*****

Information regarding “Market Risk” in the section of the Prospectus entitled “More About Investment Strategies & Risks – General Risks of the AXA Allocation Portfolios and the Underlying Portfolios” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following information:

Market Risk. The risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably based on overall economic conditions and other factors. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact a market as a whole. In addition, markets and market-participants are increasingly reliant upon both publicly available and proprietary information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at-large. In certain cases, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securities or even the entire market, which may result in a Portfolio being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or accurately price its investments.
