Dear Shareholder:

 

I ask for your vote on important matters affecting the Enterprise Technology Fund and Enterprise Total Return Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds,” each of which is a series of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), that will be considered at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 20, 2005.

 

The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) has called this meeting to request shareholder approval of the merger of each Fund into a series of AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (the “Trust”), which is managed by the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”). In particular, you will be asked to approve the merger of:

 

  (1) The Enterprise Technology Fund into the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund; and

 

  (2) The Enterprise Total Return Fund into the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund.

 

As a shareholder of one or more Funds, you are asked to review the enclosed combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus carefully and to cast your vote on the proposals. The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

 

Following the acquisition of The MONY Group, Inc. by AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”) on July 8, 2004, Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (“Enterprise Capital”), the Corporation’s investment manager, and AXA Equitable (collectively, the “Managers”) reviewed the operations of the Corporation and the Trust and determined that it would be in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders to combine similar mutual funds offered by the Managers. They determined that these actions would strengthen their mutual fund offerings in various asset categories and facilitate the marketing of shares of the AXA Equitable family of mutual funds, which potentially could lead to increased cash flows and growth in assets and the resulting benefits to shareholders. The Board of Directors has approved these proposals.

 

Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. Voting your shares early will avoid costly follow-up mail and telephone solicitation. After reviewing the enclosed materials, please complete, sign and date your proxy card and mail it promptly in the enclosed return envelope, or help save time and postage costs by voting by telephone, through the Internet or in person. We have retained an outside firm that specializes in proxy solicitations (the “proxy solicitor”) to assist us with any necessary follow up. If we do not hear from you by                     , 2005, the proxy solicitor may contact you. If you have any questions about the proposals or the voting instructions, please call us at [800-368-3527].

 

Very truly yours,

VOTING INFORMATION

 

Record Date and Share Ownership

 

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 24, 2005 (“Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. In the absence of a quorum or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting, but votes sufficient to approve the proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies that they are entitled to vote “FOR” the proposals in favor of such an adjournment and will vote those proxies required to be voted “AGAINST” the proposals against such adjournment. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Information as to the number of outstanding shares of the Fund as of the Record Date is set forth below:

 

Fund


   Total
Number


   Number of
Class A


   Number of
Class B


   Number of
Class C


   Number of
Class Y


Enterprise Technology Fund

                        

Enterprise Total Return Fund

                        

 

[Except as set forth in Appendix A,] Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (“Enterprise Capital”) does not know of any person who owned beneficially or of record 5% or more of any class of shares of a Fund or 25% of the total number of shares of a Fund as of the Record Date. As of that same date, the directors and officers of the Corporation as a group owned less than 1% of any class of the Corporation’s outstanding shares.

 

Submitting and Revoking Your Proxy

 

All properly executed and unrevoked proxies received in time for the Meeting will be voted as instructed by shareholders. If you execute your proxy but give no voting instructions, your shares that are represented by proxies will be voted “FOR” approval of each Reorganization set forth in Proposals 1 and 2. In addition, if other matters are properly presented for voting at the Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. We have not received notice of other matters that may properly be presented for voting at the Meeting.

 

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held and a fractional vote for each fractional share held. To pass, each proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the proposal.

 

To ensure that your vote is recorded promptly, please vote as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the Meeting in person. Most shareholders have three options for submitting their votes: (1) via the Internet, (2) by phone or (3) by mail. If you have Internet access, we encourage you to record your vote on the Internet. It is convenient, and it saves the Corporation significant postage and processing costs. In addition, when you vote via the Internet or by phone prior to the date of the Meeting, your vote is recorded immediately and there is no risk that postal delays will cause your vote to arrive late and therefore not be counted. If you attend the Meeting, you may also submit your vote in person, and any previous votes that you submitted, whether by Internet, phone or mail, will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the Meeting.

 

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise by submitting: (1) a later-dated vote, in person at the Meeting, via the Internet, by telephone or by mail, or (2) written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation (“Secretary”). To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting and must indicate your name and account number.

 

1


For purposes of determining whether shareholders have approved a proposal, broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers) and abstentions will be counted as shares present at the Meeting for quorum purposes but will not be voted for or against any adjournment or proposal. Accordingly, broker non-votes and abstentions effectively will be votes “AGAINST” a proposal because a proposal requires the affirmative vote of a specified majority of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

The Funds will bear the expense of soliciting proxies, and have retained                      for a fee of $             plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Certain directors, officers and other employees of the Corporation or AXA Equitable, without additional compensation, also may solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, e-mail or otherwise. The Corporation will request that brokers and nominees who hold shares of a Fund in their names forward these proxy materials to the beneficial owners of those shares. The Funds may reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

SUMMARY

 

You should read this entire Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully. For additional information, you should consult the Reorganization Agreement, which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

 

The Proposed Reorganizations

 

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is soliciting shareholders with investments in one or more of the Acquired Funds to approve the Reorganization Agreement, whereby each Acquired Fund will be reorganized into an Acquiring Fund. The Acquired Fund shares also are divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares (collectively, “Acquired Fund Shares”). The Acquiring Fund shares are divided into four classes, also designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares (collectively, “Acquiring Fund Shares”); and the Acquiring Funds offer a fifth class of shares, designated Class P shares, that are not involved in the Reorganization and are not included in the term “Acquiring Fund Shares.”

 

The Reorganization Agreement provides, with respect to each transaction described therein each, a “Reorganization”), for:

 

  the transfer of all the assets of the Acquired Fund to an Acquiring Fund, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate value equal to the net assets of the Acquired Fund;

 

  the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the stated liabilities of the Acquired Fund;

 

  the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to Acquired Fund’s shareholders of record determined immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date (defined below) (the “shareholders”); and

 

  the complete termination of the Acquired Fund.

 

You will not incur any sales loads or similar transaction charges as a result of a Reorganization.

 

Subject to shareholder approval, each Reorganization is expected to be effective immediately after the close of business on                     , 2005, or on a later date the Companies agree upon (the “Closing Date”). As a result of each Reorganization, each shareholder holding shares of one or more of the Acquired Funds would become a shareholder of the corresponding Acquiring Fund(s). Each such shareholder would hold, immediately after the Closing Date, Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares of the Acquiring Fund, depending on the corresponding class of shares of the Acquired Fund that shareholder owns, having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of those Acquired Fund shares as of the Closing Date.

 

In considering whether to approve a proposal relating to Reorganization Agreement, you should review the proposal for each Acquired Fund of which you were a shareholder on the Record Date. In addition, you should review the information in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus that relates to all of the proposals and the Reorganization Agreement generally.

 

Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations

 

As a condition to consummation of each Reorganization, each Company will receive an opinion from Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP to the effect that neither Fund participating therein or their shareholders will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reorganization. The holding period for, and the aggregate tax basis in, the Acquiring Fund’s shares a shareholder receives pursuant to a Reorganization will include the holding period for, and will be the same as the aggregate tax basis in, the Acquired Fund’s shares the shareholder holds immediately prior to the Reorganization (provided the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets on the Closing Date). Also, an Acquiring Fund’s holding period for, and tax basis in, each asset an Acquired Fund transfers to it will include the Acquired Fund’s holding period for, and be the same as the Acquired Fund’s tax basis in, that asset immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Companies expect that there will be no adverse tax consequences to shareholders as a result of

 

3


the Reorganizations. Please see the “Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Proposed Reorganization” section below for further information.

 

PROPOSAL 1:   APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY FUND INTO THE AXA ENTERPRISE MULTIMANAGER TECHNOLOGY FUND.

 

This Proposal 1 asks for your approval of the Reorganization of the Enterprise Technology Fund into the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund (the “AXA Technology Fund”). In considering whether you should approve this Proposal, you should note that:

 

  The investment objectives, policies and risks of the Enterprise Technology Fund and the AXA Technology Fund are substantially similar. Each Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the technology sector. Each Fund invests primarily in common stocks but also may invest in other securities, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock. Each Fund invests primarily in securities of U.S. companies, but each also may invest in foreign securities. However, the AXA Technology Fund may invest in foreign securities to a greater extent than the Enterprise Technology Fund. Each Fund may invest in companies of any size. The AXA Technology Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in a limited number of issuers, while the Enterprise Technology Fund is diversified. The Enterprise Technology Fund invests at least 25% of its total assets in internet or intranet-related companies. The AXA Technology Fund has no corresponding policy. The principal risks of investing in each Fund are equity risk, portfolio management risk, issuer-specific risk, technology sector risk, foreign securities risk, sector concentration risk and small-cap and mid-cap company risk. The AXA Technology Fund also is subject to non-diversification risk. AXA Equitable, Enterprise Capital and each Company believe, based on their review of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s and the AXA Technology Funds’ respective investment portfolios, that most of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s assets are consistent with the AXA Technology Fund’s investment objective and policies and thus can be transferred to and held by the AXA Technology Fund pursuant to the Reorganization.

 

  AXA Equitable (the Manager) serves as the investment manager for the AXA Technology Fund, while Enterprise Capital serves as the investment manager for the Enterprise Technology Fund. AXA Equitable allocates the assets of the AXA Technology Fund among three subadvisers – Firsthand Capital Management, Inc., RCM Capital Management LLC and Wellington Management Company, LLP. Fred Alger Management, Inc. is the subadviser for the Enterprise Technology Fund.

 

  The total annual expense ratio for each class of shares of the AXA Technology Fund is higher than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Technology Fund. The higher expense ratios are due primarily to the higher management and administration fees that AXA Equitable receives from the AXA Technology Fund and the higher expense caps in effect for that Fund. The AXA Technology Fund’s management fee is equal to an annual rate of 1.30% of its average daily net assets, while the Enterprise Technology Fund’s management fee is equal to an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets. The AXA Technology Fund also pays an administration fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of its average daily net assets plus $35,000 and an additional $35,000 for each portion of the Fund allocated to a separate subadviser. The Enterprise Technology Fund does not charge a separate fee for administration services but pays a fee for fund accounting services equal to an annual rate of 0.035% of its average daily net assets. In addition, AXA Equitable and Enterprise Capital have entered into Expense Limitation Agreements with their respective Funds. Under these agreements, the total annual operating expense ratios of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the AXA Technology Fund will not exceed 2.15%, 2.70%, 2.70% and 1.70%, while those of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Technology Fund will not exceed 1.90%, 2.45%, 2.45% and 1.45%, respectively.

 

AXA Equitable believes that the higher management and administration fees and the higher expense caps in effect for the AXA Technology Fund are consistent with the higher costs and greater complexity associated with managing and administering a multi-adviser fund such as the AXA Technology Fund and

 

4


are consistent with the fees charged to, and expense cap arrangements of, other multi-adviser funds with similar investment objectives and policies.

 

  It is not expected that the Acquiring Fund will revise any of its policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Acquired Fund. AXA Equitable and the subadvisers believe, based on, their review of the Acquired Fund’s investment portfolio, that most of the Acquired Fund’s holdings are consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s investment objectives & policies and thus can be transferred to and held by the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the Reorganization.

 

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

 

The Funds have substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some important differences that you should be aware of. The investment objectives and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. Each Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of its respective Company without a vote of the Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are substantially similar. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

 

    

Enterprise Technology Fund


  

AXA Technology Fund


Investment Objective

   Seeks long-term capital appreciation.    Same.

Investment Strategies

   The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in companies engaged in technology and technology-related industries. The Fund’s principal investments will be in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and other securities convertible into common stock.    Same.
     Utilizing a due diligence process covering a number of key factors, the Fund’s investment manager selects subadvisers to manage the Fund’s assets. A single subadviser currently manages the Fund’s assets. The investment manager may change the subadviser, subject to the approval of the Board.    Same, except that the Manager allocates the Fund’s assets among three subadvisers.

 

5

Comparative Fee and Expense Tables

 

The following table shows the fees and expenses of each class of shares of each Fund and the pro forma fees and expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization. Expenses for each Fund are based on the operating expenses incurred by each class of shares of the Fund for the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The pro forma expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund assume that the Reorganization had been in effect for the last fiscal year ended on that date.

1 Pursuant to separate contracts, Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable have each agreed to waive or limit their fees and to assume other expenses of their respective Funds until February 28, 2006 (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) so that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each class of shares of their respective Funds (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the amounts shown above under Net Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable each may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future under certain conditions.

 

Example of Fund Expenses

 

This example is intended to help you compare the direct and indirect costs of investing in each Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:

 

  You invest $10,000 in a fund for the time periods indicated;

 

  Your investment has a 5% return each year;

 

  The fund’s operating expenses remain the same; and

 

  The expense limitation agreement currently in effect is not renewed.

 

This example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. Similarly, the annual rate of return assumed in the example is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance. Based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Comparative Performance Information

 

The bar charts below give some indication of the risks of an investment in the Funds by showing yearly changes in each Fund’s performance and by comparing each Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance. Both the bar chart and the table below assume reinvestment of dividends and other distributions and include the effect of expense limitations that were in place during the period shown. Since AXA Equitable and Enterprise Capital each may add to, dismiss or replace the subadvisers in a Fund, the Fund’s historical performance may cover periods when portions of the Fund were advised by different subadvisers. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

 

Calendar Year Annual Total Returns (Class Y)

 

The following bar charts illustrate the annual total returns for each Fund’s Class Y shares for the calendar years shown. The inception date for the AXA Technology Fund is December 31, 2001 and for the Enterprise Technology Fund is July 1, 1999. The returns for a Fund’s Class A, B and C shares would be lower than the Class Y returns shown in the bar chart because those other classes have higher total expenses. In addition, the Class Y returns shown in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges, which would apply to Class A, B and C shares; if such sales charges were reflected, the returns shown would be lower.

