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”), a Maryland corporation, that will be considered at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on March 31, 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 the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust that 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 both 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. on July 8, 2004, Enterprise Capital Management, Inc. (“Enterprise Capital”), the Corporation’s investment manager, and AXA Equitable (collectively, the “Managers”) reviewed the Corporation’s and the Trust’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. In this connection, the Managers 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 March 1, 2005, the proxy solicitor may contact you. If you have any questions about the proposals or the voting instructions, please call us at 1-800-309-2984.

 

Very truly yours,

VOTING INFORMATION

 

Record Date and Share Ownership

 

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 24, 2005 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of a 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 a 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

   8,194,603    3,056,704    4,003,762    1,073,388    60,749

Enterprise Total Return Fund

   8,377,253    3,718,582    2,554,726    1,894,657    209,308

 

Except as set forth in Appendix A, Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable do 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.

 

1


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.

 

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 Investor Connect for a fee of approximately $110,000 plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Certain directors, officers and other employees of the Corporation, Enterprise Capital or its affiliates, 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 B.

 

The Proposed Reorganizations

 

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is soliciting shareholders with investments in one or both of the Acquired Funds to approve the Reorganization Agreement, whereby

 

2


each Acquired Fund will be reorganized into an Acquiring Fund. The Acquired Funds’ shares are divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares (collectively, the “Acquired Fund Shares”). The Acquiring Funds’ shares are divided into five classes, four of which also are designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares (collectively, the “Acquiring Fund Shares”); the Acquiring Fund’s fifth class of shares, designated Class P shares, are not involved in the Reorganization and are not included in the term “Acquiring Fund Shares.”

 

The Reorganization Agreement provides, with respect to each Reorganization, for:

 

    the transfer of all the assets of the Acquired Fund to the 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 the 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 May 6, 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. The consummation of one Reorganization is not contingent on the consummation of the other Reorganization.

 

The Corporation’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement with respect to each Acquired Fund. Accordingly, the Board is submitting the Reorganization Agreement for approval by each Acquired Fund’s shareholders. In considering whether to approve a proposal, 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. The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each Proposal to approve the Reorganization Agreement.

 

3


Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations

 

As a condition to consummation of each Reorganization, each Company will receive an opinion from Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP to the effect that neither the Funds participating therein nor 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 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 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 the Reorganizations. Please see the “Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Proposed Reorganizations” section below for further information.

 

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

 

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:

 

   

Following the Reorganization, the combined Fund will be managed in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations of the AXA Technology Fund, which are substantially similar to those of the Enterprise Technology Fund. 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 may invest in companies of any size. 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. As a result, the AXA Technology Fund generally has greater potential to benefit from investing in foreign securities; however, it also may be subject to the risks of investing in such securities to a greater extent than the Enterprise Technology Fund. In addition, the AXA Technology Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in a limited number of issuers, while the Enterprise Technology Fund

 

4


 

is diversified. As a result, the AXA Technology Fund may be more sensitive to positive or negative changes in the market value of a single issuer or industry than the Enterprise Technology Fund. 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. Thus, a subadviser to the AXA Technology Fund has greater flexibility to reduce the Fund’s exposure to the risks of investing in such companies where the subadviser believes that is appropriate; however, it is possible that the performance of the AXA Technology Fund could be adversely affected if the stocks of such companies perform better than the Fund as a whole and the Fund does not have at least 25% of its assets invested in such companies. 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 (the “Manager”) serves as the investment manager for the AXA Technology Fund and will continue to serve as such following the Reorganization, 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. It is expected that the subadvisers for the AXA Technology Fund will continue to serve as the subadvisers for the combined Fund following the Reorganization.

 

    You will not pay any front-end or deferred sales charge in connection with the Reorganization. However, Class B and Class C shares of the AXA Technology Fund issued in connection with the Reorganization will be subject to the same contingent deferred sales charge, if any, applicable to the corresponding shares of the Enterprise Technology Fund held by a shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization. The period that a shareholder held shares of the Enterprise Technology Fund will be included in the holding period of the AXA Technology Fund Shares for purposes of calculating any contingent deferred sales charge. Similarly, Class B shares of the AXA Technology Fund issued to a shareholder in connection with the Reorganization will convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after the date that the corresponding Class B shares of the Enterprise Technology Fund were purchased by the shareholder. Each Fund is subject to the same sales load structure, as described in the table below in the section entitled “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables.” In addition, fund services and the procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares of the Funds are identical. Please see the “Additional Information about the Acquiring Fund” section below for more information.

