Attribution

1 Year vs. MSCI World

Past performance and current analysis do not guarantee future results. Performance is gross of fees. Based on the AB’s Low Volatility Equity Portfolio. This is supplemental information to the GIPS-compliant performance and disclosure page. Numbers

may not sum due to rounding. The returns presented above are gross of fees. The results do not reflect the deduction of investment-management fees; the client’s return will be

reduced by the management fees and any other expenses incurred in the management of its account. For example, a US$100 million account paying a 0.50% annual fee with a

given rate of 10% compounded over a 10-year period would result in a net-of-fee return of 9.5%. Investment advisory fees are described in Part 2A of AB’s Form ADV.

A Word About Risk

Investment in the Fund entails certain risks. Investment returns and principal value of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may

be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund is meant as a vehicle for diversification and does not represent a complete investment program. Some of

the principal risks of investing in the Fund include emerging-market risk, portfolio turnover risk, smaller capitalisation companies risk, derivatives risk, OTC

derivatives counterparties risk and equity securities risk. These and other risks are described in the Fund’s prospectus. Prospective investors should read the

prospectus carefully and discuss risk and the Fund’s fees and charges with their financial adviser to determine if the investment is appropriate for them.

This information is directed at Investment Professionals only and should not be relied upon by any other persons. It is provided for informational purposes only

and is not intended to be an offer or solicitation, or the basis for any contract to purchase or sell any security, product or other instrument, or to enter into any type

of transaction as a consequence of any information contained herein. The views and opinions expressed in this document are based on our internal forecasts and

should not be relied upon as an indication of future market performance.

References to specific securities are presented to illustrate the application of our investment philosophy only and are not to be considered recommendations by

AB. The specific securities identified and described in this presentation do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for the portfolio, and

it should not be assumed that investments in the securities identified were or will be profitable.

The value of an investment in the Fund can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the full amount they invested. Before investing in

the Fund, investors should review the Fund’s full prospectus, together with the Fund’s Key Investor Information Document and the most recent

financial statements. Copies of these documents, including the latest annual report and, if issued thereafter, the latest semiannual report, may be

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-

Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), 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.) For the three-year period, the Fund was rated 5 stars against 2,771 funds in the category. Morningstar Rating is for the I and

A Share Classes.
