Objective

The Portfolio seeks long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of Japanese companies that are considered by the Investment Manager to be undervalued. The Investment Manager’s fundamental value approach seeks to identify securities that are attractively priced relative to their future earnings power. The Portfolio will typically invest in a portfolio of approximately 30- 50 companies.

Investment Risks to Consider

These and other risks are described in the Portfolio's prospectus

  • Country Risk in Japan: Investments in issuers located in Japan may have more market, political and economic risks because of particular factors affecting that country.

  • Derivatives Risk: The Portfolio is entitled to use derivative instruments for hedging and/or EPM purposes which may involve additional risks different from, and, in certain cases, greater than, the risks presented by more traditional investments.

  • Equity Securities Risk: The value of underlying equity investments of the Portfolio may fluctuate in response to the activities and results of individual companies, or because of general market and economic conditions and changes in currency exchange rates.

  • Focused Portfolio Risk: The Portfolio may invest in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors or countries and may therefore be subject to greater volatility than a portfolio invested in a larger or more diverse array of securities. Such concentration could expose such investors to losses disproportionate to market movements in general if there are disproportionately greater adverse price movements in securities in which the Portfolio is invested.

  • Liquidity Risk: The risk that arises when adverse market conditions affect the ability to sell assets when necessary. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets.

Fund Literature

The Portfolio is denominated in Japanese Yen. Non-Yen based investors may therefore be subject to the risk of an unfavorable change in the rate of exchange between the Yen and the relevant currency.

Investment in the Fund entails certain risks. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of an investment in the Fund can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount invested. This information is directed solely at persons in jurisdictions where the funds and relevant share class are registered or who may otherwise lawfully receive it. Before investing in AllianceBernstein funds, investors should review the fund’s full prospectus, together with the fund’s Product Highlights Sheet and the most recent financial statements. Copies of these documents, including the latest annual report and, if issued thereafter, the latest semi-annual report, may be obtained free of charge from www.abfunds.com / www.alliancebernstein.com or by contacting the local distributor in the jurisdictions in which the funds are authorized for distribution.

The Portfolio is part of AB FCP I (referred to as “AB”). AB is a mutual investment fund (fonds commun de placement) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The Portfolio is entitled to use financial derivative instruments for hedging and/or EPM purposes which may involve additional risks different from, and, in certain cases, greater than, the risks presented by more traditional investments.

Dividends are not paid for all share classes and are not guaranteed.

Please note that dividend distribution is at the discretion of The management company and subject to the dividend policy referred in the Singapore Offering Document. It is dependent on prevailing market conditions and the income generated by the underlying securities of the fund. Any payments of distributions by the portfolio may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share/unit. A high distribution yield does not imply a high return on the fund. Investors should not make any investment decision solely based on dividend information provided.

Currency-hedged share classes (indicated above by a currency denomination and an “H” in the Class name) use hedging techniques in an attempt to reduce—but not eliminate—fluctuations between the investor’s holdings in a particular currency-hedged share class denominated in the investor’s investing currency and the portfolio’s base currency. The goal is to deliver returns that track the portfolio’s base currency returns more closely. 

AllianceBernstein funds are offered only by the offering document with respect to each fund. The sale of shares of AB funds may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. In particular, shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to U.S. persons, as is more fully described in the Offering Document with respect to each Fund. Shares of AB funds are offered only pursuant to the Fund’s current Offering Document together with the most recent financial statements. The information on this page is for information purposes only and should not be construed as an offer to sell, or solicitation to buy, or a recommendation for the securities of any AB fund.