 

5


    The total annual operating 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 pays an administration 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%, respectively, 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. The expense limitation arrangements will expire on February 28, 2006 and will be considered for renewal by the Trust’s Board and AXA Equitable annually thereafter.

 

The Corporation’s Board and AXA Equitable believe 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 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 AXA Technology Fund will revise any of its policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Enterprise Technology Fund. AXA Equitable and the subadvisers for the AXA Technology Fund have reviewed the Enterprise Technology Fund’s current portfolio and determined that the Enterprise Technology Fund’s holdings are compatible with the AXA Technology Fund’s investment objective and policies. As a result, AXA Equitable believes that, if the Reorganization is approved, all of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s assets could be transferred to and held by the AXA Technology Fund.

 

    The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, while the Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. Thus, the restructuring into a series of the Trust will cause the Enterprise Technology Fund governance to become series of a Delaware statutory trust. There are certain differences between Maryland corporate law and Delaware statutory trust law; a Delaware statutory trust generally has greater flexibility in conducting its operations. Please see the “Reasons for the Reorganizations” and “Rights of Shareholders of the Funds” sections below for more information.

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

 

The Funds have substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some important differences of which you should be aware. The investment objectives and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Trust’s Board without a vote of the Fund’s shareholders. The Acquired Fund’s investment objective may not be changed by the Corporation’s Board 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.
    The Fund invests primarily in domestic companies and also may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign companies.   The Fund generally invests a majority of its assets in domestic companies, but may invest in securities of U.S. and foreign companies.
    The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers with a specific market capitalization range or length of operating history.   Same.
    The Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in internet or intranet related companies.   The Fund also may invest in internet or intranet related companies, but does not have a policy to invest any specific amount of its assets in such companies.
    The Fund is a diversified fund.   The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in a limited number of issuers.

    The Fund may invest without limit in initial public offerings (“IPOs”), although it is uncertain whether such IPOs will be available for investment by the Fund or what impact, if any, they will have on the Fund’s performance.   The Fund also may invest in IPOs, but does not have a specific policy to invest any specific amount of its assets in IPOs.

Comparative Fee and Expense Tables

 

The following tables show 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 agreed to waive or limit their fees and to assume other expenses of their respective Funds until February 28, 2006 (each, an “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, provided that the payments are reimbursed within three years of the payment being made and the combination of the applicable Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. These arrangements may be discontinued at any time after February 28, 2006. For more information on the Expense Limitation Agreement, see “Management of the Trust — The Manager — Expense Limitation Agreement.”

 

Example of Fund Expenses

 

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Funds 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 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 following information shows how each Fund has performed in the past and gives 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 and Enterprise Capital each may add to, dismiss or replace the subadvisers in a Fund, a Fund’s historical performance may cover periods when the Fund (or 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 Class Y shares of 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 Distribution Policies and Purchase, Exchange and Redemption Procedures

 

The Funds have identical distribution procedures, purchase procedures, exchange rights and redemption procedures as discussed in the “Additional Information about the Acquiring Funds” section below.

 

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.

 

15


The principal risks of an investment in each Fund are substantially similar as each Fund seeks long-term 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.

Principal Risks:    Each Fund is subject to the following 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.

 

Portfolio 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. A Fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.

 

Subadviser Selection Risk:    The risk that AXA Equitable’s process for selecting or replacing a subadviser and its decision to select or replace a subadviser does not produce the intended result.

 

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

 

16


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 the securities of those companies because they 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 mid-capitalization companies. In addition, investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies may decline when investments in large-capitalization companies are in favor.

 

Convertible Securities Risk:     The value of convertible securities fluctuates in relation to changes in interest rates and the value of the underlying common stock.

 

The Acquiring Fund also is subject to the following risk:

 

Non-Diversification Risk:    As a non-diversified mutual fund, the Fund may focus its investments in the securities of a small number of issuers, which may make the value of its 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 RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1 TO APPROVE THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY FUND.

 

* * * * *

 

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE ENTERPRISE TOTAL RETURN FUND, A SERIES OF THE CORPORATION, INTO THE AXA ENTERPRISE MULTIMANAGER CORE BOND FUND, A SERIES OF THE TRUST.

