DAA Adjustments Have Provided a Smoother Ride

April 2010–December 2015

As of December 31, 2015*Adjustments are to the return-seeking exposure of a moderate portfolioHistorical analysis is not necessarily predictive of future results. There is no guarantee that any estimates or forecasts will be realized.**Rolling-one-year estimated volatility, calculated as the standard deviation of returns. Moderate Account results are based on a portfolio that has a long-term strategic allocation of 56%% to global equities (the MSCI World Index), 40% to bonds (the Barclays US Aggregate Treasury Index) and 4% to a custom real asset index including commodities, commodity producers, and global REITs but that deviates based on positioning. Figures do not sum due to rounding. See “Information on Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)” at the end of this presentation.Source: Barclays, MSCI, and AB

1. General Notes: a. Performance Statistics Are Not Financial Statements—There are various methods of compiling or reporting performance statistics. The standards of

performance measurement used in compiling these data are in accordance with the methods set forth below. Past performance does not guarantee future results. A portfolio could suffer losses as well as achieve gains.

b. Composite Structure—The Bernstein US Strategic Equities composite (the “Composite”) includes only fee-paying discretionary private-client accounts not subject to significant investment restrictions imposed by clients. The minimum account size included in the Composite is $50,000.

c. Rate of Return—Performance returns for each account are calculated monthly, using trade-date accounting. Performance results are reported on a total-return basis, which includes all income from dividends and interest, and realized and unrealized gains or losses. All cash flows are daily-weighted using the Modified Dietz Method. The monthly Composite returns are calculated by weighting each account’s monthly return by its beginning market value as a percent of the total Composite’s beginning market value. These monthly performance figures are geometrically linked to calculate cumulative and/or annualized “time-weighted” rates of return for various time periods. Closed accounts are included in the Composite for each full quarter prior to their closing.

d. Benchmark—The benchmark for the Composite is the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is widely regarded as the standard for measuring large-cap US stock-market performance.

2. Net-of-fee performance for the Composite is presented net of only investment-management fees of 40 basis points (0.40%). Additional fees for investment advice, wealth planning and analysis, conferences, website access and other Bernstein private-client services are also assessed as provided in the Bernstein fee schedule applicable to the account. Please consult your Bernstein advisor for additional information. Net-of-fee returns for the Composite since its 6/30/2012 inception are as follows: 7/1-12/31/12: 4.9%; 2013: 33.1%; 2014: 12.9%.

3. Dispersion—Dispersion is calculated on the gross-of-fee annual returns of the accounts included in the Composite for all 12 months of the calendar year; it is the asset-weighted standard deviation of these returns. The Composite’s calendar year dispersion is as follows: 2013: 0.7%; 2014: 0.6%.

1. General Notes: a. Performance Statistics Are Not Financial Statements—There are various methods of compiling or reporting performance statistics. The standards of

performance measurement used in compiling these data are in accordance with the methods set forth below. Past performance does not guarantee future results. A portfolio could suffer losses as well as achieve gains.

b. Composite Structure—Beginning in 1993, the Bernstein US Strategic Value composite (the “Composite”) includes only fee-paying private and institutional discretionary accounts not subject to significant investment restrictions imposed by clients. From 1974 through 1992, the Composite includes all private and institutional discretionary US Strategic Value accounts.

c. Rate of Return—Performance returns for each account are calculated monthly using trade-date accounting. Performance results are reported on a total-return basis, which includes all income from dividends and interest, and realized and unrealized gains or losses. Prior to July 1993, all cash flows were assumed to have occurred on the last day of the month. From July 1993 through 2000, if an account’s net monthly cash flows were equal to or exceeded 10% of its beginning market value, the Modified Dietz Method was used to daily-weight the cash flows. When an account’s net monthly cash flows were less than 10% of its beginning market value, the cash flows were assumed to have occurred on the last day of the month. Beginning in 2001, all cash flows are daily-weighted using the Modified Dietz Method. Beginning in 1993, the monthly Composite returns are calculated by weighting each account’s monthly return by its beginning market value as a percent of the total Composite’s beginning market value. Prior to 1993, the Composite results are equal-weighted on a quarterly basis. These monthly and quarterly performance figures are geometrically linked to calculate cumulative and/or annualized “time-weighted” rates of return for various time periods. Closed accounts are included in the Composite for each full quarter prior to their closing.

d. Benchmark—The benchmark for the Composite is the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is widely regarded as the standard for measuring large-cap US stock market performance.

2. Net-of-fee performance figures for the Composite have been calculated as follows: a. Prior to 1983, management fees were not charged; instead, the accounts incurred transaction costs.b. From 1983 through 1992, the Composite’s net-of-fee return is the equal-weighted average of the actual after-fee returns of each account in the

Composite. From 1993 through June 2012, the Composite’s net-of-fee return is the asset-weighted average of the actual after-fee returns of each account in the Composite.

c. From July 2012 to present, the Composite’s net-of-fee performance is presented net of only investment management fees of 40 basis points. Additional fees for investment advice, wealth planning and analysis, conferences, website access and other Bernstein private client services are also assessed as provided in the Bernstein fee schedule applicable to the account. Please consult your Bernstein advisor for additional information.

d. Net-of-fee returns for the past 10 years are as follows: 2004: 13.5%; 2005: 8.6%; 2006: 20.1%; 2007: (1.4)%; 2008: (46.8)%; 2009: 28.6%; 2010: 11.6%; 2011: (7.1)%; 2012: 13.5%; 2013: 40.8%; 2014: 13.6%.

3. Dispersion—Dispersion is calculated on the gross-of-fee annual returns of the accounts included in the Composite for all 12 months of the calendar year; it is the asset-weighted standard deviation of these returns. The Composite’s dispersion of returns for the last 10 years is as follows: 2004: 1.2%; 2005: 1.1%; 2006: 0.8%; 2007: 1.1%; 2008: 1.0%; 2009: 2.1%: 2010: 1.1%; 2011: 0.8%; 2012: 0.7%; 2013: 1.2%; 2014: 0.8%
