      1.    If the Insured shall, while this bond is in force, establish any
            additional office or offices, such office or offices shall be
            automatically covered hereunder from the dates of their
            establishment, respectively. No notice to the Underwriter of an
            increase during any premium period in the number of offices or in
            the number of Employees at any of the offices covered hereunder need
            be given and no additional premium need be paid for the remainder of
            such premium period.

      2.    If an Investment Company, named as Insured herein, shall, while this
            bond is in force, merge or consolidate with, or purchase the assets
            of another institution, coverage for such acquisition shall apply
            automatically from the date of acquisition. The Insured shall notify
            the Underwriter of such acquisition within 60 days of said date, and
            an additional premium shall be computed only if such acquisition
            involves additional offices or employees.

B.    WARRANTY

      No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the
application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a warranty of anything except
that it is true to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person making the
statement.

C.    COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES (Applicable to all Insuring Agreements or
      Coverages now or hereafter forming part of this bond)

      The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense, whether
or not successful, whether or not fully litigated on the merits and whether or
not settled of any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to
enforce the Insured's liability or alleged liability on account of any loss,
claim or damage which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a
loss sustained by the Insured covered under the terms of this bond provided,
however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement (A) this indemnity shall apply
only in the event that

      (1)   an Employee admits to being guilty of any dishonest or fraudulent
            act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement; or
      (2)   an Employee is adjudicated to be guilty of any dishonest or
            fraudulent act(s), including Larceny or Embezzlement;
      (3)   in the absence of (1) or (2) above an arbitration panel agrees,
            after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an Employee
            would be found guilty of dishonesty if such Employee were
            prosecuted.

      The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such suit
or legal proceeding and at the request of the Underwriter shall furnish it with
copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter's election
the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense of such suit or
legal proceeding, in the Insured's name, through attorneys of the Underwriter's
selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all reasonable information and
assistance which the Underwriter shall deem necessary to the proper defense of
such suit or legal proceeding.

      If the amount of the Insured's liability or alleged liability is greater
than the amount recoverable under this bond, or if a Deductible Amount is
applicable, or both, the liability of the Underwriter under this General
Agreement is limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys' fees
incurred and paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount
recoverable under this bond bears to the total of such amount plus the amount
which is not so recoverable. Such indemnity shall be in addition to the Limit of
Liability for the applicable Insuring Agreement or Coverage.

D.    FORMER EMPLOYEE

      Acts of an Employee, as defined in this bond, are covered under Insuring
Agreement (A) only while the Employee is in the Insured's employ. Should loss
involving a former Employee of the Insured be discovered subsequent to the
termination of employment, coverage would still apply under Insuring Agreement
(A) if the direct proximate cause of the loss occurred while the former Employee
performed duties within the scope of his/her employment.

                     GENERAL AGREEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE

SECTION 3. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

     This bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Employers of temporary
personnel or of processors as set forth in sub-sections (6) and (7) of Section
1(a) of this bond, as aforesaid, and upon payment to the Insured by the
Underwriter on account of any loss through dishonest or fraudulent act(s)
including Larceny or Embezzlement committed by any of the partners, officers or
employees of such Employers, whether acting alone or in collusion with others,
an assignment of such of the Insured's rights and causes of action as it may
have against such Employers by reason of such acts so committed shall, to the
extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the
Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the
rights herein provided for.

SECTION 4. LOSS-NOTICE-PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the
Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss
sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole
discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured's proof of
loss. At the earliest practicable moment after discovery of any loss hereunder
the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and shall also
within six months after such discovery furnish to the Underwriter affirmative
proof of loss with full particulars. If claim is made under this bond for loss
of securities or shares, the Underwriter shall not be liable unless each of such
securities or shares is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or
bond number or, where such securities or shares are uncertificated, by such
identification means as agreed to by the Underwriter. The Underwriter shall have
thirty days after notice and proof of loss within which to investigate the
claim, but where the loss is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made
within forty-eight hours; and this shall apply notwithstanding the loss is made
up wholly or in part of securities of which duplicates may be obtained. Legal
proceedings for recovery of any loss hereunder shall not be brought prior to the
expiration of sixty days after such proof of loss is filed with the Underwriter
nor after the expiration of twenty-four months from the discovery of such loss,
except that any action or proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any
judgment against the Insured in any suit mentioned in General Agreement C or to
recover attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, shall be begun within twenty-four
months from the date upon which the judgment in such suit shall become final. If
any limitation embodied in this bond is prohibited by any law controlling the
construction hereof, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to be
equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.

      Discovery occurs when the Insured

      (a)   becomes aware of facts, or
      (b)   receives written notice of an actual or potential claim by a third
            party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstance

which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the bond
has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may
not be then known.

SECTION 5. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

      The value of any Property, except books of accounts or other records used
by the Insured in the conduct of its business, for the loss of which a claim
shall be made hereunder, shall be determined by the average market value of such
Property on the business day next preceding the discovery of such loss;
provided, however, that the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior
to the payment of claim therefor shall be the actual market value at the time of
replacement; and further provided that in case of a loss or misplacement of
interim certificates, warrants, rights, or other securities, the production
which is necessary to the exercise of subscription, conversion, redemption or
deposit privileges, the value thereof shall be the market value of such
privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if said loss or
misplacement is not discovered until after their expiration. If no market price
is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by
agreement between the parties or by arbitration.

      In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts
or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the
Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are
actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank
pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or
copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to
reproduce such books and other records.

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS

      In case of damage to any office of the Insured, or loss of or damage to
the furnishings, fixtures, stationery, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults
therein, the Underwriter shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value
thereof, or for more than the actual cost of their replacement or repair. The
Underwriter may, at its election, pay replacement or repair, such shall be
determined by arbitration.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

      If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which
is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the
liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of,
securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations
of this bond.

      If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of
securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the
Insured's rights, title and interests in and to said securities.

      With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible
Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter
may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a
Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will
pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter
against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the
issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.

      With respect to securities the value of which exceeds the Deductible
Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may
issue or arrange for the issuance of a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect
replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that it will pay as premium therefor a
proportion of the usual premium charged therefor, said proportion being equal to
the percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities
upon discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost
Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable
from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this INVESTMENT COMPANY
BLANKET BOND subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder.

