AllianceBernstein's global research fund will use fundamental and quantitative research to build a diversified portfolio of equity securities seeking consistent returns compared to the general equities market.
Its global disruptors strategy uses both top-down and bottom-up investment processes to select equity securities with long-term growth characteristics, investing in innovation-oriented companies.
Each product offers different ways to access equities, "one focused on consistent, risk-aware alpha and the other on capturing long-term disruptive trends," explained Julie Gunts, head of ETF strategy and partnerships at AllianceBernstein.
