Each Portfolio has its own investment objectives. This report relates only to the Diversified Municipal Portfolio and the AB Core Bond Portfolio (formerly Intermediate Duration Portfolio) (together the “SCB Portfolios”). The financial statements of the Overlay Portfolios are presented in separate financial reports. Class B and Class T shares of the Diversified Municipal Portfolio have been authorized but currently are not offered. Class A and Advisor Class shares of the AB Core Bond Portfolio have been authorized but currently are not offered. Effective November 7, 2025, Class A and Advisor Class shares of the AB Core Bond Portfolio were liquidated. Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that the classes bear different distribution and transfer agency expenses. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan, as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios.
| A. | Portfolio Valuation |
Portfolio securities are valued at market value determined on the basis of market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable, at “fair value” as determined in accordance with procedures approved by and under the oversight of the Portfolios’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). Pursuant to these procedures, AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Adviser”) serves as the Portfolios’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. In this capacity, the Adviser is responsible, among other things, for making all fair value determinations relating to the Portfolios’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight.
In general, the market values of securities which are readily available and deemed reliable are determined as follows: securities listed on a national securities exchange (other than securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”)) or on a foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange or foreign securities exchange. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the last traded price from the previous day. Securities listed on more than one exchange are valued by reference to the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; securities listed only on NASDAQ are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price; listed and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options, including flexible exchange-traded options (“Flex Options”), are
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
63 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
typically valued at transaction price on the trade date. On days when a trade does not occur, these options are valued using models that consider the terms of the option and relevant market inputs; open futures are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recent quoted bid price. If there are no quotations available for the day of valuation, the last available closing settlement price is used; U.S. Government securities and any other debt instruments having 60 days or less remaining until maturity are generally valued at market by an independent pricing vendor, if a market price is available. If a market price is not available, the securities are valued at amortized cost. This methodology is commonly used for short-term securities that have an original maturity of 60 days or less, as well as short-term securities that had an original term to maturity that exceeded 60 days. In instances when amortized cost is utilized, the Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) must reasonably conclude that the utilization of amortized cost is approximately the same as the fair value of the security. Factors the Committee will consider include, but are not limited to, an impairment of the creditworthiness of the issuer or material changes in interest rates. Fixed-income securities, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service or at a price obtained from one or more of the major broker-dealers. In cases where broker-dealer quotes are obtained, the Adviser may establish procedures whereby changes in market yields or spreads are used to adjust, on a daily basis, a recently obtained quoted price on a security. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent pricing services, independent pricing models using market inputs, as well as third party broker-dealers or counterparties. Open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share, while exchange traded funds are valued at the closing market price per share.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as deemed appropriate by the Adviser. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents. In addition, the Portfolios may use fair value pricing for securities primarily traded in non-U.S. markets because most foreign markets close well before the Portfolios value their securities at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolios generally value many of their foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available.
| B. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with U.S. GAAP regarding fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability (including those valued based on their market values as described in Note 1.A above). Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Portfolios. Unobservable inputs reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| • | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| • | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The fair value of debt instruments, such as bonds, and over-the-counter derivatives is generally based on market price quotations, recently executed market transactions (where observable) or industry recognized modeling techniques and are generally classified as Level 2. Pricing vendor inputs to Level 2 valuations may include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, interest rate curves, coupon rates, currency rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, default rates, credit spreads and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows which are then
| 64 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
discounted to calculate fair values. If these inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value, these investments will be classified as Level 3.
Where readily available market prices or relevant bid prices are not available for certain equity investments, such investments may be valued based on similar publicly traded investments, movements in relevant indices since last available prices or based upon underlying company fundamentals and comparable company data (such as multiples to earnings or other multiples to equity). Where an investment is valued using an observable input, such as another publicly traded security, the investment will be classified as Level 2. If management determines that an adjustment is appropriate based on restrictions on resale, illiquidity or uncertainty, and such adjustment is a significant component of the valuation, the investment will be classified as Level 3. An investment will also be classified as Level 3 where management uses company fundamentals and other significant inputs to determine the valuation.
Valuations of mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities, by pricing vendors, are based on both proprietary and industry recognized models and discounted cash flow techniques. Significant inputs to the valuation of these instruments are: the value of collateral, the rates and timing of delinquencies, the rates and timing of prepayments, and default and loss expectations, which are driven in part by housing prices for residential mortgages. Significant inputs are determined based on relative value analyses, which incorporate comparisons to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles, including relevant indices. Mortgage and asset-backed securities for which management has collected current observable data through pricing services are generally categorized within Level 2. Those investments for which current observable data has not been provided are classified as Level 3.
Other fixed income investments, including non-U.S. government and corporate debt, are generally valued using quoted market prices, if available, which are typically impacted by current interest rates, maturity dates and any perceived credit risk of the issuer. Additionally, in the absence of quoted market prices, these inputs are used by pricing vendors to derive a valuation based upon industry or proprietary models which incorporate issuer specific data with relevant yield/spread comparisons with more widely quoted bonds with similar key characteristics. Those investments for which there are observable inputs are classified as Level 2. Where the inputs are not observable, the investments are classified as Level 3.
