LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS AXA/AB Investments

October 25, 2019

Dear Shareholder,

This report provides management’s discussion of fund perform-ance for AXA/AB Investments (the “Fund”) for the semi-annualreporting period ended September 30, 2019.

US and international equity markets rose while emerging marketsdeclined during the six-month period ended September 30, 2019.After an extended period of heightened volatility driven by tariffescalations between the US and China, a slowdown in globalgrowth due to a downturn in the Chinese economy, and height-ened geopolitical pressures, US and international markets turnedsomewhat calmer. Investors responded positively to news about apossible trade dispute resolution and widespread monetary easingby the world’s central banks.

Equity markets rallied at the end of the period after the announce-ment of a new round of high-level US-China trade negotiationsscheduled for October. In the US, the rally was accompanied by asharp style rotation as quality-growth and lower-volatility stocks,which had performed strongly earlier in the year, lagged andvalue stocks outperformed.

Fixed-income markets performed strongly during the period.Long-dated developed-market treasury securities and emerging-market sovereign debt were strong performers, given theirinterest-rate sensitivity. Investment-grade corporate bond returnswere also robust, and spreads remained near historical lows, out-performing high-yield bonds.

After holding rates steady in early 2019, the US Federal Reservelowered interest rates in July and September. The European Cen-tral Bank followed suit in September by cutting rates to a recordlow and announcing the resumption of quantitative easing. Cen-tral bankers in numerous other developed and emerging marketsalso lowered interest rates and signaled further monetary easingand potential fiscal stimulus measures to boost faltering demand.

We appreciate your investment in the Fund.

Sincerely,

AllianceBernstein (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., the managementcompany of the Fund (the “Management Company”)

NOTE B: Significant Accounting PoliciesThe Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance withLuxembourg legal and regulatory requirements. The following isa summary of significant accounting policies followed by thePortfolios.

1. Valuation1.1 Investments in SecuritiesSecurities listed on a stock exchange or traded on any other regu-lated market are valued at the last available price on suchexchange or market or, if no such price is available, at the meanof the closing bid and asked price quoted on such day. If a secu-rity is listed on several stock exchanges or markets, the last avail-able price on the stock exchange or market which constitutes themain market for such security is used.

Securities are valued at their current market value determined onthe basis of market quotations or, if market quotations are not read-ily available or are deemed unreliable, at “fair value” as determinedin accordance with procedures established by, and under the gen-eral supervision of, the board of managers of AllianceBernstein(Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (the “Management Company”) and theFund’s board of directors. Fair valuation procedures are designed toadjust closing market prices of portfolio securities to reflect what isbelieved to be the fair value of those securities at the Portfolio’sValuation Point.

When fair valuation procedures are employed with respect to a par-ticular Portfolio’s security, various objective and subjective factorsmay be considered, including, among other things, developmentsaffecting the security or involving an entire market since the secur-ity’s latest reported price, current valuations of relevant stockindices or pronouncements of certain governmental authorities. Fairvalue prices based on third party vendor modeling tools may beutilized to the extent available. Therefore, when fair valuation

procedures are employed, the prices of an individual Portfolio secu-rities utilized to calculate the Portfolio’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”)may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.Currently, fair value adjustments are only applicable to certainequity securities and futures contracts.

Accordingly, as may also be the case with a previously reportedstock exchange price, the price of any Portfolio’s securitydetermined utilizing fair value pricing procedures may be materi-ally different from the price to be realized upon the sale of suchsecurity.

For securities primarily traded on U.S. exchanges, it is expectedthat fair value pricing procedures are employed only under verylimited circumstances such as, for example, the early closing ofan exchange on which a particular security is traded or thesuspension of trading in a particular security. However, it isanticipated that fair value pricing procedures will be utilized fre-quently for securities traded on non-U.S. exchanges or othermarkets, particularly European and Asian markets, because,among other reasons, these markets close well before the Portfo-lio’s Valuation Point. Between the close of these markets and therelevant Portfolio’s Valuation Point, significant events includingbroad market moves may occur. In particular, events in the U.S.market on a trading day after the close of these other markets mayaffect the value of the Portfolio’s securities.

Fixed-income securities are valued at the most recent bid priceprovided by the principal market makers. If there is no suchmarket price, or if such market price is not representative of asecurity’s fair market value, then the security is valued in amanner determined to reflect its fair value in accordance withprocedures established by, and under the general supervision of,the Management Company’s Board of Managers and the Board ofDirectors.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) AXA/AB Investments

U.S. Government securities and any other debt instruments hav-ing 60 days or less remaining until maturity are generally valuedat market by an independent pricing vendor if a market price isavailable. If a market price is not available, the securities arevalued at amortized cost. This methodology is commonly used forshort-term securities that have an original maturity of 60 days orless, as well as short-term securities that had an original term tomaturity that exceeded 60 days. In instances when amortized costis utilized, the valuation committee (the “Committee”) must rea-sonably conclude that the utilization of amortized cost is approx-imately the same as the fair value of the security. Such factors theCommittee will consider include, but are not limited to, animpairment of the creditworthiness of the issuer or materialchanges in interest rates.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps and other financial derivativeinstruments are valued at their fair value, daily, primarily usingindependent pricing services, independent pricing models usingmarket inputs, as well as third party broker-dealers or counter-parties.

1.2 Warrant ValuationA listed warrant is valued at the last traded price provided byapproved vendors. If there has been no sale on the relevant businessday, the warrant is valued at the last traded price from the previousday. On the following days, the security is valued in good faith atfair value. All unlisted warrants are valued in good faith at fairvalue. Once a warrant has expired, it will no longer be valued.