Average Annual Total Returns for the period ended December 31, 2004

 

The tables below show how the average annual total returns (adjusted to reflect applicable sales charges) for each class of shares of each Fund (before and after taxes) for the periods shown compare to those of a broad-based index. The table also shows total returns that have been calculated to reflect return after taxes on distributions and return after taxes on distributions and assumed sale of Fund shares.

 

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns to an investor depend on the investor’s own tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, the after-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors

 

Risk is the chance that you will lose money on your investment or that it will not earn as much as you expect. In general, the greater the risk, the more money your investment can earn for you and the more you can lose. Like other investment companies, the value of each Fund’s shares may be affected by its investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and particular risk factors. Consequently, each Fund may be subject to different principal risks. Some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds are discussed below. However, other factors may also affect each Fund’s net asset value. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment objective(s) or that it will not lose principal value.

 

The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are substantially similar as each Fund seeks long-tern capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in the technology sector. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the Acquiring Fund will be subject to some different risks than an investment in the Acquired Fund.

General Investment Risks: Each Fund is subject to the following general investment risks:

 

Market Risk: The risk that the value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably based upon a change in a company’s financial condition as well as overall market and economic conditions.

 

Management Risk: The risk that the strategies used by a Fund’s subadviser(s) and their securities selections fail to produce the intended results.

 

Issuer-Specific Risk: The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. The fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.

 

In addition, each Fund is subject to the following risks:

 

Equity Risk: Stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline in value over short or over extended periods, regardless of the success or failure of a company’s operations.

 

Foreign Investing Risk: The value of a fund’s investment in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

Technology Sector Risk: The value of a fund’s shares is particularly vulnerable to factors affecting the technology sector, such as dependency on consumer and business acceptance as new technology evolves, large and rapid price movements resulting from competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services and short product cycles. Many technology companies are small and at an earlier stage of development and, therefore, may be subject to risks such as those arising out of limited product lines, markets and financial and managerial resources.

 

Sector Concentration Risk: Since the funds invest primarily in a particular sector, they could experience greater volatility than stock funds investing in a broader range of industries.

 

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk: Many companies in the technology sector have a relatively small market capitalization. Risk is greater for funds that invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies because the common stocks of these companies generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. In general, these risks are greater for small-capitalization companies than for mid-capitalization companies.

 

Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities may include both convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Such securities may be converted into shares of the underlying common stock at either a stated price or stated rate. Therefore, convertible securities enable you to benefit from increases in the market price of the underlying

 

12


common stock. Convertible securities provide higher yields than the underlying common stocks, but generally offer lower yields than nonconvertible securities of similar quality. The value of convertible securities fluctuates in relation to changes in interest rates and, in addition, fluctuates in relation to the underlying common stock. Subsequent to purchase by a fund, convertible securities may cease to be rated or a rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by that fund. Each subadviser will consider such event in its determination of whether a fund should continue to hold the securities.

 

The Acquiring Fund also is subject to the following risk:

 

Non-Diversification Risk: As a non-diversified mutual fund, a fund may focus its investments in the securities of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of the fund’s shares more sensitive to changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry than shares of a diversified mutual fund.

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS SUBMITTED THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT FOR APPROVAL BY THE ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY FUND’S SHAREHOLDERS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1. TO APPROVE THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE ENTERPRISE MANAGED FUND.

 

13


PROPOSAL 2:

   APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE ENTERPRISE TOTAL RETURN FUND INTO THE AXA ENTERPRISE MULTIMANAGER CORE BOND FUND.

 

This Proposal 2 requests your approval of the Reorganization of the Enterprise Total Return Fund into the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund (the “AXA Bond Fund”). In considering whether you should approve this proposal, you should note that:

 

  The investment objectives, policies and risks of the Enterprise Total Return Fund and the AXA Bond Fund are similar. The Enterprise Total Return Fund seeks total return (i.e., a combination of capital appreciation and income), while the AXA Bond Fund seeks a balance of high current income and capital appreciation, consistent with a prudent level of risk. Each Fund invests primarily in investment grade securities, but the Enterprise Total Return Fund generally invests at least 65% of its total assets in investment grade bonds, while the AXA Bond Fund is required to invest at least 80% of its net assets in such securities. Each Fund also may invest, to a lesser extent, in high yield bonds. Each Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies and U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, but the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies are limited to no more than 20% of its assets. Each Fund seeks to hedge most of its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Each Fund may purchase bonds of any maturity, but the AXA Bond Fund generally seeks to maintain an overall effective duration of an intermediate-term nature (i.e., five to seven years) and a duration comparable to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Enterprise Total Return Fund is not required to limit its duration to any particular range. The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are credit/default risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, foreign securities risk, issuer-specific risk, lower-rated securities risk, derivatives risk and portfolio management risk. The AXA Bond Fund also is subject to liquidity risk and mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, while the Enterprise Total Return Fund is subject to portfolio turnover risk. AXA Equitable, Enterprise Capital and each Company believe, based on their review of the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s and the AXA Bond Funds’ respective investment portfolios, that most of the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s assets are consistent with the AXA Bond Fund’s investment objective and policies and thus can be transferred to and held by the AXA Bond Fund pursuant to the Reorganization.

 

  AXA Equitable (the Manager) serves as the investment manager for the AXA Bond Fund, while Enterprise Capital serves as the investment manager for the Enterprise Total Return Fund. AXA Equitable allocates the assets of the AXA Bond Fund between two subadvisers – Blackrock Advisors and Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”). PIMCO also is the subadviser for the Enterprise Total Return Fund.

 

  Although the management and administration fees for the AXA Bond Fund are higher than those for the Enterprise Total Return Fund, the total annual expense ratio for each class of shares of the AXA Bond Fund is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Bond Fund primarily due to a lower Expense Limitation Agreement in effect for the AXA Bond Fund. Absent that arrangement, the total expense ratio of each class of shares of the AXA Bond Fund would be higher than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund. The management fee for the AXA Core Bond Fund is equal to a maximum annual rate of 0.70% of its average daily net assets, while the management fee for the Enterprise Total Return Fund is equal to an annual rate of 0.65% of its average daily net assets. The administration fee is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the AXA Bond Fund’s average daily net assets plus $35,000 and an additional $35,000 for each portion of the Fund allocated to a separate subadviser. The Enterprise Total Return Fund does not charge a separate administration fee but pays a fee for fund accounting services equal to an annual rate of 0.035% of its average daily net assets. Under the Expense Limitation Agreements with respect to these Funds, the total annual operating expense ratios of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the AXA Bond Fund will not exceed 1.25%, 1.80%, 1.80% and 0.80%, respectively, while those of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund will not exceed 1.35%, 1.90%, 1.90% and 0.90%, respectively.

 

 

It is not expected that the Acquiring Fund will revise any of its policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Acquired Fund. The subadviser to the Acquiring Fund has reviewed the Acquired Fund’s current portfolio and determined that the Acquired Fund’s portfolio holdings generally are

 

14


 

compatible with the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio. [However, the Acquired Fund may hold securities of companies that are not appropriate investments for the Acquiring Fund, such as convertible securities, high yield debt securities or, securities denominated in foreign currency that will total over 10% of the Acquiring Fund’s total assets, [commercial paper] nad [REITs]. If shareholders of the Acquired Fund approve the Reorganization, all these securities will be liquidated in an orderly manner in connection with the Reorganization, and the proceeds of these sales reinvested in assets that are consistent with the holdings of the Acquiring Fund or held in temporary investments until after the Reorganization is effected. As of December 31, 2004, the Acquired Fund’s investments in these securities represented approximately             % of its total portfolio. The relative portion of the Acquired Fund’s assets represented by these investments may change depending on changes in market conditions.]

 

The need for the Acquired Fund to dispose of assets in connection with the Reorganization may result in the Fund’s selling securities at a disadvantageous time, and could result in the Acquired Fund’s realizing gains (or losses) that would not otherwise have been realized. [Because the Acquired Fund [had approximately $         million in capital loss carryforwards as of                 , 2004] has significant capital loss carryforwards] to offset any realized capital gains, the liquidation of these assets is not expected to result in any significant additional distributions to the Fund’s shareholders.] It is also expected that some of the Acquired Fund’s holdings may not remain at the time of the Reorganization due to normal portfolio turnover.

 

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

 

The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some differences that you should be aware of. The investment objectives and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. Each Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of its respective Company without a vote of the Fund’s shareholders. The principal risks of investing in the Funds also are similar. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in the Funds, see “Comparison of Principal Risk Factors” below.

 

    

Enterprise Total Return Fund


  

AXA Bond Fund


Investment Objective    Seeks total return.    Seeks a balance of a high current income and capital appreciation, consistent with a prudent level of risk.
Investment Strategies    The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities. The Fund’s investments will be primarily investment grade debt securities.    Same, except that the Fund’s investments in investment grade securities must comprise at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund focuses on U.S. government and corporate debt securities and mortgage and asset-backed securities.
     Utilizing a due diligence process covering a number of key factors, the Fund’s investment manager selects subadvisers to manage the Fund’s assets. A single subadviser currently manages the Fund’s assets. The investment manager may change the subadviser, subject to the approval of the Board.    Same, except that the Manager allocates the Fund’s assets among two subadvisers.
     The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high yield securities, also known as “junk bonds.”    Same.
     The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies and without limit in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers.    The Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies and U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers.

Enterprise Total Return Fund


  

AXA Bond Fund


     The Fund will normally hedge at least 75% of its exposure to foreign currency to reduce the risk of loss due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.    The Fund will normally hedge most of its exposure to foreign currency to reduce the risk of loss due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
     The Fund may purchase bonds of any maturity, but is not required to limit its duration to any particular range.    Same, except that the Fund generally seeks to maintain an overall effective duration of an intermediate-term nature (i.e., five to seven years) and a duration comparable to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Effective duration is a measure of the expected change in value from changes in interest rates. Typically, a bond with a low (short) duration means that its value is less sensitive to interest rate changes, while bonds with a high (long) duration are more sensitive.
     For risk management purposes, the Fund may invest all of its assets in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities.    The Fund’s subadvisers may, when consistent with the fund’s investment objective, use derivative securities, including futures and options contracts, options on futures contracts, foreign currencies, securities and bond indices, structured notes, swaps (including long and short credit default swaps) and indexed securities. The Fund will typically use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or in an attempt to reduce risk to the Fund as a whole (hedge), but they may also be used to maintain liquidity, commit cash pending investment or for speculation to increase returns. The Fund may also enter into interest rate transactions as a hedging technique. In these transactions, the Fund exchanges its right to pay or receive interest with another party for their right to pay or receive interest.
     The subadviser expects a high portfolio turnover rate for the Fund.    Same.

Comparative Fee and Expense Tables

 

The following table shows the fees and expenses of each class of shares of each Fund and the pro forma fees and expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization. Expenses for each Fund are based on the operating expenses incurred by each class of shares of the Fund for the last fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. The pro forma expenses of each class of shares of the Acquiring Fund assume that the Reorganization had been in effect for the last fiscal year ended on that date.

1 Pursuant to separate contracts, Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable have each agreed to waive or limit their fees and to assume other expenses of their respective Funds until February 28, 2006 (“Expense Limitation Agreement”) so that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each class of shares of their respective Funds (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the amounts shown above under Net Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable each may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future under certain conditions.

 

Example of Fund Expenses

 

This example is intended to help you compare the direct and indirect costs of investing in each Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:

 

  You invest $10,000 in a fund for the time periods indicated;

 

  Your investment has a 5% return each year;

 

  The fund’s operating expenses remain the same; and

 

  The expense limitation agreement currently in effect is not renewed.

This example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. Similarly, the annual rate of return assumed in the example is not an estimate or guarantee of future investment performance. Based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Comparative Performance Information

 

The bar charts below give some indication of the risks of an investment in the Funds by showing yearly changes in each Fund’s performance and by comparing each Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance. Both the bar chart and the table below assume reinvestment of dividends and other distributions and include the effect of expense limitations that were in place during the period shown. Since the Manager may add to, dismiss or replace the subadvisers in a fund, the fund’s historical performance may cover periods when portions of the fund were advised by different subadvisers. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

Calendar Year Annual Total Returns (Class Y)

 

The following bar charts illustrate the annual total returns for each Fund’s Class Y shares for the calendar years shown. The inception date for the AXA Bond Fund is December 31, 2001 and for the Enterprise Total Return Fund is August 31, 2001. The returns for the Fund’s Class A, B and C shares would be lower than the Class Y returns shown in the bar chart because those other classes have higher total expenses. In addition, the Class Y returns shown in the bar chart do not reflect sales charges, which would apply to Class A, B and C shares; if such sales charges were reflected, the returns shown would be lower.

Average Annual Total Returns for the period ended December 31, 2004

 

The tables below show how the average annual total returns (adjusted to reflect applicable sales charges) for each class of shares of each Fund (before and after taxes) for the periods shown compare to those of a broad-based index. The table also shows total returns that have been calculated to reflect return after taxes on distributions and return after taxes on distributions and assumed sale of Fund shares.

