AllianceBernstein to Liquidate International Growth ETF (IGGY) in January

AllianceBernstein has announced plans to liquidate the AB International Growth ETF (IGGY), with the closure expected on January 13, 2027, following board approval. The actively managed fund will cease trading on NYSE Arca and stop accepting creation and redemption orders after the market close on January 8, 2027. Ahead of the liquidation, the ETF may begin selling portfolio holdings and increasing cash positions, potentially departing from its stated investment strategy. Investors can sell their shares on the exchange until the final trading date, while remaining shareholders will have their holdings automatically redeemed at the fund's final net asset value on January 13. Cash proceeds are expected to be distributed on January 14, 2027, with potential tax implications for investors.
