Dear Stockholders:
The Boards of Directors/Trustees ("Directors"(the "Directors") of the AllianceBernstein
Funds listed in the accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(each, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds") are pleased to invite you to
the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on
November 15,
2005.5, 2010. The accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement present several Proposalsproposals to be considered at
the Meeting.
At the Meeting, stockholders or shareholders (the "stockholders") of each Fund
will be asked to elect Directors of that Fund. We are also asking that you
approve Proposals, as explained in the attached Proxy Statement, that are
intended to update and standardize the governing documents and fundamental
investment policies of some or all of the Funds, as applicable. We believe that
uniform Fund governing documents and fundamental policies will result in
substantial benefits for each Fund and its stockholders. Many of the Funds were
organized before the early 1990's. The governing documents and fundamental
policies of many of these Funds impose restrictions that can be traced back to
requirements that are no longer applicable. These restrictions can limit a
Fund's flexibility to act efficiently.
The stockholders of many of thecertain
Funds are also being asked to approve making a
Funds'one or more proposals specific to these
Funds, as explained in the attached Proxy Statement. These proposals include
amendments to the investment objective "non-fundamental"advisory agreements of certain Funds, updating and

approve changes to a Fund's investment objective. As non-fundamentalamending fundamental
commodities policies of certain Funds, and reclassifying the Fund's investment
objectives can be changed in the future without the need
for the delay or expense of a stockholder vote.
We do not expect that the approval of the Proposals will significantly change
the way thecertain Funds are managed.as non-fundamental. We believe it likely that implementation of these
Proposals alsoamendments will result in decreased costs.benefit each Fund and its stockholders.
The Directors have concluded that the Proposalsproposals are in the best interests of
each Fund and unanimously recommend that you vote "FOR" each of the Proposalsproposals
that apply to the Fund or Funds in which you hold shares.
We welcome your attendance at the Meeting. If you are unable to attend, we
encourage you to vote by proxy promptly. ___________,proxy. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
THE ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN FUNDS
PROXY
Q. WHY DID YOU SEND ME THIS BOOKLET?
A. This booklet contains the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders
("Notice"(the "Notice") and Proxy Statement that provides you with information you
should review before voting on the Proposalsproposals that will be presented at the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") for the AllianceBernstein
Funds listed in the accompanying Noticenotice (each, a "Fund" and, collectively,
the "Funds"). You are receiving these proxy materials because you either own
shares of a Fund's stock or shares of beneficial interest in a Fund (we
refer to both as "shares" and to the holders of shares as "stockholders").
As a stockholder, you have the right to vote for the election of Directors
or Trustees of a Fund and on the various proposals concerning your
investment in a Fund.
Q. WHO IS ASKING FOR MY VOTE?
A. The Board of Directors/Trustees of a Fund (each, a "Board" and, collectively
the "Boards") is asking you to vote at the Meeting. In this Proxy Statement,
we will refer to both Directors and Trustees, individually, as a "Director"
or, collectively, as the "Directors." Those
ProposalsDetails regarding the proposals are
further explained in the Proxy Statement. A summary of the proposals is as
follows:
The first proposal is to elect Directors for each Fund. TheAll Fund
stockholders of
each Fund will be asked to elect Directors of that Fund.vote on this proposal.
We are also asking for your approval of several other Proposals.proposals. As more
fully explained in the Proxy Statement, not all of these Proposalsproposals apply to
each Fund. These Proposalsproposals include the approval of:
o the amendment and restatement. Amendment of the charterinvestment advisory agreements for certain of each Fundthe Funds;
. Amendment of the Declarations of Trust for certain of the Funds that is aare
organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts;
. Amendment and Restatement of the Charters for certain of the Funds that
are organized as Maryland corporation;
o amendment, elimination or reclassificationcorporations;
. Amendment of the fundamental policies regarding commodities of certain Funds'
fundamental investment restrictions;of
the Funds; and
o reclassification. Reclassification of certain of the Funds' fundamental investment
objectives as non-fundamental and, in some cases, a change in a Fund's investment
objective.non-fundamental.
Q. HOW DOESDO THE BOARDBOARDS RECOMMEND I VOTE?
A. The Board recommendsBoards recommend that you vote "FOR"FOR each of the nominees and FOR all
Proposals.proposals.
Q. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
A. Stockholders of record at the close of business on August 24, 2005,
("RecordSeptember 9, 2010 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or
postponement of the Meeting. You will be entitled to vote only on those
proposals that apply to the Fund of which you were a stockholder on the
Record Date. If you owned shares on the Record Date, you have the right to
vote even if you later redeemed the shares.
Q. WHAT ROLE DOES A BOARDDO THE BOARDS PLAY?
A. A Board oversees the managementThe business and affairs of each Fund. TheFund are managed under the direction of
that Fund's Board. Each of the Directors havehas an obligation to serveact in what he
or she believes to be the best interests of a Fund, including approving and
recommending charter and policy changes such as those proposedthe proposals in the Proxy Statement. The background of each
nominee for Director is described in the Proxy Statement.
Q. WHY ARE THE DIRECTORSBOARDS PROPOSING TO AMEND THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF
CERTAIN FUNDS?
A. The first proposed amendment relates to the calculation of the investment
advisory fees for certain Funds. The standard investment advisory agreements
between the Funds' adviser, AllianceBernstein L.P. (the "Adviser") and most
of the Funds provide that the advisory fee rate is calculated as a
percentage of average daily net assets. Certain of the Funds' agreements
vary from this standard and provide that the fee rate is calculated as a
percentage of net assets at the end of the preceding calendar quarter. We
are proposing to amend the agreements that vary from the standard so that
the agreements provide that the advisory fee rate will be calculated as a
percentage of average daily net assets. This amendment would eliminate
disparities between the contractual fee rate and the effective fee rate that
result from the calculation of the fee rate as of the end of each preceding
calendar quarter.
The second proposed amendment relates to the reimbursement to the Adviser of
its costs of providing certain administrative services to a Fund at the
request of the Fund. The standard investment advisory agreements for the
Funds provide for the reimbursement to the Adviser of these costs. One
Fund's agreement does not include this provision. We are proposing to amend
the agreement that varies from the standard agreements to provide for the
reimbursement to the Adviser of these costs.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING THE AMENDMENT OF THE DECLARATIONS OF TRUST OF
CERTAIN FUNDS THAT ARE ORGANIZED AS MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS?
A. Several of the Funds are organized under Massachusetts law as Massachusetts
Business Trusts. Currently, the declarations of trust of certain of these
Funds require a stockholder vote to amend the declarations, except in
certain limited situations. We are proposing to amend the declarations to
provide the Directors with broad authority to amend the declarations without
a vote of stockholders. By allowing future amendments of a declaration
without stockholder approval, this proposal removes limits on the Directors'
authority to take actions that would
benefit the Funds. In connection with this proposal, the Directors approved
certain amendments to the declarations to take effect if stockholders
approve the proposal. These amendments would eliminate stockholder votes on
reorganization or merger, termination of a trust, and liquidation of a class
or series, as applicable. These amendments are intended to enable the
Directors to take actions that would be in the best interests of the Funds
without the cost and delay of obtaining a stockholder vote. The Directors
also approved certain other amendments to the declarations, as described in
the Proxy Statement to improve the efficient management of the Funds.
Q. WHY ARE THE BOARDS PROPOSING THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE CHARTER OF
EACHCERTAIN OF THE FUNDS?FUNDS THAT ARE ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND CORPORATIONS?
A. Most of the Funds are organized under Maryland law. We are proposing the
amendment and restatement of the chartercharters of each Fundcertain Funds that is aare Maryland
corporationcorporations for your approval in order to modernize and standardize these
documents and to facilitate the more efficient management of the Funds by giving
them greater flexibility as permitted under Maryland law.
Q. WHY ARE THE DIRECTORSBOARDS PROPOSING TO AMEND ELIMINATE OR RECLASSIFY CERTAIN OF THE FUNDS' FUNDAMENTAL
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS?POLICIES REGARDING COMMODITIES?
A. The Funds have certainCertain policies are required by the federal law applicable to mutual funds
to be fundamental, investment policies thatmeaning they cannot be changed without a stockholder
approval. Somevote. We are proposing to amend the Funds' fundamental policies regarding
commodities and adopt a more flexible policy that will reference applicable
law. The proposed amendment is intended to clarify that the Funds may
continue to be able to engage in current investment practices as approved by
the Directors, regardless of these policies are no longer
required due to changes in applicable law, and can now be eliminated or
revised.
These Proposals would update the Funds' fundamental investment policies and
standardize them across the Funds.including changes as
a result of recent financial reform legislation. The Funds would continue to be managed
in accordance with the investment policies described in their prospectuses
(as such prospectuses are updated from time-to-time). We dorevised policy will not expect that
the revised policies would significantly
change the way the Funds are managed.
Q. WHY ARE THE DIRECTORSBOARDS PROPOSING THAT YOU APPROVE RECLASSIFYINGTO RECLASSIFY CERTAIN OF THE FUNDS' FUNDAMENTAL
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND, IN SOME CASES, MODIFYING THEM?OBJECTIVES?
A. A Fund's investment objective generally is not required to be fundamental under
applicable laws.law. We propose the reclassification of thecertain Funds'
fundamental investment objectives as non-fundamental, similar to most of the
other Funds, to provide the Fundseach Fund with the flexibility to respond to market
changes by changing its investment objective without incurring the expense
and delay of seeking a stockholder vote. The reclassification would permit a
Fund to revise its investment objective in the event that the Board determines
that such a change would be in consultation with the Funds' investment adviser, Alliance Capital
Management L.P. ("Alliance") believes it is necessary or appropriate to
emphasize different strategies or portfolio allocationsbest interests of the Fund in light of
then
prevailingthe facts and circumstances, including market conditions or trends. The proposed changes to certain of
the Funds' investment objectives are intended to simplify and clarify the
Funds' investment objectives and to make them consistent among similar
groups of Funds, such as the fixed-income AllianceBernstein Funds, or
across all the Funds. In the case of AAGIT and ABF-Quality Bond Portfolio,
the proposed changes in investment objective would result in changes to the
Fund's investment strategies as discussed in detail in the attached Proxy
Statement. Any
subsequent change in a Fund's investment objective would be subject to prior
approval by the Board of that Fund. Stockholders will be given at least [30]60
days notice prior to the implementation of a material change in an
investment objective.
Q. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PROPOSALS FOR MULTIPLE FUNDS IN ONE PROXY STATEMENT?
A. The Funds are intended to offer a broad range of investment opportunities to
investors and the Funds have over [7]3 million stockholders. We have included
all of our Proposalsproposals in one Proxy Statement to reduce costs. More tailored
Proxy Statements would increase printing and mailing costs
significantly.costs. We recognize
that the Proxy Statement is lengthy and have endeavored to make it as simple
and understandable as possible. One way to approach it is for you to
identify the initials of your Fund below and, when reviewing Part I and Part II of the Proxy
Statement, only read the Proposalsproposals applicable to your Fund. Another way is
for you to use the Proxy Card, which is included in the materials being sent
to you, to identify the Proposalsproposals applicable to your Fund and only read
those parts of the Proxy Statement.

##Member of the Fair Value Pricing Committee (with respect to Ms. Jacklin, for
TAP only).
+ Mr. Keith will become a Director of a Fund if elected at the Meeting by that
Fund.
++Mr. Keith is an "interested person," as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, of each Fund due to his position as a Senior
Vice President of the Adviser.
The business and affairs of each Fund are managed under the direction of that
Fund's Board. Directors who are not "interested persons" of a Fund as defined
in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), are referred to as
"Independent Directors", and Directors who are "interested persons" of a Fund
are referred to as "Interested Directors". Certain information concerning the
Funds' governance structure and each Director is set forth below.
Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Directors. The
Governance and Nominating Committee of each Fund's Board, which is composed of
Independent Directors, reviews the experience, qualifications, attributes and
skills of potential candidates for nomination or election by the Board, and
conducts a similar review in connection with the proposed nomination of current
Directors for re-election by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders. In evaluating a candidate for nomination or election as a
Director, the Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account the
contribution that the candidate would be expected to make to the diverse mix of
experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Governance and
Nominating Committee believes contributes to good governance for the Fund.
Additional information concerning the Governance and Nominating Committee's
consideration of nominees appears in the description of the Committee below.
Each Fund's Board believes that, collectively, the Directors have balanced and
diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the
Board to operate effectively in governing the Fund and protecting the interests
of stockholders. The Board of each Fund has concluded that, based on each
Director's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual
basis and in combination with those of the other Directors, each Director is
qualified and should continue to serve as such.
In determining that a particular Director was and continues to be qualified to
serve as a Director, each Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of
which, in isolation, was controlling. In addition, each Board has taken into
account the actual service and commitment of each Director during his or her
tenure (including the Director's commitment and participation in Board and
committee meetings, as well as his or her current and prior leadership of
standing and ad hoc committees) in concluding that each should continue to
serve. Additional information about the specific experience, skills, attributes
and qualifications of each Director, which in each case led to the Board's
conclusion that the Director should serve (or continue to serve) as trustee or
director of the Fund, is provided in the table above and in the next paragraph.
Among other attributes and qualifications common to all Directors are their
ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information
provided to them (including information requested by the Directors), to
interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective
business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. In addition
to his or her service as a Director of the Fund and other AllianceBernstein
Funds as noted in the table above: Mr. Dobkin has experience as an executive of
a number of organizations and served as Chairman of the Audit Committee of many
of the AllianceBernstein Funds from 2001 to 2008; Mr. Downey has experience in
the investment advisory business including as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of a large fund complex and as director of a number of
non-AllianceBernstein funds and as Chairman of a non-AllianceBernstein
closed-end fund; Mr. Foulk has experience in the investment advisory and
securities
businesses, including as Deputy Controller and Chief Investment Officer of the
State of New York (where his responsibilities included bond issuances, cash
management and oversight of the New York Common Retirement Fund), has served as
Chairman of the AllianceBernstein Funds and of the Independent Directors
Committee since 2003, and is active in a number of mutual fund related
organizations and committees; Mr. Guzy has experience as a corporate director
including as Chairman of a public company and Chairman of the Finance Committee
of a large public technology company; Ms. Jacklin has experience as a financial
services regulator including as U.S. Executive Director of the International
Monetary Fund, which is responsible for ensuring the stability of the
international monetary system, and as a financial services lawyer in private
practice; Mr. Keith has experience as an executive of the Adviser with
responsibility for, among other things, the AllianceBernstein Funds; Mr. Moody
has experience as a certified public accountant including experience as Vice
Chairman and U.S. and Global Investment Management Practice Partner for a major
accounting firm, is a member of the governing council of an organization of
independent directors of mutual funds, and has served as Chairman of the Audit
Committee of most of the AllianceBernstein Funds since 2008; Mr. Turner has
experience as a director (including Chairman and Chief Executive officer of a
number of companies) and as a venture capital investor including prior service
as general partner of three institutional venture capital partnerships; and
Mr. Weiner has experience as a securities lawyer whose practice includes
registered investment companies and as Chairman, director or trustee of a
number of boards, and has served as Chairman of the Governance and Nominating
Committee of most of the AllianceBernstein Funds. The disclosure herein of a
director's experience, qualifications, attributes and skills does not impose on
such director any duties, obligations, or liability that are greater than the
duties, obligations, and liability imposed on such director as a member of the
Board and any committee thereof in the absence of such experience,
qualifications, attributes and skills.
Board Structure and Oversight Function. Each Fund's Board is responsible for
oversight of that Fund. Each Fund has engaged the Adviser to manage the Fund on
a day-to-day basis. Each Board is responsible for overseeing the Adviser and
the Fund's other service providers in the operations of that Fund in accordance
with the Fund's investment objective and policies and otherwise in accordance
with its prospectus, the requirements of the 1940 Act and other applicable
Federal, state and other securities and other laws, and the Fund's charter and
bylaws. Each Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings eight times
throughout the year. In addition, the Directors may meet in-person or by
telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. The
Independent Directors also regularly meet without the presence of any
representatives of management. As described below, each Board has established
four standing committees - the Audit, Governance and Nominating, Independent
Directors, and Fair Valuation Committees - and may establish ad hoc committees
or working groups from time to time, to assist the Board in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities. Each committee is composed exclusively of
Independent Directors. The responsibilities of each committee, including its
oversight responsibilities, are described further below. The Independent
Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel, and may from time to
time engage consultants and other advisors, to assist them in performing their
oversight responsibilities.
An Independent Director serves as Chairman of each Board. The Chairman's duties
include setting the agenda for each Board meeting in consultation with
management, presiding at each Board meeting, meeting with management between
Board meetings, and facilitating communication and coordination between the
Independent Directors and management. The Directors have determined that a
Board's leadership by an Independent Director and its committees composed
exclusively of Independent Directors is appropriate because they believe it
sets the proper tone to the relationships between the Fund, on the one hand,
and the Adviser and other service providers, on the other, and facilitates the
exercise of the Board's independent judgment in evaluating and managing the
relationships. In addition, each Fund is required to have an Independent
Director as Chairman pursuant to certain 2003 regulatory settlements involving
the Adviser.
Risk Oversight. Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including
investment, compliance and operational risks. Day-to-day risk management with
respect to a Fund resides with the Adviser or other service providers
(depending on the nature of the risk), subject to supervision by the Adviser.
Each Board has charged the Adviser and its affiliates with (i) identifying
events or circumstances, the occurrence of which could have demonstrable and
material adverse effects on the Fund; (ii) to the extent appropriate,
reasonable or practicable, implementing processes and controls reasonably
designed to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or
to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and
(iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously, and
to revise as appropriate, the processes and controls described in (i) and
(ii) above.
Risk oversight forms part of a Board's general oversight of a Fund's investment
program and operations and is addressed as part of various regular Board and
committee activities. Each Fund's investment management and business affairs
are carried out by or through the Adviser and other service providers. Each of
these persons has an independent interest in risk management but the policies
and the methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out
may differ from the Fund's and each other's in the setting of priorities, the
resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. Oversight of
risk management is provided by the Board and the Audit Committee. The Directors
regularly receive reports from, among others, management (including the Global
Heads of Investment Risk and Trading Risk of the Adviser), a Fund's Senior
Officer (who is also a Fund's chief compliance officer), its independent
registered public accounting firm, counsel, and internal auditors for the
Adviser, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and the Adviser's
risk management programs.
Not all risks that may affect a Fund can be identified, nor can controls be
developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. It may not be
practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, the
processes and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in
their effectiveness, and some risks are simply beyond the reasonable control of
the Fund or the Adviser, its affiliates or other service providers. Moreover,
it is necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to
achieve a Fund's goals. As a result of the foregoing and other factors a Fund's
ability to manage risk is subject to substantial limitations.
As of August 4, 2005,September 2, 2010, to the knowledge of management, the Directors and
officers of each Fund, both individually and as a group, owned less than 1% of
the shares
of any Fund.Fund except for AEIF, where none of the Directors own more than 1% of
shares but the Directors as a group, and the Directors and officers as a group,
own 1.1523%. Additional information related to the equity ownership of the
Directors in each of the Funds and the compensation they received from the
Funds is presented in Appendix B. During each Fund's most recently completed
fiscal year, the Fund's Directors as a group did not engage in the purchase or
sale of more than 1% of any class of securities of Alliancethe Adviser or of any of its
parents or subsidiaries.