 

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns to an investor depend on the investor’s own tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, the after-tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Comparison of Principal Risk Factors

 

Risk is the chance that you will lose money on your investment or that it will not earn as much as you expect. In general, the greater the risk, the more money your investment can earn for you and the more you can lose. Like other investment companies, the value of each Fund’s shares may be affected by the Fund’s investment objective(s), principal investment strategies and particular risk factors. Consequently, each Fund may be subject to different principal risks. Some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds are discussed below. However, other factors may also affect each Fund’s net asset value. There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment objective(s) or that it will not lose principal value.

 

The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are similar as each Fund invests primarily in investment grade bonds. However, because the Funds pursue their investment objectives using somewhat different investment strategies, an investment in the Acquiring Fund will be subject to different risks than an investment in the Acquired Fund.

General Investment Risks: Each Fund is subject to the following general investment risks:

 

Market Risk: The risk that the value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably based upon a change in a company’s financial condition as well as overall market and economic conditions.

 

Management Risk: The adviser for a Fund selects particular securities in seeking to achieve the Fund’s objective within its overall strategy. The securities selected for the Fund may not perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the Fund. As a result, the Fund may underperform other funds with the same objective or in the same asset class.

 

Issuer-Specific Risk: The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. The fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.

 

22


In addition, each Fund is subject to the following risks:

 

Credit/Default Risk: It is possible that the issuer of a security will not be able to make interest and principal payments when due. Lower rated bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment-grade securities. Lower rated bonds involve a greater risk of price declines than investment-grade securities due to actual or perceived changes to an issuer’s creditworthiness. In addition, issuers of lower rated bonds may be more susceptible than other issuers to economic downturns. Lower rated bonds are especially subject to the risk that the issuer may not be able to pay interest and ultimately to repay principal upon maturity. Discontinuation of these payments could substantially adversely affect the price of the bond.

 

Currency Risk: The risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.

 

Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are financial contracts whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. A fund’s investment in derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. These transactions are subject to changes in the underlying security on which such transactions are based. Even a small investment in derivative securities can have a significant impact on a fund’s exposure to stock market values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and portfolio management risk depending on the type of underlying asset, reference rate or index. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate well with the underlying asset, rate or index. These types of transactions will be used primarily as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or for hedging purposes. When a derivative security is used as a hedge against an offsetting position that a Fund also holds, any loss generated by the derivative security should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged instrument, and vice versa. To the extent that a fund uses a derivative security for purposes other than as a hedge, the fund is directly exposed to the risks of that derivative security and any loss generated by the derivative security will not be offset by a gain.

 

Foreign Investing Risk: The value of the fund’s investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

Interest Rate Risk: When interest rates decline, the value of a fund’s debt securities generally rises. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a fund’s debt securities generally declines. The magnitude of the decline will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than shorter-term debt securities.

 

Lower Rated Securities Risk: Bonds rated below investment grade are speculative in nature, involve greater risk of default by the issuing entity and may be subject to greater market fluctuations than higher rated fixed income securities.

 

The Acquiring Fund also is subject to the following risk:

 

Liquidity Risk: The risk that exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. A fund’s investment in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of a fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

 

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The risk that the principal on mortgage- or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time which will reduce the yield and market value. If interest rates fall, the rate of prepayments tends to increase as borrowers are motivated to pay off debt and refinance at new lower rates. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage-related securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, a fund that holds mortgage-related securities may exhibit additional volatility. This is known as extension risk.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROPOSALS

 

Terms of the Reorganization Agreement

 

The terms and conditions under which each Reorganization would be completed are contained in the Reorganization Agreement. The following summary of the Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement, the forms of which is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix A. The Reorganization Agreement provides, with respect to each Reorganization covered thereby, that the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of its target Acquired Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares equal in value, by class, to the outstanding Acquired Fund Shares and the Acquiring Fund’s assumption of the Acquired Fund’s stated liabilities.

 

The Reorganization Agreement further provides that, as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, each Acquired Fund will distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares it receives in the Reorganization to its Shareholders, by class. The number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares each Shareholder will receive will be equal in value, as of immediately after the close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the Closing Date, to the Acquired Fund Shares the Shareholder holds at that time. After such distribution, the Corporation will take all necessary steps under its Articles of Incorporation and Maryland and any other applicable law to effect a complete termination of each Acquired Fund.

 

The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated, and any Reorganization may be abandoned at any time prior to its consummation, before or after approval by Acquired Fund shareholders, by the Companies’ mutual agreement and under certain other circumstances. The completion of each Reorganization also is subject to various conditions, including approval of the applicable proposal by the participating Acquired Fund’s shareholders, completion of all filings with, and receipt of all necessary approvals from, the SEC, delivery of a legal opinion regarding the federal tax consequences of the Reorganization (see below) and other customary corporate and securities matters. Subject to the satisfaction of those conditions, each Reorganization will take place immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date.

 

The Corporation’s Board, including the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of either Company (the “Independent Directors”), has determined, with respect to each Acquired Fund, that the interests of its shareholders will not be diluted as a result of its Reorganization and that participation in that Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund. Similarly, the Trust Board, including the Independent Trustees, has determined, with respect to each Acquiring Fund, that the interests of its shareholders will not be diluted as a result of its Reorganization and that participation in that Reorganization is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund.

 

The expenses of the Reorganizations will be borne by the Funds, and are expected to total approximately $            .

 

Approval of the Reorganization Agreement with respect to an Acquired Fund will require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes of its shareholders entitled to be cast on the Reorganization Agreement at the Meeting. The consummation of one Reorganization is not contingent on the consummation of any other Reorganization. If the Reorganization Agreement with respect to an Acquired Fund is not approved by its shareholders or is not consummated for any other reason, the Corporation’s Board will consider other possible courses of action.

 

Description of the Securities to Be Issued

 

The shareholders of each Acquired Fund will receive Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares of the applicable Acquiring Fund in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Reorganization Agreement. Each such share will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust when issued and will have no preemptive or conversion rights.

 

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share. The Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust authorizes its Board to issue shares in different series and classes. In addition, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust authorizes that Board to create new series and to name the rights and preferences of the shareholders of each of the series. The Board does not need additional shareholder

 

25


action to divide the shares into separate series or classes or to name the shareholders’ rights and preferences. The Acquiring Funds are each separate series of the Trust.

 

The Trust currently has five classes of shares – Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P and Class Y shares. Class P shares are not involved in the Reorganizations. The Shareholders will receive Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of the Acquiring Funds in connection with the Reorganizations. The Trust has adopted in the manner prescribed under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act separate plans of distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Trust (the “Distribution Plans”). Those shares each pay an annual service fee of 0.25% of their average daily net assets. In addition to this service fee, the Trust’s Class A, Class B and Class C shares pay an annual distribution fee of 0.20%, 0.75% and 0.75%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. There is no distribution plan with respect to Class Y shares, and the Acquiring Funds pay no distribution fees with respect to those shares.

 

Reasons for the Reorganizations

 

On July 8, 2004, AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”) acquired The MONY Group, Inc. (the “MONY Merger”), the parent company of Enterprise Capital. Following the MONY Merger, management of the newly combined company undertook an extensive review of each Company’s mutual fund offerings with the primary objective of consolidating the funds into one family of funds that offers a streamlined, more complete and competitive set of mutual funds, while serving the interests of shareholders.

 

At a meeting of the Board held on December 15, 2004, management met with the Board and explained that, based on its review, it had determined that it would be in the best interests of each Company’s shareholders to combine similar funds. In this connection, management recommended that the Board approve the Reorganizations. Management noted its belief that these actions would strengthen the Companies’ offerings in various asset categories and facilitate the marketing and sale of shares of their funds, which potentially could lead to increased cash flows and growth in assets and the resulting benefits to shareholders.

 

In determining whether to approve the Reorganization Agreement with respect to each Acquired Fund and recommend its approval to shareholders, the Board, including the Independent Directors, with the advice and assistance of independent legal counsel, inquired into a number of matters and considered the following factors, among others: (1) comparisons of the investment objectives, policies and strategies of each Fund; (2) the effect of the Reorganizations on each Acquired Fund’s annual operating expenses and shareholder costs; (3) the relative historical performance records of each Acquired Fund; (4) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations to shareholders; (5) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreements and whether the Reorganizations would result in dilution of shareholder interests; (6) the potential benefits of the Reorganizations to other persons, including Enterprise Capital, AXA Equitable and their affiliates; (7) the potential benefits of the proposed Reorganizations to shareholders; and (8) possible alternatives to the Reorganizations.

 

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the proposed Reorganizations, management provided the Board, and the Board considered, information regarding the factors set forth above. Management noted that each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have similar investment objectives, strategies and risks, except for the specific differences noted above in the proposals for the Reorganizations, and thus are likely to appeal to the same investors.

 

With respect to the Reorganizations, management noted that the investment objectives, policies and risks of each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are substantially similar in that the AXA Technology Fund and Enterprise Technology Fund each seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the technology sector, and the AXA Bond Fund and Enterprise Total Return Fund each seeks a combination of capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in investment grade securities.

 

Management noted that Enterprise Capital serves as the investment manager to each Acquired Fund and that AXA Equitable serves as the investment manager to each Acquiring Fund. Management also noted that the subadvisers to each Fund, where applicable, are different, except that PIMCO serves as a subadviser for both the Enterprise Total Return Fund and the AXA Bond Fund. Management noted that AXA Equitable and, where applicable, each

 

26


Acquiring Fund’s subadviser(s) have substantial experience in managing investment vehicles that meet the respective investment criteria and that in some cases the Acquiring Funds outperformed the Acquired Funds, although there is no guarantee or assurance as to the future performance of the Acquiring Funds.

 

Management then informed the Board that the total annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the AXA Technology Fund, before and after reflecting the Expense Limitation Agreement in effect for the Fund, is higher than that of the corresponding class of the Enterprise Technology Fund, as are the pro forma expense ratios of the combined Fund, and discussed the reasons for the higher expense ratios. Management also informed the Board that the total annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the AXA Bond Fund, before reflecting the Expense Limitation Agreement in effect for that Fund, is higher than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund and discussed the reasons for the higher expense ratios. Management noted, however, that the net annual operating expense ratio of each class of shares of the AXA Bond Fund, after reflecting the Expense Limitation Agreement in effect for that Fund, is lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund. Management explained its belief that the higher management and administration fees of the Acquiring Funds are appropriate given the higher costs and greater complexity associated with the management and administrative functions for a multi-adviser fund and are consistent with the fees charged to other multi-adviser funds with similar investment objectives and policies. Management then described the services provided under its management and administration agreements with respect to the AXA Technology Fund and the AXA Bond Fund.

 

Management then reviewed with the Board the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, noting that each Reorganization would be tax-free to each Fund and its shareholders. Management also noted that the interests of the shareholders would not be diluted by the Reorganizations because each Reorganization would be effected on the basis of each participating Fund’s net asset value. Management further noted that the Funds would bear the costs of the Reorganizations. Management then recommended that the Board approve the Reorganizations.

 

In reaching the decision to recommend approval of the Reorganizations, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the participation of each Acquired Fund in the Reorganizations is in the best interests of such Fund, and that the interests of shareholders of each Acquired Fund will not be diluted as a result of the transaction. The Board’s conclusion was based on a number of factors, including the following:

 

  Each Reorganization will permit shareholders of an Acquired Fund to continue to invest in a fund that pursues a similar or substantially similar investment objective. With respect to the Reorganizations involving the Enterprise Technology Fund and the Enterprise Total Return Fund, each Reorganization also will permit shareholders to continue to invest in a fund that uses similar or substantially similar investment policies and strategies;

 

  Each Reorganization will facilitate the marketing and sale of shares of each Acquiring or “Combined” Fund, which potentially could result in better cash flow into the combined Funds and lower expenses through economies of scale, and also will provide greater opportunities for the combined Funds to diversify their investments and make their operations more efficient;

 

  As a result of the Reorganizations, each shareholder of an Acquired Fund would hold, immediately after the Closing Date, Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares, as appropriate, of the corresponding Acquiring Fund having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the shares of the Acquired Fund that shareholder holds as of the Closing Date;

 

  The higher effective net expense ratios of the AXA Technology Fund are reasonable in view of the services provided, the expenses incurred by AXA Equitable in providing those services and the anticipated benefits of those services to shareholders of the Funds;

 

  AXA Equitable’s and, where applicable, each Acquiring Fund’s subadviser’s substantial experience in managing investment vehicles similar to the Acquired Funds; and

 

  The Reorganizations will not have adverse tax results to shareholders.

 

27


On the basis of the information provided to it and its evaluation of that information, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, voted unanimously to approve each Reorganization Agreement and to recommend that the shareholders of the Acquired Funds also approve the Reorganization Agreements.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations

 

Each Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

As a condition to consummation of each Reorganization, each Company will receive an opinion from Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein as well as certain representations of each Company and conditioned on each Reorganization’s being completed in accordance with the applicable Reorganization Agreement, for federal income tax purposes, with respect to each Reorganization and the Funds participating therein: (1) the Reorganization will qualify as a “reorganization” (as defined in section 368(a)(1) of the Code), and each Fund will be a “party to a reorganization” (within the meaning of section 368(b) of the Code); (2) neither Fund will recognize gain or loss on the Reorganization; (3) the Shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Acquired Fund Shares for Acquiring Fund Shares; (4) the holding period for and tax basis in the Acquiring Fund Shares a Shareholder receives pursuant to the Reorganization will include the holding period for, and will be the same as the aggregate tax basis in, the Acquired Fund Shares the shareholder holds immediately prior to the Reorganization (provided the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets on the Closing Date); and (5) the Acquiring Fund’s holding period for, and tax basis in, each asset the Acquired Fund transfers to it will include the Acquired Fund’s holding period for, and will be the same as the Acquiring Fund’s tax basis in, that asset immediately prior to the Reorganization. Notwithstanding clauses (2) and (5), such opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of a Reorganization on the Funds or the Shareholders with respect to any transferred asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting. An Acquiring Fund’s utilization after a Reorganization of any pre-Reorganization capital losses the corresponding Acquired Fund realized to offset gains the Acquiring Fund realizes could be subject to limitation in future years.