SECTION 8. SALVAGE

      In case of recovery, whether made by the Insured or by the Underwriter, on
account of any loss in excess of the Limit of Liability hereunder plus the
Deductible Amount applicable to such net amount of such recovery, less the
actual costs and expenses of making same, shall be applied to reimburse the
Insured in full for the excess portion of such loss, and the remainder, if any,
shall be paid first in reimbursement of the Underwriter and thereafter in
reimbursement of the Insured for that part of such loss within the Deductible
Amount. The Insured shall execute all necessary papers to secure to the
Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY

      At all times prior to termination hereof this bond shall continue in force
for the limit stated in the applicable sections of Item 3 of the Declarations of
this bond notwithstanding any previous loss for which the Underwriter may have
paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED, however, that regardless of the
number of years this bond shall continue in force and the number of premiums
which shall be payable or paid, the liability of the Underwriter under this bond
with respect to all loss resulting from

      (a)   any one act of burglary, robbery or holdup, or attempt thereat, in
            which no Partner or Employee is concerned or implicated shall be
            deemed to be one loss, or
      (b)   any one unintentional or negligent act on the part of any one person
            resulting in damage to or destruction or misplacement of Property,
            shall be deemed to be one loss, or
      (c)   all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of any
            one person shall be deemed to be one loss, or
      (d)   all wrongful acts, other than those specified in (a) above, of one
            or more persons (which dishonest act(s) or act(s) of Larceny or
            Embezzlement include, but are not limited to, the failure of an
            Employee to report such acts of others) whose dishonest act or acts
            intentionally or unintentionally, knowingly or unknowingly, directly
            or indirectly, aid or aids in any way, or permits the continuation
            of, the dishonest act or acts of any other person or persons shall
            be deemed to be one loss with the act or acts of the persons aided,
            or
      (e)   any one casualty or event other than those specified in (a), (b),
            (c) or (d) preceding, shall be deemed to be one loss, and

shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability stated in Item 3 of the
Declarations of this bond irrespective of the total amount of such loss or
losses and shall not be cumulative in amounts from year to year or from period
to period.

      Sub-section (c) is not applicable to any situation to which the language
of sub-section (d) applies.

SECTION 10. LIMIT OF LIABILITY

      With respect to any loss set forth in the PROVIDED clause of Section 9 of
this bond which is recoverable or recovered in whole or in part under any other
bonds or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor
in interest of the Insured and terminated or cancelled or allowed to expire and
in which the period for discovery has not expired at the time any such loss
thereunder is discovered, the total liability of the Underwriter under this bond
and under other bonds or policies shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount
carried hereunder on such loss or the amount available to the Insured under such
other bonds or policies, as limited by the terms and conditions thereof, for any
such loss if the latter amount be the larger.

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

      If the Insured shall hold, as indemnity against any loss covered
hereunder, any valid and enforceable insurance or suretyship, the Underwriter
shall be liable hereunder only for such amount of such loss which is in excess
of the amount of such other insurance or suretyship, not exceeding, however, the
Limit of Liability of this bond applicable to such loss.

SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE

      The Underwriter shall not be liable under any of the Insuring Agreements
of this bond on account of loss as specified, respectively, in sub- sections
(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 9, NON-REDUCTION AND NON- ACCUMULATION OF
LIABILITY AND reimbursement and/or recovery obtained or made by the Insured,
other than from any bond or policy of insurance issued by an insurance company
and covering such loss, or by the Underwriter on account thereof prior to
payment by the Underwriter of such loss, shall exceed the Deductible Amount set
forth in Item 3 of the Declarations hereof (herein called Deductible Amount) and
then for such excess only, but in no event for more than the applicable Limit of
Liability stated in Item 3 of the Declarations.

      The Insured will bear, in addition to the Deductible Amount, premiums on
Lost Instrument Bonds as set forth in Section 7.

      There shall be no deductible applicable to any loss under Insuring
Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as Insured herein.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

      The Underwriter may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing
written notice specifying the termination date which cannot be prior to 60 days
after the receipt of such written notice by each Investment Company named as
Insured and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. The Insured
may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing written notice to the
Underwriter. When the Insured cancels, the Insured shall furnish written notice
to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington. D.C. prior to 60 days
before the effective date of the termination. The Underwriter shall notify all
other Investment Companies named as Insured of the receipt of such termination
notice and the termination cannot be effective prior to 60 days after receipt of
written notice by all other Investment Companies. Premiums are earned until the
termination date as set forth herein.

      This Bond will terminate as to any one Insured immediately upon taking
over of such Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal
officials, or immediately upon the filing of a petition under any State or
Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or
assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured. or immediately upon such
Insured ceasing to exist, whether through merger into another entity, or by
disposition of all of its assets.

      The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates
in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if terminated by
the Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

      This Bond shall terminate

      (a)   as to any Employee as soon as any partner, officer or supervisory
            Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee,
            shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny
            or Embezzlement on the part of such Employee without prejudice to
            the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such
            Employee (See Section 16[d]), or
      (b)   as to any Employee 60 days after receipt by each Insured and by the
            Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the
            Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such
            Employee, or
      (c)   as to any person, who is a partner, officer or employee of any
            Electronic Data Processor covered under this bond, from and after
            the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in
            collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that
            such person has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s),
            including Larceny or Embezzlement in the service of the Insured or
            otherwise, whether such act be committed before or after the time
            this bond is effective.

SECTION 14.  RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION

      At any time prior to the termination or cancellation of this bond as an
entirety, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, the Insured may give to the
Underwriter notice that it desires under this bond an additional period of 12
months within which to discover loss sustained by the Insured prior to the
effective date of such termination or cancellation and shall pay an additional
premium therefor.

      Upon receipt of such notice from the Insured, the Underwriter shall give
its written consent thereto; provided, however, that such additional period of
time shall terminate immediately;

      (a)   on the effective date of any other insurance obtained by the
            Insured, its successor in business or any other party, replacing in
            whole or in part the insurance afforded by this bond, whether or not
            such other insurance provides coverage for loss sustained prior to
            its effective date, or

      (b)   upon takeover of the Insured's business by any State or Federal
            official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, acting or
            appointed for this purpose

without the necessity of the Underwriter giving notice of such termination. In
the event that such additional period of time is terminated, as provided above,
the Underwriter shall refund any unearned premium.

