ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN MARKET NEUTRAL STRATEGY - U.S. CLASS K (AMUKX) Exchange: NMFQS

DELISTED - The Strategy seeks to limit market risk by balancing "long" and "short" positions. To do this, the Strategy will buy, or take long positions in, equity securities of U.S. companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued and more likely to appreciate and, at the same time, sell, or take short positions in, equity securities that the Adviser believes are overvalued and more likely to depreciate. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, that invest primarily in equity securities. The Strategy will be highly diversified and may invest across different industries, sectors and regions. While the Strategy will not target issuers of a particular size, most issuers will have larger capitalizations.The Strategy intends to maintain approximately equal dollar exposures invested in long and short positions under normal circumstances. The Strategy will generally be highly leveraged, with aggregate exposure (long and short) substantially in excess of its net assets. In general, leverage will increase in times of relatively low market volatility and decrease in times of higher market volatility, thereby maintaining a relatively constant risk level for the Strategy.By employing this long/short market neutral investment strategy, the Strategy seeks to limit its volatility relative to movements in the overall stock market and limit downside risk during market declines. The Strategy may achieve a gain if the securities in its long portfolio outperform the securities in its short portfolio, each taken as a whole. Conversely, it is expected that the Strategy will incur a loss if the securities in its short portfolio outperform the securities in its long portfolio. The Adviser attempts to achieve returns for the Strategy that exceed the return on short-term fixed-income securities.The Strategy's exposures may be achieved primarily or entirely through the use of derivatives, such as swaps, options, futures and forwards. For example, the Strategy may achieve long or short exposure to a particular equity security through a swap relating to that security. Derivatives may provide more efficient and economical, as well as significantly larger, exposure to equity markets than is possible through direct long investments or short selling. The Adviser will consider the impact of derivatives in making its assessments of the Strategy's risks. The resulting exposures to markets, sectors, regions, issuers or specific securities will be continuously monitored by the Adviser.The Adviser selects securities for purchase or sale using both its own fundamental research and proprietary quantitative models. These models seek to assess the risk and return characteristics of the securities the Strategy will buy and sell and the impact those securities will have on the risk and return characteristics of the Strategy's portfolio overall, taking into account various factors such as relative return trends (or momentum) and price-to-book values. The Adviser then evaluates these results in light of data concerning an issuer's fundamentals and trading considerations.The Strategy expects to engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction expenses, which may negatively affect the Strategy's performance. High portfolio turnover also may result in the realization of substantial net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders.
