This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since December 1, 2024. For more complete information, you may review the Fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available on or about March 31, 2026 at www.abfunds.com/go/prospectus, or upon request at (800) 243-5994. During the reporting period, the Fund added the following risk to its Principal Risks as set forth in its prospectus. Capital Gain Risk: As of the date of the Fund's Prospectus, a substantial portion of the Fund's net asset value is attributable to realized and/or net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses in any fiscal year, it generally expects to make capital gain distributions to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation of portfolio securities that happened before you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you even though they economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. You should consult your tax professional about your investment in the Fund.

| Material Fund Change [Text Block] |
This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since December 1, 2024. For more complete information, you may review the Fund's next prospectus, which we expect to be available on or about March 31, 2026 at www.abfunds.com/go/prospectus, or upon request at (800) 243-5994. During the reporting period, the Fund added the following risk to its Principal Risks as set forth in its prospectus. Capital Gain Risk: As of the date of the Fund's Prospectus, a substantial portion of the Fund's net asset value is attributable to realized and/or net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Fund realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses in any fiscal year, it generally expects to make capital gain distributions to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation of portfolio securities that happened before you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you even though they economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. You should consult your tax professional about your investment in the Fund.
