Risks To Consider

Investing in ETFs involves risk and there is no guarantee of principal.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully before investing. For copies of our prospectus or summary prospectus, which contain this and other information, visit our Literature Center or contact your AB representative. Please read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

Shares of the ETF may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price on the exchange on which they are listed. The market price of an ETF’s shares may be at, above or below the ETF’s net asset value (“NAV”) and will fluctuate with changes in the NAV as well as supply and demand in the market for the shares. Shares of the ETF may only be redeemed directly with the ETF at NAV by Authorized Participants, in very large creation units. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Fund’s shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling the Fund’s shares on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.

Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be difficult to price or unwind and may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Fund.

Equity Securities Risk: The Fund 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.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may involve more risk than those of U.S. issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be more difficult to trade than domestic securities due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory, or other factors.

Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund may have more risk because it is “non-diversified”, meaning that it can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers. Accordingly, changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either negative or positive, on the Fund’s net asset value.

New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized fund, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision.

Alpha: Is a beta-adjusted measure of return. Positive alpha indicates that an investment portfolio has earned, on average, a premium above what is expected for the level of market variability (beta). A negative alpha indicates that the investment portfolio has, on average, received a premium lower than expected for the level of market variability. 

Beta: A measure of the expected change of a security’s or portfolio’s return relative to that of the market. By definition, the beta of a benchmark index is 1.00. A security with a beta of more than 1.00 tends to rise or fall more than the market; a security with a beta of less than 1.00 tends to rise or fall less.

Prior to close of business on 7/15/2024, the AB International Low Volatility Equity ETF operated as an open-end mutual fund. The Fund has an identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies and investment risk profiles as the predecessor mutual fund. The NAV returns include returns of the Advisor Share Class of the predecessor mutual fund prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations. Performance for the Fund’s shares has not been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s shares’ lower expenses than those of the predecessor mutual fund’s Advisor Share Class. Had the predecessor fund been structured as an exchange-traded fund, its performance may have differed. Please refer to the current prospectus for further information. Prior to 7/15/2024, the Fund was called AB International Low Volatility Equity Portfolio. Data prior to 7/15/2024 relate to AB International Low Volatility Equity Portfolio.