requires a Director to attend annual meetings of stockholders but the Funds encourage such attendance.stockholders.
Each Fund's Board has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a
Governance and Nominating Committee, an Independent Directors Committee, and a
Fair Value Pricing Committee. The members of the Committees are identified
above in the table listing the Directors. The function of the Audit Committee
of each Fund is to assist the Board in its oversight of a Fund's financial reporting

Each Fund's Board has adopted a charter for its Governance and Nominating
Committee, a copy of which is included as Appendix C.available at www.alliancebernstein.com (click on
AllianceBernstein Mutual Fund Investors then US then Investment Products/Mutual
Funds). Pursuant to the charter of the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Governance and Nominating
Committee assists each Board in carrying out its responsibilities with respect
to governance of a Fund and identifies, evaluates and selects and nominates
candidates for that Board. The Committee may also may set standards or
qualifications for Directors.Directors and reviews at least annually the performance of
each Director, taking into account factors such as attendance at meetings,
adherence to Board policies, preparation for and participation at meetings,
commitment and contribution to the overall work of the Board and its
committees, and whether there are health or other reasons that might affect the
Director's ability to perform his or her duties. The Committee may consider
candidates as Directors submitted by a Fund's current Board members, officers,
investment adviser, stockholders and other appropriate sources.
The Governance and Nominating Committee of a Fund will consider candidates submitted by a
stockholder or group of stockholders who have beneficially owned at least 5% of
a Fund's outstanding common stock or shares of beneficial interest for at least
two years prior to the time of submission and who timely provide specified
information about the candidates and the nominating stockholder or group. To be
timely for
consideration by the Committee, the submission, including all required
information, must be submitted in writing to the attention of the Secretary at
the principal executive offices of a Fund not less than 120 days before the
date of the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting of
stockholders or, if an annual meeting was not held in the previous year, all
required information must be received within a reasonable amount of time before
the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials. The Committee will
consider only one candidate submitted by such a stockholder or group for
nomination for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. The Committee
will not consider self-nominated candidates.
The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate candidates
submitted by stockholders on the basis of the same criteria as those used to
consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. These criteria
include the candidate's relevant knowledge, experience, and expertise, the
candidate's ability to carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the
Fund and the candidate's ability to qualify as an Independent Director. When
assessing a disinterested Director. A
detailed descriptioncandidate for nomination, the Committee considers whether the
individual's background, skills, and experience will complement the background,
skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the diversity
of the criteria used byBoard.

and Nominating Committee as well as
information required to be provided by stockholders submitting candidates for
consideration by the Committee are included in Appendix C.of ABS met 4 times; of ABSS met 5 times; of ABF met 4

The function of each Fund's Fair Value Pricing Committee is to consider, in
advance if possible, any fair valuation decision of Alliance'sthe Adviser's Valuation
Committee relating to a security held by a Fund made under unique or highly
unusual circumstances not previously addressed by the Adviser's Valuation
Committee that would result in a change in the Fund's net asset value ("NAV")
by more than $0.01 per share. [TheThe Fair Value Pricing Committee did not meet
during any Fund's most recently completed fiscal year.]
The function of each Fund's Independent Directors Committee is to consider and
take action on matters that the Board or Committee believes should be addressed
in executive session of the disinterestedIndependent Directors, such as review and approval
of the Advisory, and Distribution Services and Transfer Agency Agreements. TheDuring

