SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 10, 2023 TO THE SUMMARY PROSPECTUS AND PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2023, AS SUPPLEMENTED
This Supplement updates certain information contained in the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus dated May 1, 2023, as supplemented, of EQ Premier VIP Trust (“Trust”). You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus and retain it for future reference. You may obtain this document, free of charge, by writing to the Trust at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10104, or you can view, print, and download the document at the Trust’s website at www.equitable-funds.com.
The section of the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus entitled “INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE — Principal Risks” is amended by deleting the risk factor entitled “Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk” in its entirety and replacing it with the following risk factor:
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk Declines in the credit quality of and defaults by the issuers of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities or instability in the markets for such securities may decrease the value of such securities, which could result in losses to the Portfolio, and may reduce the liquidity of such securities and make such securities more difficult to purchase or sell at an advantageous time and price. In addition, borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities. The risk of defaults by borrowers generally is greater during times of rising interest rates and/or unemployment rates. The impairment (or loss) of the value of collateral or other assets underlying mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities will result in a reduction in the value of the securities. Certain collateral may be difficult to locate in the event of default, or may be lost, and recoveries of depreciated or damaged collateral may not fully cover payments due on such collateral. Asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral comparable to that of mortgage assets, resulting in additional credit risk.
Furthermore, mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities typically provide the issuer with the right to prepay the security prior to maturity. During periods of rising interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to decrease because borrowers are less likely to prepay debt (such as mortgage debt or automobile loans). Slower than expected payments can extend the average lives of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, and this may “lock in” a below market interest rate and increase the security’s duration and interest rate sensitivity, which may increase the volatility of the security’s value and may lead to losses. During periods of falling interest rates, the rate of prepayments tends to increase because borrowers are more likely to pay off debt and refinance at the lower interest rates then available. Unscheduled prepayments shorten the average lives of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities and may result in the Portfolio’s having to reinvest the proceeds of the prepayments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Portfolio’s income.