1.3 Financial Futures ContractsInitial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures con-tracts. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in thevalue of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by“marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value ofthe contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation marginpayments are made or received, depending upon whether unreal-ized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, arealized gain or loss is recorded. This realized gain or loss is equalto the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closingtransaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract.

Open listed futures contracts are valued using the closing settle-ment price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recentquoted bid price. If there are no quotations available for the dayof valuation, the last available closing settlement price is used.

1.4 Forward Foreign Currency ContractsThe unrealized gain or loss on open forward foreign currencycontracts is calculated as the difference between the contractedrate and the rate to close out the contract. Realized profit or lossincludes net gains or losses on forward foreign currency contractswhich have been settled or offset by other contracts with the samecounterparty.

1.5 Options Purchased and Options WrittenWhen an option is purchased, an amount equal to the premiumpaid is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted tothe current market value of the option purchased. Premiums paidfor the purchase of options which expire unexercised are treatedon the expiration date as realized losses. If a purchased put optionis exercised, the premium is subtracted from the proceeds of thesale of the underlying security or foreign currency in determining

whether the relevant Portfolio has realized a gain or loss. If apurchased call option is exercised, the premium increases the costbasis of the security or foreign currency purchased by the relevantPortfolio. When an option is written, an amount equal to thepremium received by the relevant Portfolio is recorded as aliability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market valueof the option written. Premiums received from written optionswhich expire unexercised are treated by the relevant Portfolio onthe expiration date as realized gains. If a written call option isexercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale ofthe underlying security or foreign currency in determiningwhether the relevant Portfolio has realized a gain or a loss. If awritten put option is exercised, the premium reduces the costbasis of the security or foreign currency purchased by the relevantPortfolio. Listed put or call options purchased by a Portfolio arevalued at the last sale price. If there has been no sale on that day,such securities will be valued at the closing bid prices on that day.

1.6 Investments in other Undertakings for CollectiveInvestments (“UCIs”)Investments in other UCIs are valued at the last available net assetvalue for the UCI in question.

1.7 Swap AgreementsThe Portfolios accrue for interim payments on swap contracts ona daily basis, within income and expenses. Swap contracts aremarked to market on a daily basis with fluctuations in valuerecorded in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps in theStatement of Assets and Liabilities and change in unrealized gainsand losses on swaps in the Statement of Operations and Changesin Net Assets. Once a swap contract has matured or is sold, thenet amount is recorded as a part of “Realized gains and (losses)on investments, forward foreign currency contracts, swaps, finan-cial futures contracts, options and currency” in the Statement ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets. The upfront premiumspaid or received are recognized as cost or proceeds on the State-ment of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized on a straight-linebasis over the life of the contract. Accruals of amortized upfrontpremiums on credit default swaps are included in swap incomeuntil the position is sold, thereafter the amortized upfront pre-miums are included in net realized gains and (losses) from swaps.On all other swap types the amortized upfront premiums areincluded within net realized gains and (losses) from swaps.

Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded as a compo-nent of “Changes in unrealized gains and (losses) on swaps” in theStatement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

“Upfront premiums paid (received) on swap contracts” disclosedin the Statements of Assets and Liabilities include premiums paid(received) on the OTC credit default swaps and a margin that isyet to be settled on the centrally cleared credit default swaps.

2. Organization ExpensesThe organization expenses for all Portfolios were fully amortizedin prior years.

3. Allocation MethodIncome and expenses (except for class specific fees), realized andunrealized gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis by eachclass’ value of their proportionate shares outstanding.

AXA/AB Investments

4. Currency TranslationValues expressed in a currency, other than the currency in whicha Portfolio is denominated, are translated at the average of the lastavailable buying and selling price.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currencyof each Portfolio at the exchange rate ruling at the date of thetransactions.

The Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities is presented inEuro at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the CombinedStatement of Assets and Liabilities, while the Combined State-ment of Operations and Changes in Net Assets is presented inEuro at the average exchange rates ruling during the period.

Exchange rates applied in the financial statements are: spot rate1.1278 and average rate 1.1263 for GBP to EUR.

The “Currency translation adjustment” presented in the CombinedStatement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets is the resultof the difference in exchange rates used to translate combined net

assets at the beginning of the year, the Combined Statement ofAssets and Liabilities and the Combined Statement of Operationsand Changes in Net Assets.

5. Investment Income and Investment TransactionsDividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interestincome is accrued daily. Investment gains and losses for the Port-folios are determined on an average cost basis. The Fund accretesdiscounts and amortizes premiums as adjustments, if applicable,to interest income. Investment transactions are recorded on tradedate plus one day.

6. EstimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with account-ing principles generally accepted in Luxembourg requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect thereported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of con-tingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statementsand the reported amounts of income and expenses during thereporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE C: TaxesAs a Luxembourg société d’investissement à capital variable(SICAV), the Fund is not subject, under present tax laws, toincome, withholding or capital gains taxes in Luxembourg. TheFund is subject to the Luxembourg taxe d’abonnement at the rateof 0.05% per annum calculated and payable quarterly, on theaggregate total net assets on the last day of each calendar quarter.

Theentitlements of each participating Portfolio to the co-managedassets apply to each and every line of investments of such pool.

Additional investments made on behalf of the co-managed Portfo-lios shall be allotted to such Portfolios in accordance with theirrespective attributable to each participating Portfolio.