The following tables summarize the valuation of the Portfolios’ investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2026:

| (a) | Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards and swaps.

| (b) | Only variation margin receivable (payable) at period end is reported within the statement of assets and liabilities. This amount reflects cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures and centrally cleared swaps as reported in the schedule of investments. Where applicable, centrally cleared swaps with upfront premiums are presented here at market value. |
| C. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of securities, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and
| 66 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
losses arising from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, other than security investments, at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currencies.
The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. The Portfolios do isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of securities sold during the year, as required by the Internal Revenue Code.
The AB Core Bond Portfolio may invest in foreign securities and foreign currency transactions that may involve risks not associated with domestic investments as a result of the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability, among others.
| D. | Taxes |
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as they apply to regulated investment companies. By so complying, each Portfolio will not be subject to federal and state income taxes to the extent that all of its income is distributed. The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation as such income and/or gains are earned based on management’s understanding of applicable local tax law.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (the current and the prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, the Portfolios did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
| E. | Security Transactions and Related Investment Income |
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the buy or sell order is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as the Portfolios are informed of the dividend. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date at the fair value of the securities received. The Portfolios amortize premiums and accrete discounts as adjustments to interest income. The Portfolio accounts for distributions received (“REIT” real estate investment trust) investments or from regulated investment companies as dividend income, realized gain, or return of capital based on information provided by the REIT or the investment company.
| F. | Securities Transactions on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis |
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis. At the time a Portfolio commits to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will record the transaction and use the security’s value in determining the Portfolio’s net asset value. At the time a Portfolio commits to sell a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will record the transaction and exclude the security’s value in determining the Portfolio’s net asset value.
| G. | Class Allocations |
All income earned and expenses incurred by the Portfolios are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Portfolio represented by the shares of such class, except for class specific expenses which are allocated to the respective class. Expenses of the Fund are charged proportionately to each Portfolio or based on other appropriate methods. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the various share classes based on respective net assets.
| H. | Distribution of Income and Gains |
Net investment income of each Portfolio Found is intended to be declared and recorded as a dividend to shareholders daily and is payable to shareholders monthly.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
67 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Distributions of net realized gains, less any available loss carryforwards, if any, for all the Portfolios will be paid to shareholders at least once a year, and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Elements of realized gains and net investment income may be recorded in different accounting periods for financial reporting (book) and federal income tax (tax) purposes (temporary differences). To the extent that such distributions required for tax purposes exceed income and gains recorded for book purposes as a result of such temporary differences, “excess distributions” are reflected in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities. To the extent distributions exceed income and gains for tax purposes, such distributions would be shown as “return of capital” on the statement of changes in net assets. Certain other differences—permanent differences—arise because treatment of elements of income and gains is different between book and tax accounting. Permanent differences are reclassified in the year they arise.
| I. | Cash and Short-Term Investments |
Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand and short-term investments with maturities of less than one year when purchased.
| J. | Segment Information |
Each Portfolio represent a single operating segment. An operating segment is defined in U.S. GAAP as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Portfolios’ President is the CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Portfolios as a whole and the pre-determined Portfolios’ long term investment strategy, which is executed by the portfolio management group. The qualitative and quantitative information contained within the financial statements is used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Portfolios’ comparative benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment assets are reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities and segment expenses are listed on the statement of operations.

Prior to November 7, 2025, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee of the AB Core Bond Portfolio by an amount equal to 0.10% of the Portfolio’s daily average net assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, such reimbursements/waivers amounted to $3,078,681.
| B. | Shareholder Servicing Fee; Transfer Agency Fee |
Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser pays expenses it incurs in providing shareholder servicing to the Fund, the Portfolios and individual shareholders. The Shareholder Servicing Agreement does not apply to the Retail Classes. Such services include, but are not limited to, providing information to shareholders concerning their fund investments, systematic withdrawal plans, fund dividend payments and reinvestments, shareholder account or transactions status, net asset value of shares, fund performance, fund services, plans and options, fund investment policies, portfolio holdings and tax consequences of fund investments; dealing with shareholder complaints and other correspondence relating to fund matters; and communications with shareholders when proxies are being solicited from them with respect to voting their fund shares. Under the agreement, the fee paid by each Portfolio to the Adviser for services is 0.10 of 1%, annualized, of the average daily net assets attributable to the Bernstein Class during the month.
