About GCECX

AB Global Core Equity Portfolio Class C is a mutual fund that employs a fundamental, research-driven strategy to invest in a geographically diverse mix of U.S. and international equities. Its primary objective is long-term capital growth, achieved through a bottom-up approach that focuses on attractively valued companies with sustainable returns on invested capital. The portfolio is relatively concentrated, typically holding between 50 to 80 stocks from a broad universe spanning all sectors, industries, and company sizes, including exposure to both developed and emerging markets. The management team emphasizes superior stock selection, rigorous risk management, and seeks to minimize unintended risk factor exposures, aiming to deliver consistent outcomes across market cycles. The strategy does not favor any particular investment style, sector, or region, and may utilize derivatives for both investment and risk mitigation purposes. The fund represents a high-conviction, global equity solution designed to serve investors seeking diversified equity exposure without bias toward geographic or sectoral trends.
