Re: AllianceBernstein Variable Products Series Fund, Inc.
- AllianceBernstein Dynamic Asset Allocation Portfolio
Post-Effective Amendment No. 53
File Nos. 33-18647 and 811-5398
Dear Ms. White:
This letter responds to comments of the staff (the "Staff") of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to the post-effective amendments
to the registration statement filed on Form N-1A of AllianceBernstein Variable
Products Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") on behalf of its series,
AllianceBernstein Dynamic Asset Allocation Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), as
provided orally to Young Seo of this office on March 31, 2011. The Staff's
comments and our responses are discussed below.
Prospectus
----------
Comment: Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio: The footnote to the Annual
Portfolio Operating Expenses table has too much information. As
required by Form N-1A, the footnote should not have more than the
discussion of the description of the waiver and how the waiver may
be ended. The disclosure regarding how the expenses may be
reimbursed to the Adviser should be relocated. Please disclose how
many years the Adviser may be reimbursed. If it is for more than
three years, a justification should be provided in writing as to why
that is reasonable.
Response: The footnote disclosure is similar to disclosure in various
AllianceBernstein prospectuses that have been reviewed by the Staff
and we are not revising the disclosure in response to this comment.
We confirm that the reimbursement to the Adviser is for no more than
three years.
* * *
We hereby acknowledge that (i) the Portfolio is responsible for the
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the filing; (ii) Staff comments or
changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments in the filing reviewed by
the Staff do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to the
filing; and (iii) the Portfolio may not assert Staff comments as a defense in
any proceedings initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities
laws of the United States.
If you have any additional comments or questions, please contact Kathleen
Clarke or the undersigned at (202) 737-8833.
Sincerely,
/s/Young Seo
