*****

On June 13, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”) approved a change of the Portfolio’s benchmark indexes from the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI EAFE Index to the Barclays Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Index. In addition, on that date, the Board approved an additional benchmark created by the Portfolio’s manager, AXA Equitable Funds Management Group, LLC (“FMG LLC” or the “Manager”), to show how the Portfolio’s performance compares with the return of a blended index that more closely reflects the returns of asset classes in which the Portfolio invests.

*****

The following information is added to the section entitled “Investments, Risks, and Performance – The Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio” of the Prospectus:

 

   

Custom Benchmark Risk – Portions of a benchmark against which the Portfolio’s performance is measured, the Volatility Managed Index – International (“VMI-International”), Volatility Managed Index – Mid Cap Core (“VMI-MCC”), Volatility Managed Index – Large Cap Core (“VMI-LCC”) and Volatility Managed Index – Small Cap Core (“VMI-SCC”), were created by the Manager to show how the Portfolio’s performance compares with the returns of a volatility managed index. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will outperform these benchmarks.

The first sentence under the section entitled “Investments, Risks, and Performance – Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following information:

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the past one and five years and since inception through December 31, 2011 for the bar chart and through June 30, 2012 for the table compare to the returns of a broad-based market index.


The second paragraph under the section entitled “Investments, Risks, and Performance – Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following information:

The Class K shares commenced operations on August 29, 2012. The performance information shown in the table below for the Class K shares is the performance information of the Class A shares, which reflects the effect of 12b-1 fees paid by Class A shares. Class K shares do not pay 12b-1 fees.

+ Effective as of June 30, 2012, the Portfolio changed two of its broad-based benchmarks from the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the MSCI EAFE Index to the Barclays Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Index. The Portfolio changed its benchmark because the investment manager believes the new benchmark represents a better comparison against which to measure the Portfolio’s performance.