      The right to purchase such additional period for the discovery of loss may
not be exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver
or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured's business for the
operation or for the liquidation thereof or for any other purpose.

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

      Securities included in the systems for the central handling of securities
established and maintained by Depository Trust Company, Midwest Depository Trust
Company, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company, and Philadelphia
Depository Trust Company, hereinafter called Corporations, to the extent of the
Insured's interest therein as effective by the making of appropriate entries on
the books and records of such Corporations shall be deemed to be Property.

      The words "Employee" and "Employees" shall be deemed to include the
officers, partners, clerks and other employees of the New York Stock Exchange,
Boston Stock Exchange, Midwest Stock Exchange, Pacific Stock Ex- change and
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, hereinafter called Exchanges, and of the above
named Corporations, and of any nominee in whose name is registered any security
included within the systems for the central handling of securities established
and maintained by such Corporations, and any employee of any recognized service
company, while such officers, partners, clerks and other employees and employees
of service companies perform services for such Corporations in the operation of
such systems. For the purpose of the above definition a recognized service
company shall be any company providing clerks or other personnel to said
Exchanges or Corporation on a contract basis.

      The Underwriter shall not be liable on account of any loss(es) in
connection with the central handling of securities within the systems
established and maintained by such Corporations, unless such loss(es) shall be
in excess of the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of
insurance indemnifying such Corporations, against such loss(es), and then the
Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for the Insured's share of such
excess loss(es), but in no event for more than the Limit of Liability applicable
hereunder.

      For the purpose of determining the Insured's share of excess loss(es) it
shall be deemed that the Insured has an interest in any certificate representing
any security included within such systems equivalent to the interest the Insured
then has in all certificates representing the same security included within such
systems and that such Corporations shall use their best judgement in
apportioning the amount(s) recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy of
insurance indemnifying such Corporations against such loss(es) in connection
with the central handling of securities within such systems among all those
having an interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records
of such Corporations in Property involved in such loss(es) on the basis that
each such interest shall share in the amount(s) so recoverable or recovered in
the ratio that the value of each such interest bears to the total value of all
such interests and that the Insured's share of such excess loss(es) shall be the
amount of the Insured's interest in such Property in excess of the amount(s) so
apportioned to the Insured by such Corporations.

      This bond does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or
Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included
within the systems for the central handling of securities established and
maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the Insured by the
Underwriter on account of any loss(es) within the systems, an assignment of such
of the Insured's rights and causes of action as it may have against such
Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be given by the
Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary
to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

      If more than one corporation, co-partnership or person or any combination
of them be included as the Insured herein:

      (a)   the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for loss or losses
            sustained by any one or more or all of them shall not exceed the
            limit for which the Underwriter would be liable hereunder if all
            such loss were sustained by any one of them,
      (b)   the one first named herein shall be deemed authorized to make,
            adjust and receive and enforce payment of all claims hereunder and
            shall be deemed to be the agent of the others for such purposes and
            for the giving or receiving of any notice required or permitted to
            be given by the terms hereof, provided that the Underwriter shall
            furnish each named Investment Company with a copy of the bond and
            with any amendment thereto, together with a copy of each formal
            filing of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution
            of such settlement,
      (c)   the Underwriter shall not be responsible for the proper application
            of any payment made hereunder to said first named Insured,
      (d)   knowledge possessed or discovery made by any partner, officer or
            supervisory Employee of any Insured shall for the purposes of
            Section 4 and Section 13 of this bond constitute knowledge or
            discovery by all the Insured, and
      (e)   if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under
            this bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be
            considered as the first named Insured for the purposes of this bond.

SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Upon the Insured's obtaining knowledge of a transfer of its outstanding
voting securities which results in a change in control (as set forth in Section
2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Insured, the Insured
shall within thirty (30) days of such knowledge give written notice to the
Underwriter setting forth:

      (a)   the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the
            beneficial owners if the voting securities are requested in another
            name), and
      (b)   the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and
            the transferees (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before
            and after the transfer, and
      (c)   the total number of outstanding voting securities.

      As used in this section, control means the power to exercise a controlling
influence over the management or policies of the Insured.

      Failure to give the required notice shall result in termination of
coverage of this bond, effective upon the date of stock transfer for any loss in
which any transferee is concerned or implicated.

      Such notice is not required to be given in the case of an Insured which is
an Investment Company.

SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

      This bond or any instrument amending or effecting same may not be changed
or modified orally. No changes in or modification thereof shall be effective
unless made by written endorsement issued to form a part hereof over the
signature of the Underwriter's Authorized Representative. When a bond covers
only one Investment Company no change or modification which would adversely
affect the rights of the Investment Company shall be effective prior to 60 days
after written notification has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Washington, D.C. by the Insured or by the Underwriter. If more than
one Investment Company is named as the Insured herein, the Underwriter shall
give written notice to each Investment Company and to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. not less than 60 days prior to the
effective date of any change or modification which would adversely affect the
rights of such Investment Company.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this bond to be executed on
the Declarations Page.



                                 ENDORSEMENT# 1


This endorsement, effective 12:01 am May 15, 2013 forms a part of
policy number 02-420-37-51
issued to AllianceBernstein Complex of Registered Investment Companies
by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.

