The private sector financial balance moved into surplus in 2009, as households and companies saved more and invested less. In our view, the unprecedented shift in the balance of private sector saving and investment suggests that the US recovery is on a stronger footing for a sustainable recovery in early 2010. 2/5/2010
The US Department of the Treasury has selected AllianceBernstein as one of nine pre-qualified fund managers in its Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP). Under the program, AllianceBernstein will partner with the Treasury—which will be a co-investor and will provide various leverage options for PPIP funds—to create a Public-Private Investment Fund (PPIF) which will invest in distressed “legacy securities” that are clogging the balance sheets of many financial institutions. 7/8/2009
The US Treasury Department has chosen AllianceBernstein to help manage its portfolio of assets issued by banks and other institutions taking part in the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) and other programs of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). These programs are part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which seeks to restore financial stability and ensure the flow of capital to consumers and businesses so that these institutions can ultimately attract both private and public capital. 4/22/2009

YTD performance information is as of the date shown. Other periods are as of the most recent month-end. Because of ongoing market volatility, a fund's performance may be subject to substantial fluctuations since those dates and may be more or less than that shown. All returns reflect reinvestment of all distributions. NAV returns do not reflect sales charges which would reduce total return figures. For SEC returns and other fund information click on the fund name. SEC returns reflect payment of the maximum 4.25% front-end sales charge. Returns for other classes will vary due to higher expenses charged to these classes. Fund returns less than one year old are cumulative, not annualized. The investment return and principal value of the Funds will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