Under a Transfer Agency Agreement between the Fund on behalf of the Retail Classes, and AllianceBernstein Investor Services, Inc. (“ABIS”), the Retail Classes compensate ABIS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services. ABIS may make payments to intermediaries that provide omnibus account services, sub accounting services and/or networking services. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the compensation retained by ABIS amounted to: Diversified Municipal Portfolio, $106,413; AB Core Bond Portfolio, $3,580.
| C. | Distribution Arrangements—the Portfolios Except the Retail Classes |
Under the Distribution Agreement between the Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio, and Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC (the “Distributor”), the Distributor agrees to act as agent to sell shares of the Portfolios. The Distributor receives no fee for this service, and furthermore agrees to pay all expenses arising from the performance of its obligations under this agreement. The Distributor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser.
| D. | Distribution Arrangements—the Retail Classes Only |
The Retail Classes of the Portfolios have adopted a Distribution Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), including a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Agreement, each of the Retail Classes pays distribution services fees to AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc., (the “Retail Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, at an annual rate of up to 0.30 of 1% of the Class A Shares, and 1% of the Class C Shares of the respective average daily net assets attributable to the Retail Classes. Payments under the Agreement in respect of Class A shares are currently limited to an annual rate of 0.25 of 1% of Class A shares’ average daily net assets. The Agreement provides that the Retail Distributor will use such payments in their entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. The Retail Distributor has advised the Fund, that it has incurred expenses in excess of the distribution costs reimbursed by each of the Retail Classes as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
There are no distribution and servicing fees on the Advisor Class and Class Z Shares.
While such costs may be recovered from each Portfolio in future periods so long as the Agreement is in effect, the rate of the distribution and servicing fees payable under the Agreement may not be increased without a shareholder vote. In accordance with the Agreement, there is no provision for recovery of unreimbursed distribution costs incurred by the Retail Distributor beyond the current fiscal year for Class A shares. The Agreement also provides that the Adviser may use its own resources to finance the distribution of each Portfolio’s shares.
| E. | Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Class A Shares of the Retail Classes are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 4.25% for purchases not exceeding $1,000,000. The Diversified Municipal Portfolio’s Class A shares are sold with a reduced front-end sales charge of up to 3.00% for purchases up to $500,000; purchases of $500,000 or more will not be subject to a sales charge. With respect to purchases of $1,000,000 or more ($500,000 or more with respect to the Diversified Municipal Portfolio’s), Class A Shares redeemed within one year of purchase may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1%.
Class C Shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on redemptions made within the first year after purchase, and 0% after the first year of purchase. Effective May 31, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month of purchase. Prior to May 31, 2021, Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares ten years after the end of the calendar month of purchase. Advisor Class and Class Z shares are sold without an initial or contingent deferred sales charge and are not subject to ongoing distribution expenses.
AllianceBernstein Investments, Inc. has advised the Fund, that it has retained front-end sales charges from sales of Class A Shares and received contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by shareholders of Class A and Class C Shares for the six months ended March 31, 2026, as follows:

| B. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
Each Portfolio may use derivatives in an effort to earn income and enhance returns, to replace more traditional direct investments, to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets (collectively, “investment purposes”), or to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio.
The principal types of derivatives utilized by the Portfolios, as well as the methods in which they may be used are:
| • | Futures |
Each Portfolio may buy or sell futures for investment purposes or for the purpose of hedging its portfolio against adverse effects of potential movements in the market. The Portfolios bear the market risk that arises from changes in the value of these instruments and the imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures and movements in the price of the assets, reference rates or indices which they are designed to track. Among other things, the Portfolios may purchase or sell futures for foreign currencies or options thereon for non-hedging purposes as a means of making direct investment in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions”.
At the time a Portfolio enters into futures, a Portfolio deposits with the broker or segregates at its custodian cash or securities as collateral to satisfy initial margin requirements set by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, with respect to cash collateral, the Portfolios agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract; in the case of securities collateral, the Portfolio agrees to adjust the securities position held in the segregated account accordingly. Such receipts, payments or adjustments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures is generally less than privately negotiated futures, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, has robust risk mitigation standards, including the requirement to provide initial and variation margin. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the time it was closed.
Use of long futures subjects the Portfolios to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the statement of assets and liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures. Use of short futures subjects the Portfolios to unlimited risk of loss. Each Portfolio may enter into futures only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transactions; therefore, the Portfolios’ credit risk is subject to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of futures can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the AB Core Bond Portfolio held futures for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
| • | Forward Currency Exchange Contracts |
The AB Core Bond Portfolio may enter into forward currency exchange contracts on either a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis. Spot contracts are entered into at the rate then prevailing in the currency-exchange market. Forward currency exchange contracts obligate the contracting parties to purchase or sell a specific currency at a specified future date at a specified price. The Portfolios will generally not enter into a forward currency exchange contract with a term greater than one year. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions exchange contracts. Fluctuations in the value of open forward currency exchange contracts are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation by the Portfolio. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Forward currency exchange contracts used to protect the Portfolios from adverse currency movements involve the risk that the Adviser may not accurately predict currency movements. As a result, total return could be adversely affected. The Adviser may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps and other options. The Adviser may enter into foreign currency transactions for investment opportunities when it anticipates that a foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the AB Core Bond Portfolio held forward currency exchange contracts for hedging purposes.
| • | Swaps |
Each Portfolio may enter into swaps to hedge their exposure to interest rates, credit risk, or currencies. Certain Portfolios may also enter into swaps for non-hedging purposes as a means of gaining market exposures, including by making direct investments in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions.” A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. In addition, collateral may be pledged or received by the Portfolios in accordance with the terms of the respective swaps to provide value and recourse to the Portfolios or their counterparties in the event of default, bankruptcy or insolvency by one of the parties to the swap.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap to comply with the terms of the swap. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interim payment to be received by the Portfolios, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Portfolios consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap in evaluating potential counterparty risk. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolios and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying securities. The Portfolios accrue for the interim payments on swaps on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swaps on the statement of assets and liabilities, where applicable. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/(loss) on swaps on the statement of operations, in addition to any realized gain/(loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps. Upfront premiums paid or received for swaps are recognized as cost or proceeds on the statement of assets and liabilities and are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the contract. Amortized upfront premiums are included in net realized gain/(loss) from swaps on the statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swaps are recorded as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swaps on the statement of operations.
