The rating

Why AB Private Credit Investors LLC has two stars

AB Private Credit runs USD 11 billion of regulatory assets and has been registered with the SEC since 2014. The one matter in its Form ADV concerns another company in its group or an individual, not AB Private Credit Investors itself. Its one rated insurance-dedicated fund has two stars. In that fund little or none of the assets were valued last year by a firm outside the group, and on its own that rules out five stars.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding this manager's funds through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

The record

Regulatory and legal record

What the adviser itself discloses in Item 11 of its Form ADV, summarised from the disclosure pages, with a link to the filing. Item 11 is filed for the adviser as a whole, so under each matter the fund it concerns is read from the disclosure itself.

20122 August 2012

Regulatory action by New York State Department of Financial Services: civil penalty

Fund concerned: none named in the filing. The matter concerns another company in the group, not a specific fund, and none of the insurance-dedicated funds in this file is named.

The new York State Department of Financial Services alleged that Axa equitable life insurance Company violated new York insurance Law Section 4240(e) by filing plans of operation with respect to certain of its separate acccuonts with the new York State insurance Department and new York State Department of Financial Services (collectively, the "Department") without adequately informing and explaining to the Department the significance of the implementation of the Axa tactical manager strategy.

These are the matters AB Private Credit Investors LLC reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 4 September 2026. A reported matter is a fact disclosed by the adviser, not a finding by PPLI.com. None of them concerns the insurance-dedicated funds listed above.
