NOTES ON PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)

 

Total Returns

Performance of the AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios as shown on the following pages compares each Portfolio’s performance to that of a broad-based securities index. Each of the Portfolio’s annualized rates of return are net of investment management fees and expenses of the Portfolio. Rates of return are not representative of the actual return you would receive under your variable life insurance policy or annuity contract. No policyholder or contract holder can invest directly in the AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. Changes in policy values depend not only on the investment performance of the AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios, but also on the insurance and administrative charges, applicable sales charges, and the mortality and expense risk charge applicable under a policy. These policy charges effectively reduce the dollar amount of any net gains and increase the dollar amount of any net losses.

Each of the AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios has a separate investment objective it seeks to achieve by following a separate investment policy. There is no guarantee that these objectives will be attained. The objectives and policies of each Portfolio will affect its return and its risk. Keep in mind that past performance is not an indication of future results.

Growth of $10,000 Investment

The charts shown on the following pages illustrate the total value of an assumed investment in both Class A and Class B shares of each Portfolio of the AXA Premier VIP Trust. The periods illustrated are from December 31, 1999 (or from the inception dates shown) through December 31, 2009. These results assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The total value shown for each Portfolio reflects management fees and operating expenses of the Portfolios and 12b-1 fees which are applicable only to Class B shares. They have not been adjusted for insurance-related charges and expenses associated with life insurance policies or annuity contracts, which would lower the total values shown. Results should not be considered representative of future gains or losses.

The Benchmarks

Broad-based securities indices are unmanaged and are not subject to fees and expenses typically associated with actively-managed funds. Investment cannot be made directly in a broad-based securities index. Comparisons with these benchmarks, therefore, are of limited use. They are included because they are widely known and may help you to understand the universe of securities from which each Portfolio is likely to select its holdings.

Conservative Allocation Composite Index

Conservative Allocation Composite Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index is made up of 80% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 20% S&P 500 Index from the inception of the AXA Conservative Allocation Fund (7/31/03) to 5/31/06, and 80% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 15% S&P 500 Index and 5% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, thereafter.

Conservative-Plus Allocation Composite Index

Conservative-Plus Allocation Composite Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index is made up of 60% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 40% S&P 500 Index from the inception of the AXA Conservative-Plus Allocation Portfolio (7/31/03) to 5/31/06, and 60% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 30% S&P 500 Index and 10% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, thereafter.

Moderate Allocation Composite Index

Moderate Allocation Composite Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index is made up of 50% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 50% S&P 500 Index from the inception of the AXA Moderate Allocation Fund (1/27/86) to 6/30/06, and 50% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 35% S&P 500 Index and 15% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, thereafter.

Moderate-Plus Allocation Composite Index

Moderate-Plus Allocation Composite Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index is made up of 25% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 60% S&P 500 Index and 15% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE from the inception of the AXA Moderate-Plus Allocation Fund (7/31/03) to 8/31/05, and 30% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 50% S&P 500 Index and 20% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, thereafter.

Aggressive Allocation Composite Index

Aggressive Allocation Composite Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The composite index is made up of 10% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 75% S&P 500 Index and 15% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index from the inception of the AXA Aggressive Allocation Fund (7/31/03) to 6/30/05, and 10% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 65% S&P 500 Index and 25% Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index, thereafter.

†In 2009, the Investment Manager revised the Portfolio’s benchmark indices to be the S&P 500 Index, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and MSCI EAFE Index, which more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Portfolio invests. Accordingly, the Conservative Allocation Composite Index is no longer a benchmark of the Portfolio.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 10.07% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Funds Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 26 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. These included 19 equity portfolios and 7 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (75.8%), international bonds (1.9%), and high yield bonds (0.5%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (5.7%), large cap value stocks (6.6%), international stocks (5.0%) and small and mid cap stocks (4.5%).

 

 

The Multimanager Core Bond Portfolio and EQ/Quality Bond PLUS Portfolio were the biggest contributors to performance for the year.

 

 

EQ/Long Term Bond Portfolio was the most significant detractor from performance.

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the AXA Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted
Prices for Similar
Securities,
Interest Rates,
Prepayment Speeds,
Credit Risk, etc.)
  Level 3
Significant Unobservable
inputs (Including the
Portfolio’s Own
Assumptions in
Determining the Fair
Value of Investments)

Accordingly, the Conservative Plus Allocation Composite Index is no longer a benchmark of the Portfolio.

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 14.78% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Funds Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team is also responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 33 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. These included 26 equity portfolios and 7 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (56.2%), international bonds (1.6%), and high yield bonds (0.5%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (9.2%), large cap value stocks (10.8%), international stocks (10.8%) and small and mid cap stocks (10.9%).

 

 

EQ/Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio and EQ/Large Cap Core Plus Portfolio were the biggest contributors to performance for the year.

 

 

EQ/Long Term Bond Portfolio was the biggest detractor from performance for the year.

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the AXA Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted Prices
for Similar Securities,

Returns shown for Class B shares prior to this period are derived from the historical performance of Class A shares adjusted to reflect the 12b-1 fees, applicable to Class B shares; Class A shares are not subject to any 12b-1 fees.

 

†In 2009, the Investment Manager revised the Portfolio’s benchmark indices to be the S&P 500 Index, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and MSCI EAFE Index, which more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Portfolio invests. Accordingly, the Moderate Allocation Composite Index is no longer a benchmark of the Portfolio.

 

    Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized

      

        

       

       

Past performance is not indicative of future results.

On August 15, 2003, the EQ/Balanced Portfolio was reorganized into the AXA Moderate Allocation Portfolio. Prior to that date, the predecessor fund invested directly in securities, rather than pursuing a “Fund of Funds” investment approach.

 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 17.34% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Funds Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 35 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. These included 28 equity portfolios and 7 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (46.1%), international bonds (1.2%), and high yield bonds (0.4%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (10.4%), large cap value stocks (12.3%), international stocks (14.6%) and small and mid cap stocks (15.0%).

 

 

EQ/Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio and EQ/International ETF Portfolio were the biggest contributors to performance for the year.

 

 

EQ/Long Term Bond was the biggest detractor from performance for the year.

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the AXA Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2

† In 2009, the Investment Manager revised the Portfolio’s benchmark indices to be the S&P 500 Index, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and MSCI EAFE Index, which more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Portfolio invests. Accordingly, the Moderate-Plus Allocation Composite Index is no longer a benchmark of the Portfolio.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 22.34% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Funds Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

 

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 33 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. These included 28 equity portfolios and 5 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (28.6%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (14.2%), large cap value stocks (15.9%), international stocks (20.2%) and small and mid cap stocks (21.1%).

 

 

EQ/Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio and EQ/International ETF Portfolio were the biggest contributors to performance for the year.

 

 

EQ/Davis New York Venture was the most significant detractor from performance.

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the AXA Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted Prices
for Similar Securities,
Interest Rates,
Prepayment Speeds,
Credit Risk, etc.)
  Level 3
Significant
Unobservable Inputs
(Including the
Portfolio’s Own
Assumptions in
Determining the Fair
Value of Investments)

† In 2009, the Investment Manager revised the Portfolio’s benchmark indices to be the S&P 500 Index, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and MSCI EAFE Index, which more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Portfolio invests. Accordingly, the Aggressive Allocation Composite Index is no longer a benchmark of the Portfolio.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 27.56% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Funds Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 33 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust Portfolios. These included 28 equity portfolios and 5 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (8.7%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (18.7%), large cap value stocks (21.2%), international stocks (24.5%) and small and mid cap stocks (26.9%).

 

 

EQ/Large Cap Growth Index Portfolio and EQ/Large Cap Core PLUS Portfolio were the biggest contributors to performance.

 

 

EQ/Davis New York Venture was the most significant detractor from performance.

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the AXA Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type  

Level 1

Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities

 

Level 2

Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted Prices

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 37.63% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Growth Index, returned 37.01% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, large cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 26.46%. Nine out of the ten sectors in the index delivered double-digit returns. Information technology was the strongest performing and largest sector, comprising approximately 18% of the index. Materials and consumer discretionary sectors also made strong gains. Defensive sectors such as utilities and telecommunications services were the worst performing sectors, although both still made a positive contribution to the benchmark’s return.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

Stock selection in the Energy sector was a positive for the Portfolio and aided relative returns.

 

 

Four out of five of the leading contributors to performance were in the Energy sector. Owning both Anadarko Petroleum Corp and Transocean Ltd. while the benchmark did not was helpful for the Portfolio’s performance.

 

 

ExxonMobil Corp. and Weatherford International also contributed to relative returns on a positive basis.

 

 

Amazon.com Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector) also was among the leading positive contributors to returns.

 

 

The Portfolio benefited from having limited investments in the Consumer Staples sector, as it was among the weakest-performing sectors of the benchmark index.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Health Care, Financial, and Information Technology sectors detracted from relative returns.

 

 

On an individual stock level, the significant detractors from Portfolio performance included Wells Fargo & Co. and U.S. Bancorp (Financial sector). State Street Corp. also was among the leading detractors from performance.

 

 

The Portfolio’s performance was hampered by having an underweighted posture in the Information Technology sector, the strongest-performing sector of the benchmark.

 

 

International Business Machines (Information Technology sector) and Genzyme Corp. (Health Care sector) were among the leading detractors from relative performance.

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other

(Including Quoted

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 8.54% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.93% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Policy responses to the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in the second half of 2008 helped to stabilize the global economy in 2009. Interest rates generally rose in the fourth quarter and for the full year as investors’ risk appetites revived, crimping demand for Treasuries and other sovereign bonds. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a widely used index of U.S. high-grade bonds, returned 0.20% during the fourth quarter and 5.93% for all of 2009.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

An overweight to Agency mortgage pass-through securities for the first half of the year and into the third quarter aided the Portfolio’s returns as valuations of these bonds benefited from government policy responses.

 

 

An emphasis on bonds of financial companies for the year contributed positively to the Portfolio as these bonds benefited from government guarantees and a flight to higher yielding assets.

 

 

Tactical duration positioning contributed to performance as the Portfolio had an overweight in duration early in year when investors invested in safe assets and a neutral stance later in the year as rates rose.

