FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table below does not reflect any fees and expenses associated with variable life insurance contracts and variable annuity certificates and contracts (“Contracts”), which would increase overall fees and expenses. See the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

Shareholder Fees

(fees paid directly from your investment)

Not applicable.

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
EQ/BlackRock Basic Value Equity Portfolio	Class IA Shares		Class IB Shares
Management Fee		0.58%		0.58%
Distribution and/or Service Fees (12b-1 fees)		None		0.25%
Other Expenses		0.12%		0.12%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses		0.70%		0.95%

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other portfolios. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. This Example does not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses including redemption fees (if any) at the Contract level. If such fees and expenses were reflected, the total expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Class IA Shares	$	72	$	224	$	390	$	871
Class IB Shares	$	97	$	303	$	525	$	1,166

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 56% of the average value of the Portfolio.

INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE

Principal Investment Strategy: Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities that the Adviser believes are undervalued and therefore represent basic investment value. The Adviser places particular emphasis on companies with below-average price/earnings ratios that may pay above-average dividends. The Adviser may also determine a company is undervalued if its stock price is down because of temporary factors from which the Adviser believes the company will recover. The Portfolio focuses its investments on companies with market capitalizations over $5 billion.

The Adviser believes that favorable changes in market prices are more likely to occur when:

• stocks are out of favor;

• company earnings are depressed;

• price/earnings ratios are relatively low;

• investment expectations are limited; and/or

• there is no general interest in a security or industry.

On the other hand, the Adviser believes that negative developments are more likely to occur when:

• investment expectations are generally high;

• stock prices are advancing or have advanced rapidly;

• price/earnings ratios have been inflated; and/or

• an industry or security continues to become popular among investors.

The Adviser believes that stocks with relatively high price/earnings ratios are more vulnerable to price declines from unexpected adverse developments. At the same time, stocks with relatively low price/earnings

ratios are more likely to benefit from favorable but generally unanticipated events. Thus, the Portfolio may invest a large part of its net assets in stocks that have weak research ratings.

The Portfolio may sell a security if, for example, the stock price increases to the high end of the range of its historical price-book value ratio or if the Portfolio determines that the issuer no longer meets the criteria the Adviser has established for the purchase of such securities or if the Adviser thinks there is a more attractive investment opportunity in the same category. The Portfolio also may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities issued by foreign companies.

The Portfolio has no minimum holding period for investments, and will buy or sell securities whenever the Portfolio’s management sees an appropriate opportunity.

The Manager has been granted relief by the Securities and Exchange Commission to hire, terminate and replace Advisers and amend advisory agreements subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees and without obtaining shareholder approval. However, the Manager may not enter into an advisory agreement on behalf of the Portfolio with an “affiliated person” of the Manager, such as AllianceBernstein L.P., unless the advisory agreement is approved by the Portfolio’s shareholders. The Manager has ultimate responsibility to oversee Advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.

Principal Risks: An investment in the Portfolio is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in the Portfolio. Performance may be affected by one or more of the following risks.

Equity Risk: In general, stocks and other equity security values fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions.

Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities. Foreign markets may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices also may impact security values and it may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities.

Currency Risk: Investments in foreign currencies and in securities that trade in, or receive revenues in, foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Any such decline may erode or reverse any potential gains from an investment in securities denominated in foreign currency or may widen existing loss. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, intervention by governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

Investment Style Risk: An Adviser may use a particular style or set of styles — in this case “value” styles — to select investments. Those styles may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods. Value stocks are subject to the risks that notwithstanding that a stock is selling at a discount to a its perceived true worth, the market will never fully recognize their intrinsic value. In addition, there is the risk that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. They may also increase the volatility of the Portfolio’s share price.

Large-Cap Company Risk: Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Mid-Cap Company Risk: The Portfolio’s investments in mid-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Such companies generally have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the Portfolio may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

This Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts, retirement plans and other eligible investments. The Portfolio and its related companies may make payments to a sponsoring insurance company (or its affiliates) or other financial intermediary for distribution and/or other services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the insurance company or other financial intermediary and your financial adviser to recommend the Portfolio over another investment or by influencing an insurance company to include the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Contract. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your Contract may contain additional information about these payments.