Certain standardized swaps, including certain interest rate swaps and credit default swaps are (or soon will be) subject to mandatory central clearing. Cleared swaps are transacted through futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) that are members of central clearinghouses, with the clearinghouse serving as central counterparty, similar to transactions in futures contracts. Centralized clearing will be required for additional categories of swaps on a phased-in basis based on requirements published by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
At the time the Portfolios enter into a centrally cleared swap, the Portfolios deposit with the broker or segregates at is custodian cash or securities as collateral to satisfy initial margin requirements set by the clearinghouse on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, with respect to cash collateral, the Portfolios agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract; in the case of securities collateral, the Fund agrees to adjust the securities position held in the segregated account accordingly. Such receipts, payments or adjustments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for centrally cleared swaps is generally less than non-centrally cleared swaps, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each centrally cleared swap, has robust risk mitigation standards, including the requirement to provide initial and variation margin. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the time it was closed.
Interest Rate Swaps:
Each Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolios hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Portfolios may enter into interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional amount. The Portfolios may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional amount.
| 72 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
In addition, a Portfolio may also enter into interest rate swap transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or protecting against an increase in the price of securities the Portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) computed based on a contractually-based principal (or “notional”) amount. Interest rate swaps are entered into on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Portfolio receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments).
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Diversified Municipal Portfolio held interest rate swaps for hedging purposes. AB Core Bond Portfolio held interest rate swaps for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
Inflation (CPI) Swaps:
Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index (the Consumer Price Index with respect to CPI swaps) over the term of the swap (with some lag on the inflation index), and the other pays a compounded fixed rate. Inflation swaps may be used to protect the net asset value, or NAV, of a Portfolio against an unexpected change in the rate of inflation measured by an inflation index since the value of these agreements is expected to increase if there are unexpected inflation increases.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Diversified Municipal Portfolio held inflation (CPI) swaps for hedging purposes.
Credit Default Swaps:
Each Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps for multiple reasons, including to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults by corporate and sovereign issuers held by the Portfolios, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. The Portfolios may purchase credit protection (“Buy Contract”) or provide credit protection (“Sale Contract”) on the referenced obligation of the credit default swap. During the term of the swap, the Portfolios receive/(pay) fixed payments from/(to) the respective counterparty, calculated at the agreed upon rate applied to the notional amount. If the Portfolio is a buyer/(seller) of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap, the Portfolios will either (i) receive from the seller/(pay to the buyer) of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap (the “Maximum Payout Amount”) and deliver/(take delivery of) the referenced obligation or (ii) receive/(pay) a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation. In certain circumstances Maximum Payout Amounts may be partially offset by recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront premium received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from settlement of buy protection credit default swaps entered into by the Portfolios for the same referenced obligations with the same counterparty.
Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and no credit event occurs, it will lose the payments it made to its counterparty. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the value of the referenced obligation received by the Portfolio coupled with the periodic payments previously received, may be less than the Maximum Payout Amount it pays to the buyer, resulting in a net loss to the Portfolio.
Implied credit spreads over U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturity utilized in determining the market value of credit default swaps on issuers as of period end are disclosed in the schedule of investments. The implied spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and typically reflect the market’s assessment of the likelihood of default by the issuer of the referenced obligation. The implied credit spread of a particular reference obligation also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Widening credit spreads typically represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and greater likelihood of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced obligation.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Diversified Municipal Portfolio held credit default swaps for hedging purposes.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
A Portfolio typically enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to OTC counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Portfolio typically may offset with the OTC counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. In the event of a default by an OTC counterparty, the return of collateral with market value in excess of a Portfolio’s net liability, held by the defaulting party, may be delayed or denied.