 

 

Exposure to municipal bonds for the year was additive for the Portfolio as yields on municipal bonds rallied significantly with strong inflows and limited supply.

 

 

The Portfolio’s performance benefited from an overweight exposure to benchmark spread sectors including CMBS, asset-backed securities (ABS) and investment-grade corporate credit.

 

 

The Portfolio also benefited from its out-of-benchmark exposure to non-agency mortgages, as spreads continued to narrow due to improving economic data and strong technicals resulting from PPIP buying.

 

 

The Portfolio’s underweight in U.S. Treasuries helped performance as investor willingness to pick up yield and take on risk increased throughout the year, causing Treasuries to underperform the broad bond market.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

An underweight position to emerging markets for the first half of the year as risky assets outperformed Treasuries for the year was detrimental to the Portfolio’s performance.

 

 

Underweight positions in both agency mortgages and agency debentures detracted from performance for the year.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(including Quoted Prices
for Similar Securities,
Interest Rates,
Prepayment Speeds,
Credit Risk, etc.)
  Level 3
Significant Unobservable
Inputs (including the
Portfolio’s Own
Assumptions in
Determining the Fair
Value of Investments)

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 30.41% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 31.78% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, international stocks posted strong gains as global economic growth prospects brightened and the corporate profit outlook improved. Developed international equity markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, rose 31.8%. The U.S. dollar generally weakened during the year, which had a positive impact for U.S. based international equity investors. Nine of the ten sectors in the MSCI EAFE Index posted double-digit gains, led by Materials, which soared nearly 70%. Utilities was the weakest-performing sector of the Index, experiencing a relatively modest gain of 5%.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

Stock selection in the Energy sector was a positive for the Portfolio: The Portfolio’s Energy holdings such as Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. and Transocean Ltd., which the benchmark did not hold, aided relative returns.

 

 

Stock selection in the Financial Sector had a positive impact on relative returns. Several Financial positions posted solid returns and aided performance. These included Credit Suisse Group AG, India-headquartered ICICI Bank Ltd. and Brazil-based Itau Unibanco Holding S/A.

 

 

Positions in Anheuser-Busch InBev (Consumer Staples sector) and Brazilian home builder Gafisa S/A benefited the Portfolio.

 

 

Underweighted posture in the Utilities sector benefited the Portfolio as it was the weakest-performing sector of the benchmark index.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

Stock selection in the Materials sector was a negative for the Portfolio.

 

 

On an individual stock level, the largest detractors from Portfolio performance included video game company Nintendo Co. Ltd. (Information Technology sector — Japan) and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (Financial sector — Japan).

 

 

Other leading detractors from performance included Barclays and HSBC (Financial sector — U.K.), and Lonza Group AG (Health Care — Switzerland).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 32.92% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 26.46% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, large cap stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 26.46%. Nine out of the ten sectors in the index delivered double-digit returns. Information technology was the strongest performing and largest sector, comprising approximately 18% of the index. Materials and consumer discretionary sectors also made strong gains. Defensive sectors such as utilities and telecommunications services were the worst performing sectors, although both still made a positive contribution to the benchmark’s return.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financial and Information Technology sectors contributed to relative performance on a positive basis.

 

 

Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Financial sectors aided the Portfolio’s relative returns.

 

 

Among the individual leading contributors to performance were Exxon Mobil Corp. (Energy sector); Goldman Sachs Group (Financial sector); and Corning Inc. (Information Technology sector).

 

 

Owning Genentech Inc. (Health Care sector) and Crown Castle International Corp (Telecommunications Services sector) while the benchmark did not, benefited the Portfolio.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

Leading individual detractors from performance included Gilead Sciences Inc. (Health Care sector); Google Inc. (Information Technology sector) and Eli Lilly and Co. (Health Care sector). Lilly made a high-priced acquisition of a biotech company, Imclone, which disappointed investors hoping for a more shareholder friendly use of cash. That acquisition, combined with fears regarding potential healthcare reform initiatives in Congress, provided major headwinds for the stock.

 

 

Holding Mitsubishi UFJ and Ace Ltd. (both in the Financial sector) while the benchmark did not, was detrimental to the Portfolio’s performance.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 36.96% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio's benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, returned 37.21% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Growth Index, posted an impressive 37.2% gain, as the more cyclical sectors of the market rebounded sharply after underperforming the defensive sectors in late 2008 and early 2009. All of the sectors in the index delivered double-digit returns. Information technology was the clear leader, returning 62%. The materials, consumer discretionary, and telecommunication services sectors were also top performers. Gains were less in utilities and consumer staples sectors.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Energy, Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors contributed to relative performance on a positive basis.

 

 

Stock selection in the Energy and Information Technology sectors was positive for the Portfolio.

 

 

Security selection was most successful in the Information Technology sector. The leading contributors to performance included computer maker Apple and Salesforce.com Inc. Owning Starent Networks Corp while the benchmark did not proved helpful to relative returns.

 

 

Consumer discretionary shares were another source of outperformance. Amazon.com was a key contributor after growing its business despite the difficult consumer environment. Priceline.com Inc. was also a leading contributor to positive performance.

 

 

A portfolio underweight of Consumer Staples, which was the worst performing sector in the benchmark added to relative returns.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Financial, Health Care and Industrials sectors detracted from relative performance.

 

 

Stock selection in the Financial, Health Care and Industrials sectors held back the Portfolio’s returns.

 

 

An overweight position in the second-worst performing sector in the benchmark contributed to the Health Care holding back performance.

 

 

Stock selection was particularly challenged in the Health Care sector as Cephalon, Inc. and Thoratec Corp. represented the two of the largest detractors in the Portfolio for the year.

 

 

Drug company, Gilead Sciences, was a negative contributor to returns, also. The stock suffered as growth slowed and the company stopped development on a new drug.

 

 

Individual stock selection within the Financial sector detracted during the year, with the largest detraction coming from Wells Fargo & Co.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted
Prices for Similar

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 23.29% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 19.69% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000® Value Index, posted a gain of 19.69%. All of the sectors in the index delivered double-digit returns except telecommunications services and energy. The materials and information technology sectors were the strongest performing sectors in the index, followed by consumer discretionary.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

Strong stock selection and an underweighted position in the Energy sector boosted performance relative to the benchmark. An underweighted position in integrated oil and gas company Exxon Mobil helped as this stock underperformed the benchmark.

 

 

The Portfolio’s overweighted position in the Information Technology sector was another contributor to relative results.

 

 

Among the leading contributors to positive performance were Health Care holdings Wyeth and Schering Plough Corp., as well as ExxonMobil Corp (Energy sector), General Electric Co. (Industrials sector) and Citigroup Inc. (Financial sector).

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Materials sector was the leading sector detractor from the Portfolio’s performance.

 

 

Portfolio holding defense contractor Lockheed Martin was among the Portfolio’s top detractors, which was not held by the benchmark.

 

 

Among the leading individual detractors from performance were precious metals company Freeport-McMoran Copper (Materials sector), Capital One Financial Corp. and Bank of New York Mellon (both in the Financial sector) and Ford Motor Co. (Consumer Discretionary sector).

MULTIMANAGER LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO (Unaudited)

 

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type  

Level 1

Quoted Prices in

Active Markets for

Identical

Securities

   

Level 2

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 42.27% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, returned 41.66% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Last year was a period of transition in the U.S. stock market, and the small cap growth space was no exception. After starting out with the same negative tone that had marked 2008, one of the worst years ever for U.S. stocks, the market abruptly reversed course in March as investors began seeing so-called “green shoots” of economic recovery. As the year progressed, fears of financial collapse began to give way to expectations for economic recovery. By year end, the Russell 2500 Growth Index finished up 41.7%, strongly ahead of the S&P 500’s 26.5% advance.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Information Technology sector, specifically the semiconductor subsector, positively impacted performance.

 

 

The Industrials and Telecommunications Services sectors contributed to performance on a positive basis.

 

 

Stock selection in the Telecommunications Services sector aided the Portfolio’s relative returns.

 

 

SeaGate Technology, the largest disk drive manufacturer, was the Portfolio’s individual leading contributor to relative performance. It was severely impacted early in the year by inventory reductions at the end of 2008 and negative pricing. Both factors have reversed quicker than investors expected with a more rational competitive environment and stronger than expected overall demand.

 

 

Intuitive Surgical Inc. (Health Care sector), Vistaprint (Information Technology sector), and SBA Communications Corp (Telecommunications Services sector) were among the leading contributors to performance.

 

 

Atheros Communications, a semiconductor company that provides technologies for wireless and wired end-users, was also a leading contributor to positive relative returns. Shares benefited from strong product cycles for mobile handsets, gaming, and notebooks.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Materials, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors contributed to relative performance on a negative basis.

 

 

Stock selection in the Materials, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors was negative for the Portfolio.

 

 

Leading detractors from relative performance included FLIR Systems Inc. (Information Technology sector); Sequenom Inc. and Psychiatric Solutions (both in the Health Care sector); Huron Consulting Group (Industrials sector); and Advance Auto Parts Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector).

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted
Prices for Similar

Interest Rates,

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 44.90% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, returned 27.68% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, the Russell 2500 Value Index returned 27.68%. All sectors of the Russell 2500 Value Index posted gains for the year led by the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Telecom & Media sectors. Financial and Utilities lagged. Mid cap stocks outperformed both large cap and small cap stocks as measured by the S&P 400 MidCap, S&P 500, and Russell 2000® Indices, respectively.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Energy, Materials and Financial sectors contributed to relative performance on a positive basis.

 

 

A significant portion of the Portfolio’s relative out-performance was due to its underweight exposure to Financials.

 

 

The leading individual positive contributor was Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (Materials sector), an international mining company with operations focused in Central Asia and the Asia Pacific region. The company jointly owns one of the largest undeveloped copper resources, the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold deposit in Mongolia jointly with Rio Tinto PLC. Copper prices were up for the year and the stock benefited.

 

 

Another leading contributor to the Portfolio’s relative performance, Freeport-McMoRan Copper and Gold Inc., a copper, gold and molybdenum mining company with assets in Indonesia, North and South America and Africa also benefited from this rally.