Each Board has adopted a process for stockholders to send communications to the
Board of their Fund. To communicate with a Board or an individual Director of a
Fund, a stockholder must send a written communication to that Fund's principal
office at the address listed in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of
Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement, addressed to the Board of that
Fund or the individual Director. All stockholder communications received in
accordance with this process will be forwarded to the Board or the individual
Director to whom or to which the communication is addressed.
Each Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote "FOR" each of the
nominees to serve as a Director of the applicable Fund. The election of each
nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast.
PROPOSAL TWO
APPROVALAMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS
A. AMENDMENTS TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS TO CONFORM
FEE MEASUREMENT PERIODS
ACF--ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO ("ACF-SCG")
AGTGF
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend each of
the investment advisory agreements for ACF-SCG and AGTGF (together, the
"Measurement Advisory Agreements"). The ACF-SCG Measurement Advisory Agreement
was initially approved by the Directors on September 27, 1971, but an amended
and restated Agreement, effective July 22, 1992, was approved by the Directors
on October 22, 1991 and by stockholders on June 11, 1992. The AGTGF Measurement
Advisory Agreement was initially approved by the Directors on December 22,
1981, but an amended and restated Agreement, effective July 22, 1992, was
approved by the Directors on October 22, 1991 and by stockholders on June 11,
1992. The standard investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and other
Funds provides that the advisory fee rate is calculated as a percentage of
average daily net assets. The Measurement Advisory Agreements vary from this
standard and provide that the fee rate is calculated as a percentage of net
assets at the end of the preceding calendar quarter. We are proposing an
amendment to the Measurement Advisory Agreements to provide that the advisory
fee rate will be calculated as a percentage of average daily net assets to
eliminate disparities between the contractual fee rate and the effective fee
rate that result from the calculation of the fee rate as of the end of each
preceding calendar quarter.
The fee calculation in the Measurement Advisory Agreements varies from the
current standard for historical reasons related to the initial approval dates
of the Measurement Advisory Agreements. The fee calculation was not changed
when the Measurement Advisory Agreements were subsequently amended and
restated. The Adviser recommended, and the Directors agreed, that the fee
calculation methodologies in the Measurement Advisory Agreements should be
conformed to the industry standard because it has become apparent due to, among
other things, recent fluctuations in Fund asset levels that variations in the
effective fee resulting solely from the method of calculating the fee are not
justified. The Directors concluded that the amendment would benefit the Funds
by eliminating unnecessary disparities in the Funds' advisory fees between the
contractual and effective rates. The change will also standardize the fee
calculations for the Funds and conform to current industry practice.
The standard fee rate currently in place for other Funds averages variations in
the net assets of a Fund so that a Fund's effective advisory fee is generally
equal to the contractual rate. In the case of ACF-SCG and AGTGF, however, the
calendar quarter measurement of the advisory fee results in effective fee rates
that may be higher or lower than, or equal to, the contractual fee rate due
solely to variations in net assets at the end of each calendar quarter. For
example, the contractual fee rate for both Funds is currently 0.75% but the
effective fee rate at the end of each of the last three fiscal years ending
July 31, 2008, July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2010, respectively, was 0.76%, 0.78%
and 0.75% for ACF-SCG and 0.73%, 0.73% and 0.74% for AGTGF. This historical
information illustrates differences in the fee rates resulting from the
calendar quarter measurement period. The effective fee rate for ACF-SCG was
higher than the contractual fee rate for the fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and the
effective fee rate for AGTGF was lower than the contractual fee rate for the
last three fiscal years. In addition, the effective fee rates may vary
significantly from calendar quarter end to calendar quarter end as shown in the
table below.
ACF-SCG
AS OF END OF 1ST AS OF END OF 2ND AS OF END OF 3RD AS OF END OF 4TH FYE
PERIOD QUARTER (3/30) QUARTER (6/30) QUARTER (9/30) QUARTER (12/30) (7/31)
- ------ ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------
2008 0.72% 0.66% 0.52% 0.83% 0.76%
2009 0.88% 0.79% 0.80% 0.84% 0.78%
2010 0.87% 0.62% N/A N/A 0.75%
AGTGF
AS OF END OF 1ST AS OF END OF 2ND AS OF END OF 3RD AS OF END OF 4TH FYE
PERIOD QUARTER (3/30) QUARTER (6/30) QUARTER (9/30) QUARTER (12/30) (7/31)
- ------ ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------
2008 0.71% 0.63% 0.46% 0.80% 0.73%
2009 0.86% 0.74% 0.80% 0.78% 0.73%
2010 0.82% 0.68% N/A N/A 0.74%
These differences are primarily due to changes in a Fund's net asset levels. In
the case of declining net assets, the effective fee rate would likely be lower
than the contractual fee rate, as is the case for AGTGF recently. ACF-SCG has
also experienced periods of declining net assets over recent periods, but not
as significantly as AGTGF, and has recently seen net asset levels increase,
resulting in its effective fee rate exceeding 0.75% in the fiscal years 2008
and 2009. If a Fund had a fairly stable level of net assets, it is likely that
the effective fee rate would be approximately the same as the contractual fee
rate.
If the proposed advisory fee rate had been in effect as of the Funds' recent
fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, the expense ratio for ACF-SCG's Class A shares
(and other Classes) would have been the same, but the expense ratio for AGTGF's
Class A shares would have increased from 1.55% to 1.56% with corresponding
changes for other Classes of AGTGF's shares.
Since the change to the measuring period could result in an effective advisory
fee that is higher than the current contractual advisory fee under certain
circumstances, we are requesting that the stockholders approve the proposed
amendments to the Measure-
ment Advisory Agreements. The proposed amendments would not affect any other
terms of the Measurement Advisory Agreements. More information about the
Adviser is included in the Funds' Statements of Additional Information, which
are available at www.alliancebernstein.com.
Approval of Proposal 2.A. requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
"majority of the outstanding voting securities," of each Fund, as defined in
the 1940 Act, which means the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting
securities of the Fund present or represented by proxy if the holders of more
than 50% of the Fund's outstanding voting securities are present or represented
by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund ("1940 Act Majority Vote"). The Board, including the Independent
Directors, of each Fund unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each
Fund vote FOR Proposal 2.A.
B. AMENDMENT TO INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF TAP TO PERMIT REIMBURSEMENT TO
THE ADVISER OF CERTAIN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation that the
investment advisory agreement of TAP (the "TAP Advisory Agreement") be amended.
The standard investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and other Funds
includes an investment advisory fee and also provides for the reimbursement to
the Adviser of the costs of certain non-advisory services that the Adviser
provides to the Fund at the request of the Fund. These reimbursable costs are
for personnel performing certain administrative services for the Funds,
including clerical, accounting, legal and other services ("administrative
services expenses"). The TAP Advisory Agreement does not provide for
reimbursement of the administrative services expenses that are provided to the
Portfolios of TAP as do the standard investment advisory agreements. The TAP
Advisory Agreement was initially approved by the Directors on February 16, 1993
and March 31, 1993. The TAP Advisory Agreement is different from most other
Funds' investment advisory agreements because the TAP Portfolios were acquired
from another fund complex without changes to the TAP Advisory Agreement upon
the acquisition. Implementation of the reimbursement provision for a Portfolio
will be subject to the approval of the Directors of TAP.
The proposed amendment would add a provision to the TAP Advisory Agreement
authorizing reimbursement to the Adviser of the administrative services
expenses. The Adviser's employees provide the same type of administrative
services to the TAP Portfolios as they do for other Funds but, under the TAP
Advisory Agreement, the Adviser receives no reimbursement for these
administrative services expenses. Reimbursement of expenses for administrative
services is a common arrangement in the fund industry. The reimbursement
obligation may be included in an investment advisory agreement or in a separate
agreement. The Directors concurred with the Adviser that the same type of
reimbursement arrangement for administrative services expenses should apply to
TAP as applies to the other Funds. The Directors concluded that the proposed
amendment was appropriate because it would permit the Adviser to be reimbursed
for its cost of providing non-advisory services that benefit the TAP Portfolios.
The following table shows for the fiscal year ended or the fiscal year to date
period ended July 31, 2010 each TAP Portfolio's current expense ratio for
Class A shares and the effect of the proposed amendment, if approved by
stockholders, on each Portfolio's expense ratio to three decimal points:
EXPENSE RATIO EXPENSE RATIO
WITHOUT INCLUDING
TAP PORTFOLIO REIMBURSEMENT REIMBURSEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AllianceBernstein Growth Fund (Fiscal Year End 7/31) 1.543% 1.551%
AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 0.996% 0.999%
AllianceBernstein Wealth Appreciation Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 1.114% 1.117%
AllianceBernstein Conservative Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year End 8/31) 1.003% 1.010%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Balanced Wealth Strategy (Fiscal Year
End 8/31) 1.113% 1.136%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Wealth Appreciation Strategy (Fiscal
Year End 8/31) 1.049% 1.056%
AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Conservative Wealth Strategy (Fiscal
Year End 8/31) 1.211% 1.256%
As the table indicates, the effect of the proposed amendment on the TAP
Portfolios' expense ratios is modest at current asset levels.
The Directors agreed with the Adviser's recommendation that it would be
appropriate for the TAP Advisory Agreement to be amended because it would apply
the same provisions to the TAP Portfolios relating to administrative services
expenses as those included in the advisory agreements for most other Funds. All
other provisions of the TAP Advisory Agreement would remain the same except for
certain minor conforming amendments. We are requesting a stockholder vote
because the amendment would result in an increase, as reflected above, in the
compensation paid to the Adviser under the TAP Advisory Agreement.
Approval of Proposal 2.B. requires a 1940 Act Majority Vote with respect to
each Portfolio of TAP. The Board, including the Independent Directors, of the
Fund unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each Portfolio of TAP vote
FOR Proposal 2.B.
PROPOSAL THREE
AMENDMENTS TO DECLARATIONS OF TRUST FOR CERTAIN FUNDS ORGANIZED AS
MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS
AEXR, AMIF II, ABT
A. AMENDMENT OF DECLARATIONS
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend the
Declarations of Trust (the "Declarations") of each of the Funds listed above,
which are organized as Massachusetts Business Trusts ("MBTs"). A stockholder
vote is required to amend the existing Declarations (the "Existing
Declarations") under certain circumstances. The proposed amendments to the
Existing Declarations (the "Amendments") would provide the Directors with broad
authority to amend the Declarations without a vote of stockholders. The
proposed Amendment to each Declaration is set forth below:
The Trustees may by vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office
amend or otherwise supplement the Declaration by making an amendment, a
Declaration supplemental hereto or an amended and restated Declaration.
The Amendment would replace Article VIII, Section 8 for the ABT Declaration in
its entirety and would replace certain portions of Section 9.3 for the AEXR and
AMIF II Declarations. The Declarations for AEXR and AMIF II will continue to
require the express consent of any affected stockholder or director for the
repeal of limitations on personal liability and prohibitions of assessment on
stockholders and will also continue to specify certain procedural requirements
relating to amendments to the Declarations.
By allowing future amendments of a Declaration without stockholder approval,
the Amendments would remove limits on the Directors' authority to take actions
that they believe would be in the best interests of the Funds. The Amendments
give the Directors the necessary authority and flexibility to react quickly to
changes in legal and regulatory conditions without the cost and delay of a
stockholder meeting when the Directors determine that the action is in the best
interests of the Funds.
The Funds are subject to comprehensive regulation under the 1940 Act and
Massachusetts law and a Board would still be required to submit a future
amendment to a Declaration to a vote of a Fund's stockholders if applicable law
were to require such a vote. Currently, Massachusetts law does not require a
stockholder vote on amendments to a declaration of trust unless the declaration
otherwise provides. In addition, Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act requires a
stockholder vote for combinations of affiliated funds where material changes to
a fund's fundamental policies, investment advisory agreement, board of
directors or distribution plan would result from the combination.
B. OTHER AMENDMENTS OF DECLARATIONS
In connection with approval of the Amendments, the Board considered and
approved the Adviser's recommendation to adopt certain other amendments to the
AEXR, AMIF II and ABT Declarations. These amendments will become effective only
if stockholders approve Proposal 3. The Directors could approve these
amendments after the Meetings if stockholders approve Proposal 3, but we want
stockholders to understand the other proposed amendments approved by the
Directors. These amendments are intended to enable the Directors to take
actions that would be in the
best interests of stockholders without the cost and delay of obtaining a
stockholder vote and to improve efficient administration of the Funds under the
Declarations.
Provisions of the Existing Declarations for these Funds require a stockholder
vote to approve a reorganization or merger of a Fund ("Reorganization
Provision") and, with respect to AEXR and AMIF II, termination of the trust
("Termination Provision") and liquidation of a series or class ("Liquidation
Provision"). The Directors approved amendments to the Reorganization Provision,
the Termination Provision and the Liquidation Provision that would eliminate
the stockholder vote requirement unless a stockholder vote is required by the
1940 Act or other applicable law. The stockholder vote requirement in the
Reorganization Provision, Termination Provision and Liquidation Provision was
historically included in the declarations of MBTs and is now uncommon.
Conforming amendments would also be made to sections of the relevant
Declarations that set forth the items for which stockholders have the power to
vote. These sections are Section 7.1 of the AEXR and AMIF II Declarations and
Article V, Section 1 of the ABT Declaration.
The Board also considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation that they
approve certain other administrative amendments to the Declarations as follows:
1. Quorum Requirements. The AEXR, AMIF II and ABT Declarations establish higher
quorum requirements for a stockholder meeting than those of many of the other
Funds. For AEXR and AMIF II, the quorum requirement is a majority of the shares
entitled to vote and, for ABT, the quorum requirement is 40% of the shares
entitled to vote. The higher quorum requirements may impede the conduct of a
stockholder meeting because action cannot be taken unless a quorum is present.
The Board considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to amend the
quorum requirement to reduce it to 30% of the shares entitled to vote. A lower
quorum will reduce the likelihood of the expense and delay of adjourning a
meeting or resoliciting stockholders should a quorum not be present in person
or by proxy. The revised quorum requirement is similar to the quorum
requirements applicable to a majority of other Funds, which is one-third of the
shares entitled to vote. The Directors have also approved an amendment to the
Bylaws of AEXR and AMIF II in order to conform the quorum requirements to their
amended Declarations.
2. Record Date. The AEXR and AMIF II Declarations provide that the Directors
may set a record date not more than 60 days prior to the date of any
stockholder meeting. This record date period is shorter than the 90-day period
applicable to other Funds and may make it more difficult for the Funds to
timely deliver proxies to stockholders and solicit stockholder votes. The
Directors considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation for the
amendment of the record date requirement to authorize the Directors to set a
record date not more than 90 days prior to the date of a stockholder meeting.
3. Director Meetings. The AEXR and AMIF II Declarations require an annual
meeting of the Directors to be held not later than the last day of the fourth
month after the end of a Fund's fiscal year end. These provisions impose
unnecessary requirements upon the holding of Director meetings. The Board
considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation to approve amendments to
the Declarations to eliminate these provisions.
Approval of Proposal 3 with respect to each Fund requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. The Board, including the
Independent Directors, of each Fund unanimously recommends that the
stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 3.
PROPOSAL FOUR
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF EACH FUND'S CHARTER
All Funds Except:
----------------
AEXR, ABT, AMIF II and TAPCHARTERS FOR CERTAIN FUNDS ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND
CORPORATIONS
ABS, ABSS, ACF, ACOF, AEIF, AGREIF, AGTGF, AGCF, AGIF, AHIF, AIGF, ALCGF
Each Fund subject to this Proposal is organized as a Maryland corporation and
is subject to the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"). Under the MGCL, eacha
Fund is formed pursuant to a charter (each a "Charter") that sets forth various
provisions relating primarily to the governance of that Fund and powers of the
Fund to conduct business. Each Fund's Board has declared advisable and
recommends to the Fund's stockholders the amendment and restatement of the
Charter forof that Fund. AllianceThe Adviser advised the BoardsBoard of each Fund that the
proposed amendments have two primary objectives. First, Alliancethe Adviser believes,
and the Directors agree, that it is important to modernize and update the
Charters to take full advantage of the flexibility afforded by the provisions
of the MGCL, as they currently exist or may be changed in the future. Second,
Alliancestockholders of many of the other Funds approved the amendment and restatement
of their Charters in 2005 and the Adviser believes and the Directors agree that
it is beneficial for all of the Funds' Charters shouldto be standardized so that
there will beare no differences among the Funds. In the past, the existence of
different Charter provisions has imposed burdens in administering the Funds
and, in some cases, limited athe Board's or Fund's powerauthority to take actions that would
benefit that Fund and its stockholders.
Many of the amendments are technical amendments that are designed to allow a
Fund's Board to take full advantage of the provisions of the MGCL. Some of the
Funds are older Funds. In fact, three of the Funds predate the 1940 Act. Since their formation, law and industry practice have
changed significantly, and the Charters for these Funds contain significant
variations from the Charters of more recently organized Funds. Some provisions
of these Charters are now obsolete because they are regulated by the 1940 Act
or the MGCL and are no longer required in the Charters. Other provisions
conflict with, or permit activities prohibited by, federal law or the MGCL.law. For these reasons, Alliancethe
Adviser recommended to the BoardBoards the amendment and restatement of the Charters
as discussed below in order to modernize and standardize them, which will
facilitate thea Board's ability to governdirect the management of the business and
affairs of a Fund as it deems advisable and in accordance with the Fund's best
interests of the Fund. Theinterests. Each Board recommends that stockholders approve the amendment and
restatement of the Charter for the Funds.(1)their Fund.1 The amendment and restatement of
each Charter will be accomplished by repealing in their entirety
of all of the
existing Charter provisions and substituting in lieu thereof the new provisions
set forth in the Form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement (each a "New
Charter" and, together, the "New Charters") attached as Appendix D.C. A detailed
summary of the amendments is set forth below. If a stockholder of any Fund
would like a copy of the current Charter for that Fund, please contact

1 Some Funds are organized as series funds and they may have separate
portfolios that are regarded as separate investment companies under the 1940
Act. However, all portfolios of a Fund are governed by the same charter.Charter and
stockholders of each series will vote on the proposed charter amendments.
Therefore, if approved by the stockholders, a New Charter (defined below)
will govern all of the portfolios operated by its Fund.
If approved, the New Charters will give thea Board more flexibility and broader
powerauthority to act than do the current Charters.existing charters. This increased flexibility mayis
intended to allow the BoardDirectors to react more quickly to changes in competitive
and regulatory conditions and as a consequence, may allow the Funds to operate in a more efficient
and economical manner.
While each of the New Charters of the Funds are generally the same (except for
variations with respect to authorization and classification of stock), as
explained above, manysome of the Fund's currentFunds' existing Charters are significantly
different. So, the actual provisions being repealed or amended will vary from
Fund to Fund. The proposed amendments to the Charters fall generally under four
broad categories: (i) series and class structure and related provisions;
(ii) stockholder voting provisions; (iii) mandatory and other redemption
provisions; and (iv) liability exculpation and indemnification and expense advance provisions. Certain of the older Funds
have additional categories. The following discussion outlinesdiscusses the material changes for
the Funds within these broad categories and the additional categories,
discusses the Boards' recommendations as to each amendment, and identifies each
Fund for which an amendment is applicable.
A. Series and Class Structure and Related Provisions
AllianceSERIES AND CLASS STRUCTURE AND RELATED PROVISIONS
The Adviser recommended, and the Boards declared advisable, the proposed
amendments concerning the establishment and administration of series and

required to be included in the Charters. The New Charters:
o Delete a provision granting the Board power to increase or decrease
the number of shares in a class pursuant to classification or

ABF, ACF, and AMIF
B. Stockholder Voting Provisions
Alliance recommended, and the BoardBoards declared advisable, proposed minor
changes to each Fund's voting provisions. These changes are intended to give
the Directors more flexibility in setting voting requirements consistent with
current MGCL provisions and the best interests of the Funds. These changes also
clarify quorum requirements at meetings for specific classes or series and for
a Fund as a whole. The first change belowproposed amendments are as follows:
. Permit, if approved by the Directors as to any matter submitted to
stockholders, a Fund to calculate the number of votes to which
stockholders are entitled to cast on such matter on the basis of the net
asset value of shares rather than on the basis of one vote for each share
outstanding. A Fund would be required to obtain exemptive relief from the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to calculate
stockholder votes entitled to be cast in this manner. This amendment would
permit each Boardthe Funds to address circumstances in which there are large
disparities in net asset value per share ofamong the series of a Fund with a number of series
resulting in inequitable voting rights among the stockholders of the
various series in relation to the value of a stockholder's investment.
The existing Charters
provide that stockholdersWhile the Funds do not currently intend to seek exemptive relief, if the
proposed amendment to the charter is approved, the Funds would be able to
rely upon such relief if it is ever requested and granted without any need
to seek stockholder approval of a specific class or series of stock will vote on
issues pertaining only to that class or series of stock. The second change is
intended to clarify thatcharter amendment.
All Funds.
. Permit the Board would make this determination where it is not
otherwise specified by law. The third and fourth changes address quorum
requirements at meetings for specific classes or series and for a Fund as a
whole. The New Charters contain provisions that:
o Permit, as to any matter submitted to stockholders, a Fund to
calculate the number of votes to which a stockholder is entitled to
cast on such matter based on the NAV of shares rather than on the
basis of one vote for each share outstanding. Votes would be so
calculated only if approved in advance by a Fund's Board, and only if
the Fund first obtains an exemptive order from the SEC permitting the
Fund to calculate votes in this manner. See New Charter, Article
Fifth, Section 8.

stockholders of a specific class will vote on issues pertaining only to
that class. This amendment is intended to clarify that the Directors may
make this determination of whether an issue pertains to a particular class
when it is not otherwise specified by law. In addition, the proposed
amendments would clarify that, where the Charter (in addition to applicable laws)
mandates a separate vote by holders of one or more series or class of
the Fund's stock, a quorum will be determined by the number of
stockholders present at the meeting of stockholders of that specific class or series rather than for the Fund as a whole. See New Charter,

C. Mandatory and Other Redemption Provisions
AllianceMANDATORY AND OTHER REDEMPTION PROPOSALS
The Adviser recommended, and the BoardBoards declared advisable, the proposed
changes to give the Board more flexibility to redeem stockholder accounts that fall below a
certain threshold. Alliance advised the Board that small accounts are costly for
a Fund to maintain, often at the expense of larger stockholders. Certain of the
existing Charters provide that a Board may cause a Fund to redeem a
stockholder's shares of the Fund if, after a redemption, in certain cases, or
otherwise in other cases, the amount that the stockholder has invested in the
Fund falls below a specified dollar amount (usually $200) or such other amount
that the Board may determine.(3) This provision also includes a cap on the
dollar amount that the Board may set (up to $5,000,000) and a stockholder notice
requirement. The amendments recommended by Alliance, and declared advisable by
the Board, would give a BoardDirectors greater administrative flexibility to determine when it is in
the best interests of a Fund to redeem shares or to impose fees upon
redemptions. For example, small accounts are costly for the Fund to redeem small accounts by givingmaintain,
often at the Board sole discretionexpense of larger stockholders. Although the Directors have the
ability to set mandatory redemption amounts within the limits currently set
forth in the charters, the proposed change would provide the Directors with
maximum flexibility to set mandatory redemption amounts that are appropriate
for a Fund's circumstances as well as to determine the method and timing of
notice to stockholders. The Directors are expected to consider a recommendation
of the Adviser that they approve an increase in the mandatory thresholdredemption amount
for redemption.the Funds of $1,000, rather than the current $500, in the near term. In
addition, these amendments would delete the notice provision and permit a Board to cause a Fund to makeeffect
mandatory redemptions for other purposes, such as for a reorganization or
liquidation of a Fund as nowor one or more of its series or classes, which are
generally permitted by relatively recent amendmentsthe MGCL to the MGCL.be undertaken without stockholder approval.
If these changes are adopted, upon approval by athe Board, the typical
Fund
reorganization or liquidation will require only the stockholder approval
required under the 1940 Act, if any. The New Charter provisions:

redemption charge or deferred sales charge.(4) For these Funds, the changes
would add a redemption fee or "other amount" (e.g. shareholder transaction fees)
to the fees that the Board may impose. These changes would give the Board
increased flexibility to impose fees upon redemption where they determine that
to do so would be in the best interests of the Fund. For example, under the
flexibility provided by this revision, a BoardDirectors could
determine to imposethat a redemption fee to discourage market timing in a Fund. In connection therewith,