 

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:

 

   

Following the Reorganization, the combined Fund will be managed in accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations of the AXA Bond Fund, which are similar to those of the Enterprise Total Return Fund. 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 normally is required to invest at least 80% of its net assets in such securities. Thus, the AXA Bond Fund normally is required to have a greater proportion of its assets invested in investment grade bonds and, thus, generally has a lower potential exposure to the risks of investing in bonds that are rated below investment grade. Each Fund also may invest, to a lesser extent, in high yield bonds. Each Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies and

 

18


 

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 30% of its assets. As a result, the AXA Bond Fund generally is subject to the risks of investing in such securities to a greater extent than the Enterprise Total Return Fund, including, in particular, decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar. However, 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. As a result, the ability of the AXA Bond Fund to manage its duration in response to changes in interest rates is more limited than that of the Enterprise Total Return Fund, which could limit the AXA Bond Fund’s ability to benefit from such changes. 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, portfolio turnover risk, derivatives risk, portfolio management risk and liquidity risk. The AXA Bond Fund also is subject to mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk.

 

    AXA Equitable serves as the investment manager for the AXA Bond Fund and will continue to serve as such following the Reorganization, 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, Inc. and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”). PIMCO also serves as the subadviser for the Enterprise Total Return Fund. It is expected that the subadvisers for the AXA Bond Fund will continue to serve as the subadvisers for the combined Fund following the Reorganization.

 

    You will not pay any front-end or deferred sales charge in connection with the Reorganization. However, Class B and Class C shares of the AXA Bond Fund issued in connection with the Reorganization will be subject to the same contingent deferred sales charge, if any, applicable to the corresponding shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund held by a shareholder immediately prior to the Reorganization. The period that a shareholder held shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund will be included in the holding period of the AXA Bond Fund Shares for purposes of calculating any contingent deferred sales charge. Similarly, Class B shares of the AXA Bond Fund issued to a shareholder in connection with the Reorganization will convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after the date that the corresponding Class B shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund were purchased by the shareholder. Each Fund is subject to the same sales load structure, as described in the table below in the section entitled “Comparative Fee and Expense Tables.” In addition, fund services and the procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares of the Funds are identical. Please see the “Additional Information about the Acquiring Fund” section below for more information.

 

19


    Although the management and administration fees for the AXA Bond Fund are higher than those for the Enterprise Total Return Fund, the total annual operating 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 Fund primarily due to a lower expense cap in effect for the AXA Bond Fund. Absent that arrangement, the total annual operating expense ratio for 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 expense limitation arrangements currently in place will expire on February 28, 2006 and will be considered for renewal by the Trust’s Board and AXA Equitable annually thereafter. The management fee for the AXA 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 pays an administration fee for fund accounting services equal to an annual rate of 0.035% of its average daily net assets. Under the expense limitation arrangements in effect 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 AXA Bond Fund will revise any of its policies following the Reorganization to reflect those of the Enterprise Total Return Fund. AXA Equitable and the subadvisers for the AXA Bond Fund have reviewed the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s current portfolio and determined that the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s holdings are compatible with the AXA Bond Fund’s investment objectives and policies. As a result, AXA Equitable believes that, if the Reorganization is approved, all of the Enterprise Total Return Fund’s assets could be transferred to and held by the AXA Bond Fund.

 

    The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, while the Corporation is organized as a Maryland corporation. Thus, the restructuring into a series of the Trust will cause the Enterprise Total Return Fund governance to become series of a Delaware statutory trust. There are certain differences between Maryland corporate law and Delaware statutory trust law; a Delaware statutory trust generally has greater flexibility in conducting its operations. Please see the “Reasons for the Reorganizations” and “Rights of Shareholders of the Funds” sections below for more information.

 

Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies

 

The Funds have similar investment objectives, policies and strategies, although there are some important differences of which you should be aware. The investment

 

20


objectives and the strategies and policies of each Fund are described below. The Acquiring Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Trust’s Board without a vote of the Fund’s shareholders. The Acquired Fund’s investment objective may not be changed by the Corporation’s Board 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 normally 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.
    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.