 

 

The second best performer in the Portfolio was Whole Foods Market, Inc., a member of the Consumer Staples sector. The company owns and operates a chain of natural and organic food supermarkets in the United States. Its share price increased due to better than expected earnings each of the four quarters.

 

 

Tata Motors Limited ADR (Industrials sector), was the third best performer in the Portfolio. Tata is India’s largest truck maker whose principal activities are to manufacture and market commercial, utility and passenger vehicles. Vehicles sales rose, both locally and globally during the period.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Consumer Discretionary sector contributed to relative returns on a negative basis.

 

 

Owning Kinross Gold Corp (Materials sector); Sumitomo Trust and Banking Ltd. (Financial sector); Sekisui House Ltd (Consumer Discretionary sector) while the benchmark did not, proved detrimental to the Portfolio’s relative performance.

 

 

Delta Airlines Inc. (Industrials sector) and Platinum Underwriter Holdings Ltd. (Financial sector) also negatively impacted relative returns.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including
Quoted Prices for
Similar Securities,
Interest Rates,
Prepayment
Speeds, Credit
Risk, etc.)
  Level 3

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 10.09% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Universal Index, returned 8.60% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Policy responses to the financial crisis and economic downturn that began in the second half of 2008 helped to stabilize the global economy in 2009. Interest rates generally rose in the fourth quarter and for the full year as investors’ risk appetites revived, crimping demand for Treasuries and other sovereign bonds. The Barclays Capital U.S. Universal Index returned 0.58% during the fourth quarter and 8.60% for all of 2009.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

Security selection of high quality bonds where the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark paid off during the period.

 

 

The Pharmaceutical and Health Care sectors proved to be advantageous. Specific examples of each respectively were: Elan Pharmaceuticals, where a large cash infusion from Johnson and Johnson, had a significant positive impact on the bonds; and US Oncology (Health Care sector) was an excellent credit.

 

 

An overweight to Agency mortgage pass-through securities for the second and third quarters aided performance. Valuations of these bonds benefited from government policy responses.

 

 

Tactical duration positioning contributed to performance, as the Portfolio had an overweight in duration early in year when investors chose safe assets and a neutral stance later in the year as rates rose.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Financial and Insurance sectors have seen a significant amount of growth over the past year with the issuance of “Trust Preferred” securities that were a part of the TARP program. The Financial and Insurance sectors are up for the year with the performance of most companies coming via a government bailout program.

 

 

The Portfolio had an underweight to corporate bonds at year-end, which were the best performing bond sector across the investment-grade universe.

 

 

The Portfolio was underweight to emerging markets for the year as risky assets outperformed Treasuries for the year.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(including Quoted
Prices for

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class B shares returned 34.89% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, returned 34.47% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Growth Index, posted a notable return of 34.5%. All sectors of the index made positive contributions to return, with the largest gains coming from information technology. Consumer discretionary and health care stocks also made significant contributions to return. The worst performing sector was financials, although this sector contributed modestly to the benchmark’s return.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009.

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Energy and Materials sectors contributed to relative performance on a positive basis.

 

 

Stock selection was positive for the Portfolio in the Energy and Materials sectors.

 

 

The leading individual contributor to relative performance was chemicals producer Huntsman Corp. (Materials sector). This highly cyclical company rose in anticipation of an economic recovery and due to its cost-reduction program.

 

 

American Medical Systems (Health Care sector) was among the leading contributors to positive performance. It benefited from increased new-product flow, increased operational efficiency and the addition of new management resulting in improving margins and growth rate.

 

 

Several leading contributors were found in the Information Technology sector. These included Vistaprint, Compellent Technologies, Inc. and Rovi Corp., a provider of solutions that enable digital-product protection. It had strong performance during the first three quarters of the year due to excitement about a significant new contract, strong financial performance and increased guidance.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors detracted from relative returns.

 

 

Stock selection was negative in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors.

 

 

Telecommunications company EMS Technologies was the leading individual detractor from relative performance. It declined after announcing lower-than-expected earnings and muted guidance due to the challenging economic environment.

 

 

Health Care sector returns were impacted by medical-device producer Thoratec Corp. which traded down during the year.

 

 

Human Genome Sciences (Health Care sector) held back the Portfolio’s performance.

266


MULTIMANAGER SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO (Unaudited)

 

 

Northwest Pipe Co. (Industrials sector) was among the leading detractors from relative performance. Its shares fell after the company pre-announced disappointing third-quarter results and delayed filing its financial reports due to an ongoing investigation in accounting irregularities.

 

 

Financial sector holding in First Commonwealth Financial weighed down the Portfolio’s relative returns.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1)transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2)ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
 

Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(Including Quoted
Prices for Similar
Securities,

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio's Class A shares returned 26.76% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Portfolio's benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 20.58% over the same period.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 20.58%. Nine of the ten sectors in the index made positive contributions to return. The leading contributors to the benchmark’s performance were consumer discretionary and information technology stocks. Negative performance in the financial sector, which comprised approximately 35% of the index, detracted from the benchmark’s return.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark in 2009.

 

 

The Energy, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Financial and Utilities sectors contributed to the Portfolio’s relative performance on a positive basis.

 

 

Stock selection was a positive for the Portfolio in the Industrials sector.

 

 

Owning Thor Industries Inc. and Amerigon Inc. (both in the Consumer Discretionary sector); Reliance Steel and Aluminum (Materials sector) and Orion Marine Group, Inc. (Industrials sector) while the benchmark did not, proved beneficial for the Portfolio.

 

 

The leading individual contributor to relative performance was Sonic Automotive Inc. (Consumer Discretionary sector).

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

The Information Technology sector detracted from relative performance.

 

 

Leading detractors from performance came mainly from the Financial sector. These included Cathay General Bancorp, TrustCo Bank Corp., and Webster Financial Corp.

 

 

Owning Old Republic International Corp. (Financial sector) while the benchmark did not proved harmful to the Portfolio’s relative performance.

 

 

3Com Corp. (Information Technology sector) was also among the leading detractors.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2
Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(including Quoted
Prices for Similar
Securities,
Interest Rates,
Prepayment Speeds,
Credit Risk, etc.)
  Level 3
Significant
Unobservable
Inputs (Including
the Portfolio’s
Own Assumptions in

Fair Value of
Investments)

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 58.80% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P North American Technology Sector Index 63.19%, the Russell 1000® Technology Index 64.47% and the Russell 1000® Index 28.43%.

Asset Class Overview

Over the 12 months, the S&P North America Technology Sector Index rose 63.19% for the year. Three sectors of technology beat the benchmark: internet, semiconductors, and computers.

The following commentary describes key factors (such as stock selection and sector allocation decisions) which helped or hurt the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Technology Index.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

What helped performance during the year:

 

 

Stock selection in the Information Technology sector aided the Portfolio’s performance.

 

 

Security selection in the Computers & Peripherals, Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment, and Electronic Equipment & Instruments industries assisted performance.

 

 

On an individual basis, SeaGate Technology, manufacturer and marketer of disc drives, contributed to performance. The company reported better-than-expected results driven by higher volumes and favorable margins.

 

 

Microsoft contributed to returns on a positive basis. Shares of the global technology company gained on earnings and revenue numbers that beat expectations.

 

 

Shares of Intel, the chip maker, rose over the period as earnings came in ahead of expectations and conditions in the computer industry improved.

What hurt performance during the year:

 

 

Security selection in IT Services and Communications Equipment detracted from relative performance.

 

 

Shares of Google, the leading internet search engine, rose as earnings improved over the period. The Portfolio’s underweight position hurt relative results.

 

 

Shares of management consulting, technology services and outsourcing firm, Accenture, struggled to stay in positive territory as the company lowered its earnings forecast.

 

 

Western Union, the global money transfer company, benefited from an increase in global transaction volumes over the period. After posting better-than-expected earnings, the company boosted its revenue guidance and outlook. The Portfolio’s overweight position detracted from relative results as the stock lagged the benchmark.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type  

Level 1

Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical

Securities

 

Level 2

Significant Other
Observable Inputs
(including Quoted
Prices for Similar
Securities,

Interest Rates,
Prepayment Speeds,
Credit Risk, etc.)

 

Level 3

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 20.57% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Portfolios Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying Portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team is also responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying Portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 12 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Portfolios. These included 8 equity portfolios and 4 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (33.1%) and high yield bonds (0.6%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (14.5%), large cap value stocks (15.4%), international stocks (23.5%) and small and mid cap stocks (12.8%).

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying Portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying Portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the Target Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled ‘‘Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets for
Identical
Securities
  Level 2

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 23.56% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Portfolios Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying Portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying Portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 12 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Portfolios. These included 8 equity portfolios and 4 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (20.6%) and high yield bonds (0.5%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (17.8%), large cap value stocks (18.7%), international stocks (26.7%) and small and mid cap stocks (15.7%).

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying Portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying Portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the Target Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted prices in
active markets for
identical
securities
  Level 2
Significant other
observable inputs
(including quoted
prices for similar
securities,

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 25.92% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Portfolios Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying Portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying Portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 12 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Portfolios. These included 8 equity portfolios and 4 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (10.6%) and high yield bonds (0.3%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (20.5%), large cap value stocks (20.8%), international stocks (29.5%) and small and mid cap stocks (18.3%).

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying Portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying Portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the Target Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Investment Type   Level 1
Quoted prices in
active markets for
identical
securities
  Level 2
Significant other
observable inputs
(including quoted
prices for similar
securities,
interest rates,
prepayment speeds,
credit risk, etc.)
  Level 3
Significant
unobservable
inputs (including
the Portfolio’s
own assumptions in
determining the
fair value of
investments)

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Portfolio’s Class A shares returned 28.13% for the year ended December 31, 2009. This compares to the returns of the following broad market benchmarks: S&P 500 Index 26.46%, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 5.93% and the MSCI EAFE Index 31.78%.

Portfolio Adviser

A team of professionals within the AXA Portfolios Management Group, a unit of AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company, determines the strategic asset class and underlying Portfolio allocations for the Portfolio. The team also is responsible for the ongoing evaluation and selection of underlying Portfolios and monitoring the overall investment process and performance for the Portfolio.