D. Liability Exculpation and Indemnification and Expense Advance
Provisions

the MGCLMaryland law and the 1940 Act, Directors and officers shall not be liable to a
Fund for money damagesdamages. Moreover, the charters or Bylaws of the Funds provide
that, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and the 1940 Act,
Directors and officers shall be indemnified by the FundFunds and shall have
expenses advanced by the Fund. Alliance recommendedFunds. The proposed amendments to each Board,
and each Board declared advisable, that each Fund's Charter be revised to
clarify, or where necessary, to specifycertain of the
charters would specifically provide that a Fund has the power to indemnify and
advance expenses to its Directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted
by the 1940 Act and the MGCL. The 1940 Act and the MGCLproposed amendments would also, among other
things:
. Clarify or provide extensive regulation of the indemnification that, a Fund may provide to its
Directors and officers. Alliance advised the Boards that the proposed changes to
the existing Charters are intended only to make the indemnification provisions
clearer and would not change a Fund's existing indemnification obligations to a
Fund's Directors and officers. Each Fund's Board believes that it is important
for a Fund to be able to limit the liability of its Directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law
and indemnify and advance expenses to the
maximum extent permitted by law in order to promote effective management and
oversight of the Funds. More restrictive indemnification provisions may make it
difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and Directors. These changes
update each Fund's indemnification provisions consistent with the current
industry standard as permitted under the 1940 Act, and Maryland law.(5)

advisable by the Boards, would provide greater flexibility for the Board to
oversee a Fund, especially the power to authorize the issuance of shares to the
extent permitted by the MGCL. The New Charters:

other methods than by ballot unlessbecause the Fund's Bylaws provide
otherwise.
AMCGF
(iii) Interested Persons Provisions
The Charters for certain Funds currently permit contracts to provide services
between the Fund and interested persons of the Fund, including Alliance.
Presumably, these provisions were based on provisions in operating company
charters that permit such arrangements. The 1940 Act, rather than the MGCL,
determines and limits transactions between a Fund and its affiliates and sets
forth specific procedures a Fund must follow. The provisions are not required in
a Fund's Charter and may conflict with the provisions of the 1940 Act. The
proposed changes will:
o Delete a provision regarding the procedures that a Fund must follow to
enter into a contract with an affiliate.
ABF, ACF, AGTF, and AMIF
o Delete provisions permitting interested persons to contract to provide
services for the Fund and providing indemnification with respect to
those contracts.

o Delete provisions that state that contracts with interested persons
will not be void if such interest is disclosed to the Board and that
permit an interested person to be counted towards quorum for a vote to
authorize the contract.

(iv) Dividends and Distributions
The 1940 Act, the MGCL and federal tax laws regulate a Fund'sFunds' method and manner of payingmaking dividends
and making distributions. Provisions relating to these
matters are not necessary in a Fund's Charter and may conflict withdistributions is regulated by the 1940 Act and other requirements. For these reasons, Alliance recommended, andfederal tax law, as well as
applicable limitations on distributions under the Boards

affect the Funds' current dividend policies.

will:

ABS and AGIF
o3. Class Provisions
Certain of the Funds have outdated provisions related to matters that are now
governed by the 1940 Act or exemptions thereto. These changes would not affect
the Funds' current investment policies. The proposed amendments would:
. Delete a provision giving the Board conclusive determination over
which receipts shall constitute income and which shall constitute
principal and the allocation thereof.

4. Stockholder Voting Provision
Certain of the Funds' Charters are silent on the requirements for a quorum for
transaction of business at stockholders meeting. Recent changes to the MGCL
generally permit, when a charter is silent on the requirements for a quorum at
a stockholders meeting, the Bylaws of a Fund to establish the quorum
requirements. The Bylaws of each of ABS, AGIF and AGTGF generally provide that,
at any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of
stockholders entitled to cast one-third of all the votes entitled to be cast at
such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum. The New Charters
establish quorum provisions that are consistent with the Bylaws of ABS, AGIF,
and AGTGF. The Adviser proposed, and the Board deemed advisable, that this
quorum requirement be added to these Funds' Charters. This is the same quorum
requirement included in most other Funds' Charters. The New Charters:
. Provide that the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares
entitled to cast one-third of the votes entitled to be cast would
constitute a quorum for a stockholder meeting.
5. Redemption Provisions
The proposed amendments would delete certain provisions relating to redemptions
of shares. These provisions are now unnecessary because the matters covered by
them are governed by Maryland law or the 1940 Act. The proposed amendments
would:
. Delete a provision permittingterminating a stockholder's rights at the time a
redemption price has been determined with certain exceptions.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
. Delete a provision that authorizes a Fund, upon Board approval, to buy
back shares at a price not exceeding net asset value by an agreement with
stockholders.
ABS, ACF, AGIF and AGTGF.
6. Board of Directors
The proposed amendments would provide that the minimum number of Directors for
a Fund shall be one and eliminate the maximum number of Directors. The minimum
number is currently specified as two or three Directors and the maximum as
twenty (applies to ACF and AGTGF). The proposed amendments would give the
Directors the flexibility to determine the number of Directors that are
appropriate for a Fund's Board based on the specific circumstances of the Fund.
The proposed amendments would also revise the general powers of the Board and
explicitly permit the Board to set apart assetsauthorize the issuance of stock and other
securities without stockholder approval unless otherwise required by applicable
law. These amendments provide greater flexibility for dividendsthe Directors to
determine appropriate actions for a reserve.

PROPOSAL THREE
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT, ELIMINATION, OR RECLASSIFICATON OF
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
Under Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act, a Fund must disclose whether it has a policy
regarding the following: (1) diversification, as defined in the 1940 Act; (2)
borrowing money; (3) issuing senior securities; (4) underwriting securities
issued by other persons; (5) purchasing or selling real estate; (6) purchasing
or selling commodities; (7) making loans to other persons; and (8) concentrating
investments in any particular industry or group of industries ("Section 8(b)
policies"). Under the 1940 Act, these policies are "fundamental" and may not be
changed without a stockholder vote.
In addition to its Section 8(b) policies, under the 1940 Act a Fund may
designate any other of its policies as fundamental policies (the "Other
Fundamental Policies"). Many of the Funds' Other Fundamental Policies can be
traced back to federal or state securities law requirements that were in effect
when the Funds were organized. These restrictions have subsequently been made
less restrictive or are no longer applicable to the Funds. For example, the
National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 ("NSMIA") preempted many
investment restrictions formerly imposed by state securities laws and
regulations (these state laws and regulations are often referred to as "blue
sky" laws and regulations), so those state requirements no longer apply. As a
result, many of the current restrictions unnecessarily limit the investment
strategies available to Alliance in managing a Fund's assets. In addition, the
lack of uniform standards across the Funds leads to operating inefficiencies and
increases the costs of compliance monitoring.
The Board of each Fund considered and approved Alliance's recommendation that
the Fund's Section 8(b) policies be replaced with standardized fundamental
policies. In some cases, one or more of these policies are non-fundamental and
Alliance recommended and the Boards approved the addition of these policies as
fundamental in the new standardized format. In other cases, Alliance recommended
and the Boards approved less restrictive Section 8(b) policies. If the Proposals
are approved with respect to a Fund, only those investment restrictions that the
1940 Act specifically requires to be fundamental (i.e., the Section 8(b)
policies), as described in Proposals 3.A. - 3.G. will remain fundamental
investment restrictions of the Funds. Alliance also recommended and the Boards
approved the elimination of the Other Fundamental Policies as discussed below in
Proposals 3.H. - 3.Z.1. None of the changes in the Section 8(b) policies or the
Other Fundamental Policies is expected to have a significant effect on the
management of the Funds.
Proposal 3.A. - Diversification
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
AAGIT, AEMDF, AGCF, AGSIT, AMIF - California Portfolio, AMIF - Insured
California Portfolio, AMIF - New York Portfolio, AMIF II - All Portfolios, and
AMMST
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction in
effect would read:
"The Fund is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act"
Discussion of Proposed Modification:
Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act requires an investment company to state whether it
is "diversified" as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. Consequently, the
proposed modification is consistent with the 1940 Act, which only requires that
a Fund state whether it is diversified. The 1940 Act requires that funds
classify themselves as either diversified or non-diversified. The difference is
that diversified funds are subject to stricter percentage limits on the amount
of assets that can be invested in any one company. Specifically, a diversified
fund may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets: (1) invest more than 5%
of its total assets in the securities of one issuer, or (2) hold more than 10%
of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer.
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that no change is
being proposed to a Fund's designation as diversified. Instead, the proposed
change would modify a Fund's fundamental investment restrictions regarding its
sub-classification under the 1940 Act to rely on the definitions of the term
"diversified" in the 1940 Act rather than stating the relevant percentage
limitations expressed under current law. As a result, without a Fund's Board or
stockholders taking further action, the modified investment restriction would
automatically apply the requirements of "diversification" under the 1940 Act to
a Fund as those requirements may be amended from time to time.
For those Funds that did not previously have a fundamental policy with respect
to diversification, approval of this proposed modification would result in the
adoption of this policy as a fundamental policy. To the extent that a Fund has a
related policy or a substantively duplicative policy or policies with respect to
diversification, that policy or policies would be eliminated with the approval
of this proposed modification.
Proposal 3.B. - Amendment of Fundamental Policies
Regarding the Issuance of Senior Securities and Borrowing Money
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
AIGF and AIRGF
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restrictions
regarding borrowing and senior securities in effect would be combined to read:
"The Fund may not issue any senior security (as that term is defined
in the 1940 Act) or borrow money, except to the extent permitted by
the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder (as such statute,
rules or regulations may be amended from time to time) or by guidance
regarding, or interpretations of, or exemptive orders under, the 1940
Act or the rules or regulations thereunder published by appropriate
regulatory authorities."
"For the purposes of this restriction, margin collateral arrangements,
including, for example, with respect to permitted borrowings, options,
futures contracts, options on futures contracts and other derivatives
such as swaps are not deemed to involve the issuance of a senior
security."
Discussion of Proposed Modification:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that under Section
18(f)(1) of the 1940 Act, a Fund may not issue senior securities, except that it
may borrow from banks, for any purpose, up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. Under
the 1940 Act, certain types of transactions entered into by a Fund, including
futures contracts, repurchase agreements, short sales, and when-issued and
delayed delivery transactions, may be considered to raise senior securities
issues. Alliance noted that currently, under SEC interpretations, these
activities are not deemed to be prohibited so long as certain collateral or
coverage requirements designed to protect stockholders are met. The proposed
modification makes it clear that collateral arrangements are not to be deemed to
be the issuance of a senior security.
Most of the Funds' current fundamental policies with respect to senior
securities and borrowings are separate policies. The proposed modification
combines the two policies and would automatically conform a Fund's policy more
closely to the exact statutory and regulatory requirements regarding senior
securities, as they may exist from time to time, without incurring the time and
expense of obtaining shareholder approval to change the policy. For Funds that
do not have a policy regarding investments in senior securities as a fundamental
policy, the new policy would, upon shareholder approval, be added as a
fundamental policy.
Certain of the Funds' fundamental policies on borrowings prohibit borrowings or
impose percentage limitations on borrowings. The proposed fundamental policy for
borrowing would permit Funds to borrow up to the full extent permitted by the
1940 Act. These current policies for these Funds with restrictions on borrowings
are listed below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Policy Applicable to:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prohibitions on borrowings. ABF-U.S. Government and Quality Bond
Portfolios; AHYF; ALGCF; AMGCF;
AGTF; AREIF and AInstF-Real
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed fundamental policy for
borrowing would permit Funds with
policies imposing the following
percentage limitations on borrowings
to borrow up to the full extent
permitted by the 1940 Act:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Up to 20% of assets: o AMIF and AMIF II
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Up to 15% of assets: o AUIF; AGCF and AEXR

AGHC; AGIF; ABS; TAP - Tax-Managed
Balanced Wealth Strategy and

The use of leverage by a Fund is considered speculative and involves risk.
However, there is no current intention that any of these Funds will use this
increased borrowing capability.

Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction
regarding underwriting securities in effect would read:
"The Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities, except that the
Fund may acquire restricted securities under circumstances in which,
if such securities were sold, the Fund might be deemed to be an
underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended."
Discussion of Modification:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that the purpose of
the modification is to clarify that the Funds are not prohibited from acquiring
"restricted securities" to the extent such investments are consistent with a
Fund's investment objective, even if such investments may result in the Fund
technically being considered an underwriter under the federal securities laws.
The modification standardizes the policy on underwriting across the Funds.
Restricted securities are securities that have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and are purchased directly from the
issuer or in the secondary market. Restricted securities may not be resold
unless registered under such Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from
such registration. Restricted securities have historically been considered a
subset of illiquid securities (i.e. securities for which there is no public
market). Alliance noted that because the Funds need to maintain a certain amount
of liquidity to meet redemption requests, the Funds do not typically hold a
significant amount of restricted or other illiquid securities because of the
potential for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation
For Funds that did not previously have a fundamental policy with respect to
underwriting securities, approval of this proposed modification would result in
the adoption of this policy as a fundamental policy for those Funds. To the
extent that a Fund has a related or a substantively duplicative policy or
policies with respect to underwriting, that policy or policies would be
eliminated with the approval of this proposed modification.
Proposal 3.D. - Amendment of Fundamental Policy Regarding
Concentration of Investments
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except
----------------
AIGF, AIRGF, and AMMST
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction
regarding concentration of investments in effect would read:
"The Fund may not concentrate investments in an industry, as
concentration may be defined under the 1940 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder (as such statute, rules or regulations may be
amended from time to time) or by guidance regarding, interpretations
of, or exemptive orders under, the 1940 Act or the rules or
regulations thereunder published by appropriate regulatory
authorities."
Discussion of Modification:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that even though the
1940 Act does not define what constitutes "concentration" in an industry, the
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has taken the position
that investment of more than 25% of the value of a Fund's assets in one or more
issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry
(excluding the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) constitutes
concentration. For Funds that do not concentrate their investments, the proposed
change would permit investment in an industry up to the prescribed limits under
the 1940 Act and accompanying SEC interpretations, as those limits are updated
from time to time.
For Funds that did not previously have a fundamental policy with respect to
concentration, approval of this proposed modification would result in the
adoption of this policy as a fundamental policy for those Funds. To the extent
that a Fund has a related or a substantively duplicative policy or policies with
respect to concentration, that policy or policies would be eliminated with the
approval of this proposed modification.
Proposal 3.E. - Amendment of Fundamental Policy Regarding
Investment in Real Estate and Companies that Deal in Real Estate
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
AIGF and AIRGF
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction in
effect would read:
"The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate except that it may
dispose of real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of
securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prohibit
the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
real estate or in securities of companies engaged in the real estate
business."
Discussion of Proposed Modification:
The 1940 Act requires a Fund to state a fundamental policy regarding the
purchase and sale of real estate. In making its recommendation to the Boards,
Alliance noted that as a general matter, under a Fund's current real estate
investment policy, a Fund is restricted in its ability to purchase and sell real
estate even when ownership of the real estate devolves upon the Fund through
permissible investments. For instance, Alliance noted that it is possible that a
Fund could, as a result of an investment in debt securities of a company that
deals in real estate, come to hold an interest in real estate in the event of a
default. The proposed modification to a Fund's policy on real estate-related
investments would permit the sale of real estate when ownership of real estate
results from permissible investments. The modification also clarifies that a
Fund may invest in real estate-related securities and real estate backed-
securities or instruments.
For Funds that did not previously have a fundamental policy with respect to real
estate investments, approval of this proposed modification would result in the
adoption of this policy as a fundamental policy for those Funds. In addition, to
the extent that a Fund has a real estate policy that was put into place to
satisfy state blue sky requirements, such as those that address investment in
real estate limited partnerships, any such real estate policy would be
eliminated upon the approval of this proposed modification.
Proposal 3.F. - Amendment of Fundamental Policy Regarding
Investment in Commodities, Commodity Contracts and Future Contracts
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
AIGF and AIRGF
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restriction in
effect would read:
"The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities regulated by the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act
or commodity contracts except for futures contracts and options on
futures contracts."
Discussion of Modification:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that the proposed
changes to a Fund's policy make it clear that the Fund may use derivatives.
Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are generally accepted under
modern portfolio management and are regularly used by many mutual funds and
other institutional investors.
Alliance discussed certain of the risks involved in investments in derivative
instruments. Alliance noted that there is the risk that interest rates,
securities prices and currency markets will not move in the direction that a
Fund's portfolio manager anticipates and the risk of imperfect correlation
between the price of derivative instruments and movements in the direct
investments for which derivatives are a substitute. Other risks include the
possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument and
possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it
difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired, the risk that
adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially
greater than the Fund's initial investment in that instrument (in some cases,
the potential loss is unlimited), and the risk that the counterparty will not
perform its obligations.
For Funds that previously had a non-fundamental policy with respect to
commodities, commodity contracts and futures contracts, approval of this
proposed modification would also result in the adoption of this policy as a
fundamental policy for those Funds. In addition, certain of the Funds had a
fundamental policy that did not permit investments in futures contracts. These
Funds are ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, AEXR, AInstF - AllianceBernstein Real
Estate Investment Institutional Fund, AMCGF, and AREIF. If the stockholders of
these Funds approve this proposal, these Funds would have the flexibility to
invest in futures contracts. Alliance also discussed certain of the risks
involved in the purchase or sale of financial futures contracts and options
thereon. Alliance noted that there is a risk that the performance of financial
futures contracts may correlate imperfectly with the performance of the direct
investments for which the financial futures contracts are a substitute. In
addition, Alliance stated that, as a result of limitations imposed on futures
trading by certain exchanges, the Funds could incur losses from delays in
trading. The extent to which any such Fund may invest in futures contracts will
be disclosed in its prospectus. It is not expected that the adoption of this
less restrictive policy will have any significant effect on the management of
the Funds.
Proposal 3.G. - Amendment of Fundamental Policies Regarding Loans
Applicable Funds:
All Funds
---------
Proposed New Fundamental Investment Restriction: If the proposed amendment is
approved by stockholders, each Fund's fundamental investment restrictions
regarding loans in effect would read:
"The Fund may not make loans except through (i) the purchase of debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objectives and policies;
(ii) the lending of portfolio securities; (iii) the use of repurchase
agreements; or (iv) the making of loans to affiliated funds as
permitted under the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder (as
such statutes, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time),
or by guidance regarding, and interpretations of, or exemptive orders
under, the 1940 Act."
Discussion of Modification:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that the proposed
change clarifies a Fund's ability to engage in securities lending and/or
interfund lending to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the then-current
SEC policy. The 1940 Act currently limits loans of a Fund's securities to
one-third of the Fund's assets, including any collateral received from the loan,
provided that loans are 100% collateralized by cash or cash equivalents. In the
future, should the rules and regulations governing loans by mutual funds change,
the proposed restriction would automatically conform to those new requirements
without the need to solicit stockholder votes. The current restrictions of most
Funds are consistent with the current limitation. However, the restrictions are
set lower than the maximum allowed under the 1940 Act for TAP - Growth Fund, TAP
- - AllianceBernstein Wealth Strategy, and TAP - AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed
Wealth Preservation Strategy. If this proposal is approved by shareholders, the
Funds would be permitted to make loans to the maximum extent permitted by the
1940 Act. This less restrictive lending policy is not expect to have a
significant effect on the management of the Funds.
For Funds that did not previously have a fundamental policy with respect to
making loans, approval of this proposed modification would result in the
adoption of this policy as a fundamental policy for those Funds.
Proposal 3.H.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting
Joint Securities Trading Accounts
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio, ACF -
Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AEMDF, AGCF, AGSIT, AInstF - Real Estate Investment
Institutional Fund, ALCGF, AMIF - California Portfolio, AMIF - Insured National
Portfolio, AMIF - New York Portfolio, AMIF -National Portfolio, AMIF II - All
Portfolios, AMMST, AREIF, and AUIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding
participation in a joint securities trading account be eliminated in its
entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the fundamental investment restriction on a Fund's participation in a
joint securities trading account was based on the requirements formerly imposed
by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to registration. As a result of
NSMIA, this restriction is no longer required and may be eliminated from a
Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. Furthermore, Alliance noted that
Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits any affiliated person of or
principal underwriter for a Fund acting as principal to effect any transaction
in which the Fund is a joint, or joint and several, participant with such
person. Consequently, except for those transactions that either the 1940 Act or
the SEC has deemed, with the proper level of Board oversight, to pose no
problems of overreaching by an affiliate, a Fund would be required to seek an
exemptive order from the SEC before engaging in the type of activity covered by
this restriction. Because the 1940 Act and related regulations adequately
protect a Fund and its stockholders, there is no need to maintain this
restriction.
Proposal 3.I.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting
Investments for Purposes of Exercising Control
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
ABSS, ABF - Quality Bond Portfolio, AGRGF, AHYF, AIGF, AIRGF, AMCGF, AMIF - All
Portfolios, AMIF II - All Portfolios, TAP - Growth Fund, TAP - AllianceBernstein
Tax-Managed Balanced Wealth Strategy, and TAP - AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed
Wealth Preservation Strategy
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction prohibiting
investments made for purposes of exercising control over, or management of, the
issuer be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the investment restriction on investing in a security for the purpose
of obtaining or exercising control over, or management of, the issuer was based
on the requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a
condition to registration. As a result of NSMIA, this restriction is no longer
required and may be eliminated from a Fund's investment restrictions.
Proposal 3.J.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investments in
Other Investment Companies Exceeding Specified Percentage Limitations
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ABF-Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABF-U.S. Government Portfolio, ABS, AEMDF,
AEXR, AGIF, AGRGF, ALCGF, AMMST, and AUIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction on investments in
other investment companies be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the fundamental investment restriction on investments in other
investment companies was based on requirements formerly imposed by state "blue
sky" regulators as a condition to registration. As a result of NSMIA, this
restriction is no longer required to be among a Fund's fundamental investment
restrictions. Moreover, Alliance noted that in the absence of this restriction,
the Funds are still subject to the limitations on investments in other
investment companies imposed on all mutual funds under Section 12(d)(1)(A) of
the 1940 Act. In general, under that section, an investment company ("Acquiring
Fund") cannot acquire shares of another investment company ("Acquired Fund") if,
after the acquisition, (i) the Acquiring Fund would own more than 3% of the
Acquired Fund's securities; (ii) more than 5% of the total assets of the
Acquiring Fund would be invested in the Acquired Fund; and (iii) more than 10%
of the total assets of the Acquiring Fund would be invested in other investment
companies (including the Acquired Fund).
Stockholders should note that at a meeting held on August 3, 2005, as a result
of Alliance's recommendation, the Boards of the affected Funds adopted a
non-fundamental policy to address investment in other investment companies. That
policy states in effect that: "A Fund may invest in the securities of other
investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted
under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder (as such statute,
rules or regulations may be amended from time to time) or by guidance regarding,
interpretations of, or exemptive orders under, the 1940 Act or the rules or
regulations thereunder published by appropriate regulatory authorities."
Stockholders are not required to approve non-fundamental policies. The Boards
have the flexibility to amend a non-fundamental policy in furtherance of 'a
Fund's best interests, without the expense and delay of soliciting a stockholder
vote.
To the extent that a Fund has a related policy with respect to investments in
other investment companies, that policy would be eliminated with the approval of
this Proposal.
Proposal 3.K.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting
Investments in Oil, Gas, and Other Types of
Minerals or Mineral Leases
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABF- U.S. Government Portfolio, ABS, ACF
- Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AEMDF, AGIF, AGSIT, AGTF, AInstF - Real Estate
Investment Institutional Fund, ALCGF, AMCGF, AMMST, AREIF, and AUIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction prohibiting Funds
from purchasing oil, gas, and other types of minerals or mineral leases be
eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the fundamental investment restriction on purchasing or selling
interests in oil, gas, or mineral leases, and other types of minerals or mineral
leases was based on the requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky"
regulators as a condition to registration. As a result of NSMIA, this
restriction is no longer applicable and may be eliminated from the Funds'
investment restrictions. Nevertheless, Alliance noted that there are no current
expectations that the Funds will engage in such activities. In the future,
should a Fund decide to engage in such activities, appropriate disclosure
regarding the nature and risks of such investments would be disclosed in a
Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information.
Proposal 3.L.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy
Restricting Purchases of Securities on Margin
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
-----------------
ABT-All Funds, AFGIF, AGHCF, AIGF, AIRGF, and TAP- All Funds
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction restricting the
purchase of securities on margin be eliminated.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the fundamental investment restrictions on margin activities were
based on the requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a
condition to registration. As a result of NSMIA, these restrictions are no
longer required and may be eliminated from the Funds' fundamental investment
restrictions. Furthermore, it is unlawful for an investment company, in
contravention of applicable SEC rules or orders, to purchase securities on
margin except for such short-term credits as are necessary for clearing
transactions. Alliance advised the Boards that the SEC has not adopted rules
relating to purchasing securities on margin and the policy is not required to be
fundamental.
At a meeting held on August 3, 2005 for all applicable Funds except AGTF, and on
August 9, 2005, for AGTF, after considering Alliance's recommendation, the
Boards of the affected Funds adopted a non-fundamental policy that reflects the
limited exception for purchasing securities on margin and clarifies that margin
deposits in connection with certain financial instruments do not fall within the
general prohibition on purchasing securities on margin. That non-fundamental
policy reads in effect as follows: "A Fund may not purchase securities on
margin, except (i) as otherwise provided under rules adopted by the SEC under
the 1940 Act or by guidance regarding the 1940 Act, or interpretations thereof,
and (ii) that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for
the clearance of portfolio transactions, and the Fund may make margin payments
in connection with futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps,
floors, collars and other financial instruments." Stockholder approval of this
non-fundamental policy is not required. A Fund's Board has the flexibility to
amend a non-fundamental policy in furtherance of 'the Fund's best interests,
without the expense and delay of a stockholder vote.
Proposal 3.M.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy
Restricting Short Sales
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except
----------------
ABSS, AFGIF, AGHCF, AGRGF, AGTF, AIGF,
AIRGF and TAP- All Funds
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction on short sales be
eliminated.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the fundamental investment restrictions on short sales were based on
the requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition
to registration. As a result of NSMIA, these restrictions are no longer required
and may be eliminated from the Funds' fundamental investment restrictions.
The Boards have approved the use by certain of the Funds of short sales as an
investment strategy that is disclosed in the Funds' prospectus. The risks of
short selling are also disclosed for such Funds in their prospectus. Alliance
and the Boards believe that it is important for a Fund to have the flexibility
to add or to revise these investment strategies in furtherance of the Fund's
best interests, without the expense and delay of a stockholder vote that would
be required if such strategies were designated as fundamental policies.
Proposal 3.N.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Pledging, Hypothecating,
Mortgaging or Otherwise Encumbering Assets
Applicable Funds:
All Funds Except:
----------------
ABF - Quality Bond Portfolio, ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio, AHYF, AIGF,
AIRGF, AUIF, TAP - AllianceBernstein Tax- Managed Balanced Wealth Strategy, TAP
- AllianceBernstein Tax-Managed Wealth Preservation Strategy, and TAP -
AllianceBernstein Growth Fund
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction prohibiting the
pledging, mortgaging and hypothecating a Fund's assets be eliminated in its
entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the restriction on pledging, mortgaging and hypothecating a Fund's
assets was based on the requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky"
regulators as a condition to registration. As a result of NSMIA, this
restriction is no longer required and may be eliminated from the Funds'
fundamental investment restrictions. Alliance noted that the Funds' current
limits on pledging may conflict with each Fund's ability to borrow money to meet
redemption requests or for temporary emergency purposes or, if Proposal 3.B. is
approved, for any other purpose. This conflict arises because banks may require
borrowers such as the Funds to pledge assets in order to collateralize the
amount borrowed. These collateral requirements are typically for amounts at
least equal to, and often larger than, the principal amount of the loan. The
Funds' current restrictions, however, could be read to prevent these types of
collateral arrangements and could therefore have the effect of reducing the
amount that the Funds may borrow in these situations. Although Alliance
currently plans, on behalf of the Funds, to engage only in pledging in
connection with borrowing money for redemptions or temporary emergency purposes,
pledging assets could decrease the Funds' ability to liquidate assets. If the
Funds pledged a large portion of their assets, the ability to meet redemption
requests or other obligations could be delayed. In any event, the Funds' current
borrowing limits would remain consistent with limits prescribed under the 1940
Act.
Proposal 3.O.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Investments in
Illiquid or Restricted Securities
Applicable Funds:
ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, AGIF and AGTF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding illiquid or
restricted securities be eliminated.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that the restrictions on investments in illiquid or restricted securities
were required to be deemed fundamental based on the requirements formerly
imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to registration. However,
as a result of NSMIA, this restriction is no longer required to be a fundamental
investment restriction. Alliance does not anticipate that the proposed change
will have a material impact on the operation of the Funds since the Funds need
