Principal investment strategy

The Portfolios assets normally are allocated between two or more investment managers, each of which will manage its portion of the Portfolio using a different but complementary investment strategy. One portion of the Portfolio is actively managed (Active Allocated Portion); the other portion of the Portfolio seeks to track the performance of a particular index or indices (Index Allocated Portion). Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. This Portfolios investments in equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, depositary receipts, and other equity securities, and financial instruments that derive their value from such securities. The Active Allocated Portion consists of approximately 30% of the Portfolios net assets and the Index Allocated Portion consists of approximately 70% of the Portfolios net assets.

These percentages are targets established by the Adviser; actual allocations may deviate from these targets. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of foreign companies, including emerging market equity securities. The Portfolio also may invest in equity securities of issuers located in North America and other developed countries. For this Portfolio, an emerging market country is any country that the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (commonly known as The World Bank) or similar major financial institution has determined to have a low or middle economy, or countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MSCI EM). In addition, for this Portfolio, an emerging market country security is defined as a security of an issuer having one or more of the following characteristics: its principal securities trading market is in an emerging market or developing country; alone or on a consolidated basis, at least 50% of its annual revenues or profits are derived from goods produced, sales made or services performed in an emerging market country or developing country or has at least 50% of its assets in emerging markets countries; or it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, an emerging market or developing country.

The Active Allocated Portion invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies that, in the view of the Sub-Advisers, have good prospects for future growth. Other factors, such as country and regional factors, are considered by the Sub-Advisers. The Active Allocated Portions Sub-Advisers may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to make other investments believed by a Sub-Adviser to offer superior investment opportunities. The Active Allocated Portions investment process takes into account information about environmental, social and governance issues (also referred to as ESG) when making investment decisions. The Sub-Adviser focuses on engaging company management around corporate governance practices as well as what the Sub-Adviser deems to be materially important environmental and/or social issues facing a company.

The Index Allocated Portion of the Portfolio is comprised of three strategies, which seek to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Index (the S&P 500), the MSCI EAFE Index (MSCI EAFE), and the MSCI EM, respectively, each with minimal tracking error. The Index Allocated Portions assets will be allocated in approximately the following manner: 30-50% in each of the S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE and 10-30% in the MSCI EM. Each such strategy is commonly referred to as an indexing strategy. Generally, each portion of the Index Allocated Portion uses a full replication technique, although in certain instances a sampling approach may be utilized for a portion of the Index Allocated Portion. Each portion of the Index Allocated Portion also may invest in other instruments, such as futures and options contracts, that provide comparable exposure as the index without buying the underlying securities comprising the index.

AXA Equitable Funds Management Group, LLC (FMG LLC or the Adviser) also may utilize futures and options, such as exchange-traded futures and options contracts on securities indices, to manage equity exposure. Futures and options can provide exposure to the performance of a securities index without buying the underlying securities comprising the index. They also provide a means to manage the Portfolios equity exposure without having to buy or sell securities. When market volatility is increasing above specific thresholds set for the Portfolio, the Adviser may limit equity exposure either by reducing investments in securities, shorting or selling long futures and options positions on an index, increasing cash levels, and/or shorting an index. During such times, the Portfolios exposure to equity securities may be significantly less than that of a traditional equity portfolio.

Volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of changes in the Portfolios returns, without regard to the direction of those changes. Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk and is often reflected by frequent and sometimes significant movements up and down in value. Volatility management techniques may reduce potential losses and/or mitigate financial risks to insurance companies that provide certain benefits and guarantees available under the Contracts and offer the Portfolio as an investment option in their products. The Portfolio may invest up to 25% of its assets in derivatives. It is anticipated that the Portfolios derivative instruments will consist primarily of exchange-traded futures and options contracts on securities indices, but the Portfolio also may utilize other types of derivatives.

The Portfolios investments in derivatives may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the Portfolio is not required to invest the full market value of the contract upon entering into the contract but participates in gains and losses on the full contract price. The use of derivatives also may be deemed to involve the use of leverage because the heightened price sensitivity of some derivatives to market changes may magnify the Portfolios gain or loss. The Portfolio may maintain a significant percentage of its assets in cash and cash equivalent instruments, some of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Portfolios obligations under derivative transactions. The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.
