The portfolio’s investment objective is to offer a low-risk, liquid, and yield-driven solution by investing in sterling-denominated money market and fixed income instruments. The portfolio comprises, through Collective Investment Schemes, short duration Investment quality credit, short-dated Government bonds issued by UK and other developed market governments and money market instruments, such as overnight deposits.
 

The AB Defensive Income portfolio is the lowest risk portfolio offered by Alpha Beta Partners but is not entirely risk-free.
