Objective
The investment seeks long-term capital growth.
The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of issuers in countries that make up the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia and the Far East) and Canada. AllianceBernstein L.P., the Portfolio's investment manager (the "Manager"), diversifies the Portfolio among many foreign countries, but not necessarily in the same proportion that the countries are represented in the MSCI EAFE Index. Under normal circumstances, the Manager will invest in companies in at least three countries (and normally substantially more) other than the United States.
