C000027915 Investment Objective and Strategy
Ab Relative Value Fund, Inc. describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Ab Relative Value Fund, Inc..
Investment objective
The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
"The Fund invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued. The Adviser believes that, over time, a company's stock price will come to reflect its intrinsic economic value. The Fund may invest in companies of any size and in any industry. The Adviser depends heavily upon the fundamental analysis and research of its large internal research staff in making investment decisions for the Fund. In determining a company's intrinsic economic value, the Adviser takes into account many fundamental and financial factors that it believes bear on the company's ability to perform in the future, including earnings growth, prospective cash flows, dividend growth and growth in book value. The Adviser then ranks each of the companies in its research universe in the relative order of disparity between their intrinsic economic values and their current stock prices, with companies with the greatest disparities receiving the highest rankings (i.e., being considered the most undervalued).
The Adviser anticipates that the Fund's portfolio normally will include companies ranking in the top three deciles of the Adviser's valuation model. The Adviser recognizes that the perception of what is a ""value"" stock is relative and the factors considered in determining whether a stock is a ""value"" stock may, and often will, have differing relative significance in different phases of an economic cycle. Also, at different times, and as a result of how individual companies are valued in the market, the Fund may be attracted to investments in companies with different market capitalizations (i.e., large-, mid- or small-capitalization) or companies engaged in particular types of business (e.g., banks and other financial institutions), although the Fund does not intend to concentrate in any particular industries or businesses.
The Fund's portfolio emphasis upon particular industries or sectors will be a by-product of the stock selection process rather than the result of assigned targets or ranges. The Fund may enter into derivatives transactions, such as options, futures contracts, forwards, and swaps. The Fund may use options strategies involving the purchase and/or writing of various combinations of call and/or put options, including on individual securities and stock indices, futures contracts (including futures contracts on individual securities and stock indices) or shares of exchange-traded funds (""ETFs""). These transactions may be used, for example, in an effort to earn extra income, to adjust exposure to individual securities or markets, or to protect all or a portion of the Fund's portfolio from a decline in value, sometimes within certain ranges.
The Fund may, at times, invest in shares of ETFs in lieu of making direct investments in equity securities. ETFs may provide more efficient and economical exposure to the type of companies and geographic locations in which the Fund seeks to invest than direct investments."