 

On or before the Closing Date, each Acquired Fund will distribute substantially all of its undistributed net investment income, net capital gain, net short-term capital gain and net gains from foreign currency transactions, if any, in order to continue to maintain its tax status as a regulated investment company.

 

The foregoing description of the federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization does not take into account the particular circumstances of any shareholder. If a Reorganization fails to meet the requirements of section 368(a)(1), a shareholder could realize a gain or loss on the transaction. Shareholders are therefore urged to consult their tax advisers as to the specific consequences to them of the Reorganizations, including the applicability and effect of state, local, foreign and other taxes.

 

Rights of Shareholders of the Funds

 

Each Acquired Fund is a separate series of the Corporation, which is a Maryland corporation registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. Each Acquiring Fund is a separate series of the Trust, which is a Delaware statutory trust registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. Accordingly, there are minor differences between the rights of a shareholder of the Acquired Funds and the rights of a shareholder of the Acquiring Funds. The table below summarizes certain differences between the rights of a shareholder of a Maryland corporation and a shareholder of a Delaware statutory trust.

 

    

Maryland Corporation


  

Delaware Statutory Trust


Shareholder Liability

   Shareholders generally have no personal liability for the corporation’s obligations, except that a shareholder may be liable to the extent that he or she receives any distribution that exceeds the amount he or she could properly receive under Maryland law or where such liability is necessary to prevent fraud.    Shareholders are entitled to the same limitations on liability extended to shareholders of corporations, however, shareholders might be held personally liable for a trust’s obligations to the extent the courts of another state that does not recognize such limited liability were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations.

 

28


    

Maryland Corporation


  

Delaware Statutory Trust


Liability of

Directors/Trustees and Indemnification

   Under Maryland law, a corporation is permitted to eliminate liability of its directors and officers to the corporation or its stockholders, except for liability arising from receipt of an improper benefit or profit and from active and deliberate dishonesty. Indemnification of a corporation’s directors and officers is mandatory if a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of certain proceedings. Indemnification of a corporation’s directors and officers for other matters is permitted unless it is established that the act or omission giving rise to the proceeding was committed in bad faith, a result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or one in which a director or officer actually received an improper benefit.    Under Delaware law, trustees of a statutory trust are not liable to the trust or its shareholders for acting in good faith reliance on the provisions of its governing instrument and the trustee’s liabilities may be expanded or restricted by such instrument. A statutory trust is permitted to indemnify and hold harmless any trustee or other person against any and all claims and demands.
Annual Shareholder Meetings    There is no statutory requirement that a corporation hold annual shareholder meetings, but its articles of incorporation may require annual shareholder meetings.    There is no statutory requirement that a corporation hold annual shareholder meetings, but its declaration of trust may require annual shareholder meetings.
Shareholder Approval of Certain Actions    Shareholder approval is required for certain actions, including the following: changing the name or domicile of the corporation; amending the articles of incorporation; merging, consolidating or selling substantially all of the corporation’s assets; or dissolving the corporation.    There is no statutory requirement for shareholder approval of certain actions; such approval is necessary only if required by the declaration of trust.
Dissenters’ Rights    Maryland law confers upon shareholders limited rights of appraisal.    Delaware law does not confer upon shareholders rights of appraisal.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIRING FUNDS

 

Management of the Trust

 

This section gives you information on the Trust, the Manager and the subadvisers for the Acquiring Funds.

 

The Trust

 

The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company. The Trust’s Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall management of the Trust and each of its series (“funds”), including the Acquiring Funds. The Trust issues shares of beneficial interest that are currently divided among [ten] series, each of which has authorized Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P and Class Y

 

29


shares. This Proxy Statement/Prospectus describes each class of shares of the Acquiring Funds (other than the Class P shares).

 

The Manager

 

AXA Equitable, through its AXA Funds Management Group unit, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104, currently serves as the Manager of the Trust. AXA Equitable is a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc., a subsidiary of AXA, a French insurance holding company. The Manager has responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust and the funds.

 

The Manager plays an active role in monitoring each multi-adviser fund and its subadvisers, and uses systems to strengthen its evaluation of performance, style, risk levels, diversification and other criteria. The Manager also monitors each subadviser’s portfolio management team to determine whether its investment activities remain consistent with the funds’ investment style and objectives.

 

Beyond performance analysis, the Manager monitors significant changes that may impact the subadviser’s overall business. The Manager monitors continuity in the subadviser’s operations and changes in investment personnel and senior management. The Manager performs annual due diligence reviews with respect to each subadviser.

 

The Manager obtains detailed information concerning fund and subadviser performance and fund operations that is used to supervise and monitor the subadvisers and fund operations. A team is responsible for conducting ongoing investment reviews with each subadviser and for developing the criteria by which fund performance is measured.

 

The Manager selects subadvisers from a pool of candidates, including its affiliates, to manage the funds. The Manager may add to, dismiss or substitute for the subadvisers responsible for managing a fund’s assets subject to the approval of the Board. The Manager also has discretion to allocate each fund’s assets among the fund’s subadvisers. The Manager recommends subadvisers for each fund to the Trust’s Board based upon its continuing quantitative and qualitative evaluation of each subadviser’s skills in managing assets pursuant to specific investment styles and strategies. Short-term investment performance, by itself, is not a significant factor in selecting or terminating a subadviser, and the Manager does not expect to recommend frequent changes of subadvisers. The Manager has received an order from the SEC to permit it and the Board to select and replace subadvisers and to amend the advisory agreements between the Manager and the subadvisers without obtaining shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Manager is able, subject to the approval of the Trust’s Board, to appoint and replace subadvisers and to amend advisory agreements without obtaining shareholder approval. In such circumstances, shareholders would receive notice of such action. However, the Manager may not enter into an advisory agreement with an “affiliated person” of AXA Equitable (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) (“Affiliated Subadviser”), such as Alliance Capital Management L.P., Boston Advisors, Inc. or MONY Capital Management, Inc., unless the advisory agreement with the Affiliated Subadviser, including compensation, is also approved by the affected fund’s shareholders.

 

A discussion regarding the basis for the decision by the Board to approve the investment management agreement with AXA Equitable and the investment advisory agreements with the sub-advisers is available in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information. In addition, a description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available (i) in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information; and (ii) on the Trust’s website.

 

Management Fees

 

Each fund pays a fee to AXA Equitable for management services. The AXA Technology Fund pays a management fee at an annual rate of 1.30% of the average daily net assets of the fund. The AXA Bond Fund pays a management fee at an annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the fund. The subadvisers are paid by AXA Equitable. Changes to the subadvisory fees may be negotiated, which could result in an increase or decrease in the amount of the management fee retained by AXA Equitable, without shareholder approval.

 

30


Each fund also pays a fee to AXA Equitable for administrative services. These services include, among others, coordination of the Trust’s audit, financial statements and tax returns; expense management and budgeting; legal administrative services and compliance monitoring; fund accounting services, including daily net asset value accounting; operational risk management; and oversight of the Trust’s proxy voting policies and procedures and anti-money laundering program. For these services, in addition to the management fee, each fund pays an administrative fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the fund plus $35,000 per fund and, for funds with more than one subadviser, an additional $35,000 for each portion of the fund for which separate administrative services are provided (e.g., portions of a fund allocated to separate subadvisers and/or managed in a discrete style).

 

As noted in the prospectus for each Underlying Fund, AXA Equitable and, in certain cases, its affiliates serve as investment manager, investment adviser and/or administrator for the Underlying Funds and earn fees for providing services in these capacities, which are in addition to the fees directly associated with a fund.

 

Expense Limitation Agreement

 

In the interest of limiting until February 28, 2006 the expenses of each of the Acquiring Funds, the Manager has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Trust with respect to the Acquiring Funds (“Expense Limitation Agreement”). Pursuant to that Expense Limitation Agreement, the Manager has agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses so that the total annual operating expenses of each Acquiring Fund (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Acquiring Fund’s business), are limited to the expense ratios shown under the heading “Net Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” in the tables in the section of each proposal entitled “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables.”

 

The Manager may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments in the future provided that the payments are reimbursed within three years of the payment being made and the combination of the Acquiring Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Acquiring Fund’s expense cap. If the actual expense ratio is less than the expense cap and the Manager has recouped any eligible previous payments made, the Acquiring Fund will be charged such lower expenses.

 

The Subadvisers

 

Information regarding the subdvisers to each of the Acquiring Funds is located in the section of each proposal entitled “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies.”

Choosing a Share

 

Each Acquiring Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to the public. The Acquiring Funds are not designed for market-timers (see the section entitled “Purchase and Redemption Restrictions on Market-Timers and Active Traders”).

How Sales Charges are Calculated

 

Class A Shares

 

The price that you pay when you buy Class A shares (the “offering price”) is their net asset value plus a sales charge (sometimes called a “front-end sales charge”), which varies depending upon the size of your purchase and the Acquiring Fund you buy shares of. No initial sales charge applies to Class A shares you receive through reinvestment of dividends or distributions.

* In determining the amount of your investment and the applicable sales charge, we will include all shares you are currently purchasing in all of the funds.

 

** From time to time, the Distributor may hold special promotions for specified periods during which the Distributor may reallow dealers up to the full sales charges shown above. In addition, the Distributor may sponsor sales contests and provide to all qualifying dealers, from its own profits and resources, additional compensation, as described below in the section entitled “Compensation to Securities Dealers.”

*** If certain employee benefit plans qualified under Sections 401, 403 and 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, or participants of such plans, invest $500,000 or more or if you invest $1,000,000 or more in Class A shares, no initial sales charge applies to those shares. However, if the entire plan or you redeem the shares within 24 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, the plans or you will be charged a CDSC of 1%. The Distributor will compensate dealers in connection with purchases of Class A shares.

 

Class B Shares

 

Class B shares are sold at net asset value, without any sales charges at the time of purchase. However, there is a CDSC on shares that is payable upon redemption. The holding period for purposes of timing the conversion to Class A shares and determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class B shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The Acquiring Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class B shares over $100,000. The amount of the CDSC declines as you hold your shares over time, according to the following schedule.

Your Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares of the same fund eight years after the end of the calendar month in which your purchase order for Class B shares was accepted. A pro rata portion of any Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions will convert along with Class B shares that were purchased. Class A shares are subject to lower expenses than Class B shares. The conversion of Class B to Class A is not a taxable event for federal income tax purposes.

 

How the CDSC is Applied to Your Shares

 

The CDSC is a sales charge you pay when you redeem certain Acquiring Fund shares. The CDSC:

 

  is calculated based on the number of shares you are selling;*

 

  is based on either your original purchase price or the then-current net asst value of the shares being sold, whichever is lower;

 

  is deducted from the proceeds of the redemption, not from the amount remaining in your account;

 

  for year one applies to redemptions through the day one year after the date on which your purchase was accepted, and so on for subsequent years; and

 

  applied to your shares at the time of sale is based on the schedule applicable to those shares when you bought them.

 

* A “sale” includes when an account is closed because its balance falls below $500. (For more information, see “It’s Easy to Open an Account.”)

 

A CDSC Will Not be Charged On

 

  increases in net asset value above the purchase price;

 

  shares you acquired by reinvesting your dividends or capital gains distributions; or

 

33


  exchanges of shares of one Acquiring Fund for shares of the same class of another AXA Enterprise Fund.

 

To keep your CDSC as low as possible, each time you request to sell shares we will first sell any shares in your account that carry no CDSC. If there are not enough of these shares available to meet your request, we will sell the shares with the lowest CDSC.

 

Class C Shares

 

Class C shares are sold at net asset value. However, there is a CDSC on shares that is payable on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase. The holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run after an exchange to Class C shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund. The Acquiring Funds will not accept single purchase orders for Class C shares over $1,000,000.

Class Y Shares

 

Investors who purchase Class Y shares do not pay sales charges. The ongoing expenses for Class Y shares are the lowest of all the classes because there are no ongoing 12b-1 distribution or service fees.