 

21


    Enterprise Total Return Fund   AXA Bond Fund
    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 tables show 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 Expense Limitation Agreements, Enterprise Capital and AXA Equitable have agreed to waive or limit their fees and to assume other expenses of their respective Funds until February 28, 2006 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 the Manager each may be reimbursed the amount of any such payments and waivers in the future, provided that the payments are reimbursed within three years of the payment or waiver being made and the combination of the applicable Fund’s expense ratio and such reimbursements do not exceed the Fund’s expense cap. These arrangements may be discontinued at any time after February 28, 2006. For more information on the Expense Limitation Agreement, see “Management of the Trust — The Manager — Expense Limitation Agreement.”.

 

Example of Fund Expenses

 

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Funds 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 currently in effect is not renewed.

 

25


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 following information shows how each Fund has performed in the past and gives 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 and Enterprise Capital each may add to, dismiss or replace the subadvisers in a Fund, a Fund’s historical performance may cover periods when the Fund (or portions of the Fund) were advised by different subadvisers. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

 

26


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 Class Y shares of 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 Distribution Policies and Purchase, Exchange and Redemption Procedures

 

The Funds have identical distribution procedures, purchase procedures, exchange rights and redemption procedures as discussed in the “Additional Information about the Acquiring Funds” section below.

 

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 similar as each Fund seeks a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing 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.

Principal Risks:    Each Fund is subject to the following 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.

 

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

 

30


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. A Fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.

 

Subadviser Selection Risk:    The risk that AXA Equitable’s process for selecting or replacing a subadviser and its decision to select or replace a subadviser does not produce the intended result.

 

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 a 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.

 

31


Portfolio Turnover Risk:    High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs to a Fund, which may result in higher fund expenses. The sale of portfolio securities may result in the recognition of capital gain or loss, which can create adverse tax results for shareholders.

 

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 the Fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

 

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:

 

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.

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 TOTAL RETURN FUND’S SHAREHOLDERS. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2 TO APPROVE THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE ENTERPRISE TOTAL RETURN FUND.

 

*  *  *  *  *

 

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH 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 thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Agreement, which is attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix B. The Reorganization Agreement provides, with respect to each Reorganization, 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 either Reorganization may be abandoned at any time prior to its consummation, before or after approval by an

 

33


Acquired Fund’s 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 combined Funds, subject to any expense limitation arrangement in effect for a Fund, and are expected to total approximately $300,000 for both Reorganizations.

 

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 the 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 the Trust’s Board to issue shares in different series and classes. In addition, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust authorizes the Trust’s Board to create new series and to name the rights and preferences of the shareholders of each of the series. The Trust’s Board does not need additional shareholder 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.

 

34


The Trust currently offers 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 classes of shares each pay an annual service fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to them. 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 the average daily net assets attributable to them. 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 Proposed Reorganizations

 

On July 8, 2004, AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”) acquired The MONY Group, Inc., the parent company of Enterprise Capital (the “MONY Merger”). 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 the 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 and its corresponding Acquiring Fund; (4) the direct or indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganizations to shareholders; (5) the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement 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.

 

35


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 or substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and risks, except for the specific differences noted above in the discussion of the proposals for the Reorganizations, and thus are likely to appeal to the same investors. In particular, management noted that the AXA Technology Fund and Enterprise Technology Fund each seek long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of their respective net assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the technology sector, and the AXA Bond Fund and the Enterprise Total Return Fund each seek a combination of capital appreciation and income by investing primarily in investment grade debt 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 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 each Acquiring Fund’s subadvisers have substantial experience in managing other similar investment vehicles.

 

Management 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 arrangement 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 reviewed the reasons described above 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 arrangement in effect for that Fund, is higher than that of the corresponding class of shares of the Enterprise Total Return Fund and reviewed the reasons described above 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 arrangement 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 noted that each Reorganization would result in an Acquired Fund’s becoming a series of a Delaware statutory trust rather than a Maryland corporation. Management then reviewed with the Board the differences between the organizational forms, noting its belief that the Delaware statutory trust form offers a number

 

36


of advantages over the Maryland corporate form and that, as a result, the Delaware statutory trust form of organization has been increasingly used by mutual funds, including the family of funds managed by AXA Equitable. In this connection, management explained that the Trust has greater flexibility to conduct business without the necessity of engaging in expensive proxy solicitations of shareholders, noting, for example, that the organizational documents of a Delaware statutory trust may be amended without shareholder approval, while Maryland corporate law generally requires shareholder approval of such amendments. In addition, unlike Maryland corporate law, which restricts the delegation of a board of directors’ functions, Delaware law permits the board of trustees of a Delaware statutory trust to delegate a greater portion of its responsibilities to duly empowered committees of the board or to appropriate officers, including responsibilities relating to declaring dividends. Management also noted that Delaware law permits the trustees to adapt a Delaware statutory trust to future contingencies. For example, the trustees may change a Delaware statutory trust’s domicile or organizational form and take certain other extraordinary actions, such as mergers, reorganizations and liquidations, without shareholder approval. In contrast, under Maryland corporate law, a company’s board of directors generally would be required to obtain shareholder approval prior to taking such actions.

