Investors should consider the investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Investing involves risk. The market values of the
portfolio's holdings rise and fall from day to day, so
investments may lose value. Morningstar ratings are
specific metrics of performance and do not represent
absolute performance of any fund.
For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based
on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that
accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance,
placing more emphasis on downward variations and
rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of
funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5%
receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next
22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1
star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one
fund within this scale and rated separately, which may
cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)
The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived

from a weighted average of the performance figures
associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

AB Income Fund was rated 5 stars against 851, 750 and
538 funds in the category for the three-, five- and 10-year