                            NEW YORK STATUTORY RIDER

It is agreed that:

1.    Part (a) of the Section entitled "Termination or Cancelation" of this
      bond/policy is deleted.

2.    Cancelation of this bond/policy by the Underwriter/Company is subject to
      the following provisions:

      If the bond/policy has been in effect for 60 days or less, it may be
      cancelled by the Underwriter/Company for any reason. Such cancelation
      shall be effective 20 days after the Underwriter/Company mails a notice of
      cancelation to the first-named insured at the mailing address shown in the
      bond/policy. However, if the bond/policy has been in effect for more than
      60 days or is a renewal, then cancelation must be based on one of the
      following grounds:

      (A)   non-payment of premium;

      (B)   conviction of a crime arising out of acts increasing the hazard
            insured against;

      (C)   discovery of fraud or material misrepresentation in the obtaining of
            the bond/policy or in the presentation of claim thereunder;

      (D)   after issuance of the bond/policy or after the last renewal date,
            discovery of an act or omission, or a violation of any bond/policy
            condition that substantially and materially increases the hazard
            insured against, and which occurred subsequent to inception of the
            current bond/policy period;

      (E)   material change in the nature or extent of the risk, occurring after
            issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of the bond/policy,
            which causes the risk of loss to be substantially and materially
            increased beyond that contemplated at the time the bond/policy was
            issued or last renewed;

      (F)   the cancelation is required pursuant to a determination by the
            superintendent that continuation of the present premium volume of
            the insurer would jeopardize that insurer's solvency or be hazardous
            to the interests of the insureds, the insurer's creditors or the
            public;

      (G)   a determination by the superintendent that the continuation of the
            bond/policy would violate, or would place the insurer in violation
            of, any provision of the New York State insurance laws.

      (H)   where the insurer has reason to believe, in good faith and with
            sufficient cause, that there is a possible risk or danger that the
            insured property will be destroyed by the insured for the purpose of
            collecting the insurance proceeds, provided, however, that:

            (i)   a notice of cancelation on this ground shall inform the
                  insured in plain language that the insured must act within ten
                  days if review by the Insurance Department of the State of New
                  York of the ground for cancelation is desired, and

            (ii)  notice of cancelation on this ground shall be provided
                  simultaneously by the insurer to the Insurance Department of
                  the State of New York. Cancelation based on one of the above
                  grounds shall be effective 15 days after the notice of
                  cancellation is mailed or delivered to the named insured, at
                  the address shown on the bond/policy, and to its authorized
                  agent or broker.

3.    If the Underwriter/Company elects not to replace a bond/policy at the
      termination of the bond/policy period, it shall notify the insured not
      more than 120 days nor less than 60 days before termination. If such
      notice is given late, the bond/policy shall continue in effect for 60 days
      after such notice is given. The Aggregate Limit of Liability shall not be
      increased or reinstated. The notice not to replace shall be mailed to the
      insured and its broker or agent.

4.    If the Underwriter/Company elects to replace the bond/policy, but with a
      change of limits, reduced coverage, increased deductible, additional
      exclusion, or upon increased premiums in excess of ten percent (exclusive
      of any premium increase as a result of experience rating), the Underwriter
      must mail written notice to the insured and its agent or broker not more
      than 120 days nor less than 60 days before replacement. If such notice is
      given late, the replacement bond/policy shall be in effect with the same
      terms, conditions and rates as the terminated bond/policy for 60 days
      after such notice is given.

5.    The Underwriter/Company may elect to simply notify the insured that the
      bond/policy will either be not renewed or renewed with different terms,
      conditions or rates. In this event, the Underwriter/Company will inform
      the insured that a second notice will be sent at a later date specifying
      the Underwriter's/Company's exact intention. The Underwriter shall inform
      the insured that, in the meantime, coverage shall continue on the same
      terms, conditions and rates as the expiring bond/policy until the
      expiration date of the bond/policy or 60 days after the second notice is
      mailed or delivered, whichever is later.

                    AMENDED INSURING AGREEMENT (A) FIDELITY

It is agreed that:

1.    Insuring Agreement (A) FIDELITY is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
      following is substituted therefor:

      (A)   Loss resulting directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts, including
            Larceny and Embezzlement, committed by an Employee anywhere and
            whether committed alone or in collusion with others, including loss
            of Property resulting from such acts of an Employee, which Property
            is held by the Insured for any purpose or in any capacity and
            whether so held gratuitously or not and whether or not the Insured
            is liable therefor.

            Such dishonest or fraudulent acts must be committed by the Employee
            with the manifest intent:

            (a)   to cause the Insured to sustain such loss; or
            (b)   to obtain financial benefit for the Employee, or for any other
                  person or organization intended by the Employee to receive
                  such benefit.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is agreed that with
            regard to Loans and/or Trading, this bond covers only loss resulting
            directly from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by an Employee
            with the intent to cause the Insured to sustain such loss and which
            results in a financial benefit for the Employee.

            The term "Loans" as used in this Insuring Agreement shall be deemed
            to mean all extensions of credit by the Insured and all transactions
            creating a creditor relationship in favor of the Insured and all
            transactions by which the Insured assumes an existing creditor
            relationship.

            The term "Trading" as used in this Insuring Agreement shall be
            deemed to mean trading or other dealings in securities, commodities,
            futures, options, swaps, foreign or Federal Funds, currencies,
            foreign exchange and the like.

            As used throughout this Insuring Agreement, financial benefit does
            not include any salaries, commissions, fees, bonuses, promotions,
            awards, profit sharing, pensions or other employee benefits earned
            in the normal course of employment.

      of the terms, limitations, conditions or agreements of the attached bond
      other than as above stated.

                                COMPUTER SYSTEMS

It is agreed that:

1.    The attached bond is amended by adding an Insuring Agreement (J) as
      follows:

                                COMPUTER SYSTEMS

      Loss resulting directly from a fraudulent

      (1)   entry of data into, or

      (2)   change of data or programs within

            a Computer System; provided the fraudulent entry or change causes

            (a)   Property to be transferred, paid or delivered;
            (b)   an account of the Insured, or of its customer, to be added,
                  deleted, debited or credited;
            (c)   an unauthorized account or a fictitious account to be debited
                  or credited;

      (3)   voice instructions or advices having been transmitted to the Insured
            or its agent(s) by telephone;

            and provided further, the fraudulent entry or change is made or
            caused by an individual acting with the intent to:

            (i) cause the Insured or its agent(s) to sustain a loss; and

            (ii)  obtain financial benefit for that individual or for other
                  persons intended by that individual to receive financial
                  benefit; and

            (iii) further provided such voice instructions or advices:

                  (a)   were made by a person who purported to represent an
                        individual authorized to make such voice instruction or
                        advices; and

                  (b)   were electronically recorded by the Insured or its
                        agent(s).

