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 Portfolio is the lowest-risk portfolio offered by Alpha Beta Partners but is not entirely risk-free.
