AB Multi-Manager Select 2050 Fund 

Each fund, other than Retirement Allocation, is named for a “target date”—the approximate year when you expect to retire and start withdrawing from your account. Funds furthest from their target dates emphasize growth potential by investing almost entirely in equities. As investors move closer to—and into—retirement, the funds automatically adjust to a more conservative asset mix. Investments in Multi-Manager Select Retirement Funds are not guaranteed against loss of principal: at any time, your account value can be more or less than the original amount contributed—including at the time of the fund’s target date. Also, investing in Multi-Manager Select Retirement Funds does not guarantee sufficient income in retirement.

A Word About Risk: The value of your investment in the Fund will change with changes in the values of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds. There is no assurance that the Fund will provide an investor with adequate income at or through retirement. Allocation Risk: The allocation of investments among the Underlying Funds’ different investment styles, such as equity or debt securities, or US or non-US securities, may have a more significant effect on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) when one of these investments is performing more poorly than the other. There is no assurance that allocation decisions will result in the desired effects. Subjective decisions made by the Adviser and/or Morningstar Investment Management may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it might otherwise have capitalized. Market Risk: The value of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate as the stock or bond market fluctuates. The value of its investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events that affect large portions of the market. It includes the risk that a particular style of investing may be underperforming the stock market generally. Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in Underlying Funds that invest in fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the value of investments in fixed-income securities tends to fall and this decrease in value may not be offset by higher income from new investments. Interest rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations. Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives or other contract, may be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The issuer or guarantor may default, causing a loss of the full principal amount of a security. The degree of risk for a particular security may be reflected in its credit rating. There is the possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security. Investments by Underlying Funds in fixed-income securities with lower ratings are subject to a higher probability that an issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations. Inflation Risk: This is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of each Underlying Fund’s assets can decline as can the value of that Underlying Fund’s distributions. Foreign (Non-US) Risk: Investments in non-US issuers by Underlying Funds may involve more risk than investments in US issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be less liquid due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other factors. Emerging Market Risk: Investments by Underlying Funds in emerging market countries may involve more risk than investments in other foreign countries because the markets in emerging market countries are less developed and less liquid as well as subject to increased economic, political, regulatory and other uncertainties. Currency Risk: Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments or reduce its returns. Capitalization Risk: Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies by Underlying Funds tend to be more volatile than investments in large-capitalization companies. Investments in small-capitalization companies may have additional risks because these companies often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources. Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses, and may be subject to counterparty risk to a greater degree than more traditional investments. Leverage Risk: Borrowing money or other leverage may make an Underlying Fund’s investments more volatile because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of its investments. An Underlying Fund may create leverage through the use of certain portfolio management techniques such as reverse repurchase agreements or forward commitments, or by borrowing money. Diversification Risk: The Fund may have more risk because it is “non-diversified”, meaning that it can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers. Management Risk: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively-managed investment fund. The Adviser and Morningstar Investment Management will apply their investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that their techniques will produce the intended results.

As with all investments, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