      (4)   It shall be a condition to recovery under the Computer Systems
            Insuring Agreement that the Insured or its agent(s) shall, to the
            best of their ability, electronically record all voice instructions
            or advices received over the telephone. The Insured or its agent(s)
            warrant that they shall make their best efforts to maintain the
            electronic recording system on a continuous basis.

                  Nothing, however, in this Insuring Agreement shall bar the
            Insured from recovery where no recording is available because of
            mechanical failure of the device used in making such recording, or
            because of failure of the media used to record conversation from any
            cause, or error or omission of any Employee(s) or agent(s) of the
            Insured.

                              SCHEDULE OF SYSTEMS

                  All computer systems utilized by the Insured
                  --------------------------------------------

            components, wherever located;
      (b)   systems and application software;
      (c)   terminal devices;
      (d)   related communication networks or customer communication systems;
            and
      (e)   related electronic funds transfer systems;

      by which data are electronically collected, transmitted, processed, stored
      and retrieved.

3.    In addition to the Exclusions in the attached Bond, the following
      exclusions are applicable to this Insuring Agreement:

      (a)   loss resulting directly or indirectly from the theft of confidential
            information, material or data; and
      (b)   loss resulting directly or indirectly from entries or changes made
            by an individual authorized to have access to a Computer System who
            acts in good faith on instructions, unless such instructions are
            given to that individual by a software contractor (or by a partner,
            officer or employee thereof) authorized by the Insured to design,
            develop, prepare, supply, service, write or implement programs for
            the Insured's Computer System.

4.    All loss or series of losses involving the fraudulent activity of one
      individual, or involving fraudulent activity in which one individual is
      implicated, whether or not that individual is specifically identified,
      shall be treated as one loss. A series of losses involving unidentified
      individuals but arising from the same method of operation may be deemed by
      the Underwriter to involve the same individual and, in that event, shall
      be treated as one loss.

5.    The Limit of Liability for the coverage provided by this Insuring
      Agreement shall be as shown on the Declaration Page of this Bond.

6.    The Underwriter shall be liable hereunder for the amount by which one loss
      shall be in excess of the Deductible Amount as shown on the Declaration
      Page of this Bond.

7.    If any loss is covered under this Insuring Agreement and any other
      Insuring Agreement or Coverage, the maximum amount payable for such loss
      shall not exceed the largest amount available under any one Insuring
      Agreement or Coverage.

8.    Coverage under this Insuring Agreement shall terminate upon termination or
      cancellation of the bond to which this Insuring Agreement is attached.
      Coverage under this Insuring Agreement may also be terminated or cancelled
      without cancelling the Bond as an entirety:

      (a)   60 days after receipt by the Insured of written notice from the
            Underwriter of its desire to terminate or cancel coverage under this
            Insuring Agreement; or

      (b)   immediately upon receipt by the Underwriter of a written request
            from the Insured to terminate or cancel coverage under this Insuring
            Agreement.

      The Underwriter shall refund to the Insured the unearned premium for this
      coverage under this Insuring Agreement. The refund shall be computed at
      short rates if this Insuring Agreement is terminated or cancelled or
      reduced by notice from, or at the instance of, the Insured.

9.    Section 4, LOSS-NOTICE-PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS of the Conditions and
      Limitations of this Bond is amended by adding the following sentence:

      "Proof of loss resulting from voice instructions or advices covered under
      this Insuring Agreement shall include electronic recording of such voice
      instructions or advices."

10.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, coverage afforded by this Insuring
      Agreement is not designed to provide protection against loss covered under
      a separate Electronic and Computer Crime Policy by whatever title assigned
      or by whatever Underwriter written. Any loss which is covered under such
      separate policy is excluded from coverage under this Bond and the Insured
      agrees to make claim for such loss under its separate policy.

11.   Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any
      of the terms, limitations, conditions or agreements of the attached bond
      other than as above stated.

                         TELEFACSIMILE TRAN SFER FRAUD

It is agreed that:

1.    The attached bond is amended by adding an Insuring Agreement (K) as
      follows:

                          TELEFACSIMILE TRANSFER FRAUD

      Loss resulting by reason of the Insured having transferred, paid or
      delivered any funds or Property, established any credit, debited any
      account, or given any value relying on any fraudulent instructions sent by
      a customer or financial institution by Telefacsimile transmission directed
      to the Insured, authorizing or acknowledging the transfer, payment or
      delivery of funds or Property, the establishment of a credit, debiting of
      any account, or the giving of value by the Insured, but only if such
      Telefacsimile instructions:

      i)    bear a valid test key exchanged between the Insured and a customer
            or another financial institution with authority to use such test key
            for Telefacsimile instructions in the ordinary course of business,
            but which test key has been wrongfully obtained by a person who was
            not authorized to initiate, make, validate or authenticate a test
            key arrangement; and

      ii)   fraudulently purport to have been sent by such customer or financial
            institution, but which Telefacsimile instructions were transmitted
            without the knowledge or consent of such customer or financial
            institution by a person other than such customer or financial
            institution and which bear a forged signature.

            "Telefacsimile" means a system of transmitting written documents by
            electronic signals over telephone lines to equipment maintained by
            the Insured within its communication room for the purposes of
            reproducing a copy of said document. It does not mean an electronic
            communication sent by telex, TWC, electronic mail or an Automated
            Clearing House.

2.    The Limit of Liability for the coverage provided by this Insuring
      Agreement shall be as shown on the Declaration Page of this Bond.

3.    The Underwriter shall be liable hereunder for the amount by which one loss
      shall be in excess of the Deductible Amount as shown on the Declaration
      Page of this Bond.

4.    Nothing herein contained shall be held to vary, alter, waive or extend any
      of the terms, limitations, conditions or agreements of the attached bond
      other than as above stated.

            entity which receives such request generally maintains and follows
            during the bond Period all APS Designated Procedures with respect to
            APS Transactions. The unintentional isolated failure of such entity
            to maintain and follow a particular APS Designated Procedure in a
            particular instance shall not preclude coverage under this Insuring
            Agreement, subject to the exclusions herein and in the Bond.

                              individual caller through use of a telephone
                              keypad in the course of such a request, and the
                              records shall be retained for at least six months.

                              requiring the entry by the caller of a
                              confidential personal identification number
                              ("PIN")

                                    enter the PIN.