 

Management then reviewed with the Board the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, noting that each Reorganization is expected to 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 the Acquired Fund involved therein to continue to invest in a fund that pursues a similar or substantially similar investment objective 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;

 

    AXA Equitable and each Acquiring Fund’s subadvisers have substantial experience in managing investment vehicles similar to the Acquired Funds;

 

   

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

 

37


 

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;

 

    The Delaware statutory trust form of organization provides more flexibility with respect to the administration of the Funds, which potentially could lead to greater efficiencies and lower expenses for shareholders of the Acquired Funds; and

 

    The Reorganizations are not expected to have adverse tax results to shareholders.

 

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

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Proposed 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 Nicholson Graham 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 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 any 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

 

38


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.

 

The Enterprise Total Return Fund accumulated no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes through the end of its most recently completed taxable year. The Enterprise Technology Fund accumulated $271,944,005 in aggregate capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes through the end of its most recently completed taxable year. The amount of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s carryforwards (plus the net capital losses for those purposes, if any, that Fund sustained during the taxable year ending on the Closing Date) that the AXA Technology Fund may utilize after the Reorganization may be limited under the Code, for any particular taxable year, to the product of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s value immediately before the Reorganization multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (i.e., the highest of the adjusted federal long-term rates in effect for any month in the three-month period ending with the month in which the Closing Date occurs), which is 4.27% for January 2005.

 

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 equal to the difference between the shareholder’s tax basis in its Acquired Fund Shares and the fair market value of the Acquiring Fund Shares it receives. 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.

 

39


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 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.
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.
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 (except certain transfers of assets by open-end investment companies); 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 about the Trust, the Manager and the subadvisers for the Acquiring Funds.

 

The Trust

 

The Trust’s Board 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 14 series, each of which has authorized Class A, Class B, Class C, Class P and Class Y 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, 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 portfolio analytics 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,

 

41


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. Shareholders will receive notice upon the appointment of a new subadviser. 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. or Boston Advisors, 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 Trust’s Board to approve the investment management agreement with AXA Equitable and the investment advisory agreements with the subadvisers is available in the Trust’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”). In addition, a description of the funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of their portfolio securities holdings is available (i) in the Trust’s SAI; 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.

 

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).

 

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

 

42


the Trust with respect to the Acquiring Funds. 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 subadvisers to each of the Acquiring Funds is located in the section of each proposal entitled “Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies and Strategies.”

 

FUND SERVICES

 

Investing in the Funds

 

The following discussion includes general information regarding procedures for investing in the Trust, including investments in the Acquiring Funds.

 

Choosing a Share

 

Each fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares to the public. The funds are not designed for market-timers, see the section entitled “Purchase and Redemption Restrictions on Market-Timers and Active Traders”. Each class has different costs associated with buying, selling and holding fund shares. Your broker or other financial professional can assist you in selecting which class of shares best meets your needs based on such factors as the size of your investment and the length of time you intend to hold your shares.

 

43


The table below summarizes the key features of each class of shares. They are described in more detail below. Information regarding the sales charges for each class of shares of the funds also is available free of charge and in a clear and prominent format at www.axaenterprise.com in the “Funds — Fund Information and Details” portion of the website.

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 fund you buy shares of. There is no sales charge on initial purchases of Class A shares of the Money Market Fund, however, if you subsequently exchange those shares for Class A shares of another fund, an initial sales charge will apply to the Class A purchase. No initial sales charge applies to Class A shares you receive through reinvestment of dividends or distributions. However, if you have received shares of the Money Market Fund through reinvestment of dividends or distributions, and you subsequently exchange those shares for Class A shares of another fund, an initial sales charge will apply to the Class A purchase.

*   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.

 

45


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. Initial purchases of Class B shares of the Money Market Fund are not subject to a CDSC unless and until the shares are exchanged into Class B shares of another fund. 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 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 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 asset 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.”)

