You should read this Supplement in connection with the Prospectus and retain it for future reference. You may obtain an additional copy of the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information, free of charge, by writing to the Trust at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104 or by visiting the Trust’s website at www.axa-equitablefunds.com.

The purpose of this Supplement is to provide you with information about: (1) changes to the investment objective and principal investment strategy for the Portfolio and related changes to the principal risks and expenses of the Portfolio; and (2) changes to the Portfolio Manager of the Portfolio.

*****

Effective on or about December 15, 2010, the investment objective, and principal investment strategy of the Portfolio will change to reflect the conversion of the Portfolio from an active strategy to a passive strategy that seeks to track the performance of the FTSE 100 Index, TOPIX Index, DJ EuroSTOXX 50 Index and S&P/ASX 200 Index. AllianceBernstein L.P. will remain the adviser for the Portfolio.

In connection with these changes, effective December 15, 2010, information in the “About the Investment Portfolios – EQ/AllianceBernstein International Portfolio” section of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the information below.

EQ/AllianceBernstein International Portfolio – Class IA and IB Shares

Investment Objective: Seeks to achieve a total return (before expenses) that approximates the total return performance of a composite index comprised of 40% DJ EuroSTOXX 50 Index, 25% FTSE 100 Index, 25% TOPIX Index, and 10% S&P/ASX 200 Index, including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the composite index.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE PORTFOLIO

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

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Not applicable.
Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses† (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
EQ/AllianceBernstein International Portfolio	Class IA Shares	Class IB Shares
Management Fee	0.40%	0.40%
Distribution and/or Service Fees (12b-1 Fees)	None	0.25%
Other Expenses	0.13%	0.13%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	0.53%	0.78%

†   Expenses have been restated to reflect current fees.

Example

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

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class IA Shares	$54	$170	$296	$665
Class IB Shares	$80	$249	$433	$966

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 85% of the average value of the Portfolio.

INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE

Principal Investment Strategy: Under normal circumstances the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies represented in the FTSE 100 Index (“FTSE 100”), TOPIX Index (“TOPIX”), DJ EuroSTOXX 50 Index (“EuroSTOXX 50”), and S&P/ASX 200 Index (“S&P/ASX 200”). The Portfolio intends to allocate its assets 25% to securities in the FTSE 100, 25% to securities in the TOPIX, 40% to securities in the EuroSTOXX 50, and 10% to securities in the S&P/ASX 200.

The Portfolio’s investments will be selected by a stratified sampling construction process in which the Adviser selects a subset of the companies represented in each index based on the Adviser’s analysis of key risk factors and other characteristics. Such factors include industry weightings, market capitalizations, return variability, and yields.

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

Performance may be affected by one or more of the following risks, which are described in detail in the section of the Portfolio’s Prospectus “More Information on Strategies, Risks and Benchmarks:”

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

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

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

Emerging Markets Risk: There are greater risks involved in investing in emerging market countries and/or their securities markets. Investments in these countries and/or markets may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed countries. In addition, the risks associated with investing in a narrowly defined geographic area are generally more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging market countries.

Index Strategy Risk: A Portfolio that employs an index strategy generally invests in the securities included in the relevant index or a representative sample of such securities regardless of market trends. Such a portfolio generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in the economy, which means that it may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. In addition, although the index strategy attempts to closely track its benchmark index, the Portfolio may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Also, the Portfolio’s fees and expenses will reduce the Portfolio’s returns, unlike those of the benchmark index. Cash flow into and out of the Portfolio, portfolio transaction costs, changes in the securities that comprise the index, and the Portfolio’s valuation procedures also may affect the Portfolio’s performance. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the benchmark.

Large-Cap Company Risk: Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high

growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Mid-Cap Company Risk: The Portfolio’s investments in mid-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers. Risk is greater for the common stocks of mid-cap companies because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Such companies generally have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. Their securities may be less well-known and trade less frequently and in limited volume compared with the securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the Portfolio may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price. Mid-cap companies also are typically subject to greater changes in earnings and business prospects than larger companies. Consequently, the prices of mid-cap company stocks tend to rise and fall in value more frequently than the stocks of larger companies. Although investing in mid-cap companies offers potential for above-average returns, the companies may not succeed and the value of their stock could decline significantly.

Portfolio Turnover Risk: High portfolio turnover (generally, turnover, in excess of 100% in any given fiscal year) may result in increased transaction costs to a Portfolio, which may result in higher fund expenses and lower total return.

Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the past one, five and ten years through December 31, 2009 compare to the returns of a broad-based market index. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

The performance results do not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses, which would reduce the performance results.

Average Annual Total Returns
	One Year		Five Years		Ten Years
EQ/AllianceBernstein International Portfolio – Class IA Shares	27.52	%	0.17	%	-1.40	%
EQ/AllianceBernstein International Portfolio – Class IB Shares	27.45	%	-0.05	%	-1.65	%
40% EuroSTOXX 50/25% FTSE 100/25% TOPIX/10% S&P/ASX 200+	30.78	%	4.05	%	1.68	%
EuroSTOXX 50+	30.36	%	5.12	%	1.67	%
MSCI EAFE Index	31.78	%	3.54	%	1.17	%

+    Effective December 15, 2010, the Portfolio changed its benchmark because the Manager believes the new benchmarks reflect more closely the securities and sectors in which the Portfolio invests.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

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