Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges and expenses of the Fund/Portfolio carefully
before investing. For copies of our prospectus and/or
summary prospectus, which contain this and other
information, visit us online at abfunds.com or contact your
AB representative. Please read the prospectus and/or
summary prospectus carefully before investing.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investing
involves risk. The market values of the portfolio's holdings rise and
fall from day to day, so investments may lose value. Morningstar
ratings are specific metrics of performance and do not represent
absolute performance of any fund.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar
calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar RiskAdjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's
monthly performance, placing more emphasis on downward
variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of
funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4
stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars
and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may
cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall
Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of

the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year
(if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
