered by the investment manager that are high quality, have low volatility and reasonable valuations and offer attractive shareholder returns.
The Fund does not usually hedge the foreign currency exposures of its equity securities to Australian dollars but the investment manager has the discretion to determine the extent to which any foreign currency exposure is increased, reduced or removed. For example, the Fund may hedge all or part of its currency exposure to Australian dollars or provide currency exposures greater than that provided by the underlying equity exposure.
The Fund may also invest in securities and financial products, including but not limited to common and preferred stocks (including American Depository Receipts and Global Depository Receipts), currency spot and forwards contracts, stock index futures, stock options, exchange traded funds (ETFs), warrants, rights, initial public offerings and private placements, including new issues and secondary offerings, securities convertible into common stock, participation notes and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
Derivatives may be used to hedge risks or to more efficiently gain an economic exposure to the underlying assets (such as investing cash, managing volatility and gaining or reducing investment exposures). Derivatives will not be used for leverage or gearing purposes or to achieve a synthetic exposure to equities outside of the investment universe.