Portfolio Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2009

 

 

As of December 31, 2009, the Portfolio was invested in 10 underlying EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Portfolios. These included 8 equity portfolios and 2 fixed income portfolios.

 

 

The Portfolio’s fixed income allocation consisted of investment grade bonds (2.0%).

 

 

The Portfolio’s equity allocation consisted of large cap growth stocks (22.5%), large cap value stocks (22.7%), international stocks (32.6%) and small and mid cap stocks (20.2%).

Since this Portfolio invests directly in underlying Portfolios, all risks associated with the eligible underlying Portfolios apply to the Portfolio. Investing in the Target Allocation Portfolios will involve a higher overall cost than if you were to invest directly in their underlying portfolios.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXPENSES:

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs:

(1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (in the case of Class B shares of the Trust), and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 and held for the entire six-month period.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table to the right provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Also note that the table does not reflect any variable life insurance or variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses, which would increase overall fees and expenses.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2009:

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

AXA PREMIER VIP TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009

 

Note  1 Organization and Selected Significant Accounting Policies

AXA Premier VIP Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware business trust on October 2, 2001 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company with twenty-one diversified Portfolios (each a “Portfolio”). The investment manager to each Portfolio is AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable” or the “Manager”). The day-to-day portfolio management of each Portfolio, other than the AXA Conservative Allocation Portfolio, AXA Conservative-Plus Allocation Portfolio, AXA Moderate Allocation Portfolio, AXA Moderate-Plus Allocation Portfolio and AXA Aggressive Allocation Portfolio (“AXA Allocation Portfolios”), and the Target 2015 Allocation Portfolio, Target 2025 Allocation Portfolio, Target 2035 Allocation Portfolio and Target 2045 Allocation Portfolio (“Target Allocation Portfolios”), and an allocated portion of the Multimanager Technology Portfolio, is provided by multiple investment sub-advisers (each an “Adviser”).

On January 22, 2008, AXA Equitable contributed $100,000 in seed capital to the Class A shares of the Multimanager Small Cap Growth Portfolio.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust and management expect that risk of loss to be remote.

The AXA Allocation Portfolios and the Target Allocation Portfolios are types of mutual funds often described as “fund of funds.” Each AXA Allocation Portfolio and Target Allocation Portfolio pursues its investment objective by investing exclusively in other affiliated mutual funds managed by AXA Equitable (EQ Advisors Trust and AXA Premier VIP Trust).

All of the Portfolios, except the AXA Allocation Portfolios and Target Allocation Portfolios, employ multiple Advisers. Each of the Advisers independently chooses and maintains a portfolio of securities for the Portfolio and each is responsible for investing a specific allocated portion of the Portfolio’s assets. Because each Adviser will be managing its allocated portion of the Portfolio independently from the other Advisers, the same security may be held in different portions of the Portfolio, or may be acquired for one portion of the Portfolio at a time when the Adviser of another portion deems it appropriate to dispose of the security. Similarly, under some market conditions, one Adviser may believe that temporary defensive investments in short-term instruments or cash are appropriate when the other Adviser or Advisers believe continued exposure to the equity markets is appropriate for their portions of the Portfolio. Because each Adviser directs the trading for its own portion of the Portfolio, and does not aggregate its transactions with those of the other Advisers, the Portfolio may incur higher brokerage costs, and have higher portfolio turnover, than would be the case if a single Adviser were managing the entire Portfolio.

The Trust has the right to issue two classes of shares, Class A and Class B. The Class B shares are subject to distribution fees imposed under a distribution plan (“Distribution Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Trust’s multiple class distribution system, both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, other than the payment of distribution fees under the Distribution Plan.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Trust:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation:

The Portfolios are subject to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“ASC”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (ASC 820) (formerly known as SFAS 157). This standard defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are summarized below:

 

   

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

 

   

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy.

The inputs or methodology used to value securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with the rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

A summary of inputs used to value each Portfolio’s net assets as of December 31, 2009 is included in the Portfolio of Investments.

Equity securities listed on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price or official closing price or, if there is no sale or official closing price, at the latest available bid price. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market will be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the security is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. Other unlisted stocks are valued at their last sale price or official closing price.

Convertible preferred stocks listed on national securities exchanges or included on the NASDAQ stock market are valued as of their last sale price or, if there is no sale, at the latest available bid price.

Convertible bonds and unlisted convertible preferred stocks are valued at bid prices obtained from one or more of the major dealers in such bonds or stocks. Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be adjusted based on recent premium spreads to the underlying common stocks.

 

357


AXA PREMIER VIP TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

 

Convertible bonds may be matrix-priced based upon the conversion value to the underlying common stocks and market premiums.

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are valued at prices obtained from a bond pricing service where available, or at a bid price obtained from one or more of the major dealers in such securities.

Options are valued at their last sale price, or if not available, previous day’s sales price. If the bid price is higher or the asked price is lower than the last sale price, the higher bid or lower asked price may be used. Options not traded on an exchange or actively traded are valued according to fair value methods. The market value of a put or call option will usually reflect, among other factors, the market price of the underlying security.

Corporate bonds and notes may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market value of such securities. The prices provided by a pricing service take into account many factors, including institutional size, trading in similar groups of securities and any developments related to specific securities.

U.S. Treasury securities and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, are valued at representative quoted prices.

Foreign securities, including foreign government securities, not traded directly, or in American Depository Receipt (ADR) or similar form in the United States, are valued at representative quoted prices from the primary exchange in the currency of the country of origin.

All securities held in the EQ/Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost provided that certain conditions are met, including that the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Portfolio. The EQ/Money Market Portfolio seeks to maintain a constant net asset value per share of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.

Investments in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are valued based on last sale or official closing price.

Investments in shares of open-end mutual funds (other than ETFs) held by a Portfolio will be valued at the net asset value of the shares of such funds as described in these funds’ prospectuses.

Futures contracts are valued at their last sale price or, if there is no sale, at the latest available bid price.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued by interpolating between the forward and spot currency rates as quoted by a pricing service as of a designated hour on the valuation date.

If market quotations are not readily available for a security or other financial instruments, such securities or instruments shall be referred to the Trust’s Valuation Committee, who will value the assets in good faith and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Such procedures may include the use of assumptions and inputs including, but not limited to, acquisition price, future cash flows, estimated risk premiums, duration and broker quotations for comparable securities. These securities and other financial instruments may be classified as Level 2 or 3 depending on the significance of the inputs that are not observable.

Investments in the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the Target Allocation Portfolios are valued based on the net asset value per share of each underlying open-end mutual fund (other than ETFs), which follow the policies as described above.

Pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, events or circumstances affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the closing of their principal markets and the time the NAV is determined may be reflected, as by a method approved by the Trustees, in the Trust’s calculation of net asset values for each applicable Portfolio when the Trust’s Manager deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Portfolio’s net asset value. The value and

percentage, based on Total Investments, of the investments that applied these procedures on December 31, 2009 are as follows:

 

Portfolios:

  * excluding Investments of Cash Collateral for Securities on Loan.

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date net of brokerage fees, commissions, and transfer fees. Dividend income (net of withholding taxes) and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income (including amortization of premium and discount on long-term securities using the effective yield method) is accrued daily. The Trust records gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as interest income.

The Portfolios record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Portfolios adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the basis of the specific identification method of the investments sold. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities is presented net of deferred taxes on unrealized gains in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Expenses attributable to a single Portfolio or class are charged to that Portfolio or class. Expenses of the Trust not attributable to a single Portfolio or class are charged to each Portfolio or class in proportion to the average net assets of each Portfolio or other appropriate allocation methods.

All income earned and expenses incurred by each Portfolio are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Portfolio represented by the daily net assets of such class, except for distribution fees which are charged on a class specific basis.

Foreign Currency Valuation:

The books and records of the Trust are kept in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at the following dates:

 

  (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities - at the valuation date.

 

  (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses - at the date of such transactions.

The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on securities.

Net currency gains or losses realized and unrealized as a result of differences between interest or dividends, withholding taxes, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cash recorded on the Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid are presented under foreign currency transactions in the realized and unrealized gains and losses section

 

359


AXA PREMIER VIP TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

of the Statements of Operations. Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Portfolio’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.

Taxes:

The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders of each Portfolio. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for all Portfolios (Multimanager Core Bond declares and distributes monthly).

The Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Portfolios’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties. Each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2009 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Dividends from net realized short-term and long-term capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually to the shareholders of the Portfolios to which such gains are attributable. All dividends are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related Portfolios. All distributions are calculated on a tax basis and, as such, the amounts may differ from financial statement investment income and realized gains. Those differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for derivative transactions, losses due to wash sales transactions, mark-to-market of forward contracts, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies, investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts, post-October losses, paydowns, mergers and affiliated fund of fund investments. In addition, short-term capital gains and foreign currency gains are treated as capital gains for accounting purposes but are considered ordinary income for tax purposes. Net capital and net currency losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Portfolio’s next taxable year. The tax composition of distributed and undistributed income and gains for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were as follows:

Securities Lending:

For all Portfolios (except the AXA Allocation Portfolios and Target Allocation Portfolios), the Board of Trustees has approved the lending of portfolio securities, through its custodian bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPMorgan”), acting as lending agent, to certain approved broker-dealers in exchange for negotiated lenders’ fees. By lending investment securities, a Portfolio attempts to increase its net investment income through the return on the investment of cash collateral received on

the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that might occur and any interest earned or dividends declared during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Portfolio. Risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the value of the collateral received. Any such loan of Portfolio securities will generally be continuously secured by collateral in cash or high grade debt securities at least equal at all times to the market value of the security loaned. JPMorgan will indemnify each Portfolio from any loss resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. JPMorgan invests the cash collateral on behalf of the Portfolios and retains a portion of the interest earned. Cash collateral is invested on behalf of a Portfolio in a manner similar to the Portfolio’s investment of its cash reserves and the Portfolio bears all of the gains and losses on such investments. The net asset value of a Portfolio will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of instruments in which cash collateral is invested. The net amount of interest earned, after the interest rebate, is included in the Statements of Operations as securities lending income. At December 31, 2009, the cash collateral received by each Portfolio for securities loaned was invested by JPMorgan and is summarized in the Portfolio of Investments.