                         (4)  Written Confirmation: A written confirmation of
                              any APS Transaction shall be mailed to the

      in its entirety and substituting the following:

      The Underwriter may terminate this bond as an entirety by furnishing
      written notice specifying the termination date which cannot be prior to 90
      days after the receipt of such written notice by each Investment Company
      named as Insured and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington,

      written notice to the Underwriter. When the Insured cancels, the Insured

      management investment company), immediately upon taking over of such
      Insured by a receiver or other liquidator or by State or Federal
      officials, or immediately upon the filing of a petition under any State or

      to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC.

      The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates
      in accordance with the standard short rate cancellation tables if
      terminated by the Insured or pro rata if terminated for any other reason.

      This bond shall terminate:

            Employee of the Insured, who is not in collusion with such Employee,
            shall learn of any dishonest or fraudulent act(s), including Larceny
            or Embezzlement, on the part of such Employee without prejudice to
            the loss of any Property then in transit in the custody of such
            Employee and upon the expiration of 90 days after written notice has
            been given to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC
            (see Section 16(d)) and to the Insured Investment Company; or

      b.    as to any Employee 90 days after receipt by each Insured and by the
            Securities and Exchange Commission of a written notice from the
            Underwriter of its desire to terminate this bond as to such
            Employee; or

      c.    as to any person, who is a partner, officer or employee of any
            electronic data processor covered under this bond, from and after
            the time that the Insured or any partner or officer thereof not in
            collusion with such person shall have knowledge or information that
            such person has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s),
            including Larceny or Embezzlement, in the service of the Insured or
            otherwise, whether such act be committed before or after the time
            this bond is effective and upon the expiration of 90 days after
            written notice has been given by the Underwriter to the Securities
            and Exchange Commission, Washington, DC and to the insured
            Investment Company.

2.    Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any
      dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft, the Insured shall immediately
      remove such Employee from a position that may enable such Employee to
      cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent dishonest or
      fraudulent act(s) or theft. The Insured, within forty-eight (48) hours of
      such detection, shall notify the Underwriter with full and complete
      particulars of the detected dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft.

      Single Loss under the attached bond as the amount underwritten by such
      Company, as specified in the Schedule forming a part hereof, bears to the

      any of said Companies be liable for an amount greater than that

      directly to it, premiums for the attached bond may be paid to the
      Controlling Company for the account of all of said Companies.

4.    In the absence of a request from any of said Companies that notice of
      claim and proof of loss be given to or filed directly with it, the giving
      of such notice to and the filing of such proof with, the Controlling
      Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with the conditions of the

      loss, if given and filed in accordance with said conditions.

5.    The Controlling Company may give notice in accordance with the terms of
      the attached bond, terminating or canceling the attached bond as an

      of any Company, other than the Controlling Company, under the attached
      bond by giving notice of such termination or cancellation to such other

8.    In the event of the termination or cancellation of the attached bond as an
      entirety, no Company shall be liable to the Insured for a greater

      the attached bond.

9.    In the event of termination or cancellation of the attached bond as to any
      Company, such Company alone shall be liable to the Insured for any return
      premium due the Insured on account of such termination or cancellation.

      otherwise affect the liability of the other Companies under the attached

                  (A)   nonpayment of premium, provided, however, that a notice
                        of cancellation on this ground shall inform the first

                        obtaining of the policy or in the presentation of a
                        claim thereunder;

                        any policy condition, that substantially and materially

                  (E)   material change in the nature or extent of the risk,
                        occurring after issuance or last annual renewal
                        anniversary date of the policy, which causes the risk of

                        of Insureds of the Insurer, its creditors or the public;

                  (G)   a determination by the New York Superintendent of
                        Insurance that the continuation of the policy would
                        violate, or would place the Insurer in violation of, any
                        provision of the New York Insurance Law;

                  (H)   revocation or suspension of an Insured's license to
                        practice his profession; or

                  (I)   where the Insurer has reason to believe that there is a
                        probable risk or danger that the Insured will destroy or
                        perm it the destruction of the insured property for the

                              department of the ground for cancellation is
                              desired pursuant to item (3) of this subparagraph
                              (I);

                              receipt of notice of cancellation on this ground,
                              the department shall undertake a review of the

                              sufficient cause for cancellation on this ground,

                              deemed null and void.

                              conditions, and rates as the expiring policy,
                              until the later of the expiration date or sixty
                              (60) days after the m ailing of the second notice
                              described in such subparagraph.

                        (2)   Prior to the expiration date of the policy, in the
                              event that an incomplete or late conditional
                              renewal notice or a late nonrenewal notice is
                              provided by the Insurer, the Policy Period shall
                              be extended, at the same terms and conditions as
                              the expiring policy, except that the annual
                              aggregate limit of the expiring policy shall be
                              increased in proportion to the policy extension,
                              and at the lower of the current rates or the prior
                              period's rates, until sixty (60) days after such
                              notice is m ailed, unless the Insured elects to
                              cancel sooner.

                        (3)   In the event that a late conditional renewal
                              notice or a late nonrenewal notice is provided by
                              the insurer on or after the expiration date of the
                              policy, coverage shall remain in effect on the
                              same terms and conditions of the expiring policy
                              for another required policy period, and at the
                              lower of the current rates or the prior period's
                              rates unless the insured during the additional
                              required policy period has replaced the coverage
                              or elects to cancel, in which event such
                              cancellation shall be on a pro rata premium basis.

                  (iv)  Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the grounds
                        for which the Insurer may lawfully rescind this policy
                        or decline to pay a claim under this policy.

                  (v)   Notice required herein to be mailed to the Insured shall
                        be mailed to the Insured at the address shown in Item 1
                        of the Declarations.

                        Notice required herein to be mailed by the Insurer shall
                        be sent by registered, certified or other first class
                        mail. Delivery of written notice shall be equivalent to
                        mailing.

                        Proof of mailing of such notice as aforesaid shall be
                        sufficient proof of notice. The Policy Period shall
                        terminate at the effective date and hour of cancellation
                        or nonrenewal specified in such notice.

                  (vi)  If this policy shall be cancelled by the Insured, the
                        Insurer shall retain the customary short rate proportion
                        of the premium hereon.