 

Class Y shares are sold at net asset value and have no sales charge. Only specific types of investors can purchase Class Y shares. You may be eligible to purchase Class Y shares if you:

 

  Are a corporation, bank, savings institution, trust company, insurance company, pension fund, employee benefit plan, professional firm, trust, estate or educational, religious or charitable organization;

 

  Are an investment company registered under the 1940 Act;

Compensation to Securities Dealers

 

The Acquiring Funds are distributed by Enterprise Fund Distributors, Inc. As noted above, for distribution and shareholder services, investors pay sales charges (front-end or deferred) and the Acquiring Funds on behalf of Class A, B and C shares pay ongoing 12b-1 fees (consisting of the annual service and/or distribution fees of a plan adopted by an Acquiring Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act). The sales charges are detailed in the section entitled “How Sales Charges are Calculated.” The Distributor pays a portion of or the entire sales charge paid on the purchase of Class A shares to the selling dealers. The Distributor may also pay sales commissions to selling dealers when they sell Class B and Class C shares. The Distributor may also pay selling dealers on an ongoing basis for services and distribution. Class A, Class B and Class C shares each pay an annual service fee of 0.25% of their average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for providing services to shareholders of those classes and/or

 

34


maintaining shareholder accounts for those classes. In addition to this service fee, Class A shares pay an annual distribution fee of 0.20% of their average daily net assets, and Class B and Class C shares pay an annual distribution fee of 0.75% of their average daily net assets. Because these distribution fees are paid out of the Acquiring Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees for Class B and Class C shares will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying the front-end sales charge on Class A shares.

 

In addition to the distribution and service fees paid by the Acquiring Funds under the Class A, Class B, and Class C distribution and service plans, the Distributor (or one of its affiliates) may make payments out of its own resources to provide additional compensation to selling dealers and other persons, including affiliates such as MONY Securities Corporation and The Advest Group Inc., who sell shares of the Acquiring Funds and other mutual funds distributed by the Distributor. Such payments, which are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing,” may be calculated by reference to the gross sales price of shares sold by such persons, the net asset value of shares held by the customers of such persons, or otherwise. The additional payments to such selling dealers are negotiated based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, reputation in the industry, ability to attract and retain assets, target markets, customer relationships and quality of service. No one factor is determinative of the type or amount of additional compensation to be provided. Additional payments to these selling dealers, may, but are not normally expected to, exceed in the aggregate 0.5% of the average net assets of the funds attributable to a particular intermediary.

 

Additional compensation also may include promotional gifts (which may include gift certificates, dinners and other items), financial assistance to selling dealers in connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their employees, seminars for the public and advertising campaigns, technical and systems support, attendance at sales meetings and reimbursement of ticket charges. In some instances, these incentives may be made available only to selling dealers whose representatives have sold or are expected to sell a significant number of shares.

 

If you hold shares through a brokerage account, your broker or dealer may charge you a processing or service fee in connection with the purchase or redemption of Acquiring Fund shares. The amount and applicability of such a fee is determined and disclosed to customers by the individual broker or dealer. These processing and service fees are in addition to the sales and other charges and are typically fixed, nominal dollar amounts. Your broker or dealer will provide you with specific information about any processing or servicing fees you will be charged.

 

Ways to Reduce or Eliminate Sales Charges

 

You may qualify for a reduction or waiver of the sales charge. If you think you qualify for any of the sales charge waivers described below, you or your financial advisor may need to notify and/or provide certain documentation to us. You or your financial advisor also will need to notify us of the existence of other accounts in which there are holdings eligible to be aggregated to meet certain sales load breakpoints. Information you may need to provide to us includes:

 

  Information or records regarding shares of the Acquiring Funds or other AXA Enterprise Funds held in all accounts at any financial intermediary;

 

  Information or records regarding shares of the Acquiring Funds or other AXA Enterprise Funds held in any account at any financial intermediary by related parties of the shareholder, such as members of the same family; and/or

 

  Any other information that may be necessary for us to determine your eligibility for a reduction or waiver of a sales charge.

 

Reducing Sales Charges – Class A Shares Only

 

There are a number of ways you can lower your sales charges on Class A shares, including:

 

 

Letter of Intent – You are entitled to a reduced sales charge if you execute a Letter of Intent to purchase $100,000 or more of Class A shares at the public offering price within a period of 13 months. Your

 

35


 

discount will be determined based on the schedule in the table that appears above in the section entitled “How Sales Charges are Calculated – Class A Shares.” The minimum initial investment under a Letter of Intent is 5% of the amount stated in the Letter of Intent. Class A shares purchased with the first 5% of such amount will be held in escrow (while remaining registered in your name) to secure payment of the higher sales charge that would apply to the shares actually purchased if the full amount stated is not purchased, and such escrowed shares will be involuntarily redeemed to pay the additional sales charge, if necessary. When the full amount has been purchased, the escrow will be released. If you wish to enter into a Letter of Intent, you should complete the appropriate portion of the new account application.

 

  Rights of Accumulation – You are entitled to a reduced sales charge on additional purchases of a class of shares of an Acquiring Fund if the value of your existing aggregate holdings at the time of the additional purchase plus the amount of the additional purchase equals $100,000 or more. Your discount will be determined based on the schedule in the table above. For purposes of determining the discount, we will aggregate holdings of Acquiring Fund shares of your spouse, immediate family or accounts you control, whether as a single investor or trustee or, pooled and similar accounts, provided that you notify us of the applicable accounts at the time of your additional investment by providing us with appropriate documentation, including the account numbers for all accounts that you are seeking to aggregate.

 

  Purchases by Members of Certain Organizations. You may be entitled to a reduced sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of an Acquiring Fund if you are a member of an association, fraternal group, franchise organization or union that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor allowing members of such organizations to purchase Class A shares at a sales load equal to 75% of the applicable sales charge. Organizations participating in this program must meet certain minimum requirements established by the Distributor, including minimum numbers of participants or assets. To receive this discount, you or your financial advisor must notify us at the time of your additional investment of your membership in the relevant organization and provide us with appropriate documentation.

 

Eliminating Sales Charges and the CDSC – Class A Shares Only

 

Class A shares may be offered without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC to the following individuals and institutions:

 

  Any government entity that is prohibited from paying a sales charge or commission to purchase mutual fund shares;

 

  Representatives and employees, or their immediate family members of brokers and other intermediaries that have entered into dealer or other selling arrangements with the Distributor;

 

  Financial institutions and other financial institutions’ trust departments for funds over which they exercise exclusive discretionary investment authority and which are held in fiduciary, agency, advisory, custodial or similar capacity; and

 

  Clients of fee-based/fee-only financial advisors.

 

The CDSC will not apply to Class A shares for which the selling dealer is not permitted to receive a sales load or redemption fee imposed on a shareholder with whom such dealer has a fiduciary relationship in accordance with provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and regulations thereunder, provided that the dealer agrees to certain reimbursement arrangements with the Distributor that are described in the Statement of Additional Information. If the dealer agrees to these reimbursement arrangements, no CDSC will be imposed with respect to Class A shares purchased for $1,000,000 or more.

 

36


Eliminating the CDSC

 

As long as we are notified at the time you sell, the CDSC for any shares may generally be eliminated in the following cases:

 

  Distributions to participants or beneficiaries of and redemptions (other than redemption of the entire plan account) by plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 401(a) or from custodial accounts under IRC Section 403(b)(7), IRAs under IRC Section 408(a), participant-directed non-qualified deferred compensation plans under the IRC Section 457 and other employee benefit plans (“plans”), and returns of excess contributions made to these plans;

 

  The liquidation of a shareholder’s account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum;

 

  Redemptions through a systematic withdrawal plan (however, the amount or percentage you specify in the plan may not exceed, on an annualized basis, 10% of the value of your fund account based upon the value of your fund account on the day you establish your plan) (only for Class B shares);

 

  Redemptions of shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint owner) who has died or has become totally disabled (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security Administration);

 

  Redemptions made pursuant to any IRA systematic withdrawal based on the shareholder’s life expectancy in accordance with the requirements of the IRC, including substantially equal periodic payments described in IRC Section 72 prior to age 59½ and required minimum distributions after age 70½; or

 

  Required minimum distributions from an IRA.

 

Repurchasing Fund Shares

 

If you redeem shares of an Acquiring Fund on which you paid an initial sales charge or are charged a CDSC upon redemption, you will be eligible for a reinstatement privilege if you reinvest the proceeds in shares of the same class of the same Acquiring Fund within 180 days of redemption. Specifically, when you reinvest, the Acquiring Fund will waive any initial sales charge or credit your account with the amount of the CDSC that you previously paid. The reinvested shares will keep their original cost and purchase date for purposes of calculating any future CDSCs. Please note: For federal income tax purposes, a redemption is treated as a sale that involves tax consequences, even if the proceeds are later reinvested. Please consult your tax advisor to determine how a redemption would affect you. The Acquiring Fund may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.

 

If you think you may be eligible for a sales charge elimination or reduction, contact your financial professional or AXA Enterprise Funds Trust. Check the Statement of Additional Information for details.

4. Use the following sections as your guide for purchasing shares.

 

To conform to new regulations of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, the Acquiring Funds are required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. A new account application includes your name, street address, date of birth and other identification information. The regulations require completion of this information before an account is opened, and you may also be requested to provide other identification documents. In addition, the Acquiring Funds may confirm your identity through the use of identity verification reports provided by consumer reporting agencies. Your personal information will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. If you fail to provide the required information or provide inaccurate information, this may lead to a delay in the processing of your account application and investment. If the Acquiring Funds cannot complete the identification process, your investment and the application may be returned.

 

An Acquiring Fund will deduct a $35 annual fee from accounts with a balance of less than $1500. This does not apply to Automatic Bank Draft Plan Accounts, Automatic Investment Plan Accounts, Retirement Accounts or Savings Plan Accounts.

 

Each Acquiring Fund reserves the right to close any fund account whose balance drops to $500 or less. If an account is closed, its shares will be sold at the NAV, minus any applicable CDSC, on the day the account is closed. A shareholder will be given at least 45 days’ notice before an Acquiring Fund closes an account with a balance of $500 or less so that the shareholder has an opportunity to increase the account balance.

Exchanging Shares

 

How to Exchange Fund Shares

 

Shares of each Acquiring Fund generally may be exchanged for shares of the same class of any other AXA Enterprise Fund without paying a sales charge or a CDSC. If an exchange results in opening a new account, you are subject to the applicable minimum investment requirement. All exchanges also are subject to the eligibility requirements of the AXA Enterprise Fund into which you are exchanging. The exchange privilege may be exercised only in those states where shares of the Acquiring Fund may be legally sold. The Acquiring Funds may also discontinue or modify the exchange privilege on a prospective basis at any time upon notice to shareholders in accordance with applicable law. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange of fund shares for shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund is treated as a sale on which gain or loss may be recognized.

Restrictions on Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares

 

Purchase and Exchange Restrictions

 

The Acquiring Funds reserve the right to suspend or change the terms of purchasing, selling or exchanging shares.

 

Purchase and Redemption Restrictions on Market-Timers and Active Traders

 

If an Acquiring Fund determines that an investor is using market timing strategies or making excessive exchanges or redemptions, the Acquiring Fund reserves the right to refuse any exchange or purchase order that could involve actual or potential harm. Excessive purchases and redemptions of shares of the Acquiring Fund s may adversely affect Fund performance and the interests of long-term investors. When market timing occurs, an Acquiring Fund may have to sell portfolio securities to have the cash necessary to redeem the market timer’s shares. This can happen when it is not advantageous to sell any securities, so the Acquiring Fund’s performance may be hurt. When large dollar amounts are involved, market timing can also make it difficult to use long-term investment strategies because a Fund cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. In addition, if an Acquiring Fund is forced to liquidate investments due to short-term trading activity, it may incur increased brokerage and tax costs. Similarly, an Acquiring Fund may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of short-term trading. An Acquiring Fund that invests in foreign securities may be particularly susceptible to market timing strategies because time zone differences among international stock markets may allow a shareholder engaging in a market timing strategy to exploit Fund share prices that may be based on closing prices of foreign securities established some time before the Acquiring Fund calculates its own share price.

 

If you redeem or exchange shares of an Acquiring Fund (excluding redemptions made through a systematic withdrawal plan) after holding them one month or less (other than shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or other distributions), a short-term trading fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged will be assessed and retained by the Acquiring Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders to mitigate the costs caused to the Acquiring Funds by early redemptions that may disrupt effective management of the Acquiring Funds. If the short-term trading fee is $50 or less, it will not be assessed on a redemption or exchange. However, during the 30-day period following a purchase or exchange, the Acquiring Fund reserves the right to collect short-term trading fees relating to a series of transactions by a shareholder if, in the aggregate, the fees total more than $50. The short-term trading fee will not be assessed on redemptions or exchanges from an account that participates in an approved fee-based program caused by automatic rebalancing within the program, systematic withdrawals from the program or redemptions by the sponsor to cover the payment of advisory or service fees. The short-term trading fee may be modified or discontinued at any time or from time to time. The Acquiring Funds will use the “first in, first out” method to determine your holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in your account.

 

While the Acquiring Funds will try to prevent market timing by taking the steps described above, they may not be successful in identifying or preventing excessive short-term trading in all circumstances. Shareholders seeking to engage in excessive or short-term trading activities (commonly referred to as “market timing”) may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the efforts of the Acquiring Funds to prevent excessive or short-term trading, there is no guarantee that the Acquiring Funds or their intermediaries will be able to identify these shareholders or curtail their trading practices. The Acquiring Funds receive purchase and redemption orders through financial intermediaries and cannot always know or reasonably detect excessive or short-term trading which may be facilitated by these intermediaries or by the use of omnibus account arrangements offered by these intermediaries to investors. Entities utilizing such omnibus arrangements may not identify customers’ trading activity in shares of the Acquiring Funds on an individual basis. Consequently, the Acquiring Funds may not be able to detect excessive or

 

43


short-term trading in Acquiring Fund shares attributable to a particular investor who effects purchase orders in Fund shares through a financial intermediary or agent acting in an omnibus capacity. The Acquiring Funds currently have systems in place that are intended to monitor market timing activity in omnibus accounts. For example, if aggregate fund flows of an omnibus account are suspected to contain market timing activity, the Acquiring Fund will contact the intermediary to review the account and may, in its discretion, request the intermediary to impose a short-term trading fee on such investor. In addition, the Acquiring Fund reserves the right to terminate any arrangement with an intermediary where such abuses are detected.