to maintain a certain amount of liquidity to meet redemption requests, the Funds
do not typically hold a significant amount of illiquid or restricted securities
because of the potential for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation. In
addition, under current SEC guidelines a Fund must limit its investments in
illiquid or restricted securities that are illiquid securities to 15% of its
assets.
As a result of Alliance's recommendation, the Boards approved a standardized,
non-fundamental policy consistent with the current SEC guidance that would limit
a Fund's investments in illiquid securities, including restricted securities, to
not more than 15% of its assets or such other amount permitted by SEC
guidelines. Stockholder approval of this non-fundamental policy is not required.
Proposal 3.P.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Investments in Warrants
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio, ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABS,
ACF - Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AGIF, ALCGF, AMCGF, and AMMST
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding limitations
on investments in warrants be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
The Funds listed above have fundamental policies that impose a percentage
limitation on investments in warrants (typically, 5%). In making its
recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance noted that state
"blue sky" regulators, as a condition to registration, imposed these
restrictions. However, as a result of NSMIA, this restriction is no longer
required to be a fundamental investment restriction. Alliance recommended that
the policy restricting a Fund's investments in warrants be eliminated to permit
a Fund the maximum flexibility to invest in warrants to the extent permissible
under applicable law. Warrants are derivative securities that entitle the holder
to purchase another security at a specified price at any time during the life of
the warrants.
A Board may approve investments in warrants by a Fund as an investment strategy
that is disclosed in a Fund's prospectus. Elimination of the fundamental
restriction would give a Fund's Board the flexibility to add or revise this
investment strategy in furtherance of the Fund's best interests without
incurring the expense and delay of a stockholder vote that would be required if
such a strategy was designated as a fundamental policy.
Proposal 3.Q.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding
Investments in Unseasoned Companies
Applicable Funds:
ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABS, AEXR, AGIF, ALCGF, and AMCGF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction prohibiting
investments in issuers with less than three years of operations be eliminated in
its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that the fundamental
investment restriction prohibiting investments in issuers that have been in
business for less than three years was based on the requirements formerly
imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to registration. As a
result of NSMIA, this restriction is no longer required and may be eliminated
from a Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. In recommending the
elimination of the unseasoned issuers restriction, Alliance stated its belief
that the elimination of the restriction would permit a Fund to further avail
itself of investment opportunities in smaller capitalization, less seasoned
companies. To the extent that a Fund invests in these types of issuers, it may
be subject to greater risks. Such companies may not have experience in operating
through prolonged periods of economic difficulty and, as a result, the price of
their shares may be more volatile than the shares of companies that have longer
operating histories.
Related or substantively duplicative policies with respect to investment in
unseasoned issuers would be eliminated upon the approval of the Proposal.
Proposal 3.R.
Elimination of Requirement to Invest in Specific Investments
Applicable Funds:
ABS, AAGIT, AGTF, and ALCGF
Proposal:
Eliminate policies that require a Fund to be "balanced" or invest 80% of its
assets in a specific investment.
Reasons for the Proposed Elimination:
ABS has a fundamental policy that requires it to be a "balanced fund."
AAGIT has a fundamental policy that states that the "Fund invests at least 80%
of its net assets in debt securities rated investment grade (at least BBB by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or Fitch Ratings, or Baa by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. or better) at the time of investment and may invest up to 20% of
its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities rated, at the time of
investment, at least B- by S&P or Fitch or B3 by Moody's, or, if, at the time of
investment, unrate, determined by the Adviser to be of equivalent quality."
AGTF has a fundamental policy that states that "under normal circumstances, the
Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of companies that use
technology extensively in the development of new or improved products or
processes".
ALCGF has a fundamental policy that requires that the Fund normally "invest at
least 80% of its total assets in the equity securities of U.S. companies".
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted these policies were
not required to be fundamental by Rule 35d-1 (the "names rule"). The names rule
requires an investment company with a name that suggests that it focuses its
investments in a particular type of investment have a policy to invest at least
80% of its assets in the type of investments suggested by the name. The rule,
however, does not require a Fund's named investment policy to be fundamental.
Alliance proposed, and the Board approved, that each Fund's named investment
policy be eliminated consistent with the principle that policies should not be
fundamental where they are not required to be. Where required by the names rule,
such as for AAGIT or AGTF, the Funds have an 80% non-fundamental investment
policy.
Proposal 3.S.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding
65% Limitations in Certain Investments
Applicable Funds:
ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio,
AMIF - Insured California Portfolio, AMIF - Insured National Portfolio, and AUIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that a Fund's fundamental 65% investment policy be eliminated.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio has a fundamental policy restriction that states
that the Fund pursues its objective by investing at least 65% of its total
assets in U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements and forward
contracts relating to U.S. Government securities.
ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio has a fundamental policy restriction that states
that the Fund follows a policy of maintaining at least 65% of its net assets
invested in debt securities.
AMIF - Insured National Portfolio and Insured California Portfolio each has a
fundamental restriction that states that the Fund under normal circumstances
invests at least 65% of its total assets in insured securities.
AUIF has a fundamental restriction that states that the Fund normally invests at
least 65% of its total assets in securities of companies in the utilities
industry.
In making its recommendation to the Boards, Alliance noted that prior to the
adoption of the names rule, SEC staff guidance required that a fund with a name
that suggests that it focuses on a particular type of investment to invest at
least 65% of its assets in such investments. Although these 65% policies were
not required to be fundamental policies, the Funds identified above adopted
fundamental 65% policies. After adoption of the names rule, the Funds adopted
80% non-fundamental policies but did not seek a shareholder vote to eliminate
their fundamental 65% policies.
Elimination of these redundant 65% fundamental policies will give the Boards the
flexibility to change names and investment strategies of the Funds in response
to changes in market conditions without the expense and time delay associated
with obtaining a stockholder vote, although stockholders will receive at least
60 days' prior written notice of any change.
Proposal 3.T.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Purchasing Securities
of Issuers in which Officers or Directors/ Partners Have an Interest
Applicable Funds:
ABF - Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABS, ACF - Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AEXR,
AGIF, ALCGF, and AMCGF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding purchasing
securities of companies in which a Fund's officers, Directors or ' partners have
an interest be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate this policy, Alliance
noted that this restriction was originally adopted to address the requirements
formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to registration.
As a result of NSMIA, this restriction is no longer required and may be
eliminated from the Funds' fundamental investment restrictions. Eliminating this
restriction would increase Alliance's flexibility when choosing investments on a
Fund's behalf. Alliance further noted that it believes that the restriction is
unnecessary because each Fund's Code of Ethics adequately covers and provides
for the monitoring of the Fund's securities purchases and security ownership by
the Fund's officers and directors. In addition, Alliance noted that securities
purchases by a Fund that may pose conflicts of interest are subject to the
restrictions imposed by Section 17 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder.
Proposal 3.U.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Purchasing or Selling
Securities Through Interested Parties
Applicable Funds:
AMCGF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding purchases
or sales through interested persons be eliminated.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
The Fund has a fundamental policy that prohibits it from buying or selling any
securities from, to or through its officers or directors or other "interested
persons" except for purchases or sales of Fund shares, or in transactions on a
securities exchange including only regular exchange commissions and charges. In
making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate the policy, Alliance noted
that the 1940 Act does not require that this prohibition be a fundamental policy
of the Fund. Furthermore, this restriction basically restates existing law
because the 1940 Act generally prohibits principal trades between the Fund and
interested parties.
Proposal 3.V.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Restricting Option Transactions
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ACF - Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AEXR, ALCGF, and
AMIF II - All Portfolios
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restrictions regarding option
transactions be eliminated in their entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restrictions:
The Fund's listed above have fundamental policies that impose various
restrictions on options transactions, including prohibitions on the writing of
put and call options except as in accordance with a Fund's investment objective
and policies, or the purchase of puts, calls, straddles, spreads and
combinations that exceed 5% of a Fund's total assets. ALCGF has additional
restrictions on options with respect to: (i) liquidity, (ii) premium payments
(iii) participation in options over-the-counter when they are available on an
exchange, and (iv) the persons who may serve as a counterparties in
over-the-counter transactions.
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate these policies, Alliance
noted that these restrictions were originally adopted to address the
requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to
registration. As a result of NSMIA, these restrictions are no longer required
and may be eliminated from the Funds' fundamental investment restrictions. None
of these restrictions are required to be fundamental under the 1940 Act.
Consequently, Alliance recommended that these policies be eliminated.
The Boards may approve investments in options as an investment strategy that is
disclosed in the Funds' prospectus. Elimination of these fundamental
restrictions would give a Fund's Board the flexibility to add or revise this
investment strategy in furtherance of the Fund's best interests without
incurring the delay and expense of seeking stockholder approval.
Proposal 3.W.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding
Purchasing Voting or Other Securities of Issuers
Applicable Funds:
AEMDF, AEXR, AMCGF, and AUIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction regarding purchasing
voting or other securities be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
AEMDF and AUIF each have a fundamental policy with regard to voting securities
that states that "[t]he Fund may not purchase more than 10% of any class of the
voting securities of any one issuer." AMCGF has a policy that states that "[t]he
Fund may not acquire more than 10% of the voting or other securities of any one
issuer." AEXR has a fundamental policy that states that "[t]he Fund may not
invest in more than 10% of any one class of an issuer's outstanding securities
(exclusive of securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities)."
In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate each of these policies,
Alliance noted that a Fund is not required to have a fundamental policy on its
investment in voting or other securities except implicitly in the context of its
noting whether it is a diversified fund. A diversified fund may not, with
respect to 75% of its total assets: (1) invest more than 5% of its total assets
in the securities of one issuer, or (2) hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of such issuer. Alliance noted that AEMDF is not a diversified
fund and consequently, it is not subject to the 10% test. Because these
restrictions are unnecessary in light of the 1940 Act's diversification tests
and the Funds' fundamental diversification policy, Alliance recommended that
they be eliminated.
Each of the Funds must also meet certain diversification requirements under the
Internal Revenue Code in order to qualify for beneficial tax treatment as a
regulated investment company. These diversification requirements provide, in
part, that as to 50% of a Fund's assets, investments in any one issuer cannot
exceed 5% of the Fund's assets and the Fund cannot hold more than 10% of the
issuer's outstanding voting securities at the end of each quarter. Each Fund
intends to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for tax purposes
and elimination of the fundamental policy regarding purchasing voting securities
will not affect the Fund's status as a RIC.
Proposal 3.X.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Percentage Limitation On
Investments In Repurchase Agreements
Applicable Funds:
AMIF - Insured California Portfolio
Proposal:
It is proposed that the fundamental investment restriction limiting repurchase
agreements with any one dealer to 5% of the Fund's assets be eliminated in its
entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
In making its recommendation to the Board to eliminate the policy, Alliance
noted that restrictions limiting the Fund's ability to invest in repurchase
agreements are not required to be fundamental under the 1940 Act. A repurchase
agreement arises when a buyer purchases a security and simultaneously agrees to
resell it to the vendor at an agreed-upon future date, normally a day or a few
days later. The resale price is greater than the purchase price, reflecting an
agreed-upon interest rate for the period the buyer's money is invested in the
security. A repurchase agreement may be seen as a loan by the Fund secured by
the security subject to the repurchase agreement. Alliance recommended that the
policy restricting the Fund's investments in repurchase agreements be eliminated
to permit the Fund the maximum flexibility to invest in repurchase agreements to
the extent permissible under applicable law. Alliance also recommended
elimination of this fundamental restriction to be consistent with the proposed
modification to the Fund's fundamental investment restriction on making loans.
As discussed above in Proposal 3.G., the modification to the fundamental policy
on loans provides in effect that the Fund may enter into repurchase agreements.
That proposed policy does not impose any limitations on a Fund's ability to
enter into repurchase agreements but it is not expected that this flexibility to
invest without limitation subject to applicable 1940 Act limitations will have a
significant effect on the management of the Fund.
Proposal 3.Y.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Transactions Effected
Through Affiliated Broker-Dealer
Applicable Funds:
ALCGF
Proposal:
It is proposed that a fundamental investment policy requirement that securities
transactions effected through an affiliated broker-dealer be fair and reasonable
be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
The Fund's fundamental investment restriction with regard to the use of
affiliated broker-dealers states that: "[a]ny securities transaction effected
through an affiliated broker-dealer will be fair and reasonable in compliance
with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act." In making its recommendation to the Board
to eliminate the policy, Alliance noted that policies regarding the use of
affiliated broker-dealers are not required to be fundamental policies under the
1940 Act. Moreover, this fundamental policy is unnecessary in that it is
redundant with the requirements of Rule 17e-1. As required by the Rule's
provisions, the Fund's Board has adopted Rule 17e-1 Procedures that are
reasonably designed to ensure that commissions, fees or other remuneration for
transactions effected through a Fund's affiliated broker-dealers will be fair
and reasonable. As a result, Alliance recommended that this fundamental
investment restriction be eliminated because it is unnecessary.
Proposal 3.Z.
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding
Special Meetings Called by Stockholders
Applicable Funds:
ALCGF
Proposal:
It is proposed that this fundamental investment restriction, which provides that
special meetings of stockholders for any purpose may be called by 10% of the
stockholders be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Restriction:
Policies regarding special meetings are not required to be fundamental under the
1940 Act. Special meetings of stockholders are regulated under state law and a
Fund's Bylaws. In making its recommendation to the Board to eliminate the
policy, Alliance noted that the elimination is consistent with the effort to
standardize the fundamental policies across the AllianceBernstein Fund Complex.
If this proposal is approved by stockholders, 10% of the stockholders will no
longer be able to call special meetings.
Proposal 3.Z.1
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Regarding Investment Grade Securities
Applicable Funds:
ABS and AGIF
Proposal:
It is proposed that this fundamental investment policy on investments in
investment grade securities be eliminated in its entirety.
Reasons for the Elimination of the Investment Policy:
ABS has a fundamental policy "not to invest only in investment grade
securities." AGIF has a fundamental policy to invest "only in investment grade
securities." In making its recommendation to the Boards to eliminate the policy,
Alliance noted that these fundamental investment policies were based on the
requirements formerly imposed by state "blue sky" regulators as a condition to
registration. As a result of NSMIA, this policy is no longer required and may be
eliminated. If shareholders approve elimination of these policies, the Funds
will have greater flexibility to invest in lower-rated or "high-yield"
securities. A Fund would disclose its policy regarding investments in high yield
securities as part of its investment strategy disclosure in its prospectus. AGIF
has no current intention to invest significantly in high yield securities. ABS
expects to invest up to 20% of its fixed-income allocation in high-yield
securities. As an operational guideline, no more than 25% of its investments in
high yield securities will be rated CCC or below by Standard & Poor's Rating
Services. High yield securities are subject to greater credit risk or loss of
principal and interest than higher-rated securities. These securities may also
be subject to liquidity risk because the market for lower-rated securities may
be thinner and less active than that for higher-rated securities.
Approval of each of Proposals 3.A. - 3.Z.1. by a Fund requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of a Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, which means the lesser of (i)
67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present or represented by
proxy, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are
present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund ("1940 Act Majority"). If the stockholders of a Fund do
not approve a Proposal regarding a fundamental investment restriction, the
Fund's current fundamental investment restriction will remain the same. The Board, including the Independent Directors, of each Fund
unanimously recommends that the stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposals 3.A through
3.Z.1.Proposal 4.
PROPOSAL FOURFIVE
CHANGES TO FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES REGARDING COMMODITIES
ALL FUNDS (EXCEPT ABF-MULTI-ASSET INFLATION STRATEGY, ACF-MARKET NEUTRAL
STRATEGY-U.S. AND ACF-MARKET NEUTRAL STRATEGY-GLOBAL)
Section 8(b) of the 1940 Act requires a fund to disclose whether it has a
policy to engage in certain activities. Under the 1940 Act, these policies are
"fundamental" and may not be changed without a stockholder vote. The Board
considered and approved the Adviser's recommendation for the modification of
the fundamental commodities policies of the Funds.
The Funds' current fundamental commodities policies prohibit the purchase or
sale of commodities regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
("CFTC") under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") except for futures contracts
and options on futures contracts. The Funds' fundamental commodities policies
reflected legal requirements in effect at the time the current policy was
adopted. The derivatives transactions regulated as commodities by the CFTC
under the CEA were futures and options on futures and options on physical
commodities. Swaps, including forward currency exchange contracts, were
specifically excluded from regulation by the CFTC.
As part of its recent financial reform initiative, Congress recently enacted
legislation that, among other things, amends the CEA to subject swaps,
including forward currency exchange contracts, to CFTC regulation. As a result,
the current commodities policy, which specifically refers to commodities
regulated by the CFTC, could potentially limit the Funds' flexibility to engage
in certain swaps and forward currency exchange contracts following the adoption
of regulations implementing the legislation. In order to clarify that the Funds
may continue to engage in the same derivatives transactions that they are
permitted to engage in today, regardless of whether a governmental agency may
regulate these instruments in the future, the Adviser recommended, and the
Directors approved, the following fundamental policy:
The Fund may purchase or sell commodities or options thereon to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
The proposed fundamental policy would make it clear that the Funds may continue
to engage in swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, as well as futures,
options on futures, and any other commodity or commodities contracts. The
Funds' investment in commodities will be reflected in investment policies
approved by the Directors and disclosed in a Fund's Prospectuses and SAIs. The
Adviser will continue to manage the Funds under the policies previously
approved by the Directors and the proposed amendments would not result in a
change to a Fund's risk exposure. The amended policy would permit Directors to
modify the Funds' investment policies to reflect changes in statutory and
regulatory requirements without incurring the time and expense of obtaining
stockholder approval to change the policy and avoid issues relating to any
future changes in the regulation of commodities.
Approval of Proposal 4.A.