A Portfolio’s ISDA Master Agreements may contain provisions for early termination of OTC derivative transactions in the event the net assets of a Portfolio decline below specific levels (“net asset contingent features”). If these levels are triggered, a Portfolio’s OTC counterparty has the right to terminate such transaction and require the Portfolio to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated transaction. If OTC derivatives were held at period end, please refer to netting arrangements by the OTC counterparty tables below for additional details.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios had entered into the following derivatives:

| C. | Currency Transactions |
The AB Core Bond Portfolio may invest in non-U.S. Dollar-denominated securities on a currency hedged or unhedged basis. The Portfolios may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps, and other options. The Portfolios may enter into transactions for investment opportunities when it anticipates that a foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value but securities denominated in that currency are not held by the Portfolios and do not present attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also be used when the Adviser believes that it may be more efficient than a direct investment in a foreign currency-denominated security. The Portfolios may also conduct currency exchange contracts on a spot basis (i.e., for cash at the spot rate prevailing in the currency exchange market for buying or selling currencies).
| D. | TBA and Dollar Rolls |
Each Portfolio may invest in TBA mortgage-backed securities. A TBA, or “To Be Announced”, trade represents a contract for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities to be delivered at a future agreed-upon date; however, the specific mortgage pool numbers or the number of pools that will be delivered to fulfill the trade obligation or terms of the contract are unknown at the time of the trade. Mortgage pools (including fixed-rate or variable-rate mortgages) guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or FHLMC, are subsequently allocated to the TBA transactions.
The AB Core Bond Portfolio may enter into certain TBA transactions known as dollar rolls. Dollar rolls involve sales by the Portfolios of securities for delivery in the current month and The Fund simultaneously contracting to repurchase substantially similar (same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Portfolios forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Portfolios are compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”) as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Portfolios are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. Dollar rolls are speculative techniques. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the AB Core Bond Portfolio earned drop income of $1,675,921, which is included in interest income in the accompanying statement of operations.

| NOTE 5. | Risks Involved in Investing in the Portfolios |
Interest Rate Risk—Changes in interest rates will affect the value of investments in fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the value of existing investments in fixed-income securities tends to fall and this decrease in value may not be offset by higher income from new investments. Interest-rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Portfolio performance. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Credit Risk—This is the risk that the issuer or the guarantor of a debt security, or the counterparty to a derivatives or other contract, will be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The issuer or guarantor may default, potentially causing a loss of the full principal amount of a security and accrued interest. The degree of risk for a particular security may be reflected in its credit rating, although credit ratings are opinions and not guarantees of quality. The credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security. Investments in fixed-income securities with lower ratings tend to have a higher probability that an issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations, making credit risk greater for
| 78 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
medium-quality and lower-rated debt securities. Lower-rated debt securities and similar unrated securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) have speculative elements or are predominantly speculative credit risks. At times when credit risk is perceived to be greater, credit “spreads” (i.e., the difference between the yields on lower quality securities and the yields on higher quality securities) may get larger or “widen”. As a result, the values of the lower quality securities may go down more and they may become harder to sell.
Duration Risk—The duration of a fixed-income security may be shorter than or equal to full maturity of the fixed-income security. Fixed-income securities with longer durations have more interest-rate risk and will decrease in price as interest rates rise. Securities that have final maturities longer than their durations may be affected by increased credit spreads to a far greater degree than their durations would suggest, because they are exposed to credit risk until final maturity.
Municipal Market Risk—This is the risk that special factors may adversely affect the value of municipal securities and have a significant effect on the yield or value of the Portfolios’ investments in municipal securities. These factors include economic conditions, political or legislative changes, uncertainties related to the tax status of municipal securities, and the rights of investors in these securities. The value of municipal securities may also be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. To the extent the Portfolios invests in the municipal securities of a particular state or territory, it may be vulnerable to events adversely affecting that state or territory, including economic, political and regulatory occurrences, court decisions, terrorism, public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness) and catastrophic natural disasters, such as droughts, wildfires, flooding and earthquakes, which may be further exacerbated by recent environmental conditions and climate change patterns. The Portfolios’ investments in certain municipal securities with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, and not general tax revenues, are subject to the risk that factors affecting the project or facility, such as local business or economic conditions, could have a significant effect on the project’s ability to make payments of principal and interest on these securities.
In addition, changes in tax rates or the treatment of income from certain types of municipal securities, among other things, could negatively affect the municipal securities markets.
The municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico and its government agencies and municipalities may have more risks than those of other U.S. issuers of municipal securities. Puerto Rico continues to face a very challenging economic and fiscal environment. If the general economic situation in Puerto Rico continues to persist or worsens, the volatility and credit quality of Puerto Rican municipal securities could continue to be adversely affected, and the market for such securities may deteriorate further.
Inflation Risk—This is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of the Portfolios’ assets can decline as can the value of the Portfolios’ distributions. This risk is significantly greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities.
Inflation-Protected Securities Risk—The terms of inflation-protected securities provide for the coupon and/or maturity value to be adjusted based on changes in an inflation index. Decreases in the inflation rate or in investors’ expectations about inflation could cause these securities to underperform non-inflation-adjusted securities on a total-return basis. In addition, there can be no assurance that the relevant inflation index will accurately measure the rate of inflation, in which case the securities may not work as intended. These securities may be more difficult to trade or dispose of than other types of securities.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk—Investments in foreign securities entail significant risks in addition to those customarily associated with investing in U.S. securities such as less liquid, less transparent, less regulated and more volatile markets. These risks include risks related to unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, economic sanctions and potential responses to those sanctions, inadequate accounting standards and auditing and financial recordkeeping requirements, lack of information, social instability, armed conflict, and other adverse market, economic, political and regulatory factors, all of which could disrupt the financial markets in which the Portfolios invest and adversely affect the value of the Portfolios’ assets.
