Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in, or derive at least 80% of its income from, municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from regular Federal income tax, but may, in certain instances, subject you to Federal alternative minimum tax. Municipal securities are debt obligations generally issued by a state, territory or possession of the United States (including the District of Columbia) or a political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of public facilities. The Portfolio may invest, without limitation, in municipal securities that pay interest that may subject you to Federal alternative minimum tax. The Federal alternative minimum tax is a Federal income tax imposed on non‑corporate taxpayers calculated separately from the regularFederal income tax. It is designed to prevent non‑corporate taxpayers from using certain deductions and credits (called tax‑preference items) to pay little or no taxes. Certain private activity bonds pay interest that may be treated as a tax‑preference item under the Federal alternative minimum tax. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in private activity bonds, a portion of the Portfolio’s dividends may be subject to Federal income tax for shareholders subject to Federal alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio will generally invest in municipal securities rated BB or below or Ba or below (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) by NRSROs designated by AllianceBernstein, L.P. (“AllianceBernstein” or the “Sub‑Advisor”), medium quality securities rated BBB or Baa by a NRSRO, or upper medium quality securities rated A by a NRSRO or unrated but determined to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. There is no minimum rating for a municipal security held by the Portfolio, and the Portfolio may purchase securities that are in default. Some of the securities in which the Portfolio will invest may have credit and liquidity support features, including guarantees and letters of credit. In seeking to achieve its objective, the Portfolio may forego opportunities that would result in capital gains and may accept prudent risks to capital value, in each case to take advantage of opportunities for higher current income. The Portfolio does not have any portfolio maturity limitations and may invest its assets in instruments with short, medium and long maturities.
The Sub‑Advisor seeks to purchase attractively priced securities that it considers to represent good, long-term investment opportunities. The Sub‑Advisor analyzes various factors to help identify securities, which may include the credit strength of the issuer, prices of similar securities issued by comparable issuers, anticipated changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other factors pertinent to the particular security being evaluated. A security may be sold when the Sub‑Advisor believes that it no longer represents a relatively attractive investment opportunity. The Sub‑Advisor may invest in derivative instruments, such as swaps, for hedging or risk management purposes, or as a part of the Portfolio’s investment strategy.

The Blended Index is comprised of two benchmarks, weighted 75% Bloomberg Muni High Yield 5% Tobacco Cap 2% Issuer Cap Index and 25% Bloomberg Municipal Index. The Advisor and Sub‑Advisor believe that, given the Portfolio’s investment strategy, the Blended Index provides a more appropriate basis for performance comparison with the Portfolio because it has characteristics more similar to the Portfolio’s investment style than the Bloomberg Muni High Yield 5% Tobacco Cap 2% Issuer Cap Index alone. The Blended Index commenced operations on January 1, 2017 and does not have available returns for the five years and since inception periods.