 

The Acquiring Fund’s short-term trading fee will NOT be charged on the following redemption transactions:

 

  1. redemptions effectuated pursuant to an automatic allocation and rebalancing program held in a wrap program with which the Acquiring Fund, its Manager or Distributor, have an agreement;

 

  2. redemptions requested within the short-term trading fee period following the death or disability occurring after purchase of any registered shareholder, beneficial owner or grantor of a living trust;

 

  3. redemptions representing shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions;

 

  4. redemptions representing shares re-registration of an account converted from another share class of the same fund (in which case the short-term trading fee period will carry over to the acquired shares);

 

  5. redemptions representing loans and qualified hardship distributions from shares held through retirement plans for which the Manager or one of its affiliates or intermediaries is responsible for providing participant recordkeeping services;

 

  6. redemptions in cases where there are legal or contractual limitations or restrictions on the imposition of the short-term trading fee (as determined by the funds or their agents in their sole discretion);

 

  7. redemptions initiated by a fund (e.g., for failure to meet account minimums, to pay account fees funded by the share redemptions, in the event of the liquidation of a fund).

 

In addition, the Acquiring Funds reserve the right to waive or impose the short-term trading fee or withdraw waivers in their discretion and without giving advance notice to shareholders (provided that the short-term trading fee is imposed prospectively only after notice is provided).

 

These short-term trading fee exclusions are subject to any administrative policies and procedures developed by the Acquiring Funds and their agents from time to time (which may address such topics as the documentation necessary for the funds to recognize a disability or qualified hardship, among others).

 

Systems limitations inhibit this goal from being immediately realized. The Acquiring Funds and their agents will encourage financial advisers that maintain omnibus accounts (including retirement plan administrators) for accounts that are exempt from the short-term trading fee pursuant to the terms above to modify their systems to facilitate the imposition of the short-term trading fee at the participant or individual account level. Until such time as financial adviser systems are modified, a significant percentage of an Acquiring Fund’s shareholders may not be subject to the short-term trading fee.

An Acquiring Fund may pay the redemption price in whole or part by a distribution in kind of readily marketable securities in lieu of cash or [may take up to 7 days to pay a redemption request in order to raise capital]:  

•        When it is detrimental for a fund to make cash payments as determined in the sole discretion of AXA Equitable.

An Acquiring Fund may withhold redemption proceeds until the check or funds have cleared:  

•        When redemptions are made within 10 calendar days of purchase by check of the shares being redeemed.

 

If you hold certificates representing your shares, they must be sent with your request for it to be honored. The Distributor recommends that certificates be sent by registered mail.

 

How Fund Shares Are Priced

 

“Net asset value” is the price of one share of an Acquiring Fund without a sales charge, and is calculated each business day using the following formula:

 

Net Asset Value =     Total market value of securities + Cash and other assets - liabilities    
  Number of outstanding shares    

 

The net asset value of fund shares is determined according to this schedule:

 

  A share’s net asset value is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) on the days the Exchange is open for trading. This is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

 

  The price you pay for purchasing, redeeming or exchanging a share will be based upon the net asset value next calculated after your order is received “in good order” by Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., the Acquiring Funds’ Transfer Agent (plus or minus applicable sales charges). We consider investments to be received in good order when all required documents and your check or wired funds are received by us or by certain other agents of the Acquiring Funds or their Distributor.

 

  Requests received by the Distributor or selected dealers and agents after the Exchange closes will be processed based upon the net asset value determined at the close of regular trading on the next day that the Exchange is open.

 

  A fund heavily invested in foreign securities may have net asset value changes on days when you cannot buy or sell its shares.

 

Generally, during times of substantial economic or market change, it may be difficult to place your order by phone. During these times, you may deliver your order in person to the Distributor or send your order by mail as described in “Buying Shares” and “Selling Shares.”

 

Generally, Acquiring Fund securities are valued as follows:

 

  Equity securities – most recent sales price or official closing price or if there is no sale or official closing price, latest available bid price.

 

45


  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) – based upon pricing service valuations.

 

  Short-term obligations (with maturities of 60 days or less) – amortized cost (which approximates market value).

 

  Securities traded on foreign exchanges – most recent sales or bid price on the foreign exchange or market, unless a significant event or circumstance occurs after the close of that market or exchange that will materially affect its value. In that case, fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Trust’s board of trustees at the close of regular trading on the Exchange.

 

  Options – last sales price or, if not available, previous day’s sales price. Options not traded on an exchange or actively traded are valued according to fair value methods.

 

  Futures – last sales price or, if there is no sale, latest available bid price.

 

  Other Securities – other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided are value at their fair value under the direction of the Trust’s board of trustees.

 

Events or circumstances affecting the values of fund securities that occur between the closing of principal markets on which they trade and the time the net asset value of the fund shares is determined may be reflected in the Trust’s calculations of net asset values for each applicable fund when the Trust deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such fund’s net asset value.

 

The effect of fair value pricing as described above is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value. This policy is intended to assure that the fund’s net asset value fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

 

Dividends and other Distributions and Tax Consequences

 

Dividends and other Distributions

 

The AXA Technology Fund generally distribute most or all of its net investment income and net realized gains, if any, annually. The AXA Bond Fund normally pays dividends monthly and its net realized gains, if any, annually.

 

Depending on your investment goals and priorities, you may choose to:

 

  Reinvest all distributions;

 

  Reinvest all distributions in the same class of another AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund;

 

  Receive distributions from dividends and interest in cash while reinvesting distributions from capital gains in additional shares of the same class of the Acquiring Fund or in the same class of another AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund; or

 

  Receive all distributions in cash.

 

Unless you indicate otherwise, distributions will automatically be reinvested in shares of the same class of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value.

Tax Consequences

 

Each Acquiring Fund intends to meet all requirements of the Code necessary to qualify for treatment as a “regulated investment company” and thus does not expect to pay any federal income tax on net income and capital gains it distributes to its shareholders.

 

Fund distributions paid to you, whether in cash or reinvested in additional shares, are generally taxable to you. Distributions derived from net investment income or the excess of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital loss are generally taxable at ordinary income rates, except that an Acquiring Fund’s dividends attributable to “qualified dividend income” (i.e., dividends received on stock of U.S. and certain foreign corporations with respect to which the Acquiring Fund satisfies certain holding period, debt-financing and other restrictions) generally are subject to a 15% maximum federal income tax rate for individual shareholders who satisfy those restrictions with respect to the Acquiring Fund shares on which the dividends were paid. Distributions of gains from investments that an Acquiring Fund owned for more than one year and that it designates as capital gain dividends generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held Acquiring Fund shares, and also are subject to a 15% maximum federal income tax rate for individual shareholders to the extent the distributions are attributable to net capital gain the Acquiring Fund recognizes on sales or exchanges of capital assets after May 5, 2003, through its last taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009.

 

An exchange of shares for shares of another AXA Enterprise Multimanager Fund is treated as a sale, and any resulting gain or loss will be subject to federal income tax; any such gain an individual shareholder recognizes on a redemption or exchange of his or her Acquiring Fund shares that have been held for more than one year will qualify for the 15% maximum federal income tax rate. If you purchase shares of an Acquiring Fund shortly before it declares a capital gain distribution or a dividend, a portion of the purchase price may be returned to you as a taxable distribution.

 

If you earn more than $10 annually in taxable income from an Acquiring Fund, you will receive a Form 1099 to help you report the prior calendar year’s distributions and redemption proceeds, if any, on your federal income tax return. Be sure to keep that form as a permanent record. A fee may be charged for any duplicate information requested.

 

You should consult your tax adviser about any federal, state and local taxes that may apply to the distributions you receive.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The following financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each class of shares of each Acquiring Fund for the periods shown. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that a shareholder would have earned (or lost) on an investment in an Acquiring Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and disbursements).

APPENDIX A

 

FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this              day of             , 2005, between AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust”), on behalf of each of its segregated portfolios of assets (“series”) listed under the heading “Acquiring Funds” on Schedule A to this Agreement (“Schedule A”) (each, an “Acquiring Fund”), and The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (formerly The Enterprise Group of Funds II, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (“Corporation”), on behalf of each of its series listed under the heading “Acquired Funds” on Schedule A (each, an “Acquired Fund”). (Each Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund is sometimes referred to herein as a “Fund,” and each of the Trust and the Corporation is sometimes referred to herein as an “Investment Company.”) All agreements, covenants, representations, actions, and obligations described herein made or to be taken or undertaken by a Fund are made and shall be taken or undertaken by the Trust on each Acquiring Fund’s behalf and by the Corporation on each Acquired Fund’s behalf, and all rights and benefits created hereunder in favor of a Fund shall inure to, and shall be enforceable by, the Investment Company of which it is a series acting on its behalf.

 

Each Investment Company wishes to effect two separate reorganizations, each described in section 368(a)(1)(C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and intends this Agreement to be, and adopts it as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations under the Code (“Regulations”). Each reorganization will consist of (1) an Acquired Fund’s transfer of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund listed on Schedule A opposite its name in exchange solely for voting shares of beneficial interest in that Acquiring Fund and that Acquiring Fund’s assumption of all that Acquired Fund’s stated liabilities, (2) the distribution of those shares pro rata to that Acquired Fund’s shareholders in exchange for their shares of stock therein and in complete liquidation thereof, and (3) that Acquired Fund’s termination (all the foregoing transactions involving each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund being referred to herein collectively as a “Reorganization”), all on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The consummation of one Reorganization shall not be contingent on the consummation of the other Reorganization. (For convenience, the balance of this Agreement refers only to a single Reorganization, one Acquired Fund, and one Acquiring Fund, but the terms and conditions hereof shall apply separately to each Reorganization and the Funds participating therein.)

 

Each Investment Company’s Board of Trustees/Directors (each, a “Board”), including a majority of its members who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”)) thereof, (1) has duly adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (2) has determined that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of its Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of its Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

 

The Acquired Fund offers four classes of shares of common stock ($0.001 par value per share), designated Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares (“Class A Acquired Fund Shares,” “Class B Acquired Fund Shares,” “Class C Acquired Fund Shares,” and “Class Y Acquired Fund Shares,” respectively, and collectively, “Acquired Fund Shares”). The Acquiring Fund offers four classes of voting shares of beneficial interest ($0.001 par value per share), also designated Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class Y shares (“Class A Acquiring Fund Shares,” “Class B Acquiring Fund Shares,” “Class C Acquiring Fund Shares,” and “Class Y Acquiring Fund Shares,” respectively, and collectively, (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); although the Acquiring Fund offers a fifth class of shares, designated Class P shares, those shares are not involved in the Reorganization and are not included in the term “Acquiring Fund Shares.” Each class of Acquiring Fund Shares is identical to the similarly designated class of Acquired Fund Shares.

 


In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Investment Companies agree as follows:

 

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

 

1.1. Subject to the requisite approval of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders and the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Acquired Fund shall assign, sell, convey, transfer, and deliver all of its assets described in paragraph 1.2 (“Assets”) to the Acquiring Fund. In exchange therefor, the Acquiring Fund shall —

 

  (a) issue and deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional (rounded to the eighth decimal place) (i) Class A Acquiring Fund Shares determined by dividing the Acquired Fund’s net value (computed as set forth in paragraph 2.1) (“Acquired Fund Value”) attributable to the Class A Acquired Fund Shares by the net asset value (“NAV”) of a Class A Acquiring Fund Share (computed as set forth in paragraph 2.2), (ii) Class B Acquiring Fund Shares determined by dividing the Acquired Fund Value attributable to the Class B Acquired Fund Shares by the NAV of a Class B Acquiring Fund Share (as so computed), (iii) Class C Acquiring Fund Shares determined by dividing the Acquired Fund Value attributable to the Class C Acquired Fund Shares by the NAV of a Class C Acquiring Fund Share (as so computed), and (iv) Class Y Acquiring Fund Shares determined by dividing the Acquired Fund Value attributable to the Class Y Acquired Fund Shares by the NAV of a Class Y Acquiring Fund Share (as so computed), and

 

  (b) assume all of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities described in paragraph 1.3 (“Liabilities”).

 

Such transactions shall take place at the Closing (as defined in paragraph 3.1).

 

1.2. The Assets shall consist of all assets and property — including all cash, cash equivalents, securities, commodities, futures interests, receivables (including interest and dividends receivable), claims and rights of action, rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, books and records, and deferred and prepaid expenses shown as assets on the Acquired Fund’s books — the Acquired Fund owns at the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1).

 

1.3. The Liabilities shall consist of all of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities set forth on a statement of assets and liabilities as of the Valuation Time prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), certified by the Corporation’s Treasurer (“Statement of Assets and Liabilities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acquired Fund will endeavor to discharge all its known liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties before the Closing Time (as defined in paragraph 3.1).