Country Concentration Risk—The Portfolios may not always be diversified among countries or regions and the effect on the share price of the Portfolios of specific risks such as political, regulatory and currency may be magnified due to concentration of the Portfolios’ investments in a particular country or region.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Emerging Markets Securities Risk—The risks of investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities are heightened with respect to issuers in emerging-market countries because the markets are less developed, less liquid and subject to increased potential for market manipulation and there may be a greater amount of economic, political and social uncertainty. These risks are even more pronounced in “frontier” markets, which are investable markets with lower total market capitalization and liquidity than the more developed emerging markets. Emerging markets typically have fewer medical and economic resources than the more developed countries, and thus they may be less able to control or mitigate the effects of a pandemic, climate change, or a natural disaster.
Derivatives Risk—The Portfolios may use derivatives as direct investments to earn income, enhance return and broaden portfolio diversification, which entail greater risk than if used solely for hedging purposes. While hedging can guard against potential risks, there is also a risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. In addition to other risks such as the credit risk of the counterparty (the party on the other side of the transaction), derivatives involve the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate with relevant assets, rates or indices. Derivatives may be difficult to price or unwind, and small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Portfolios. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Assets required to be set aside or posted as margin or collateral for derivatives positions may themselves go down in value, and these collateral and other requirements may limit investment flexibility. Some derivatives involve leverage, which can make the Portfolios more volatile and can compound other risks. Derivatives, especially over-the-counter derivatives, are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty on a derivative transaction will be unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations to the Portfolio. Use of derivatives may have different tax consequences for the Portfolios than an investment in the underlying asset or index, and such differences may affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to shareholders. The U.S. government and certain foreign governments have adopted regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives as well as additional regulations governing margin, reporting and registration requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance, or disrupt markets.
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Related Securities Risk—Mortgage- and asset-related securities represent interests in “pools” of mortgages or other assets, including consumer loans or receivables held in trust. Mortgage- and asset-related securities are subject to credit, interest rate, prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-related securities. Asset-related securities entail certain risks not presented by mortgage-backed securities, including the risk that it may be difficult to perfect the liens securing any collateral backing certain asset-backed securities.
Prepayment and Extension Risk—Prepayment risk is the risk that a loan, bond or other security might be called or otherwise converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity. If this happens, particularly during a time of declining interest rates or credit spreads, the Portfolios will not benefit from the rise in market price that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates, and may not be able to invest the proceeds in securities providing as much income, resulting in a lower yield to the Portfolios. Conversely, extension risk is the risk that as interest rates rise or spreads widen, payments of securities may occur more slowly than anticipated by the market. If this happens, the values of these securities may go down because their interest rates are lower than current market rates and they remain outstanding longer than anticipated.
Subordination Risk—The Portfolios may invest in securities that are subordinated to more senior securities of an issuer, or which represent interests in pools of such subordinated securities. Subordinated securities will be disproportionately affected by a default or even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer. Subordinated securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, any loss incurred by the subordinated securities is likely to be proportionately greater, and any recovery of interest or principal may take more time.
Management Risk—The Portfolios are subject to management risk because they are actively- managed investment portfolios. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Portfolios, but these techniques, analyses and decisions may not work as intended or may not produce the desired results, and may, during certain periods, result in increased volatility for the Portfolios or cause the value of the Portfolios’ shares to go down. In some cases, derivatives and other investment techniques may be unavailable, or the Adviser may determine not to use them, possibly even under market conditions where their use could benefit the Portfolios. Some of
| 80 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
these techniques may incorporate, or rely upon, quantitative models, but there is no guarantee that these models will generate accurate forecasts, reduce risk or otherwise perform as expected. In addition, the Adviser may change the Portfolios’ investment strategies or policies from time to time. Those changes may not lead to the results intended by the Adviser and could also have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the Portfolios.
Illiquid Investments Risk—Illiquid investments risk exists when particular investments are difficult or impossible to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Portfolios from purchasing or selling these securities at an advantageous price. In certain cases, governmental actions could prevent sales of securities or repatriation of proceeds. Over recent years, regulatory changes have led to reduced liquidity in the marketplace, and the capacity of dealers to make markets in fixed-income securities has been outpaced by the growth in the size of the fixed-income markets. Illiquid investments risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment, where the value and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally go down. The municipal Portfolios are subject to greater risk because the market for municipal securities is generally smaller and may not be liquid as many other fixed-income markets, which may make municipal securities more difficult to trade or dispose of than other types of securities. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Portfolios is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, or to try to limit losses, the Portfolios may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all.
Redemption Risk—The Portfolios may experience heavy redemptions that could cause the Portfolios to liquidate their assets at inopportune times or unfavorable prices or increase or accelerate taxable gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Portfolios’ net asset value (“NAV”), or performance, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. Redemption risk is heightened during periods of overall market turmoil.