Certain Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with qualified and Manager approved banks, broker-dealers or other financial institutions as a means of earning a fixed rate of return on their cash reserves for periods as short as overnight. A repurchase agreement is a contract pursuant to which a Portfolio, against receipt of securities of at least equal value including accrued interest, agrees to advance a specified sum to the financial institution which agrees to reacquire the securities at a mutually agreed upon time (usually one day) and price. Each repurchase agreement entered into by a Portfolio will provide that the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest. A Portfolio’s right to liquidate such securities in the event of a default by the seller could involve certain costs, losses or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase are less than the repurchase price, the Portfolio could suffer a loss.

Short Sales Against the Box:

Certain Portfolios may enter into a “short sale” of securities in circumstances in which, at the time the short position is open, the Portfolio owns at least an equal amount of the securities sold short or owns preferred stocks or debt securities, convertible or exchangeable without payment of further consideration, into at least an equal number of securities sold short. This kind of short sale, which is referred to as one “against the box,” may be entered into by the Portfolio to, for example, lock in a sale price for a security the Portfolio does not wish to sell immediately. The Portfolio will designate the segregation, either on its records or with the Trust’s custodian, of the securities sold short or convertible or exchangeable preferred stocks or debt securities sold in connection with short sales against the box. Not more than 10% of a Portfolio’s net assets may be held as collateral for short sales against the box at any one time. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value in the financial statements. Such liabilities are subject to off-balance sheet risk to the extent of any future increases in market value of the securities sold short. The ultimate liability for securities sold short could exceed the liabilities recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio bears the risk of potential inability of the broker to meet their obligation to perform.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments:

The Portfolios are subject to the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” ASC 815 requires disclosures about entities derivative and hedging activities. The following is a description of how and why the Portfolios use derivative instruments, the type of derivatives utilized by the Portfolios during the reporting period, as well as the primary underlying risk exposures related to each

 

363


AXA PREMIER VIP TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

 

instrument type. Derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Portfolio may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Portfolio’s derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 because the Portfolios account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings. All open derivative positions at year end are reflected on each respective Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments. The volume of derivative activity, based on month-end notional amounts during the period is also noted in each respective Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.

Futures Contracts, Options on Futures Contracts, Forward Commitments and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:

The futures contracts and options on futures contracts used by the Portfolios are agreements to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price in the future. Certain Portfolios may buy or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for the purpose of protecting their portfolio securities against future changes in interest rates and indices which might adversely affect the value of the Portfolios’ securities or the price of securities that it intends to purchase at a later date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts and options on futures contracts and can be in cash, certain money market instruments, treasury securities or other liquid, high grade debt securities. During the period the futures contracts and options on futures contracts are open, changes in the market price of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” at the end of each trading day. Variation margin payments on futures contracts and options on futures contracts are received or made, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Portfolio’s basis in the contract. Should interest rates or indices move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may incur a loss. The use of futures contracts transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Portfolios to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolios to unlimited risk of loss. The Portfolios enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction, therefore, the Portfolio’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade.

Certain Portfolios may make contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time (“forward commitments”) if they designate the segregation, either on their records or with the Trust’s custodian, of cash or other liquid securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or if they enter into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities they own. These commitments are reported at market value in the financial statements. Forward commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines or if the value of the security to be sold increases prior to the settlement date, which is risk in addition to the risk of decline in value of the Portfolio’s other assets. Where such purchases or sales are made through dealers, a Portfolio relies on the dealer to consummate the sale. The dealer’s failure to do so may result in the loss to a Portfolio of an advantageous yield or price. Market risk exists on these commitments to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends. The use of forward commitments may result in market risk to the Portfolios that is greater than if the Portfolios had engaged solely in transactions that settle in the customary time. Certain Portfolios purchase forward commitments to gain or reduce exposure to the financial markets.

Certain Portfolios may purchase foreign currency on a spot (or cash) basis. In addition, certain Portfolios may enter into contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date (“forward contracts”). A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Daily fluctuations in the value of such

contracts are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by “marking to market.” The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contracts and the closing of such contracts is included in realized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations. The Advisers may engage in these forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates in connection with the purchase and sale of Portfolio securities (“transaction hedging”) and to protect the value of specific portfolio positions (“position hedging”). The Portfolios are subject to off-balance sheet risk to the extent of the value of the contracts for purchase of foreign currency and in an unlimited amount for sales of foreign currency.

Options Written:

Certain Portfolios may write (sell) covered options as a hedge to provide protection against adverse movements in the price of securities in the portfolio or to enhance investment performance. Certain Portfolios may purchase and sell exchange traded options on foreign currencies. When a Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted on a daily basis to the current market price of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recognized as gains on the expiration date. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are cancelled in closing purchase transactions are offset against the cost of any securities purchased or added to the proceeds or netted against the amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. In writing options, a Portfolio must assume that the option may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration of its obligation as a writer, and that in such circumstances the net proceeds of the sale or cost of purchase of the underlying securities and currencies pursuant to the call or put option may be substantially below or above the prevailing market price. By writing a covered call option, a Portfolio, in exchange for the premium, foregoes the opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the market price of the underlying security increase. A Portfolio also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing purchase transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instruments underlying the options. The Portfolios, however, are not subject to credit risk on written options as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

Market and Credit Risk:

Written options, futures contracts, forward commitments and forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The risk involved in writing an option on a security is that, if the option is exercised, the underlying security is then purchased or sold by the Portfolio at the contract price, which could be disadvantageous relative to the market price. The Portfolio bears the market risk, which arises from any changes in security values. The credit risk for futures contracts and exchange traded options is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade which acts as the counterparty to the Portfolio’s futures transactions. Forward commitments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and over-the-counter options are done directly with the counterparty and not through an exchange and can be terminated only by agreement of both parties to such contracts. With respect to such transactions there is no daily margin settlement and the Portfolio is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparty.

 

Note  2 Management of the Trust

The Trust has entered into two separate investment management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) with AXA Equitable. The Management Agreement for the Portfolios (other than the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the Target Allocation Portfolios) obligates the Manager to: (i) provide investment management services to the Trust; (ii) select the sub-advisers for each portfolio: (iii) monitor each sub-adviser’s investment programs and results; (iv) review brokerage matters: (v) oversee the Trust’s compliance with various federal and state statutes; and (vi) carry out

Note  4 Custody Fees

JPMorgan, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co., serves as custodian of the Trust’s portfolio securities and other assets. The Custody Agreement provides for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under custody plus transaction charges. Under the terms of the Custody Agreement between the Trust and JPMorgan, JPMorgan maintains cash, securities and other assets of the Portfolios. JPMorgan is also required, upon the order of the Trust, to deliver securities held by JPMorgan, and make payments for securities purchased by the Trust. JPMorgan has also entered into sub-custodian agreements with a number of foreign banks and clearing agencies, pursuant to which portfolio securities purchased outside the U.S. are maintained in the custody of these entities.

 

Note  5 Distribution Plans

The Trust has entered into distribution agreements with AXA Advisors, LLC (“AXA Advisors”) and AXA Distributors, LLC (“AXA Distributors”), both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of AXA Equitable (collectively, the “Distributors”), pursuant to which the Distributors serve as the principal underwriters of the Class A and Class B shares of the Trust. The Trust has adopted in the manner prescribed under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act a plan of distribution pertaining to the Class B shares of the Trust (“Distribution Plan”). The Distribution Plan provides that each Distributor will be entitled to receive a maximum distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Trust’s Class B shares for which it provides service. The distribution agreements, however, limit payments for services provided under the Distribution Plan to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Trust’s Class B shares. This limitation will be in effect at least until April 30, 2010. The Trust’s Class A shares are not subject to such fees.

 

Note  6 Expense Limitation

The Manager has contractually agreed to make payments or waive its fees to limit the expenses of certain Portfolios (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses, fees and expenses of other investment companies in which a Portfolio invests and extraordinary expenses) through April 30, 2010 (“Expense Limitation Agreement”). The Manager first waives its management fees, then waives its administration fees, and then reimburses the Portfolio’s expenses out of its own resources. AXA Equitable may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future provided that the payments and waivers are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the Portfolio’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Portfolio’s expense ratio cap. If the actual expense ratio is less than the expense cap and AXA Equitable has recouped any eligible previous payments and waivers made, the Portfolio will be charged such lower expenses. The expenses as a percentage of daily average net assets (excluding the 0.25% annual fee under the Trust’s Class B Distribution Plan) for each Portfolio (except the AXA Allocation Portfolios) are limited to:

The AXA Allocation Portfolios and the Target Allocation Portfolios invest exclusively in shares of other mutual funds (the “Underlying Portfolios”) managed by AXA Equitable. Therefore, each AXA Allocation Portfolio, in addition to its own expenses such as management fees, bears its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Portfolios and the investment return of each AXA Allocation Portfolio is reduced by each Underlying Portfolio’s expenses. The range of expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets) incurred indirectly in connection with each AXA Allocation Portfolio’s investments in Underlying Portfolios is:

 

Portfolios:

 

Range of Expenses

AXA Conservative Allocation

  0.50% to 0.75%

AXA Conservative-Plus Allocation

  0.55% to 0.80%

AXA Moderate Allocation

  0.55% to 0.80%

Target 2035 Allocation

  0.50% to 0.75%

Target 2045 Allocation

  0.50% to 0.75%

Thus, the net expense ratio of the Class A shares and the Class B shares of each AXA Allocation Portfolio, including the AXA Allocation Portfolio’s direct and indirect expenses, would range from:

Absent the Expense Limitation Agreement of the Allocation Portfolios and the Target Allocation Portfolios, the total expense ratio of the Class A shares and the Class B shares of each AXA Allocation Portfolio would range from:

will fluctuate. The total expense ratios may be higher or lower depending on the allocation of an AXA Allocation Portfolio’s assets among Underlying Portfolios and the actual expenses of the Underlying Portfolios. An investor could realize lower overall expenses by allocating investments directly to the Underlying Portfolios.

