EQ/Small Company Index Portfolio

EQ/Small Company Index Portfolio – Class IA, IB and K Shares

Investment Objective:

Seeks to replicate as closely as possible (before expenses) the total return of the Russell 2000^® Index (“Russell 2000”).

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.

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, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. This Example does not reflect any Contract-related fees and expenses including redemption fees (if any) at the Contract level. If such fees and expenses were reflected, the total expenses would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, whether you redeem or hold your shares, your costs would be:

Expense Example - EQ/Small Company Index Portfolio - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class IA Shares	64	202	351	786
Class IB Shares	64	202	351	786
Class K Shares	39	122	213	480

Expense Example, No Redemption - EQ/Small Company Index Portfolio - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class IA Shares	64	202	351	786
Class IB Shares	64	202	351	786
Class K Shares	39	122	213	480

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 14% 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 small-cap companies included in the Russell 2000^® Index (“Russell 2000”). The Portfolio’s investments in equity securities of small-cap companies included in the Russell 2000 may include financial instruments that derive their value from such securities. As of December 31, 2019, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 was $12.7 million to $8.3 billion. The Sub-Adviser seeks to match the returns (before expenses) of the Russell 2000. This strategy is commonly referred to as an indexing strategy. The Portfolio invests in a statistically selected sample of the securities found in the Russell 2000, using a process known as “optimization.” This process selects stocks for the Portfolio so that industry weightings, market capitalizations and fundamental characteristics (price to book ratios, price to earnings ratios, debt to asset ratios and dividend yields) closely match those of the securities included in the Russell 2000. This approach helps to increase the Portfolio’s liquidity and reduce costs. The securities held by the Portfolio are weighted to make the Portfolio’s total investment characteristics similar to those of the Russell 2000 as a whole.

Over time, the correlation between the performance of the Portfolio and the Russell 2000 is expected to be 95% or higher before the deduction of Portfolio expenses. The Portfolio seeks to track the Russell 2000; therefore, the Sub-Adviser generally will not attempt to judge the merits of any particular security as an investment. The Portfolio will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its total assets) in securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Russell 2000 is concentrated.

The Portfolio also may lend its portfolio securities to earn additional income.

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. The value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in the Portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objective.

The following risks can negatively affect the Portfolio’s performance. The most significant risks are listed first, followed by additional risks in alphabetical order.

Index Strategy Risk: The Portfolio employs an index strategy and generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in market trends or the economy, which means that the Portfolio 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 the relevant index, the Portfolio may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the relevant index. To the extent the Portfolio utilizes a representative sampling approach, it may experience tracking error to a greater extent than if the Portfolio sought to replicate the index.

Small-Cap Company Risk: Small-cap companies carry additional risks because the operating histories of these companies tend to be more limited, their earnings and revenues less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. The shares of smaller companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the Portfolio’s ability to purchase or sell these securities.

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

Market Risk: The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect Portfolio performance. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact a market as a whole. Geo-political risks, including terrorism, tensions or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major players on the world stage, may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to increased market volatility, and may have adverse long-term effects. Events such as natural disasters or pandemics, and governments’ reactions to such events, could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant on information data systems. Inaccurate data, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at-large.

Portfolio Management Risk: The Portfolio is subject to the risk that strategies used by an investment manager and its securities selections fail to produce the intended results. An investment manager’s judgments or decisions about the quality, relative yield or value of, or market trends affecting, a particular security or issuer, industry, sector, region or market segment, or about the economy or interest rates, may be incorrect or otherwise may not produce the intended results, which may result in losses to the Portfolio. In addition, many processes used in Portfolio management, including security selection, rely, in whole or in part, on the use of various technologies. The Portfolio may suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, or the analyses employed or relied on, by an investment manager, or if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly, fail to produce the desired results, or otherwise do not work as intended. There can be no assurance that the use of these technologies will result in effective investment decisions for the Portfolio.

Sector Risk: From time to time, based on market or economic conditions, the Portfolio may have significant positions in one or more sectors of the market. To the extent the Portfolio invests more heavily in particular sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. The industries that constitute a sector may all react in the same way to economic, political or regulatory events.

Securities Lending Risk: The Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to seek income. There is a risk that a borrower may default on its obligations to return loaned securities. The Portfolio will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral and may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet obligations to the borrower. Securities lending may introduce leverage into the Portfolio. In addition, delays may occur in the recovery of loaned securities from borrowers, which could interfere with the Portfolio’s ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions.

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 (or since inception) through December 31, 2019 compared to the returns of a broad-based securities market index. The return of the broad-based securities market index (and any additional comparative index) shown in the right hand column below is the return of the index for the last 10 years or, if shorter, since the inception of the share class with the longest history. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

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