Foreign Currency Risk—This is the risk that changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the Portfolios’ investments or reduce the returns of the Portfolios. For example, the value of the Portfolios’ investments in foreign securities and foreign currency positions may decrease if the U.S. Dollar is strong (i.e., gaining value relative to other currencies) and other currencies are weak (i.e., losing value relative to the U.S. Dollar).
Actions by a Few Major Investors—In certain countries, volatility may be heightened by actions of a few major investors. For example, substantial increases or decreases in cash flows of mutual funds investing in these markets could significantly affect local stock prices and, therefore, share prices of the Portfolios.
Market Risk—The Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the risk that securities prices in general or in particular countries or sectors may decline over short or extended periods. Stock or bond prices may decline in response to adverse changes in the economy or the economic outlook; deterioration in investor sentiment; interest rate, currency and commodity price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations; public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness) and regional and global conflicts; cybersecurity events; market disruptions caused by tariffs; trade disputes; measures to address budget deficits; downgrading of sovereign debt; sanctions or other government actions; and other factors.
The United States and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs on various categories of goods imported from the other country, restrictions on investment and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the current political climate between the United States and China has intensified concerns about protectionist trade policies and a potential trade war between China and the United States. The United States has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports and placed other restrictions on or barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes, particularly prolonged disputes, may adversely affect the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the companies directly or indirectly affected by the dispute and financial markets generally, and thus may adversely affect the value of the Portfolio’s assets. In addition, an increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such increased tariffs or restrictions, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on the global economy and a commensurately negative impact on the Portfolio. The United States government has in the recent past acted to prohibit U.S. persons, such as the Portfolio, from owning, and required them to divest, certain Chinese companies designated as related to the Chinese military. There is no assurance that more such companies will not be so designated in the future, which could limit the Portfolio’s opportunities for investment and require the sale of securities at a loss or make them illiquid. Some countries and regions in which the Portfolio invests have strained international relations due to territorial disputes, historical animosities or other defense concerns. Incidents involving a country’s or region’s security may cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect a Portfolio’s investments. For example, the Chinese government is involved in a territorial dispute
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
81 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
with Taiwan as well as other territorial disputes; the risk of a forced unification with Taiwan by the Chinese government may adversely affect securities of Chinese, Taiwan-based and other issuers both in and outside the region. If the political climate between the United States, China and other countries in Asia continues to deteriorate, economies and markets may be adversely affected.
Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; potential trade imbalances with China or other countries; or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations, or individuals or companies (or countermeasures taken in response to such sanctions), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are highly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, armed conflict, including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the conflict involving Israel and other countries in the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters (including the spread of infectious illness) and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine commencing in February of 2022, the United States, the European Union and other countries instituted numerous sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Russia in turn has taken a large number of retaliatory actions, some of which effectively froze Russian securities held by U.S. investors (including U.S. funds such as the Portfolio) and investors in other countries viewed as “unfriendly” by Russia, including securities represented by depositary receipts, effectively precluding the Portfolio from buying, selling, receiving or delivering those securities or accessing income received on such securities. Since then, Russian securities held by investors in the U.S. and other jurisdictions viewed as “unfriendly” by Russia have lost all, or nearly all, of their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The disruption of the Russian economy has had severe adverse effects on the region and beyond, including significant negative impacts on the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors. As a result, whether or not the Portfolio invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments may be negatively affected.
Tax Risk—There is no guarantee that the income on the Portfolios’ municipal securities will be exempt from regular U.S. federal income, and if applicable, state income taxes. Unfavorable legislation, adverse interpretations by federal or state authorities, litigation or noncompliant conduct by the issuer of a municipal security could affect the tax-exempt status of municipal securities. If the Internal Revenue Service or a state authority determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable requirements, interest from the security could become subject to regular U.S. federal income tax and/or state personal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly, and a portion of the distributions to Portfolio shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable. The U.S. Congress has considered changes to U.S. federal tax law that would, if enacted, have a negative impact on certain types of municipal securities, such as private activity bonds, or would otherwise make investments in municipal bonds less attractive.
Lower-rated Securities Risk—Lower-rated securities, or junk bonds/high-yield securities, are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest and greater market risk than higher-rated securities. The capacity of issuers of lower-rated securities to pay interest and repay principal is more likely to weaken than is that of issuers of higher-rated securities in times of deteriorating economic conditions or rising interest rates.
Active Trading Risk—The Portfolio expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities and its portfolio turnover rate may greatly exceed 100%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction costs, which may negatively affect the Portfolio’s return. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in substantial short-term gains, which may have adverse tax consequences for Portfolio shareholders.
Indemnification Risk—In the ordinary course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Portfolios have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and expect the risk of loss thereunder to be remote. Therefore, the Portfolios have not accrued any liability in connection with these indemnification provisions.