 

Note  7 Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of the Independent Trustees has been adopted by the Trust. Under the Plan, each Trustee may defer payment of all or part of the fees payable for such Trustee’s services. Each Trustee may defer payment of such fees until their retirement as a Trustee or until the earlier attainment of a specified age. Fees deferred under the Plan, together with accrued earnings thereon, will be disbursed to a participating Trustee in monthly installments over a five to twenty year period elected by such Trustee. At December 31, 2009, the total amount deferred by the Trustees participating in the Plan was $481,762.

Note  9 Substitution and Reorganization Transactions

After the close of business September 18, 2009, Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio acquired the net assets of the Multimanager Health Care Portfolio pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Termination as approved by shareholders on September 10, 2009. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as a merger. The purpose of this merger was to combine two funds managed by AXA Equitable with comparable investment objectives. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange resulting in the Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio issuing 2,497,130 Class A shares and 13,092,839 Class B shares (valued at $55,141,362 and $283,699,895 respectively) in exchange for Class A shares and Class B shares of the Multimanager Health Care Portfolio. The investment portfolio of Multimanager Health Care, with a fair value of $340,840,500 and identified cost of $321,454,076 at September 18, 2009, was the principal asset acquired by Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio were recorded at fair value; however the cost basis of the investments from Multimanager Health Care Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Multimanager Health Care Portfolio’s net assets at that date of $338,841,257, including $19,386,424 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio. Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the annual reporting period of Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio, pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 would include net investment income of $10,860,305 and net gain on investments of $335,190,290, resulting in an increase in net assets from operations of $346,050,595. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since acquisition date, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Multimanager Health Care Portfolio that have been included in Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio’s Statement of Operations since the merger date, September 18, 2009. Prior to the combination, the net assets of the Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio totaled $973,340,476. Immediately after the combination, the net assets of the Multimanager Aggressive Equity Portfolio totaled $1,312,181,733.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of AXA Premier VIP Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the AXA Premier VIP Trust (as listed in note 1 to the financial statements and collectively referred to as the “Trust”) at December 31, 2009, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where such confirmations were not received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In reaching its decision to renew each Agreement, the Board considered the overall fairness of the Agreement and whether the Agreement was in the best interest of the affected Portfolio. The Board further considered factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Portfolio, including, as applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Portfolio by the Manager, each Adviser and their respective affiliates; (2) the performance of the Portfolio (and, where applicable, each portion of the Portfolio advised by a different Adviser) as compared to a peer group and/or an appropriate benchmark; (3) the level of the Portfolio’s management and subadvisory fees and expense ratios; (4) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from their relationship with the Portfolio; (5) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; and (6) the “fall out” benefits to be realized by the Manager, each Adviser and their respective affiliates (i.e., any direct or indirect benefits to be derived by the Manager, each Adviser and their respective affiliates from their relationships with the Trust). In considering each Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or information as all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have contributed different weight to each factor.

With respect to the Multimanager Portfolios, the Board also considered factors in the context of the overall objectives for the Portfolios including the following: (1) to offer a broad array of investment disciplines; (2) to provide performance over extended market cycles that exceeds the performance of the relevant benchmark with lower volatility by combining different investment styles and Advisers within the same discipline; (3) to offer a

 

377


 

product to investors that provides access to Advisers that may not otherwise be available to many of the Portfolios’ investors because of those Advisers’ minimum investment amounts; and (4) to provide active oversight through the Manager’s monitoring of compliance with performance, volatility and other stated objectives.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular and special Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal review process. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for each Portfolio, as well as periodic reports on shareholder services, legal, compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions and execution and other services provided by the Manager, the Advisers and their respective affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for each Portfolio prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent organization, as well as additional material prepared by management regarding each Portfolio. The Lipper reports compared each Portfolio’s expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Portfolio as selected by Lipper. The information prepared by management generally included Portfolio-by-Portfolio information showing each Portfolio’s management fees, advisory fees, expense ratios, expense limitation arrangements, investment performance and profitability (actual and pro forma) information, including information regarding the profitability of the Manager’s overall mutual fund operations, as well as on an individual Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis. Additional information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process was a detailed memorandum prepared by the Manager, as well as separate memoranda prepared by each Adviser, describing the services provided, fees charged, the investment performance of each Portfolio and other matters. These materials also discussed some of the actions taken by the Manager and the applicable Advisers to address problems arising out of recent market events.

The Independent Trustees met in advance of the meeting at which the Agreements were renewed, and in executive session during these meetings, to review the information provided. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel during these meetings and during their deliberations regarding the Agreements, and also received materials discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees additionally reviewed information and met during the year to discuss information relevant to the contract renewal considerations. While the Agreements for all of the Portfolios were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Portfolio separately. In approving the renewal of the relevant Agreements with respect to each Portfolio, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the existing management and (where applicable) advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable and that renewal of each Agreement was in the best interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the overall services provided by the Manager and the Advisers and, where applicable, their respective affiliates to the Portfolios. In addition to the investment performance and expense information discussed later, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Manager and each Adviser to each Portfolio and the Manager’s and each Adviser’s experience in serving as an investment adviser for the Portfolio(s) and for portfolios similar to the Portfolio(s) it advises. With respect to the Manager, the Board considered that the Manager is responsible for the search, selection and monitoring of the Advisers for the Multimanager Portfolios, oversight of the selection of investments by Advisers for the Multimanager Portfolios, the selection of investments for the Allocation Portfolios and Target Allocation Portfolios, oversight of compliance with the Portfolios’ investment objectives and policies as well as oversight of the Portfolios’ compliance with applicable law, review of brokerage matters and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Portfolios. The Board also considered information regarding the Manager’s process for selecting and monitoring Advisers and its process for making investment decisions for the Allocation Portfolios and Target Allocation Portfolios as well as the backgrounds of the personnel who perform those functions with respect to the Portfolios. With respect to the Advisers, the Board considered that each Adviser is responsible for making investment decisions on behalf of each of the allocated portions of the Portfolio(s) it advises, placing all orders for the purchase and sale of investments for each of the allocated portions it advises with brokers or dealers and performing related administrative functions. The Board also reviewed information regarding each Adviser’s investment process, the background of each portfolio manager of each Adviser who provides services to the Multimanager Portfolios and the general method of compensation for the portfolio managers.

The Board’s opinion regarding the nature, quality and extent of services also was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished to the Board showing, among other things, that the investment policies and restrictions for each Portfolio were consistently complied with, as well as other reports periodically furnished to the Board covering

 

378


 

matters such as the compliance of portfolio managers and other personnel with the applicable codes of ethics. The Board also noted the extent of the benefits provided to Portfolio shareholders as part of the Manager’s family of funds, including the wide range of Portfolios, Advisers and investment styles offered through the fund family. In addition, the Board considered, among other factors, the Manager’s and each Adviser’s best execution trading policies, including a favorable report by an independent portfolio trading analytical firm. The Board also took into account the quality of the administrative, shareholder servicing and distribution services provided to the Portfolios by the Manager and its affiliates. The Board also considered the overall performance and actions taken by the Manager and the Advisers in response to problems arising out of the market turmoil and financial crisis experienced during 2008 and 2009.

Performance. As discussed further below with respect to each Portfolio, the Board also received and reviewed information regarding the short-, intermediate- and long-term performance of each Portfolio over multiple periods, which generally included annual total returns, average annual total returns and rolling period total returns, on both an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate benchmark and/or peer group(s) provided by Lipper (with the first quartile being the best performers of the peer group and the fourth quartile being the worst performers of the peer group). In general, the Board considered long-term performance to be more important in its evaluation than short-term performance. The Board also generally considered the performance of the allocated portions of each Multimanager Portfolio and whether the performance of the portions allocated to each of the Advisers met the Board’s expectations as to the compatibility of the Advisers’ different investment strategies and styles and the contributions of each to the overall Portfolio strategy and performance. The Board took into consideration that the Lipper performance information reflected the investment performance of each Portfolio’s Class B shares, which have higher expense ratios, and therefore lower performance, than the Class A shares.

AXA Aggressive Allocation Portfolio.

The Board considered that the performance of the Portfolio’s Class B shares was in the third quartile relative to its Lipper peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended May 31, 2009. The Board also considered that the Portfolio underperformed a benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended May 31, 2009, but that the Portfolio’s performance for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended on that date generally was in line with that of the benchmark. The Board and the Manager discussed the reasons for the Portfolio’s underperformance relative to its peer group and benchmark, including the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Portfolio’s performance, and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Portfolio’s medium- and long-term performance relative to the benchmark and with the Manager’s explanations and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance.

AXA Conservative Allocation Portfolio.

The Board considered that the performance of the Portfolio’s Class B shares was in the second quartile relative to its Lipper peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended May 31, 2009, and was in the third quartile for the five-year period ended on that date. The Board also considered that the Portfolio underperformed a benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended May 31, 2009, but that the Portfolio’s performance for the five-year and since inception periods generally was in line with that of the benchmark. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies generally are more conservative than those of other portfolios included in the peer group, which may limit the Portfolio’s ability to outperform its peer group but also generally reduces the Portfolio’s risk profile. The Board and the Manager also discussed other reasons for the Portfolio’s underperformance for certain periods relative to its peer group and benchmark, including the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Portfolio’s performance, and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Portfolio’s overall performance relative to its peer group and the benchmark given the Portfolio’s conservative investment objective and policies and was satisfied with the Manager’s explanations and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance.

AXA Conservative-Plus Allocation Portfolio.

The Board considered that the performance of the Portfolio’s Class B shares was in the third quartile relative to its Lipper peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended May 31, 2009. The Board also considered that the Portfolio underperformed a benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended May 31, 2009, but that the Portfolio’s performance for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods generally was in line with that of the benchmark. The Board and the Manager discussed the reasons for the Portfolio’s

 

379


 

underperformance relative to its peer group and benchmark, including the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Portfolio’s performance, and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Portfolio’s medium- and long-term performance relative to the benchmark and with the Manager’s explanations and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance.

AXA Moderate Allocation Portfolio.