The Board considered and AMIF II - All Portfolios
Stockholders are being asked to approveapproved the Adviser's recommendation for the
reclassification of the Funds'

non-fundamental. In making this
recommendation, Alliance advised the Boards thatThe 1940 Act does not require the Funds' investment objectives
are not required by the 1940 Act to be a fundamental policypolicies that isare changeable only by a shareholderstockholder vote. The Proposal to reclassify these
objectives as non-fundamental is consistent with the changes proposed above,
which are intended to eliminate or reclassify any fundamental policy of a Fund
that is not required to be fundamental under the 1940 Act. The proposed
reclassificationsThis
proposal would give the BoardsDirectors the flexibility to revise a Fund'sthe Funds'
investment objectiveobjectives to respond to changed market conditions or other
circumstances in a timely manner without the delay and expense of obtaining a
shareholderstockholder vote. If reclassified as a non-fundamentalWe are not proposing to change the investment objectives.
USLC's investment objective is the Boards may change a Fund'ssame as the other AB Growth Funds, whose
investment objectives are not fundamental. AGCF's fundamental investment
objective requires it to invest at least 80% of its total assets in Greater
China companies. However, AGCF is subject to Rule 35d-1, the future without
stockholder approval. If this Proposal is approved, Alliance intendsso-called "Names
Rule", which also requires it to have a policy to invest at least 80% of its
assets in securities of Greater China companies. While the Directors would have
the flexibility to change the 80% requirement in its investment objective, it
would still be required to have an 80% policy as long as its name included the
reference to Greater China.
As with other investment objectives, we will provide stockholders with advance
notice of not less than 3060 days of any subsequent material change to a Fund's
investment objective.
The Board, including the Independent Directors, of each Fund unanimously
recommends that the stockholders of each affected Fund vote FOR Proposal 4.A.
Approval of this Proposal 6 requires the affirmative vote of the stockholders of a 1940 Act Majority Vote with respect to each
Fund. If the stockholders of a Fund do
not approve the reclassification of the Fund's fundamental investment objective,
the investment objective will remain fundamental, and the Fund would be required
to solicit stockholder votes each time it sought to modify a Fund's investment
objective.
Proposal 4.B.
Change in a Fund's Investment Objective
and Reclassification of Revised Investment Objective as Non-fundamental
Applicable Funds:
AAGIT, ABF-Corporate Bond Portfolio, ABF-Quality Bond Portfolio, ABF - U.S.
Government Portfolio, ABS, ACF - Small Cap Growth Portfolio, AEMDF, AFGIF,
AGHCF, AGIF, AGTF, AHYF, AInstF - Real Estate Investment Institutional Fund,
ALCGF, AMCGF, AMIF - All Portfolios, AMIF II - All Portfolios, AREIF, AUIF, and
TAP-Growth Fund
In addition to reclassifying the Funds' investment objectives as
non-fundamental, Alliance recommended that the Board change certain Funds'
investment objectives in order to clarify and standardize these Funds'
investment objectives.
Based on recommendations from Alliance, the Boards of the affected Funds
approved and are recommending to stockholders changes to a Fund's investment
objective as detailed below:
1. AAGIT
Current Investment Objective: Proposed Investment Objective:

available from a portfolio of debt
securities issued or guaranteed by the
governments of the United States,
Canada, or Mexico, their political
subdivisions (included Canadian
Provinces but excluding the states of
the United States), agencies,
instrumentalities or authorities.
The proposed change to the Fund's investment objective is intended to identify
the Fund as primarily seeking to generate income. The change to the Fund's
investment objective was part of other changes Alliance recommended to broaden
and globalize the Fund's investment strategy. These changes do not require a
stockholder vote. As part of these changes, Alliance recommended that the Fund
be renamed as "AllianceBernstein Global Government Income Trust, Inc." Alliance
also recommended that the Fund's investments no longer focus on debt securities
of issuers in North, Central or South America. Instead, the Fund would invest at
least 65% of its assets in debt securities issued by governments of countries
that are members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
("OECD"). Alliance advised the Board that there are 30 countries that are
members of the OECD, with three-quarters of these countries considered to be
developed countries. Alliance advised the Board that the flexibility to consider
a wider array of investments would improve the Fund's risk/return profile and
benefit investors.
2. ABF-Corporate Bond Portfolio

(Fundamental) (Non-fundamental)
The Fund's investment objective is The Fund's investment objective is to

secondarily to increase its capital

in order to preserve and, if possible,
increase the purchasing power of each
shareholder's investment.
The proposed change in the Fund's investment objective is intended to more
clearly identify the Fund as primarily a total return investment vehicle.
Alliance recommended this change to the Board because, through its investments
in debt securities with longer maturities and also to a certain extent in
lower-rated securities, price appreciation is an important component of the
Fund's performance.
3. ABF-Quality Bond Portfolio

The proposed change to the Fund's investment objective is intended to identify
the Fund as seeking to generate both income and price appreciation. The change
to the Fund's investment objective was part of other changes Alliance
recommended to refocus the Fund's investment strategy on a broader range of debt
securities, including below investment grade debt securities, rather than
primarily on investment grade securities.
As part of the changes, Alliance recommended that the Fund be renamed as the
"AllianceBernstein Bond Fund, Inc. - Intermediate Bond Portfolio." In addition
to investing in below-investment grade securities, Alliance recommended that the
Fund be able to take advantage of broader opportunities to invest in foreign
fixed-income securities, including investing up to 25% of its assets in non-U.S.
Dollar-denominated securities. Alliance advised the Board that these changes
were intended to improve the yield available to the Fund's stockholders without
a significant increase in long-term volatility or risks.
4. ABF - U.S. Government Portfolio

The proposed change to the Fund's investment objective eliminates high return as
an investment objective. Alliance recommended this change to the Board in order
to simplify and standardize the objectives as well as to give the Fund greater
flexibility in implementing its investment strategies.

The proposed changes are intended to clarify and simplify the Portfolios'
investment objectives as well as to standardize the investment objectives among
the fixed-income group of AllianceBernstein Funds. Alliance recommended the
proposed changes to the AMIF and AMIF II Portfolios' objectives, except for the
AMIF - Insured California Portfolio, to eliminate specific references to
investments in high-yielding, predominantly medium quality municipal securities.
Alliance noted that the references to specific investments would be disclosed in
the Portfolios' prospectuses as part of the discussion of their principal
investment strategies. In addition, Alliance noted that the current reference to
"high-yielding" municipal securities may now have the different, and possibly
misleading, connotation of investments in below-investment grade securities than
the reference had when many of the Portfolios were organized.

recommends that the stockholders of each Fund vote FOR Proposal 4.B. Approval of
this Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the stockholders of a 1940 Act
Majority with respect to each Fund. If the stockholders of a Fund do not approve
the reclassification of the Fund's fundamental investment objective and the
change to its investment objective, the investment objective will remain
fundamental and unchanged, and the Fund would be required to solicit stockholder
votes each time it sought to modify a Fund's investment objective.6.

The Prior Auditor's reports on the financial statements of the Auditor Change
Funds for their last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit
scope or accounting principles. During the period the Prior Auditor was
engaged, there were no disagreements with the Prior Auditor on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which would have caused it to make reference to that
matter in connection with its reports for the Auditor Change Funds or
reportable events as described in paragraph (v) of Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation
S-K. The Auditor Change Funds have requested that the Prior Auditor furnish
them with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with
the above statements. A copy of the letter is attached as Appendix E and
similar letters will be filed as Exhibit 77 to the Auditor Change Funds' first
Form N-SAR filed following the Prior Auditor's dismissal.

opportunity to make a statement and to respond to appropriate questions from
the stockholders. Representatives of the Prior Auditor are not expected to
attend the Meeting.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms' Fees
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by the independent
registered public accounting firms for each Fund's last two fiscal years
(except for Funds that only recently commenced operations and have not yet
completed a fiscal year) for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit
of the Fund's annual financial statements included in the Fund's annual report(s)report
to stockholders; (ii) assurance and related services that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and
are not reported under (i), which include advice and education on accounting
and auditing issues, consent letters, and in the case of certain of the Funds,
include multi-class distribution testing and;testing; (iii) tax compliance, tax advice and

Fund, Alliancethe Adviser and entities that control, are controlled by or under common
control with Alliancethe Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Service
Affiliates"), which include conducting an annual internal control report
pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70. No other services were
provided to any Fund during this period.

2003 (to subsequently allow for more efficient reporting). Consequently, in such
cases, the amounts recorded for 2003 are for periods substantially shorter than
twelve months.

Governance and Nominating Committee Charter
For
Registered Investment Companies in the Alliance Complex
(each, a "Company")
The Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of the Company, has
adopted this Charter to govern the activities of the Governance and Nominating
Committee (the "Committee") of the Board. This Charter supersedes the Nominating
Committee Charter previously adopted by the Board.
Statement of Purposes and Responsibilities
- ------------------------------------------
The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in carrying out
its responsibilities with respect to governance of the Company and the
selection, nomination, evaluation and compensation of members of the Board in
accordance with applicable laws, regulations, stock exchange requirements and
industry best practices. The primary responsibilities of the Committee are:
o to monitor and evaluate industry and legal developments affecting
corporate governance and recommend from time to time appropriate
policies and procedures for adoption by the Board;
o to monitor, evaluate and make recommendations to the Board with
respect to the structure, size and functioning of the Board and
its committees;
o to identify, consider and recommend to the Board for nomination
and re-nomination individuals who are qualified to become and
continue as members of the Board or its committees, and to
propose qualifications, policies and procedures relating thereto,
including modifications to those set forth in the Company's
Bylaws, resolutions of the Board and this Charter;
o to assist the Board in establishing standards and policies for
continuing Board membership and procedures for the evaluation of
the performance of the Board and its committees;
o to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding
compensation of Board and committee members and staffing for
Board and committee chairmen; and
o review and recommend to the Board appropriate insurance coverage.
Organization and Operation
- --------------------------
The Committee shall be composed of as many members as the Board shall
determine in accordance with the Company's Bylaws, but in any event not less
than two. The Committee must consist entirely of Board members who are not
"interested persons" of the Company ("Independent Directors"), as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The
Board may remove or replace any member of the Committee at any time in its sole
discretion. One or more members of the Committee may be designated by the Board
as the Committee's chairman or co-chairman, as the case may be.
Committee meetings shall be held in accordance with the Company's
Bylaws as and when the Committee or the Board determines necessary or
appropriate. Except as may be otherwise set forth in the Company's Bylaws or the
Board may otherwise provide, the chairman, a co-chairman or any two members of
the Committee may set the time and place of its meeting.
The Committee may, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its
duties and responsibilities to subcommittees of the Committee, which may consist
of one or more members.
The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to
discharge its duties and responsibilities, including the authority to select,
retain, terminate and approve the fees and other retention terms of special
counsel or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate, without
seeking approval of the Board or management.
Governance and Evaluation
- -------------------------
The Committee will assist the Board in vetting the independence of
Board members and the financial expertise of Audit Committee members. It will
review and make recommendations to the Board from time to time on corporate
governance matters, such as:
o size of the Board and desired qualifications and expertise of
Board members;
o appropriate Board committees, their size and membership;
o scheduling, agendas and minuting of Board and committee meetings;
o adequacy and timeliness of information provided to the Board and
committees;
o expectations of Board members, including attendance at meetings,
continuing education and ownership of shares of the Company;
o periodic evaluations of Board and committee performance; and
o retirement, rotation and re-nomination policies for Board and
committee members.
Nominations for Board Membership
- --------------------------------
The Committee will identify, evaluate and recommend to the Board
candidates for membership on the Board in accordance with policies and
procedures of the Company in effect from time to time. The Committee may, but is
not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Company's expense to
identify potential candidates.
Qualifications for Nominees to the Board
The Committee may take into account a wide variety of factors in
considering candidates for membership on the Board, including (but not limited
to): (i) the candidate's knowledge in matters relating to the investment company
industry; (ii) any experience possessed by the candidate as a director/trustee
or senior officer of other public companies; (iii) the candidate's educational
background; (iv) the candidate's reputation for high ethical standards and
personal and professional integrity; (v) any specific financial, technical or
other expertise possessed by the candidate, and the extent to which such
expertise would complement the Board's existing mix of skills and
qualifications; (vi) the candidate's perceived ability to contribute to the
on-going functions of the Board, including the candidate's ability and
commitment to attend meetings regularly, work collaboratively with other members
of the Board and carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the
Company; (vii) the candidate's ability to qualify as an Independent Director for
purposes of the 1940 Act and any other standards of independence that may be
relevant to the Company; and (viii) such other factors as the Committee
determines to be relevant in light of the existing composition of the Board and
any anticipated vacancies or other factors. It is the Board's policy that Board
members normally may not serve in a similar capacity on the board of a
registered investment company that is not sponsored by the Company's investment
adviser or its affiliates.
Identification of Nominees
In identifying potential nominees for the Board, the Committee may
consider candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: (i) the
Company's current Board members, (ii) the Company's officers, (iii) the
Company's investment adviser(s), (iv) the Company's shareholders (see below) and
(v) any other source the Committee deems to be appropriate. The Committee will
not consider self-nominated candidates.
Consideration of Candidates Recommended by Shareholders
The Committee will consider and evaluate nominee candidates properly
submitted by shareholders on the same basis as it considers and evaluates
candidates recommended by other sources. Appendix A to this Charter, as it may
be amended from time to time by the Committee, sets forth qualifications and
procedures that must be met or followed by shareholders to properly submit a
nominee candidate to the Committee (recommendations not properly submitted will
not be considered by the Committee).
Compensation and Insurance
- --------------------------
The Committee shall evaluate periodically, and make recommendations to
the Board with respect to, the level and structure of the compensation of Board
members (including compensation for serving on committees of the Board or as
chairman or co-chairman of the Board or a committee) and the appropriateness and
level of staffing for the Chairman of the Board and committee chairmen. The
Committee shall consider, to the extent reasonably available, industry practices
for compensation of members and chairmen of boards and committees and in
providing staff to such chairmen.
The Committee shall also evaluate periodically and make
recommendations to the Board with respect to the adequacy and appropriateness of
insurance coverage and premiums.
Appendix A
----------
Procedures for the Committee's
Consideration of Candidates Submitted by Shareholders
-----------------------------------------------------
(amended and restated as of February 8, 2005)
A candidate for nomination as a Board member submitted by a
shareholder will not be deemed to be properly submitted to the Committee for the
Committee's consideration unless the following qualifications have been met and
procedures followed:
1. A shareholder or group of shareholders (referred to in either
case as a "Nominating Shareholder") that, individually or as a
group, has beneficially owned at least 5% of the Company's common
stock or shares of beneficial interest for at least two years
prior to the date the Nominating Shareholder submits a candidate
for nomination as a Board member may submit one candidate to the
Committee for consideration at an annual meeting of shareholders.
2. The Nominating Shareholder must submit any such recommendation (a
"Shareholder Recommendation") in writing to the Company, to the
attention of the Secretary, at the address of the principal
executive offices of the Company.
3. The Shareholder Recommendation must be delivered to or mailed and
received at the principal executive offices of the Company not
less than 120 calendar days before the date of the Company's
proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the
previous year's annual meeting. If an annual meeting of
shareholders was not held in the previous year, the Shareholder
Recommendation must be so delivered or mailed and received within
a reasonable amount of time before the Company begins to print
and mail its proxy materials. Public notice of such upcoming
annual meeting of shareholders may be given in a shareholder
report or other mailing to shareholders or by any other means
deemed by the Committee or the Board to be reasonably calculated
to inform shareholders.
4. The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) a statement in
writing setting forth (A) the name, date of birth, business
address and residence address of the person recommended by the
Nominating Shareholder (the "candidate"); (B) any position or
business relationship of the candidate, currently and within the
preceding five years, with the Nominating Shareholder or an
Associated Person of the Nominating Shareholder; (C) the class or
series and number of all shares of the Company owned of record or
beneficially by the candidate, as reported to such Nominating
Shareholder by the candidate; (D) any other information regarding
the candidate that is required to be disclosed about a nominee in
a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in
connection with the solicitation of proxies for election of
members of the Board pursuant to Section 20 of the 1940 Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (E) whether the
Nominating Shareholder believes that the candidate is or will be
an "interested person" of the Company (as defined in the 1940
Act) and, if believed not to be an "interested person,"
information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for
the Company to make such determination; and (F) information as to
the candidate's knowledge of the investment company industry,
experience as a director/trustee or senior officer of public
companies, memberships on the boards of other registered
investment companies and educational background; (ii) the written
and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and
to serve as a member of the Board if elected; (iii) the written
and signed agreement of the candidate to complete a
directors'/trustees' and officers' questionnaire if elected; (iv)
the Nominating Shareholder's name as it appears on the Company's
books and consent to be named as such by the Company; (v) the
class or series and number of all shares of the Company owned
beneficially and of record by the Nominating Shareholder and any
Associated Person of the Nominating Shareholder and the dates on
which such shares were acquired, specifying the number of shares
owned beneficially but not of record by each and identifying the
nominee holders for the Nominating Shareholder and each such
Associated Person of the Nominating Shareholder; and (vi) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between the
Nominating Shareholder, the candidate and/or any other person or
persons (including their names) pursuant to which the
recommendation is being made by the Nominating Shareholder.
"Associated Person of the Nominating Shareholder" as used in this
paragraph 4 means any person required to be identified pursuant
to clause (vi) and any other person controlling, controlled by or
under common control with, directly or indirectly, the Nominating
Shareholder or any person required to be identified pursuant to
clause (vi).
5. The Committee may require the Nominating Shareholder to furnish
such other information as it may reasonably require or deem
necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to
paragraph 4 above or to determine the qualifications and
eligibility of the candidate proposed by the Nominating
Shareholder to serve on the Board. If the Nominating Shareholder
fails to provide such other information in writing within seven
days of receipt of written request from the Committee, the
recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not
properly submitted and will not be considered by the Committee.