 

1.4. On or immediately before the closing date provided for in paragraph 3.1 (“Closing Date”), the Acquired Fund shall declare and pay to its shareholders one or more dividends and/or other distributions in an amount large enough so that it will have distributed substantially all (and in any event not less than 98%) of its (a) ”investment company taxable income” (within the meaning of section 852(b)(2) of the Code), computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, and (b) ”net capital gain” (as defined in section 1222(11) of the Code), after reduction by any capital loss carryforward, for the current taxable year through the Closing Date.

 

1.5. On the Closing Date (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable), the Acquired Fund shall distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares it receives pursuant to paragraph 1.1(a) to its shareholders of record determined as of the Closing Time (each, a “Shareholder”), in proportion to their Acquired Fund Shares then held of record and in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares, and will completely liquidate. That distribution shall be accomplished by Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., in its capacity as the Trust’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”), opening accounts on the Acquiring Fund’s share transfer books in the Shareholders’ names and transferring those Acquiring Fund Shares thereto. Each Shareholder’s account shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional (rounded to the eighth decimal place) Acquiring Fund Shares due that Shareholder, by class (i.e., the account for each Shareholder that holds Class A Acquired Fund Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional Class A Acquiring Fund Shares due that Shareholder, the account for each Shareholder that holds Class B Acquired Fund Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of full and fractional Class B Acquiring Fund Shares due that Shareholder, and so on). All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares, including any represented by certificates, shall simultaneously be canceled on the Acquired Fund’s share transfer books. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing the Acquiring Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization.

 

1.6. As soon as reasonably practicable after distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to paragraph 1.5, but in all events within six months after the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall be terminated as a series of the Corporation and any further actions shall be taken in connection therewith as required by applicable law.

 

A-2


1.7. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares shall be shown on the Transfer Agent’s books.

 

1.8. Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund to a public authority, including the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, any federal, state, and local tax authorities, and any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain its responsibility up to and including the date on which it is terminated.

 

1.9. Any transfer taxes payable on issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder on the Acquired Fund’s share transfer books of the Acquired Fund Shares actually or constructively exchanged therefor shall be paid by the person to whom those Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued, as a condition of that transfer.

In rendering such opinion, Counsel need not undertake any independent investigation, examination, or inquiry to determine the existence or absence of any facts, need not cause a search to be made of court records or liens in any jurisdiction with respect to either Investment Company or Fund, and may (1) rely, as to matters governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and/or the State of Delaware, on an opinion of competent Maryland or Delaware counsel, respectively, (2) make assumptions that the execution, delivery, and performance of any agreement, instrument, or document by any person or entity other than an Investment Company has been duly authorized, (3) make assumptions regarding the authenticity, genuineness, and/or conformity of documents and copies thereof without independent verification thereof and other assumptions customary for opinions of this type, (4) limit such opinion to applicable federal and state law, (5) define the word “knowledge” and related terms to mean the actual knowledge of attorneys then with Counsel who have devoted substantive attention to matters directly related to this

 

A-11


Agreement and the Reorganization and not to include matters as to which such attorneys could be deemed to have constructive knowledge, and (6) rely as to matters of fact on certificates of public officials and statements contained in officers’ certificates.

 

6.4. The Investment Companies shall have received an opinion of Counsel as to the federal income tax consequences mentioned below (“Tax Opinion”). In rendering the Tax Opinion, Counsel may rely as to factual matters, exclusively and without independent verification, on the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, which Counsel may treat as representations and warranties made to it, and in separate letters addressed to Counsel. The Tax Opinion shall be substantially to the effect that, based on the facts and assumptions stated therein and conditioned on consummation of the Reorganization in accordance with this Agreement, for federal income tax purposes:

 

  (a) The Acquiring Fund’s acquisition of the Assets in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and its assumption of the Liabilities, followed by the Acquired Fund’s distribution of those shares pro rata to the Shareholders actually or constructively in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares, will qualify as a “reorganization” (as defined in section 368(a)(1) of the Code), and each Fund will be “a party to a reorganization” within the meaning of section 368(b) of the Code;

 

  (b) The Acquired Fund will recognize no gain or loss on the transfer of the Assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and the Acquiring Fund’s assumption of the Liabilities or on the subsequent distribution of those shares to the Shareholders in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares;

 

  (c) The Acquiring Fund will recognize no gain or loss on its receipt of the Assets in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and its assumption of the Liabilities;

 

  (d) The Acquiring Fund’s basis in each Asset will be the same as the Acquired Fund’s basis therein immediately before the Reorganization, and the Acquiring Fund’s holding period for each Asset will include the Acquired Fund’s holding period therefor;

 

  (e) A Shareholder will recognize no gain or loss on the exchange of all its Acquired Fund Shares solely for Acquiring Fund Shares pursuant to the Reorganization; and

 

  (f) A Shareholder’s aggregate basis in the Acquiring Fund Shares it receives in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis in its Acquired Fund Shares it actually or constructively surrenders in exchange for those Acquiring Fund Shares, and its holding period for those Acquiring Fund Shares will include, in each instance, its holding period for those Acquired Fund Shares, provided the Shareholder holds them as capital assets on the Closing Date.

 

Notwithstanding subparagraphs (b) and (d), the Tax Opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to the effect of the Reorganization on the Funds or any Shareholder with respect to any Asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes at the end of a taxable year (or on the termination or transfer thereof) under a mark-to-market system of accounting.

 

6.5. At any time before the Closing, either Investment Company may waive any of the foregoing conditions (except those set forth in paragraphs 6.1 and 6.4) if, in the judgment of its Board, such waiver will not have a material adverse effect on its Fund’s shareholders’ interests.

 

7. EXPENSES

 

The Reorganization Expenses shall be borne by the Funds in proportion to their respective NAVs at the Valuation Time. The Reorganization Expenses include costs associated with obtaining any necessary order of exemption from the 1940 Act, preparation of the Registration Statement, printing and distributing the Acquiring Fund’s prospectus and the Acquired Fund’s proxy materials, legal fees, accounting fees, securities registration fees, and expenses of holding shareholders meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses shall be paid by the party

 

A-12


directly incurring them if and to the extent that the payment thereof by another person would result in such party’s disqualification as a RIC or would prevent the Reorganization from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization.

 

8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO SURVIVAL

 

Neither Investment Company has made any representation, warranty, or covenant not set forth herein, and this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Investment Companies. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not survive the Closing.

 

9. TERMINATION

 

This Agreement may be terminated at any time at or before the Closing:

 

9.1. By either Investment Company (a) in the event of the other Investment Company’s material breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein to be performed at or before the Closing, (b) if a condition to its obligations has not been met and it reasonably appears that such condition will not or cannot be met, or (c) if the Closing has not occurred on or before [                    ], 2005, or such other date as to which the Investment Companies agree; or

 

9.2. By the Investment Companies’ mutual agreement.

 

In the event of termination under paragraphs 9.1(c) or 9.2, neither Investment Company (nor its trustees/directors, officers, or shareholders) shall have any liability to the other Investment Company.

 

10. AMENDMENTS

 

The Investment Companies may amend, modify, or supplement this Agreement at any time in any manner they mutually agree on in writing, notwithstanding the Acquired Fund’s shareholders’ approval thereof; provided that, following such approval no such amendment, modification, or supplement shall have a material adverse effect on the Shareholders’ interests.

 

11. SEVERABILITY

 

Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.1. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware; provided that, in the case of any conflict between those laws and the federal securities laws, the latter shall govern.

 

12.2. Nothing expressed or implied herein is intended or shall be construed to confer on or give any person, firm, trust, or corporation other than each Investment Company (on its respective Fund’s behalf) and its respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

12.3. Notice is hereby given that this instrument is executed and delivered on behalf of the Trust’s trustees solely in their capacities as trustees and not individually. Each Investment Company’s obligations under this instrument are not binding on or enforceable against any of its trustees/directors, officers, or shareholders or any series of the Investment Company other than its Fund but are only binding on and enforceable against its Fund’s property. Each Investment Company, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement on its Fund’s behalf,

 

A-13


shall look only to the other Fund’s property in settlement of such rights or claims and not to the property of any other series of the other Investment Company or to such trustees/directors, officers, or shareholders.

 

12.4. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been executed by each Investment Company and delivered to the other Investment Company. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party has caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year first written above.

This Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) is available to shareholders of the Enterprise Technology Fund and Enterprise Total Return Fund (each, an “Acquired Fund” and collectively, the “Acquired Funds”), each of which is a series of The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), in connection with the proposed transaction whereby all of the assets and stated liabilities of each Acquired Fund will be transferred to the corresponding series (each, an “Acquiring Fund” and collective, the “Acquiring Funds”) of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (the “Trust”) shown in the table above, in exchange for shares of that Acquiring Fund (each, a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”).

 

This SAI consists of this cover page, the information set forth below and the following described documents, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and accompanies this SAI:

 

  (1) The Statement of Additional Information of the Trust dated December 13, 2004, as supplemented, which includes information relating to the Acquiring Funds;

 

  (2) The combined Annual Report to Shareholders of the Trust for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, which includes information relating to the Acquiring Funds; and

 

  (3) The combined Annual Report to Shareholders of the Corporation for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, which includes information relating to the Acquired Funds.

 

The Trust’s Statement of Additional Information that is incorporated by reference herein includes information about its other funds that is not relevant to the Reorganizations. Please disregard that information.

 


This SAI is not a prospectus. A Combined Proxy Statement and Prospectus dated             , 2005 relating to the Reorganizations (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) may be obtained, without charge, by writing to the Trust at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104 or calling (800) 528-0404. This SAI should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following tables set forth pro forma Portfolio of Investments as of October 31, 2004, the pro forma condensed Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of October 31, 2004, and the pro forma condensed Statement of Operations for the twelve month period ended October 31, 2004 for each Acquired Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund as adjusted giving effect to the Reorganization.

 

The pro forma Portfolio of Investments contains information about the securities holdings of the Funds as of October 31, 2004, which has changed, and will continue to change, over time due to normal portfolio turnover in response to changes in market conditions. Thus, it is expected that a portion of each Acquired Fund’s holdings may not remain at the time of its Reorganization. It is also expected that if the shareholders of the Enterprise Technology Fund and Enterprise Total Return Fund approve the Reorganization, each Acquired Fund’s holdings that are not compatible with the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s holdings will be liquidated in an orderly manner in connection with its Reorganization, and the proceeds of these sales held in temporary investments or reinvested in assets that are consistent with the holdings of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. As of                     , 2004, these assets represented less than     % of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s and     % of the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s portfolio. The portion of each of these Acquired Fund’s assets that will be liquidated in connection with its Reorganization will depend on market conditions and on the subadviser’s assessment of the compatibility of the Acquired Fund’s holdings with the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio composition and its investment objective and policies at the approximate time of the Reorganization.

 

The need for an Acquired Fund to dispose of investments in connection with its Reorganization may result in that Fund’s selling securities at a disadvantageous time or price and could result in that Fund’s realizing gain (or losses) that would not otherwise have been realized.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED - As of October 31, 2004)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF COMBINATION:

 

On December 15, 2004 the Board of Directors of the The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Termination (“Reorganization”). The Reorganization contemplates the transfer of all assets of the Enterprise Technology Fund (“Technology Fund”) to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund (“AXA Technology Fund”) (the “Funds”) and assumption by the AXA Technology of all of the stated liabilities of the Technology Fund in exchange for shares of AXA Technology Fund having an aggregate value equal to the assets and liabilities of the Technology Fund, and the subsequent liquidation of the Technology Fund. The Technology Fund’s annual contractual management fee equals 1.00% of average daily net assets. The AXA Technology Fund annual contractual management fee rate equals 1.30% of average daily net assets. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company has agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the AXA Technology Fund so that the total annual operating expenses are limited to 2.15%, 2.70%, 2.70% and 1.70% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. The Reorganization is subject to Technology Fund shareholder approval. A special meeting of shareholders of the Technology Fund will be held on or about April 20, 2005.

 

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax free reorganization of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at October 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Technology Fund and the AXA Technology Fund at October 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of Technology Fund and the AXA Technology Fund for the period/year ended October 31, 2004. These statements have been derived from the respective Fund’s books and records utilized in calculating the daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for the Technology Fund and the AXA Technology Fund under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the Premier Technology for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

 

The AXA Technology Fund is the “accounting survivor.” The general criteria that is applied to determine the proper accounting survivor is outlined in the “AICPA Accounting and Audit Guide for Investment Companies,” and include in their order of relative importance:

 

a.) Portfolio Management - The merged entity will be managed by the same investment advisers as the AXA Technology Fund.

 

b.) Portfolio Composition - The portfolio composition of the merged entity will resemble the portfolio structure of the AXA Technology Fund.

 

c.) Investment, Policies and Restrictions - The merged entity will have the same investment policies and restrictions as the Premier Technology Fund.

 

d.) Expense Structure and Expense Ratios - The merged entity will have the same expense structure and expense ratios as the AXA Technology Fund.

 

8


The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments, and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information for the AXA Premier Funds Trust.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“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:

 

Stocks listed on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the date of valuation or, if there is no sale or official closing price, at the latest available bid price. Other unlisted stocks are valued at their last sale price or official closing price or, if no reported sale occurs during the day, at a bid price estimated by a broker. Securities listed on the NASDAQ exchange 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.

 

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 securities. Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be adjusted based on recent premium spreads to the underlying common stocks. 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. If a quoted price is unavailable, an equivalent yield or yield spread quote will be obtained from a broker and converted to a price.

 

Options, including options on futures that are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale price, and if the last sale price is not available then the previous day’s sale price is used. Options not traded on an exchange or actively traded are valued at fair value under the direction of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”).