 

46


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 gain distributions; or

 

    exchanges of shares of one 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. Initial purchases of Class C shares of the Money Market Fund are not subject to a CDSC unless and until the shares are exchanged into Class C shares of another fund. 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 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;

 

    Are an employee of AXA Financial, Inc. or its subsidiaries or an immediate family member of such employee;

 

    Are a wrap account client of an eligible broker-dealer; and

 

47


    Are a present or former trustee of the Trust or a spouse or minor child of any such trustee or any trust, IRA or retirement plan account for the benefit of any such person or relative or the estate of any such person or relative; or

 

    Are a financial institutional buyer.

 

The minimum investment amount for purchasing Class Y shares is $1,000,000.

 

Compensation to Securities Dealers

 

The 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 funds (other than the Money Market Fund), 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 a 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 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 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 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 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.

 

48


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 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.

 

Purchases and Sales of Shares of the Money Market Fund

 

Initial purchases of shares of the Money Market Fund are not subject to a sales charge. However, you will have to pay a sales charge if you exchange Class A shares of the Money Market Fund for Class A shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund, unless you’ve already paid a sales charge on those shares. In addition, if you exchange Class B or Class C shares of the Money Market Fund for Class B or Class C shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund, those shares will become subject to a CDSC.

 

When you exchange Class B shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund into Class B shares of the Money Market Fund, the holding period for purpose of determining the CDSC and conversion to Class A shares will continue to run while you hold your Class B shares of the Money Market Fund. When you exchange Class C shares of another AXA Enterprise Fund into Class C shares of the Money Market Fund, the holding period for purposes of determining the CDSC will continue to run while you hold your Class C shares of the Money Market Fund. If you choose to redeem those Money Market Fund shares, or if your account is closed because its balance falls below $500, the applicable CDSC will apply.

 

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 funds or other funds held in all accounts at any financial intermediary;

 

49


    Information or records regarding shares of the funds or other 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 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 a 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 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 a 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

 

50


 

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 SAI. 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.

 

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;

 

51


    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 a 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 fund within 180 days of redemption. Specifically, when you reinvest, the 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 fund may modify or terminate the reinstatement privilege at any time.

For more information on AXA Enterprise Funds’ investment programs, refer to the section entitled “Additional Investor Services” in the Prospectus.

 

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

 

To conform to new regulations of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, the 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 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 funds cannot complete the identification process, your investment and the application may be returned.

 

A 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. The $35 annual fee will not be deducted from accounts where the balance drops below $1500 due to market movement.

 

Each fund reserves the right to close any fund account whose balance drops to $500 or less due to redemption activity. The fund will not close an account whose balance drops below $500 due to market movement. If an account is closed, its shares will be sold at the NAV, on the day the account is closed. A shareholder will be given at least 45 days’ notice before a fund closes an account with a balance of $500 or less so that the shareholder has an opportunity to increase the account balance.

Selling Shares in Writing

 

To redeem your shares in writing, all owners of the shares must sign the redemption request in the exact names in which the shares are registered and indicate any special capacity in which they are signing. If a written request to sell is required, a letter of instruction signed by the authorized owner is necessary. In certain situations a signature guarantee or additional documentation may be required.

 

A signature guarantee is necessary if:

 

    Total redemption proceeds exceed $50,000; or

 

    A proceeds check for any amount is mailed to an address other than the address of record or not sent to the registered owner(s).

 

A signature guarantee can be obtained from one of the following sources:

 

    A financial professional or securities dealer;

 

    A federal savings bank, cooperative or other type of bank;

 

    A savings and loan or other thrift institution;

 

    A credit union;

Exchanging Shares

 

How to Exchange Fund Shares

 

Shares of each 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 fund may be legally sold. The funds may also discontinue or modify the exchange privilege on a prospective

 

59


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 funds reserve the right to suspend or change the terms of purchasing, selling or exchanging shares.

 

60


Frequent transfers or purchases and redemptions of fund shares, including market timing and other program trading or short-term trading strategies, may be disruptive to the funds. Excessive purchases and redemptions of shares of a fund may adversely affect fund performance and the interests of long-term investors by requiring it to maintain larger amounts of cash or to liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price. For example, when market timing occurs, a 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 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, disruptive transfers or purchases and redemptions of fund shares may impede efficient fund management and impose increased transaction costs, such as brokerage and tax costs, by requiring the portfolio manager to effect more frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities. Similarly, a fund may bear increased administrative costs as a result of the asset level and investment volatility that accompanies patterns of excessive or short-term trading.

