For each Fund’s Prospectus other than the Bernstein Funds, SCB Funds, SCB II and Government Money Market Prospectuses, the disclosure below is added after the first paragraph under “Additional Information About the [Fund’s/Funds’/Portfolios’] Risks and Investments”. For the Bernstein Funds, SCB Funds, and SCB II Prospectuses, the disclosure below is added after the first paragraph under “Additional Investment Information, Special Investment Techniques and Related Risks”.

Market Risk

The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the probabilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Conditions affecting the general economy, including political, social, or economic instability at the local, regional, or global level may also affect the market value of a security. Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, and the public response to or fear of such diseases or events, have and may in the future have an adverse effect on a Fund’s investments and net asset value and can lead to increased market volatility.  For example, any preventative or protective actions that governments may take in respect of such diseases or events may result in periods of business disruption, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for a Fund’s portfolio companies.  The occurrence and pendency of such diseases or events could adversely affect the economies and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.

 

For Government Money Market, the following disclosure is added to the Fund’s Prospectus:

 

MONEY Market FUND Risk

The Fund’s yield will change based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the probabilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Conditions affecting the general economy, including political, social, or economic instability at the local, regional, or global level may also affect the market value of a security. Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, and the public response to or fear of such diseases or events, have and may in the future have an adverse effect on the Fund’s investments and net asset value and can lead to increased market volatility.  The occurrence and pendency of such crises or incidents could adversely affect the economies and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.