The Board considered that the performance of the Portfolio’s Class B shares was in the third quartile relative to its Lipper peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended May 31, 2009 and the fourth quartile for the ten-year period ended on the same date. The Board also considered that the Portfolio underperformed a benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended May 31, 2009, but that the Portfolio’s performance for the five- and ten-year periods generally was comparable to that of the benchmark. The Board and the Manager discussed the reasons for the Portfolio’s underperformance relative to its peer group and benchmark, including the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Portfolio’s performance, and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Portfolio’s long-term performance relative to the benchmark and with the Manager’s explanations and efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance.

AXA Moderate-Plus Allocation Portfolio.

Multimanager Technology Portfolio.

The Board considered that the performance of the Portfolio’s Class B shares was in the second quartile relative to its Lipper peer group for the five-year period ended May 31, 2009, and the third quartile relative to its peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended on that date. The Board also considered that the Portfolio outperformed its primary benchmark for the five-year period ended May 31, 2009, but underperformed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, and for the period since inception, ended on that date, but that the Portfolio’s longer-term performance approximated the benchmark. The Board and the Manager discussed the reasons for the Portfolio’s underperformance for certain periods relative to its peer group and benchmark, including the performance of certain allocated portions of the Portfolio and the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Portfolio’s performance, as well as efforts to improve the Portfolio’s overall performance. The Board considered that the Manager had taken steps to strengthen the Portfolio’s performance in December 2008 by creating an index allocated portion of the Portfolio and appointing a new Adviser to manage this portion. The Board also factored into its evaluation the fact that the Portfolio is a specialty portfolio offering a unique investment strategy that enhances the range of investment options available to investors in the fund complex. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Portfolio’s long-term performance relative to its peer group and benchmark and with the actions taken by the Manager to enhance the Portfolio’s performance.

Comparative Expenses. The Board also reviewed a comparative analysis of the contractual and net management fees and the actual expense ratios of each Portfolio compared with those of a group of other funds selected by Lipper as constituting its appropriate Lipper expense group. The Lipper expense data is based upon historical information taken from each Portfolio’s annual report for the period ended December 31, 2008 (updated to reflect changes to the contractual management fee schedules for certain Portfolios that were implemented in early 2009) and, as a result of the severe decline in mutual fund industry assets during the last quarter of 2008, is based on asset levels that are higher than the level currently existing for most Portfolios. While recognizing the

 

384


 

limitations inherent in Lipper’s methodology and that current expense ratios may increase as assets decline, the Board believed that the independent analysis conducted by Lipper remained an appropriate measure of comparative expenses. In reviewing comparative expenses, Lipper provides information on each Portfolio’s contractual investment management fee in comparison with the contractual investment management fee that would have been charged by other funds within its Lipper expense group assuming they were similar in size to the Portfolio, as well as the actual management fee and expense ratios of the Portfolio in comparison with those of its expense group. The Lipper investment management fee analysis includes within such fee any separate administrative fees, and the Lipper expense ratios are shown for Class A and Class B shares of the relevant Portfolio. For the Multimanager Portfolios, the Board also considered a separate report provided by Lipper containing similar information regarding the management fee and expense ratios for each Multimanager Portfolio relative to the median and average management fee and expense ratio for a peer group of multi-adviser portfolios. In reviewing the comparative expense information, the Board also considered each Portfolio’s investment management fee and, where applicable, investment advisory fees, in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager and Adviser(s).

Allocation Portfolios.

The Board considered that the contractual management fees for the AXA Aggressive Allocation Portfolio, AXA Conservative Allocation Portfolio, AXA Conservative-Plus Allocation Portfolio and AXA Moderate Allocation Portfolio were above the medians for their respective Lipper peer groups. The Board noted, however, that the Manager had agreed to make payments or waive all or a portion of its management, administration and other fees so that each Portfolio’s expense ratios did not exceed certain levels as set forth in the prospectus, and that as a result of these waivers and reimbursements each Portfolio’s net management fee was below, or, in the case of the AXA Conservative-Plus Portfolio, the same as, the median for its Lipper peer group. The Board also considered that the expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Portfolios invest) for each Portfolio’s Class A and Class B shares were in the first and third quartiles, respectively, relative to the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board noted the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the Portfolios, including the resources devoted to Portfolio compliance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Manager’s management fee rate and the expense ratios of each Portfolio.

The Board considered that the contractual management fee for the AXA Moderate-Plus Allocation Portfolio was above the median for its Lipper peer group. The Board noted, however, that the Manager had agreed to make payments or waive all or a portion of its management, administration and other fees so that the Portfolio’s expense ratios did not exceed certain levels as set forth in the prospectus. The Board also considered that the expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Portfolio invests) for the Portfolio’s Class A and Class B shares were in the second and third quartiles, respectively, relative to the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board noted the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the Portfolio, including the resources devoted to Portfolio compliance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Manager’s management fee rate and the expense ratios of the Portfolio.

Target Allocation Portfolios.

The Board considered that each Portfolio’s contractual management fee was above the median for its Lipper peer group. The Board noted, however, that the Manager had agreed to make payments or waive all or a portion of its management, administration and other fees so that each Portfolio’s expense ratios did not exceed certain levels as set forth in the prospectus, and that as a result of these waivers and reimbursements each Portfolio’s net management fee was below the median for its Lipper peer group. The Board also considered that the expense ratios (excluding fees and expenses of other investment companies in which each Portfolio invests) for each Portfolio’s Class A and Class B shares were above the median for the Portfolio’s peer group. In addition, the Board noted the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the Target Allocation Portfolios, including the resources devoted to Portfolio compliance. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Manager’s management fee rate and the expense ratios of each Portfolio, noting that the Portfolios were among the smallest Portfolios in the Trust and that their expenses were subsidized through fee waivers and reimbursements.

Multimanager Portfolios.

The Board considered that the contractual management fee and actual expense ratios for each Multimanager Portfolio generally were higher than the median contractual management fee and actual expense ratio for the

 

385


 

particular Portfolio’s Lipper peer group (except for the actual expense ratios of the Class A shares of the Aggressive Equity, Core Bond, International Equity, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Multi-Sector Bond, Small Cap Growth and Small Cap Value Portfolios, which were the same as or below the median for their respective Lipper peer groups). The Board determined, however, that the higher contractual management fees and expense ratios were consistent with the higher costs and greater complexity associated with multi-manager funds and generally with the higher contractual median management fees and expense ratios of other multi-manager funds. The Board also noted the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the Multimanager Portfolios, including the resources devoted to Portfolio compliance. In addition, the Board noted that, effective January 2009, the Manager had reduced the contractual management fee rate for each Multimanager Portfolio and that the Manager had agreed to reduce each Multimanager Portfolio’s administration fee effective September 1, 2009. The Board further noted that each Multimanager Portfolio’s management fee includes breakpoints, which reduce the management fee as the assets of the Portfolio increase, and that, with respect to the Core Bond Portfolio, the Manager had agreed to make payments or waive all or a portion of its management, administration and other fees so that the Portfolio’s expense ratios did not exceed certain levels as set forth in the Portfolio’s prospectus. The Board also considered that disclosure of all fees and expenses of each Multimanager Portfolio is explicit to potential and current shareholders. In connection with its deliberations regarding the renewal of the Advisory Agreements for the Multimanager Portfolios, the Board also examined the advisory fees paid with respect to each Portfolio in light of the fees paid by similar portfolios advised by each Adviser. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the Manager’s and each Adviser’s fee rate and the expense ratios of each Multimanager Portfolio.

Profitability and Costs. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of each Portfolio. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Portfolio profitability information setting forth the overall profitability of the Trust to the Manager, as well as the Manager’s profits in providing management and other services to each of the individual Portfolios during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2008, which was the most recent fiscal year end for the Manager. During portions of such period, the assets of the Trust were significantly higher than at the time the Board met to consider the renewal of the Agreements, and to such extent, the profitability analysis did not reflect fund operations as of that time. While taking this into account in assessing the significance of the Portfolio profitability analysis, the Board recognized such analysis was made at a given point in time and that the decline in assets and effect on profitability would be more fully reflected in the profitability analysis covering the Manager’s 2009 fiscal year period. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Manager regarding the potential impact on profitability of certain contractual changes to the management fee schedules for certain Portfolios that were implemented in early 2009.

In reviewing the analysis, attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to each Portfolio, it being recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In this respect, the Board noted that, while being continuously refined and reflecting changes in the Manager’s own cost accounting and other appropriate adjustments, the cost allocation methodology was consistent with that followed in profitability report presentations for the Portfolios made in prior years. In reviewing and discussing such analysis, the Manager discussed with the Board its belief that costs incurred in establishing the infrastructure necessary for the type of mutual fund operations conducted by the Manager and its affiliates may not be fully reflected in the expenses allocated to each Portfolio in determining its profitability, as well as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by management. The Board also took into account management’s ongoing costs and expenditures in providing and improving services for the Portfolios, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recently adopted SEC rules and other regulatory requirements. In addition, the Board considered information prepared by management comparing the profitability of the Manager on an overall basis as compared to other publicly held managers broken down to show profitability from management operations exclusive of distribution expenses, as well as profitability including distribution expenses.

The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from Portfolio operations, including the following. The Board noted that the Manager also serves as the administrator for the Portfolios, receiving compensation for acting in this capacity. In addition, the Board recognized that two of the Manager’s affiliates, AllianceBernstein and AXA Rosenberg, serve as Advisers to certain Portfolios and receive advisory fees that are paid by the Manager out of the fees that it earns from those Portfolios. The Board also recognized that AXA Advisors, LLC and AXA Distributors, LLC, which also are affiliated with the Manager, serve as the underwriters for the Trust and receive payments pursuant to Rule 12b-1 plans from the

 

386


 

Portfolios with respect to their Class B shares to compensate them for providing shareholder services and selling activities, which could lead to growth in the Trust’s assets and corresponding benefits from such growth, including economies of scale. Further, the Board considered that Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC, a registered broker-dealer, is an affiliate of the Manager and from time to time may receive brokerage commissions from the Portfolios in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, provided, however, that those transactions, among other things, must be consistent with seeking best execution. The Board also recognized that the Allocation Portfolios and Target Allocation Portfolios invest in other portfolios managed by the Manager and advised by Advisers that may be affiliates of the Manager and that these underlying portfolios pay management and administration fees to the Manager, who may in certain cases pay advisory fees to affiliated Advisers, and pay distribution fees to the Manager’s distribution affiliates. The Board also noted that the Manager, as the depositor of insurance company separate accounts investing in the Portfolios, receives certain significant tax benefits associated with such investments. Based on its consideration of the factors above, the Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates from providing services to each Portfolio was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.