 

The Trust and the funds discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by fund shareholders and will not make special arrangements to accommodate such transactions in fund shares. As a general matter, each fund and the Trust reserve the right to refuse or limit any purchases or exchange order by a particular purchaser (or group of related purchasers) if the transaction is deemed harmful to the fund’s other shareholders or would disrupt the management of the fund.

 

The Trust’s Board has adopted certain procedures to discourage what it considers to be disruptive trading activity. It should be recognized, however, that such procedures are subject to limitations:

 

    They do not eliminate the possibility that disruptive trading activity, including market timing, will occur or the fund performance will be affected by such activity.

 

    The design of such procedures involves inherently subjective judgments, which AXA Equitable, on behalf of the Trust, seeks to make in a fair and reasonable manner consistent with the interests of all shareholders.

 

If AXA Equitable, on behalf of the Trust, determines that a shareholder’s transfer or purchase and redemption patterns among the Trust’s funds are disruptive to the Trust’s funds, it may, among other things, refuse or limit any purchase or exchange order. AXA Equitable may also refuse to act on transfer or purchase instructions of an agent acting under a power of attorney who is acting on behalf of more than one owner. In making these determinations, AXA Equitable may consider the combined transfer or purchase and redemption activity of shareholders that it believes are under common ownership, control or direction. AXA Equitable currently may consider transfers into and out of (or vice versa) a fund in less than two-week intervals or exchanges of shares held for less than seven days as potentially disruptive transfer activity.

 

61


In addition, when a shareholder redeems or exchanges shares of a fund (excluding redemptions or exchanges from the Money Market Fund and redemptions made through a systematic withdrawal plan) which have been held for one month or less, the Trust will assess and retain for the benefit of the remaining shareholders, a short-term trading fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares being redeemed or exchanged. If the short-term trading fee is $50 or less, it may not be assessed on a redemption or exchange; however, during the 30-day period following a purchase or exchange, the fund reserves the right to collect short-term trading fees relating to a series of transactions by a shareholder if, in the aggregate, the fee total more than $50. The funds will use the “first in, first out” method to determine the shareholder’s holding period. Under this method, the date of redemption or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the shareholder’s account. The funds reserve the right to modify or discontinue the short-term trading fee at any time or from time to time.

 

Consistent with seeking to discourage potentially disruptive trading activity, AXA Equitable may also, in its sole discretion and without further notice, change what it considers potentially disruptive transfer or purchase and redemption of fund shares and its monitoring procedures and thresholds, change the amount of its short-term trading fee, as well as change its procedures to restrict this activity.

 

Selling Restrictions

 

The table below describes restrictions in place on selling shares of any fund described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

 

Restriction


 

Situation


The fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone payment for more than 7 days:  

•        When the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than a weekend/holiday).

   

•        During an emergency.

 

•        Any other period permitted by the SEC.

Each fund reserves the right to suspend account services or refuse transaction requests:  

•        With a notice of dispute between registered owners.

 

•        With suspicion/evidence of a fraudulent act.

A 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.

A 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.

 

62


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 Trust’s 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 fund or its 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.

 

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, portfolio 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.

 

    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.

 

63


 

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. Foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollar equivalent daily at current exchange rates. Because foreign securities sometimes trade on days when a fund’s shares are not priced, the value of a fund’s investments that includes such securities may change on days when shares of the fund cannot be purchased or redeemed.

 

    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 valued under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

 

Events or circumstances affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the closing of their principal markets and the time the net asset value 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 Trust’s Board believes reflects fair value. This policy is intended to assure that a 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 distributes 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 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 Fund; or

 

    Receive all distributions in cash.

 

64


Unless you indicate otherwise, distributions will automatically be reinvested in shares of the same class of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value. Your current dividend distribution election will remain the same after the Reorganizations.

 

For more information or to change your distribution option, contact AXA Enterprise Funds in writing, contact your broker or call 1-800-368-3527.

 

Tax Consequences

 

Each Acquiring Fund intends to meet all requirements of the Code necessary to continue 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 gain 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 most 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 through its last taxable year beginning before January 1, 2009.

 

An exchange of shares for shares of another AXA Enterprise 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 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 a 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.

APPENDIX B

 

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND TERMINATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this 14th day of February, 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)(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

 

B-1


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

 

B-2


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.

