Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), The AB Portfolios hereby requests the withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 124 (Accession No. 0000919574-21-006063) under the Securities Act to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of The AB Portfolios, filed on October 1, 2021 (the “Amendment”). The request for withdrawal is being made because the Amendment inadvertently identified Class Z shares of the Portfolio as a new series of The AB Portfolios on EDGAR. No securities were issued or sold in connection with the Amendment and the Amendment did not become effective.
A new Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of The AB Portfolios was filed (Accession No. 0000919574-21-006077) solely to rectify the EDGAR error specified above.
Please direct any comments or questions to Paul M. Miller or Jessica Cohn of Seward & Kissel LLP at (202) 737-8833.
| Sincerely, | ||||
| /s/ Eric C. Freed | ||||
| Eric C. Freed | ||||