 

9


Long-term corporate bonds 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; however, when such prices are unavailable, such bonds will be valued using broker quotes.

 

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 not traded directly, or in American Depositary 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.

 

Short-term debt securities, which mature in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities, which mature in more than 60 days are valued at representative, quoted prices.

 

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.

 

Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided, are valued at fair value under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

 

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 in the Trust’s calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Trust’s investment manager deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value.

 

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date net of brokerage fees, commissions, and transfer fees. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on long-term securities using the effective yield method) is accrued daily.

 

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the basis of the specific identification method of the investments sold.

 

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

 

10


All income earned and expenses incurred by each Fund are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Fund 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 Funds 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid are presented under foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translations of the realized and unrealized gains and losses section, respectively, 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.

 

Taxes:

 

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders of each Fund. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed at least annually. Depending on circumstances post merger, the Funds may have a low factor on the amount of capital loss any forwards it may utilize in future years. Dividends from net realized short-term and long-term capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually to the shareholders of the Funds to which such gains are attributable. All dividends are distributed on a tax basis and, as such, the amounts may differ from financial statement investment income and realized capital gains. Those differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for forward foreign currency transactions, losses due to wash sales transactions, mark-to market of forward contracts, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies, and straddle transactions.

 

11


Short-term capital gains and foreign currency gains are treated as capital gains for accounting (book) purposes but are considered ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

NOTE 3 – SHARES:

 

Each of the Technology Fund and the AXA Technology Fund offer Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class of shares of the Technology Fund B substantially identified to the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Technology Fund. The AXA Technology Fund also offers Class P shares, but they are not involved in the Reorganization. The unaudited pro forma net asset value per share assumes additional shares of beneficial interest issued for each class in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Technology Fund by the Premier Technology as of October 31, 2004. The number of additional shares issued was calculated by dividing the net asset value of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y of the Technology Fund by the corresponding net asset value per share of the Premier Technology.

 

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the Premier Technology’s shares as if the merger had taken place on October 31, 2004. The Funds will bear the expenses of the Reorganization, which are estimated at $             . The pro forma adjustments include expense adjustments due to the annualization of certain items in the statement of operations.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED - As of October 31, 2004)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF COMBINATION:

 

On December 15, 2004 the Board of Directors of the The Enterprise Group of Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Termination (“Reorganization”). The Reorganization contemplates the transfer of all assets of the Enterprise Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return Fund”) to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund (“AXA Core Bond”) and assumption by the AXA Core Bond of all of the stated liabilities of the Total Return Fund in exchange for shares of AXA Core Bond having an aggregate value equal to the assets and liabilities of the Total Return Fund, and the subsequent liquidation of the Total Return Fund. The Total Return Fund’s annual contractual management fee equals 0.65% of average daily net assets. The AXA Core Bond’s annual contractual management fee rate equals 0.70% of average daily net assets. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company has agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the AXA Core Bond so that the total annual operating expenses are limited to 1.25%, 1.80%, 1.80% and 0.80% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. The Reorganization is subject to Total Return Fund shareholder approval. A special meeting of shareholders of the Total Return Fund will be held on or about April 20, 2005.

 

The Reorganization will be accounted for as a tax free reorganization of investment companies. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the Reorganization occurred at October 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments and statement of assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Total Return Fund and the AXA Core Bond at October 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of Total Return Fund and the AXA Core Bond for the period/year ended October 31, 2004. These statements have been derived from the respective Fund’s books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for the Total Return Fund and the AXA Core Bond under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and results of operations of the AXA Core Bond for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

 

The AXA Core Bond is the “accounting survivor.” The general criteria that is applied to determine the proper accounting survivor is outlined in the “AICPA Accounting and Audit Guide for Investment Companies,” and include in their order of relative importance:

 

  a.) Portfolio Management—The merged entity will be managed by the same investment advisers in the AXA Core Bond.

 

  b.) Portfolio Composition - The portfolio composition of the merged entity will resemble the portfolio structure of the AXA Core Bond.

 

  c.) Investment, Polices and Restrictions – The merged entity will have the same investment policies and restrictions as the AXA Core Bond.

 

27


  d.) Expense Structure and Expense Ratios – The merged entity will have the same expense structure and expense ratios as the AXA Core Bond.

 

The unaudited pro forma portfolio of investments, and statements of assets and liabilities and operations should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Funds incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information for the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (“Trust”).

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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:

 

Stocks listed on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the date of valuation or, if there is no sale or official closing price, at the latest available bid price. Other unlisted stocks are valued at their last sale price or official closing price or, if no reported sale occurs during the day, at a bid price estimated by a broker. Securities listed on the NASDAQ exchange 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.

 

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 securities. Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be adjusted based on recent premium spreads to the underlying common stocks. 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. If a quoted price is unavailable, an equivalent yield or yield spread quote will be obtained from a broker and converted to a price.

 

Options, including options on futures that are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale price, and if the last sale price is not available then the previous day’s sale price is used. Options not traded on an exchange or actively traded are valued at fair value under the direction of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”).

 

28


Long-term corporate bonds 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; however, when such prices are unavailable, such bonds will be valued using broker quotes.

 

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 not traded directly, or in American Depositary 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.

 

Short-term debt securities, which mature in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities, which mature in more than 60 days are valued at representative, quoted prices.

 

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.

 

Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be provided, are valued at fair value under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

 

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 in the Trust’s calculation of net asset values for each applicable Fund when the Trust’s investment manager deems that the particular event or circumstance would materially affect such Fund’s net asset value.

 

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date net of brokerage fees, commissions, and transfer fees. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on long-term securities using the effective yield method) is accrued daily.

 

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the basis of the specific identification method of the investments sold.

 

29


All income earned and expenses incurred by each Fund are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Fund 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 Funds 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid are presented under foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translations of the realized and unrealized gains and losses section, respectively, 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 Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts actually received or paid.

 

Taxes:

 

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders of each Fund. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed at least annually. Depending on circumstances post merger, the Fund may have a low factor on the amount of capital loss carry forwards it may utilize in future years. Dividends from net realized short-term and long-term capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually to the shareholders of the Funds to which such gains are attributable. All dividends are distributed on a tax basis and, as such, the amounts may differ from financial statement investment income and realized capital gains. Those differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for deferred organization costs, forward foreign currency transactions, losses due to wash sales transactions, mark-to market of forward contracts, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies, and straddle transactions.

 

30


Short-term capital gains and foreign currency gains are treated as capital gains for accounting (book) purposes but are considered ordinary income for tax purposes.

 

NOTE 3 – SHARES:

 

Each of the Total Return Fund and the AXA Core Bond Fund offer Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class of shares of the Total Return Fund is substantially identified to the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Core Bond Fund. The AXA Core Bond Fund also offers Class P shares, but they are not involved in the Reorganization. The unaudited pro forma net asset value per share assumes additional shares of beneficial interest issued for each class in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Total Return Fund by the Premier Core Bond as of October 31, 2004. The number of additional shares issued was calculated by dividing the net asset value of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y of the Total Return Fund by the corresponding net asset value per share of the Premier Core Bond.

 

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the Premier Core Bond’s shares as if the merger had taken place on October 31, 2004. The Funds will bear the expenses of the Reorganization, which are estimated at $             . The pro forma adjustments include expense adjustments due to the annualization of certain items in the statement of operations.

Section 1. Limitation of Liability. A Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any Person, other than the Trust or a Shareholder to the extent provided in this Article VIII, for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust, of such Trustee or of any other Trustee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee against any liability to the Trust or to any Shareholder to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of the Trustee hereunder.

 

All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust or a particular Series shall look only to the assets of the Trust or such Series for payment under such contract or claim; and neither the Trustees nor any of the Trust’s officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the Trust, the Trustees and officers of the Trust shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, Manager, or Principal Underwriter of the Trust, but nothing contained in this Declaration of Trust or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

 

Every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking and every other act or thing whatsoever executed or done by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees by any of them in connection with the Trust shall conclusively be deemed to have been executed or done only in or with respect to his or their capacity as Trustee or Trustees, and such Trustee or Trustees shall not be personally liable thereon.

The Trust, on behalf of the affected Series, shall, upon request by such Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against such Shareholder for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon from the assets of the Series.

B. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any other federal securities law, the Manager and the Trust shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including legal and other expenses) incurred or suffered by the Adviser as a result of any error of judgment or mistake of law by the Manager with respect to the Allocated Portion, except that nothing in this Agreement shall operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive or limit the liability of the Manager for, and the Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser, all affiliated persons thereof (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act) and all controlling persons (as described in Section 15 of the 1933 Act) (collectively, “Adviser Indemnitees”) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which any of the Adviser Indemnitees may become subject under the 1933 Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act, or under any other statute, at common law or otherwise arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of the Manager in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus and SAI, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Fund or the omission to state therein a material fact known to the Manager that was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Manager or the Trust.

 

Article Tenth of each of the Registrant’s Distribution Agreements states:

 

In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Distributor, the Trust on behalf of the Fund agrees to indemnify the Distributor against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses which the Distributor may incur under the 1933 Act, or common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or prospectus of a Fund, or any omission to state a material fact therein, the omission of which makes any statement contained therein misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust or the Fund in connection therewith by or on behalf of the Distributor. The Distributor agrees to indemnify the Trust and the Fund against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses which the Trust or a Fund may incur arising out of or based upon any act or deed of the Distributor or its sales representatives which has not be authorized by the Trust or a Fund in its prospectus or in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Distributor shall not be liable for any errors of the Fund’s transfer agent(s), or for any failure of any such transfer agent to perform its duties.

 

C-3


Number 6 of the Registrant’s Mutual Funds Service Agreement states:

 

(a) AXA Equitable shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or expense suffered by the Trust, in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except for a loss or expense caused by or resulting from or attributable to willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on AXA Equitable’s part (or on the part of any third party to whom AXA Equitable has delegated any of its duties and obligations pursuant to Section 4(c) hereunder) in the performance of its (or such third party’s) duties or from reckless disregard by AXA Equitable (or by such third party) of its obligations and duties under this Agreement (in the case of AXA Equitable) or under an agreement with AXA Equitable (in the case of such third party) or, subject to Section 10 below, AXA Equitable’s (or such third party’s) refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement (in the case of AXA Equitable) or an agreement with AXA Equitable (in the case of such third party) or its breach of any representation or warranty under this Agreement (in the case of AXA Equitable) or under an agreement with AXA Equitable (in the case of such third party). In no event shall AXA Equitable (or such third party) be liable for any indirect, incidental special or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if AXA Equitable (or such third party) has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

(b) Except to the extent that AXA Equitable may be held liable pursuant to Section 6(a) above, AXA Equitable shall not be responsible for, and the Trust shall indemnify and hold AXA Equitable harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, payments, expenses and liabilities, including but not limited to those arising out of or attributable to:

 

(i) any and all actions of AXA Equitable or its officers or agents required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(ii) the reliance on or use by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents of information, records, or documents which are received by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents and furnished to it or them by or on behalf of the Trust, and which have been prepared or maintained by the Trust or any third party on behalf of the Trust;

 

(iii) the Trust’s refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the Trust’s lack of good faith, or its actions, or lack thereof, involving negligence or willful misfeasance;

 

(iv) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Trust hereunder;

 

(v) the reliance on or the carrying out by AXA Equitable or its officers or agents of any proper instructions reasonably believed to be duly authorized, or requests of the Trust;

 

(vi) any delays, inaccuracies, errors in or omissions from information or data provided to AXA Equitable by data services, including data services providing information in connection with any third party computer system licensed to AXA Equitable, and by any corporate action services, pricing services or securities brokers and dealers;

 

(vii) the offer or sale of shares by the Trust in violation of any requirement under the Federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any state, or in violation of any stop order or other determination or ruling by any Federal agency or any state agency with respect to the offer or sale of such shares in such state (1) resulting from activities, actions, or omissions by the Trust or its other service providers and agents, or (2) existing or arising out of activities, actions or omissions by or on behalf of the Trust prior to the effective date of this Agreement;

 

(viii) any failure of the Trust’s registration statement to comply with the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act (including the rules and regulations thereunder) and any other applicable laws, or

 

C-4


any untrue statement of a material fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in a Trust’s prospectus;

 

(ix) except as provided for in Schedule B.III., the actions taken by the Trust, its Manager, its investment advisers, and its distributor in compliance with applicable securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations, or the failure to so comply, and

 

(x) all actions, inactions, omissions, or errors caused by third parties to whom AXA Equitable or the Trust has assigned any rights and/or delegated any duties under this Agreement at the specific request of or as required by the Trust, its Funds, investment advisers, or Trust distributors.

 

The Trust shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trust has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action, except when the Trust is required to indemnify AXA Equitable pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Number 12(a)(iii) of the Registrant’s Global Custody Agreement states:

 

(A) Customer shall indemnify and hold Bank and its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilties, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and expenses, including out-of-pocket and incidental expenses and legal fees (“Losses”) that may be incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions or other directions upon which Bank is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (B) In addition to and not in limitation of the preceding subparagraph, Customer shall also indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of Bank’s performance under this Agreement, provided the Indemnitees have not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct. (C) In performing its obligations hereunder, Bank may rely on the genuineness of any document which it believes in good faith to have been validly executed.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Trust in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Trust by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