 

B-3


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 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

 

B-16


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 Acquiring Funds. 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 materi -

 

B-17


als, legal fees, accounting fees, securities registration fees, and expenses of holding shareholders meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses shall be paid by the party 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 July 29, 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.

 

B-18


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, 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 February 14, 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. AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”), the Trust’s investment manager, and the subadvisers for each Acquiring Fund have reviewed the corresponding Acquired Fund’s current portfolio and determined that each Acquired Fund’s holdings are compatible with the corresponding Acquiring Fund’s investment objective and policies. As a result, AXA Equitable believes that, if the Reorganizations are approved, all of each Acquired Fund’s assets could be transferred to and held by the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

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 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 the assets of the Enterprise Technology Fund (“Technology Fund”) to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Technology Fund, formerly known as AXA Premier Technology Fund, (“AXA Technology Fund”) (the “Funds”) and assumption by the AXA Technology Fund of all the stated liabilities of the Technology Fund in exchange for shares of the 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’s 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 March 31, 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 AXA Technology Fund 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 AXA 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.

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 Funds:

 

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. The Enterprise Technology Fund accumulated $271,944,005 in aggregate capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes through the end of its most recently completed taxable year. The amount of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s carryforwards (plus the net capital losses for those purposes, if any, that Fund sustained during the taxable year ending on the closing date of the Reorganization) that the AXA Technology Fund may utilize after the Reorganization may be limited under the Code, for any particular taxable year, to the product of the Enterprise Technology Fund’s value immediately before the Reorganization multiplied by the “long-term tax-exempt rate” (i.e., the highest of the adjusted federal long-term rates in effect for any month in the three-month period ending with the month in which the closing date occurs). 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions:

 

Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed at least annually. 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


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 is substantially identical 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 shares of beneficial interest retired for each class in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Technology Fund by the AXA Technology Fund as of October 31, 2004. The number of shares retired was calculated by dividing the net asset value per share of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y of the Technology Fund by the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of the AXA Technology Fund. The number of retired shares were as follows:

 

Class

   A    140,702

Class

   B    218,516

Class

   C    60,156

Class

   Y    1,378

 

Accordingly, the resulting Pro Forma AXA Technology Fund shares outstanding are as follows:

 

Class

   A    3,170,426

Class

   B    4,141,969

Class

   C    1,114,505

Class

   Y    679,278

 

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the AXA Technology Fund’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 $100,000. 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 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 Fund (“Total Return Fund”) to the AXA Enterprise Multimanager Core Bond Fund, formerly known as AXA Premier Core Bond Fund, (“AXA Bond Fund”) and assumption by the AXA Bond Fund of all of the stated liabilities of the Total Return Fund in exchange for shares of the AXA Bond Fund 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 Bond Fund’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 Bond Fund 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 March 31, 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 Bond Fund at October 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations reflects the results of operations of the Total Return Fund and the AXA Bond 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 daily net asset value at the dates indicated above for the Total Return Fund and the AXA Bond 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 AXA Bond Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated.

 

The AXA Bond 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 in the AXA Bond Fund.

 

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

 

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

 

27


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

 

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 Funds:

 

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.

 

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 Fund’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 Statement 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. The Enterprise Total Return Fund accumulated no capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes through the end of its most recently completed taxable year. 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions:

 

Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed at least annually. 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.

NOTE 3 – SHARES:

 

Each of the Total Return Fund and the AXA Bond Fund offer Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class of shares of the Total Return Fund is substantially identical to the corresponding class of shares of the AXA Bond Fund. The AXA 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 AXA Bond Fund as of October 31, 2004. The number of additional shares issued was calculated by dividing the net asset value per share of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y of the Total Return Fund by the net asset value per share of the corresponding class of the AXA Bond Fund. The number of additional shares issued were as follows:

 

Class

   A    124,263

Class

   B    92,189

Class

   C    70,160

Class

   Y    6,743

 

Accordingly, the resulting Pro Forma AXA Bond Fund shares outstanding are as follows:

 

Class

   A    4,078,683

Class

   B    3,305,777

Class

   C    2,032,714

Class

   Y    2,764,328

 

NOTE 4 – UNAUDITED PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect changes in the AXA Bond Fund 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 $200,000. The pro forma adjustments include expense adjustments due to the annualization of certain items in the statement of operations.