FIFTH: (1) The Corporation is authorized to issue [_________________]
[______]([_________________]______])
shares, all of which shall be Common Stock, $[___]______] par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), and having an aggregate par value of [_________________][______] dollars
($[__________]______]), classified and designated as follows:
Class [___] Class [___] Class [___] Class [___]
Name of Series Common Stock Common Stock Common Stock Common Stock
- --------------
CLASS [__] CLASS [__] CLASS [__] CLASS [__]
NAME OF SERIES COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK COMMON STOCK
----------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[Portfolio] and any other portfolio hereafter established are each referred
to herein as a "Series." The Class [___][__________] Common Stock of a Series, the
Class [___][__________] Common Stock of a Series, the Class [____][__________] Common
Stock of a Series, the Class [___][__________] Common Stock of a Series and any
Class of a Series hereafter established are each referred herein as a "Class."
If shares of one Series or Class of stock are classified or reclassified into
shares of another Series or Class of stock pursuant to this Article FIFTH,
paragraph (2), the number of authorized shares of the former Series or Class
shall be automatically decreased and the number of shares of the latter Series
or Class shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of shares
so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of shares of stock
of all Series and Classes that the Corporation has
authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of shares of stock
set forth in the first sentence of this Article FIFTH, paragraph (1).
(2) The Board of Directors may classify any unissued shares of
Common Stock from time to time in one or more Series or Classes of stock. The
Board of Directors may reclassify any previously classified but unissued shares
of any Series or Class of stock from time to time in one or more Series or
Class of stock. Prior to issuance of classified or reclassified shares of any
Series or Class, the Board of Directors by resolution shall: (a) designate that
Series or Class to distinguish it from all other Series or Classes of stock of
the Corporation; (b) specify the number of shares to be included in the Series
or Class; (c) set or change, subject to the express terms of any Series or
Class of stock of the Corporation outstanding at the time, the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of
redemption for each Series or Class; and (d) cause the Corporation to file
articles supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of
Maryland ("SDAT"). Any of the terms of any Series or Class of stock set or
changed pursuant to clause (c) of this paragraph (2) may be made dependent upon
facts or events ascertainable outside the charter of the Corporation (the
"Charter"), including determinations by the Board of Directors or other facts
or events within the control of the Corporation, and may vary among holders
thereof, provided that the manner in which such facts, events or variations
shall operate upon the terms of such Series or Class of stock is clearly and
expressly set forth in the articles supplementary or other charter document
filed with the SDAT.
(3) As more fully set forth hereafter, the assets and liabilities
and the income and expenses of each Series or Class of the Corporation's stock
shall be determined separately from those of each other Series or Class of the
Corporation's stock and, accordingly, the net asset value, the dividends and
distributions payable to holders, and the amounts distributable in the event of
liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation to holders of shares of the
Corporation's stock may vary from Series to Series or Class to Class. In the
event that there are any assets, income, earnings, profits or proceeds which
are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular series
(collectively, "General Assets"), such General Assets shall be allocated by or
under the direction of the Board of Directors to and among one or more Series
and Classes in such a manner and on such basis as the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion shall determine.
(4) Except as otherwise provided herein, all consideration
received by the Corporation for the issuance or sale of shares of a Series or
Class of the Corporation's stock, together with all funds derived from any
investment and reinvestment thereof and any General Assets allocated to such
Series or Class, shall irrevocably belong to that Series or Class for all
purposes, subject only to any automatic conversion of one Series or Class of
stock into another, as hereinafter provided for, and to the rights of creditors
of such Series or Class, and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of
the Corporation, and are herein referred to as "assets belonging to" such
Series or Class.
(5) The assets belonging to each Series or Class shall be charged
with the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred or contracted
for or otherwise existing with respect to such Series or Class and with such
Series' or Class' share of the general liabilities of the Corporation, in the
latter case in the proportion that the net asset value of such Series or Class
bears to the net asset value of all Series and Classes or as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with applicable law. The
determination of the Board of Directors shall be conclusive as to the
allocation of debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses, including accrued
expenses and reserves, to a Series or Class. The debts, liabilities,
obligations and expenses incurred or contracted for or otherwise existing with
respect to a Series or Class are enforceable with respect to that Series or
Class only and not against the assets of the Corporation generally or any other
Series or Class of stock of the Corporation.
(6) The assets attributable to the Classes of a Series shall be
invested in the same investment portfolio of the Corporation, and
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of paragraphs (4) and (5) of this
Article FIFTH, the allocation of investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses and expenses and liabilities of the Corporation and of
any Series among the Classes of Common Stock of each Series shall be determined
by the Board of Directors in a manner that is consistent with the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the rules and regulations thereunder, and the
interpretations thereof, in each case as from time to time amended, modified or
superseded (the "Investment Company Act"). The determination of the Board of
Directors shall be conclusive as to the allocation of investment income and
realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, expenses and liabilities,
including accrued expenses and reserves, and assets to one or more particular
Series or Classes.
(7) Shares of each Class of stock shall be entitled to such
dividends or distributions, in cash, property or additional shares of stock or
the same or another Series or Class, as may be authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors (by resolution adopted from time to time, or pursuant to
a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency
as the Board of Directors may determine, after providing that such dividend or
distribution shall not violate Section 2-311 of the Maryland General
Corporation Law) and declared by the Corporation with respect to such Class.
The nature of in-kind property distributions may vary among the holders of a
Class or Series, provided that the amount of the distribution per share, as
determined by the Board of Directors, shall be equivalent for all holders of
such Class or Series. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the dividends and distributions of investment income and capital
gains with respect to the different Series and with respect to the Class may
vary with respect to each such Series and Class to reflect differing
allocations of the expenses of the Corporation and the Series among the holders
of such Classes and any resultant differences between the net asset values per
share of such Classes, to such extent and for such purposes as the Board of
Directors may deem appropriate. The Board of Directors may determine that
dividends may be payable only with respect to those shares of stock that have
been held of record continuously by the stockholder for a specified period
prior to the record date of the date of the distribution.
(8) Except as provided below, on each matter submitted to a vote
of the stockholders, each holder of stock shall be entitled to one vote (1) for
each share standing in such stockholder's name on the books of the Corporation
or (2) if approved by the Board of Directors and pursuant to the issuance of an
exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, for each dollar of
net asset value per share of a Class or Series, as applicable. Subject to any
applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law,
all holders of shares of stock shall vote as a single class except with respect
to any matter which the Board of Directors shall have determined affects only
one or more (but less than all) Series or Classes of stock, in which case only
the holders of shares of the Series or Classes affected shall be entitled to
vote. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to any
applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law,
the holders of each of the Classes of each Series shall have, respectively,
with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders (i) exclusive
voting rights with respect to any such matter that only affects the Series or
Class of Common Stock of which they are holders, including, without limitation,
the provisions of any distribution plan adopted by the Corporation pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act (a "Plan") with respect to the
Class of which they are holders and (ii) no voting rights with respect to the
provisions of any Plan that affects one or more of such other Classes of Common
Stock, but not the Class of which they are holders, or with respect to any
other matter that does not affect the Class of Common Stock of which they are
holders.
(9) In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation, stockholders of each Class of the Corporation's stock shall be
entitled to receive, as a Class, out of the assets of the Corporation available
for distribution to stockholders, but other than
General Assets not attributable to any particular Class of stock, the assets
attributable to the Class less the liabilities allocated to that Class; and the
assets so distributable to the stockholders of any Class of stock shall be
distributed among such stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of
the Class held by them and recorded on the books of the Corporation. In the
event that there are any General Assets not attributable to any particular
Class of stock, and such assets are available for distribution, the
distribution shall be made to the holders of all Classes of a Series in
proportion to the net asset value of the respective Classes or as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors.
(10)(a) Each holder of stock may require the Corporation to redeem
all or any shares of the stock owned by that holder, upon request to the
Corporation or its designated agent, at the net asset value of the shares of
stock next determined following receipt of the request in a form approved by
the Corporation and accompanied by surrender of the certificate or certificates
for the shares, if any, less the amount of any applicable redemption charge,
deferred sales charge, redemption fee or other amount imposed by the Board of
Directors (to the extent consistent with applicable law). The Board of
Directors may establish procedures for redemption of stock.
(b)The proceeds of the redemption of a share (including a
fractional share) of any Class of capital stock of the Corporation shall be
reduced by the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge, redemption fee
or other amount payable on such redemption pursuant to the terms of issuance of
such share.
(c) Subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the
Board of Directors may cause the Corporation to redeem at net asset value all
or any proportion of the outstanding shares of any Series or Class from a
holder (1) upon such conditions with respect to the maintenance of stockholder
accounts of a minimum amount as may from time to time be established by the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion or (2) upon such conditions
established by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, for any other
purpose, including, without limitation, a reorganization pursuant to the
Investment Company Act.
(d)Payment by the Corporation for shares of stock of the
Corporation surrendered to it for redemption shall be made by the Corporation
within seven days of such surrender out of the funds legally available
therefor, provided that the Corporation may suspend the right of the
stockholders to redeem shares of stock and may postpone the right of those
holders to receive payment for any shares when permitted or required to do so
by applicable statutes or regulations. Payment of the aggregate price of shares
surrendered for redemption may be made in cash or, at the option of the
Corporation, wholly or partly in such portfolio securities of the Corporation
as the Corporation shall select.
(e) Subject to the following sentence, shares of stock of any
Series and Class of the Corporation which have been redeemed or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation shall constitute authorized but unissued shares of
stock of such Series and Class. In connection with a liquidation or
reorganization of any Series or Class in which all of the outstanding shares of
such Series or Class are redeemed by the Corporation, upon any such redemption
all such shares and all authorized but unissued shares of the applicable Series
or Class shall automatically be returned to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, without further designation as to Series or
Class.
(11) At such times as may be determined by the Board of Directors
(or with the authorization of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the
Corporation) in accordance with the Investment Company Act and applicable rules
and regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and from time to
time reflected in the registration statement of the Corporation (the
"Corporation's Registration Statement"), shares of a particular Series or Class
of stock of the Corporation or certain shares of a particular Class of stock of
any Series of the Corporation may be automatically converted into shares of
another
Class of stock of such Series of the Corporation based on the relative net
asset values of such Classes at the time of conversion, subject, however, to
any conditions of conversion that may be imposed by the Board of Directors (or
with the authorization of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the
Corporation) and reflected in the Corporation's Registration Statement. The
terms and conditions of such conversion may vary within and among the Classes
to the extent determined by the Board of Directors (or with the authorization
of the Board of Directors, by the officers of the Corporation) and set forth in
the Corporation's Registration Statement.
(12) Pursuant to Article Seventh,SEVENTH, paragraph (1)(d), upon a
determination of the Board of Directors that the net asset value per share of a
Class shall remain constant, the Corporation shall be entitled to declare and
pay and/or credit as dividends daily the net income (which may include or give
effect to realized and unrealized gains and losses, as determined in accordance
with the Corporation's accounting and portfolio valuation policies) of the
Corporation attributable to the assets attributable to that Class. If the
amount so determined for any day is negative, the Corporation shall be
entitled, without the payment of monetary compensation but in consideration of
the interest of the Corporation and its stockholders in maintaining a constant
net asset value per share of that Class, to redeem pro rata from all the
holders of record of shares of that class at the time of such redemption (in
proportion to their respective holdings thereof) sufficient outstanding shares
of that Class, or fractions thereof, as shall permit the net asset value per
share of that Class to remain constant.
(13) The Corporation may issue shares of stock in fractional
denominations to the same extent as its whole shares, and shares in fractional
denominations shall be shares of stock having proportionately to the respective
fractions represented thereby all the rights of whole shares, including,
without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and
distributions, and the right to participate upon liquidation of the
Corporation, but excluding any right to receive a stock certificate
representing fractional shares.
(14) No stockholder shall be entitled to any preemptive right
other than as the Board of Directors may establish.
(15) The rights of all stockholders and the terms of all stock are
subject to the provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws.
SIXTH: The number of directors of the Corporation shall be [__________][________].
The number of directors of the Corporation may be changed pursuant to the
Bylaws of the Corporation. The names of the individuals who shall serve as
directors of the Corporation until the next annual meeting of stockholders and

requirements or the Charter, requires approval by a separate vote of one or
more Series or Classes of stock, in which case the presence in person or by

APPENDIX E--LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
September 15, 2010
Securities and Exchange Commission
Washington, D.C. 20549
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for the AllianceBernstein Funds listed
in Exhibit A (the "Auditor Change Funds") and, under the respective dates
listed in Exhibit A, we reported on the financial statements of each of the
Auditor Change Funds as of and for the corresponding year-ends listed in
Exhibit A. On April 14, 2010, we were dismissed. We have read the statements
included under the section titled "Approval of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firms by Board" within the Proxy Statement for the AllianceBernstein
Funds dated September 21, 2010, and we agree with such statements, except that
we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the statement that the Audit
Committee of the Boards of each of the Auditor Change Funds approved the
dismissal of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the
Auditor Change Funds at a meeting held on March 24, 2010, and we are not in a
position to agree or disagree with any of the statements regarding Ernst &
Young LLP.
Very truly yours,