                        If this policy shall be cancelled by the Insurer, the
                        Insurer shall retain the pro

                        Payment or tender of any unearned premium by the Insurer
                        shall not be a condition of cancellation, but such
                        payment shall be made as soon as practicable.

ALL OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

                                ---------------


This endorsement, effective 12:01 am May 15, 2013 forms a part of
policy number 02-420-37-51
issued to AllianceBernstein Complex of Registered Investment Companies
by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.

               NEW YORK AMENDATONRY ENDORSEMENT - NY STATUTE 3420

Wherever used in this endorsement: 1) "we", "us", "our" and "Insurer" mean the
insurance company which issued this policy; 2) "you", "your", "Insured" and
"first Named Insured" mean the Named Corporation, Named Entity, Named
Organization, Named Sponsor, Named Insured, or Insured stated in the
declarations page; 3) "other insured(s)" means all other persons or entities
afforded coverage under the policy; 4) "Discovery Period" means Discovery Period
or Extended Reporting Period, as defined in the policy; and 5) "Claim " means
Claim or Suit as defined in the policy.

It is hereby understood and agreed that the policy is am ended as follows: A.

      The following provisions are hereby added to the policy:

      FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE WITHIN PRESCRIBED TIME:

            Failure to give any notice required to be given by this policy, or
            any policy of which this is a renewal, within the prescribed time
            shall not invalidate any Claim made against an Insured if:

            (a)   it shall be shown not to have been reasonably possible to give
                  notice within the prescribed time and that notice was given as
                  soon as was reasonably possible thereafter; or

            (b)   the failure to provide timely notice has not prejudiced the
                  Insurer.

            Any such Claim shall be deemed to have been first made against the
            Insured and noticed to the Insurer within the Policy Period or
            Discovery Period of the policy issued by the Insurer (the "Noticed
            Policy") in which the Insurer received notice of the Claim ;
            provided that the coverage afforded with respect to the Noticed
            Policy shall be in an amount not greater than the amount of coverage
            afforded with respect to the Policy Period of the policy issued by
            the Insurer (the "Former Policy") in which the Claim was actually
            first made against the Insured. The foregoing sentence may result
            in (but not be limited to): (1) reducing the limit of liability
            available for such a Claim to the available limit of liability
            applicable to the Former Policy; (2) increasing the applicable
            retention amount to that retention amount applicable to the Former
            Policy; or (3) reducing or eliminating coverage due to exclusions or
            other restrictions appearing in the Former Policy but eliminated, in
            part or in whole, in the Noticed Policy. No coverage shall be
            afforded under this endorsement if there was not in existence a
            Former Policy at the time the Claim was actually first made against
            the Insured.

            With respect to subsection (b) above, any such Claim must be noticed
            during the Policy Period or Discovery Period of a Noticed Policy
            which is a renewal or extension of the Former Policy.

            Nothing in this endorsement shall be construed to provide coverage
            for a Claim under m ore than one Policy Period or Discovery Period.

      PREJUDICE:

            In the event that the Insurer alleges that it was prejudiced as a
            result of a failure to give notice within the time required under
            the policy, the burden of proof shall be on:

            (a)   the Insurer to prove that it has been prejudiced, if the
                  notice was provided within two years of the time required
                  under the policy; or

            (b)   the Insured to prove that the Insurer has not been prejudiced,
                  if the notice was provided more than two years after the time
                  required under the policy.

            The Insurer's rights shall not be deemed prejudiced unless the
            failure to timely provide notice materially impairs the ability of
            the Insurer to investigate or defend the Claim .

            Notwithstanding the above, an irrebuttable presumption of prejudice
            shall apply if, prior to the notice, the Insured's liability has
            been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a binding
            arbitration; or if the Insured has resolved the Claim by settlement
            or other com promise.

      NOTICE TO AGENT:

            Notice given by or on behalf of the Insured, or written notice by or
            on behalf of the injured party or any other claimant, to any
            licensed agent of the Insurer in the state of New York, with
            particulars sufficient to identify the Insured, shall be deemed
            notice to the Insurer.

      INSOLVENCY/BANKRUPTCY OF INSURED:

            The insolvency or bankruptcy of the Insured shall not relieve the
            Insurer of its obligations under this policy as long as all policy
            requirements are met by Insured, its trustee or receiver in
            bankruptcy. Should a covered judgment be rendered against an
            insolvent or bankrupt Insured, the Insurer shall be liable for the
            amount of such judgment not to exceed the applicable limit of
            liability under this policy.

B.    The Clause entitled, "Action Against Us " or "Action Against Company" is
      deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

            No one may bring an action against us unless there has been full
            compliance with all the terms of this policy and the amount of the
            Insured's obligation to pay has been finally determined either by:

            1.    judgment against the Insured which remains unsatisfied at the
                  expiration of thirty (30) days from the service of notice of
                  entry of the judgment upon the Insured and upon us; or

            2.    written agreement of the Insured, the claimant and us.

            Any person or organization or legal representative thereof who has
            secured such judgment or written agreement shall thereafter be
            entitled to recover under this policy to the extent of the insurance
            afforded by this policy. We may not be impleaded by the Insured or
            its legal representative in any legal action brought against the
            Insured by any person or organization.

ALL OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.

      WHEREAS, the investment companies that are parties to this Agreement are
management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act"); and

      WHEREAS, AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AllianceBernstein") provides investment
advisory services and/or certain administrative and financial services to the
investment companies; and

      WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 17g-1, as amended, promulgated under the Act,
registered management investment companies must provide and maintain fidelity
bonds covering larceny and embezzlement by certain of their officers and
employees in amounts no less than stated minimums based upon the gross assets of
such registered management investment companies; and

      WHEREAS, pursuant to Rule 17g-1(b) under the Act, registered management
investment companies which are managed and/or whose shares are distributed by
the same person may obtain joint coverage as insureds under a single fidelity
bond (a "Joint Fidelity Bond"); and

      WHEREAS, the investment companies are registered management investment
companies managed by AllianceBernstein; and

      WHEREAS, the investment companies desire to obtain coverage under one
joint fidelity bond; and

