About ASCLX
AB Select US Long/Short Portfolio Class C is a diversified mutual fund employing a long/short equity strategy focused on the US market. Its core purpose is to balance long-term growth prospects with near-term market risks by taking both long and short positions in publicly traded US equities, as well as holding cash and cash equivalents as needed. Leveraging deep fundamental research and market insights, the fund adjusts its net equity exposure dynamically, typically maintaining between 30% and 70%, but with flexibility to range from 5% up to 95%, enabling it to respond defensively in volatile market environments or capitalize on upside opportunities. The portfolio is unconstrained by stock size or style and is generally biased toward liquid investments. Notable holdings include major technology firms and a significant allocation to money market instruments, reflecting its risk management stance. As part of the long-short equity category, its active trading and tactical asset allocation seek to mitigate downside risk while pursuing competitive returns, serving as a potential diversifier within an investor’s broader portfolio.