With respect to the Multimanager Portfolios, the Manager advised the Board that it does not regard Adviser profitability as meaningful to an evaluation of the Agreements with the Advisers because the willingness of the Advisers to serve in such capacity depends upon arm’s-length negotiations with the Manager, the Manager generally is aware of the fees charged by the Advisers to other clients, and the Manager believes that the fees agreed upon with the Advisers are reasonable in light of the quality of investment advisory services rendered. The Board accepted the Manager’s explanation in light of the Board’s findings as to the reasonableness of the aggregate investment advisory fees paid by each Portfolio and the fact that each Adviser’s fee is paid by the Manager. However, in its consideration of the Advisory Agreements, the Board noted, among other things, that each Adviser may derive ancillary benefits from Portfolio operations. For example, each Adviser, through its position as an Adviser to its Portfolio(s), may engage in soft dollar transactions. The Board received information regarding each Adviser’s procedures for executing portfolio transactions for the allocated portion of the Portfolio(s) it advises and each Adviser’s policies and procedures for the selection of brokers and dealers and obtaining research from those brokers and dealers. In addition, the Board considered that each Adviser may be affiliated with registered broker-dealers, who may, from time to time, receive brokerage commissions from the Portfolios in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities; provided, however, that those transactions, among other things, must be consistent with seeking best execution. The Board also recognized that affiliates of the Advisers may sell, and earn sales commissions and/or other compensation with respect to, insurance products issued by the Manager or its affiliates and that the proceeds of those sales may be invested in the Portfolios.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized by the Manager as the Portfolios grow larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subject to assumptions and subjective assessments, the Board noted that economies of scale are shared with each Multimanager Portfolio and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a Portfolio grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The Board also noted that, effective January 2009, the Manager had reduced the contractual management fee rate for each Multimanager Portfolio and that the Manager had agreed to reduce the Portfolio’s administration fee effective September 1, 2009. The Board also believed that the asset sizes of the Target Allocation Portfolios, the Trust’s smallest Portfolios, did not afford any economies of scale, and noted that the Manager was subsidizing the expenses of these Portfolios. The Board also noted that, although the management and administration fees for each Allocation Portfolio do not include breakpoints, the Manager was subsidizing each Allocation Portfolio’s expenses and that, as a result of the waivers and reimbursements with respect to each Portfolio, each Portfolio’s (except the AXA Moderate-Plus Allocation Portfolio’s) actual management fee was the same as or below the median for its Lipper peer group.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

At a subsequent meeting held on December 9, 2009, the Trust’s Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved an Advisory Agreement between the Manager and BlackRock Investment Management LLC (“BlackRock”) with respect to the Multimanager International Equity Portfolio, Multimanager Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, Multimanager Mid Cap Value Portfolio, Multimanager Small Cap Growth Portfolio and Multimanager Small Cap Value Portfolio. When effective BlackRock will be responsible for managing the index

allocated portion of each Portfolio and replace the prior Adviser for this portion of each Portfolio. In addition, BlackRock will be responsible for managing an additional investment strategy that also was approved for each Portfolio at the meeting, which focuses on investments in futures and options contracts to manage equity market exposure. Information regarding this additional investment strategy is available in each Portfolio’s current Prospectus, as supplemented.

In reaching its decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the overall fairness of the Advisory Agreement and whether the Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of each Portfolio. The Board further considered factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Portfolio, including, as applicable: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by BlackRock and its respective affiliates; (2) composite performance of the relevant index strategies managed by BlackRock as well as other performance information; (3) the proposed subadvisory fees; (4) the impact of the appointment of BlackRock on the Manager’s profitability; (5) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Portfolio’s expenses; and (6) the “fall out” benefits to be realized by the Manager, BlackRock and their respective affiliates (i.e., any direct or indirect benefits to be derived by the Manager, BlackRock and their respective affiliates). In considering the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or information as all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have contributed different weight to each factor.

The Board also considered factors in the context of the overall objectives for the Portfolios as multi-advised portfolios, including the following: (1) to offer a broad array of investment disciplines; (2) to provide performance over extended market cycles that exceeds the performance of the relevant benchmark with lower volatility by combining different investment styles and Advisers within the same discipline; (3) to offer a product to investors that provides access to Advisers that may not otherwise be available to many of the Portfolios’ investors because of those Advisers’ minimum investment amounts; and (4) to provide active oversight through the Manager’s monitoring of compliance with performance, volatility and other stated objectives.

Information furnished specifically in connection with the approval process included a detailed memorandum and other materials prepared by the Manager, as well as a separate memorandum prepared by BlackRock, describing, among other things, the services to be provided by BlackRock and the investment personnel of BlackRock, current and proposed advisory fees, performance information and other matters. The information regarding BlackRock and the Advisory Agreement was provided to the Trustees prior to the meeting. During the meeting, the Trustees reviewed the information provided and the Independent Trustees also met in executive session during the meeting to review this information. The Independent Trustees were assisted by independent counsel during these meetings and during their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, and also received materials discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Advisory Agreement. While the Advisory Agreement for each of the Portfolios was considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Portfolio separately. In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Portfolio, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the proposed advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable and that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Portfolio and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses some of the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the overall services to be provided by BlackRock to the Portfolios. In addition to the investment performance information discussed later, the Board considered the responsibilities and experience of BlackRock. The Board also considered that BlackRock would be responsible for making investment decisions on behalf of the index allocated portions of the Portfolios and implementing each Portfolio’s futures and options strategy, placing all orders for the purchase and sale of investments for assets managed by BlackRock with brokers or dealers and performing related administrative functions. The Board reviewed, among other things, information regarding BlackRock’s investment process, experience managing portfolios with similar investment strategies, the background of each portfolio manager of BlackRock who would provide services to the Portfolios, the general method of compensation for the portfolio managers and BlackRock’s best execution trading policies.

Performance. The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the composite performance of BlackRock’s relevant index strategies that generally showed annual returns over a ten year period, as well as the hypothetical performance of the futures and options strategy under different market conditions. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with the performance of BlackRock’s index strategies, noting that the tracking error was reasonable, and with the Manager’s explanation that the futures and options strategy could reduce the risk of investing in the Portfolios and potentially enhance each Portfolio’s long term performance.

 

388


 

Fees, Economies of Scale and Profitability. The Board also considered the proposed advisory fee for each Portfolio in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by BlackRock. The Board compared the proposed fee to the current advisory fee for the index allocated portion of each Portfolio and also considered that the futures and options strategy is a relatively unique strategy requiring additional skills and experience. In connection with its deliberations, the Board also examined whether the advisory fees include breakpoints in the fees as assets of the Portfolios grow. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee includes breakpoints, and in addition, economies of scale are shared with each Portfolio and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a Portfolio grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. The Board further considered the impact of the proposed advisory fees on the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates. The Manager further advised the Board that it does not regard BlackRock’s profitability as meaningful to an evaluation of the Advisory Agreement because the willingness of BlackRock to serve in such capacity depends upon arm’s-length negotiations with the Manager, the Manager generally is aware of the fees charged by BlackRock to other clients, and the Manager believes that the fees agreed upon with BlackRock are reasonable in light of the quality of investment advisory services rendered. The Board accepted the Manager’s explanation in light of the Board’s findings as to the reasonableness of the proposed advisory fees to be paid by each Portfolio and the fact that BlackRock’s fee is paid by the Manager. Based on its review, the Board was satisfied with BlackRock’s proposed fee rate.

Fall-Out Benefits. In its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board also noted, among other things, that the Manager and BlackRock may derive ancillary benefits from Portfolio operations. For example, the Board considered that the appointment of BlackRock and the implementation of the futures and options strategy could reduce the risk of investing in the Portfolios and potentially enhance the performance of the Portfolios, but also could benefit the Manager and its affiliates, for example, by reducing the risk that the assets of the Portfolios, and therefore the Manager’s management fee and other revenue from the Portfolio, will decline or fluctuate significantly and by reducing the risks associated with guarantees that the Manager and its affiliates provide as the issuers of certain variable insurance contracts that offer the Portfolios as investment options. In addition, the Board considered that BlackRock, through its position as an Adviser to the Portfolios, may engage in soft dollar transactions. The Board received information regarding BlackRock’s procedures for executing portfolio transactions for the Portfolios and BlackRock’s policies and procedures for the selection of brokers and dealers and obtaining research from those brokers and dealers. In addition, the Board considered that BlackRock is affiliated with registered broker-dealers, which may, from time to time, receive brokerage commissions from the Portfolios in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities; provided, however, that those transactions, among other things, must be consistent with seeking best execution. The Board also recognized that affiliates of BlackRock may sell, and earn sales commissions and/or other compensation with respect to, insurance products issued by the Manager or its affiliates and that the proceeds of those sales may be invested in the Portfolios.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 2, that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the registrant’s code of ethics is filed as an exhibit pursuant to Item 12(a)(1).

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that Gerald C. Crotty and Barry Hamerling each serve on its audit committee as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 3. Messrs. Crotty and Hamerling are each considered to be “independent” for purposes of Item 3(a)(2).

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(e)(1)

The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to pre-approval of services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant. Audit, audit-related and tax services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require pre-approval by the entire audit committee. With respect to audit fees, the audit committee also pre-approves an additional amount above the pre-approved amount to allow for unanticipated scope extensions and overruns. Any audit amounts in excess of the pre-approved amounts must be approved by the audit committee or its delegate prior to payment. The audit committee chair also has the authority to approve de minimis non-audit services (i.e., services in which the fee does not exceed $10,000 per engagement) to be provided by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, provided that each such service is brought to the attention of the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements.

(g) For fiscal year 2009: $6,043,694

      For fiscal year 2008: $6,324,127

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
