AB Investing internationally offers the potential for both superior returns and better portfolio diversification, but also poses many more challenges than investing domestically. To be successful, managers need to comprehensively evaluate the investment universe, diversify across sources of outperformance, analyze and manage portfolio risk, and incorporate implementation costs into the portfolio management process. We believe enhanced index management, a systematic approach with a goal of modest, consistent outperformance within well-monitored risk guidelines, is well-suited for international investing.