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc.
("SCB Fund") elects to calculate the required amounts of fidelity bond coverage
on a basis that treats each portfolio of SCB Fund as a separate registered
management investment company for purposes of Rule 17g-1, even though not
required to do so under the Rule; and

      WHEREAS, the AllianceBernstein Multi-Manager Alternative Fund ("MMA Fund")
is composed of a single portfolio; and

      WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors or Trustees of each investment company
that is a party to this Agreement other than SCB Fund and MMA Fund (each such
investment company, an "AB Fund", and together, the "AB Funds") that has
multiple portfolios elects to calculate the required amounts of fidelity bond
coverage on a basis that treats such an investment company as a single
registered management investment company for purposes of Rule 17g-1; and

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors or Trustees of each of the investment
companies which are parties to this Agreement, including a majority of the
Directors or Trustees, as applicable, who are not "interested persons" of such
investment company as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Act ("Disinterested
Directors/Trustees"), has approved coverage under one joint fidelity bond with
each of the other investment companies which are parties to this Agreement in
the respective amounts set forth in Schedule A to this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

      1. That the investment companies which are parties to this Agreement and
AllianceBernstein will be named as insureds and will be covered under a joint
fidelity bond with National Union Fire Insurance Co., Continental Insurance
Company, Berkley Regional Insurance Company, Everest Reinsurance Company,
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and U.S. Specialty Insurance Company (each, a
"Fidelity Insurance Company" and collectively, the "Fidelity Insurance
Companies") in the aggregate amount of $70,800,000 at a total annual cost of
$245,462, each such investment company having specific coverage in accordance
with Rule 17g-1(d). The required coverage amount (calculated pursuant to the
elections of the respective Boards) for each investment company is also shown
opposite the name of each investment company in a separate column on Schedule A.
For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of coverage under the joint fidelity bond
shall at all times be at least equal in amount to the total amount of coverage
which each investment company would have been required to provide and maintain
individually pursuant to the schedule set forth in paragraph (d)(i) of Rule
17g-1 under the Act had each investment company not been named an insured under
the joint fidelity bond.

      2. No premium shall be paid by an investment company under the joint
fidelity bond unless that investment company's Board of Directors or Trustees,
as applicable, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors/Trustees,
shall have approved the portion of the premium to be paid by that investment
company. The premium payable on the joint fidelity bond shall be allocated among
the investment companies in the respective amounts set forth opposite the name
of each investment company listed on Schedule A in the column entitled
"Allocated Cost".

      3. AllianceBernstein has been named an insured under the joint fidelity
bond for administrative convenience. The parties agree that in no event shall
AllianceBernstein be entitled to retain any recovery payable under the joint
fidelity bond, although it may receive payments which will be distributed to one
or more investment companies to facilitate the administration of the joint
fidelity bond.

      4.(a) In the event that one or more of the investment companies sustains a
loss for which recovery is received under the joint fidelity bond, each such
investment company shall receive that portion of the recovery which is
sufficient in amount to indemnify that party in full for the loss sustained by
it (other than the portion thereof subject to a deductible), unless the recovery
is inadequate to fully indemnify all investment companies for such losses by
them (other than the portions thereof subject to deductibles).

      (b) If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such investment
company for losses sustained by it (other than the portion thereof subject to a
deductible), the recovery shall be allocated as follows, to the extent
applicable:

            (i) The AB Funds shall be allocated an aggregate amount equal to the
      lesser of (A) their actual aggregate loss (net of any deductibles) and (B)
      the sum of $45,800,000 plus the difference between $24,250,000 and the
      amount of the loss recovered by the SCB Fund under clause (ii) together
      with the difference between $750,000 and the amount of the loss recovered
      by the MMA Fund under clause (iii). Such amount shall be allocated among
      the AB Funds on an equitable and proportionate basis as determined by
      their respective Boards of Directors or Trustees, but each AB Fund shall
      be allocated an amount at least equal to the amount which it would have
      received had it procured and maintained a single insured bond with the
      minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1).

            (ii) SCB Fund shall be allocated an aggregate amount equal to the
      lesser of (A) its actual loss (net of any deductibles) and (B) the sum of
      $24,250,000 plus the difference between $45,800,000 and the amount of the
      loss recovered by the AB Funds under clause (i) together with the
      difference between $750,000 and the amount of the loss recovered by the
      MMA Fund under clause (iii). Such amounts shall be allocated among the
      portfolios of the SCB Fund on an equitable and proportionate basis as
      determined by the Board of Directors of the SCB Fund, but each such
      portfolio shall be allocated an amount at least equal to the amount which
      it would have received had it procured and maintained a single insurance
      bond with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d)(1), assuming that
      such portfolio would be deemed a separate registered investment company
      for such purposes.

            (iii)  MMA  Fund shall be allocated an aggregate amount equal to the
      lesser  of (A) its actual loss (net of any deductibles) and (B) the sum of
      $750,000  plus  the  difference  between $45,800,000 and the amount of the
      loss  recovered  by  the  AB  Funds  under  clause  (i)  together with the
      difference between $24,250,000 and the amount of the loss recovered by the
      SCB  Fund  under  clause  (ii). Such amount shall be at least equal to the
      amount which MMA Fund would have received had it procured and maintained a
      single   insurance  bond  with  the  minimum  coverage  required  by  Rule
      17g-1(d)(1).

            (iv) Where a compromise results in recovery by any or all of the
      investment companies of less than the full amount of its (or their) actual
      aggregate loss covered by the joint fidelity bond, the recovery shall be
      allocated consistent with (i), (ii) and (iii) above among the investment
      companies that sustained such loss, without regard to the proportion of
      the actual aggregate loss recovered, and with the $45,800,000, $24,250,000
      and $750,000 amounts being reduced proportionate to any reduction to the
      $70,075,000 total insured bond as a result of such compromise unless the
      compromise was based on facts and circumstances particular to one or more,
      but fewer than all, insured parties seeking to recover, in which case any
      or all of the $45,800,000, $24,250,000 or $750,000 amounts will be
      adjusted in an equitable manner taking into account the particular facts
      and circumstances and the principles reflected above.

      4. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a
written agreement executed by all parties hereto.

      5. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Agreement to be
executed in its name and on its behalf by its authorized representative
effective as of the day and year first written above.