A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the Facility amount is allocated among the participating funds. The portion of the commitment fee allocated to the ETFs is paid by the Adviser pursuant to the ETFs’ unitary fee structure. The Portfolios did not utilize the Facility during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

Board Consideration of Investment Management Arrangement
Information Regarding the Review and Approval of the Advisory Agreement in Respect of Each Fund
The disinterested directors (the “directors”) of Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved the continuance of the Company’s Advisory Agreement with the Adviser in respect of each of the portfolios listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) at a meeting held in-person on August 5-6, 2025 (the “Meeting”):
• Emerging Markets Portfolio |
• Diversified Municipal Portfolio | |
• New York Municipal Portfolio • California Municipal Portfolio |
• Intermediate Duration Portfolio (effective on or about November 7, 2025 name change to AB Core Bond Portfolio) |
Prior to approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement in respect of each Fund, the directors had requested from the Adviser, and received and evaluated, extensive materials. They reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Adviser, who advised on the relevant legal standards. The directors also reviewed additional materials, including comparative analytical data prepared by the Senior Vice President of each Fund. The directors also discussed the proposed continuances in private sessions with counsel.
The directors considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as directors or trustees of most of the registered investment companies advised by the Adviser, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and competence they have gained from that experience, the Adviser’s initiative in identifying and raising potential issues with the directors and its responsiveness, frankness and attention to concerns raised by the directors in the past, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the AB Funds. The directors noted that they have four regular meetings each year, at each of which they review extensive materials and information from the Adviser, including information on the investment performance of the Funds and the money market fund advised by the Adviser in which Emerging Markets Portfolio invests a portion of its assets.
The directors also considered all factors they believed relevant, including the specific matters discussed below. During the course of their deliberations, the directors evaluated, among other things, the reasonableness of the advisory fee in respect of each Fund. The directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and different directors may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The directors determined that the selection of the Adviser to manage each Fund and the overall arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, including the advisory fee, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the directors’ determinations included the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided
The directors considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, including the quality of the investment research capabilities of the Adviser and the other resources it has dedicated to performing services for each Fund. The directors noted that the Adviser from time to time reviews each Fund’s investment strategies and from time to time proposes changes intended to improve a Fund’s relative or absolute performance for the directors’ consideration. They also noted the professional experience and qualifications of each Fund’s portfolio management team and other senior personnel of the Adviser. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Adviser’s role in coordinating the activities of each Fund’s other service providers, also was considered. The directors concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each of the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability
The directors reviewed a schedule of the revenues and expenses and related notes indicating the profitability of each Fund to the Adviser for calendar years 2023 and 2024 that had been prepared with an expense allocation methodology arrived at in consultation with an independent consultant at the request of the directors. The directors noted the assumptions and methods of allocation used by the Adviser in preparing fund-specific profitability data and understood that there are a number of potentially acceptable allocation methodologies for information of this type. The directors noted that the
| 86 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
profitability information reflected all revenues and expenses of the Adviser’s relationships with the Funds, including those relating to its subsidiaries that provide transfer agency and distribution services to the Funds. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of the profitability of the Advisory Agreement with the profitability of fund advisory contracts for unaffiliated funds because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors. The directors focused on the profitability of the Adviser’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The directors concluded that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable.
Fall-Out Benefits
The directors considered the other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the money market fund advised by the Adviser in which Emerging Markets Portfolio invests, including, but not limited to, benefits relating to 12b-1 fees and sales charges received by the Funds’ principal underwriter (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser) in respect of certain classes of the Funds’ shares, as applicable, and transfer agency fees paid by the Funds to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser. The directors recognized that the Adviser’s profitability would be somewhat lower without these benefits. The directors understood that the Adviser also might derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Funds.
Investment Results
In addition to the information reviewed by the directors in connection with the Meeting, the directors receive detailed performance information for each Fund at each regular Board meeting during the year.
At the Meeting, the directors reviewed performance information prepared by an independent service provider (the “15(c) service provider”), showing the performance of the Private Client Class shares of each Fund against a group of similar funds (“peer group”) and a larger group of similar funds (“peer universe”), each selected by the 15(c) service provider, and information prepared by the Adviser showing performance of the Private Client Class shares against a broad-based securities market index, in each case for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended May 31, 2025. The directors discussed with the Adviser the reasons for Diversified Municipal Portfolio’s underperformance in certain of the more recent periods reviewed. Based on their review, the directors concluded that the investment performance for each Fund was acceptable.
Advisory Fees and Other Expenses
The directors considered the advisory fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser and information prepared by the 15(c) service provider concerning advisory fee rates payable by other funds in the same category as such Fund. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees payable by other funds. The directors compared each Fund’s contractual effective advisory fee rate with a peer group median and noted that it was lower than the median for each of Emerging Markets Portfolio, California Municipal Portfolio and New York Municipal Portfolio, and equal to the median for Diversified Municipal Portfolio. The directors noted that for Intermediate Duration Portfolio, the Fund’s pro forma contractual effective fee (pertaining to the Adviser’s proposal to implement effective November 7, 2025, an advisory fee waiver to effectively reduce the Fund’s advisory fee from 0.43% to 0.28%) was lower than the median.
The directors also considered the Adviser’s fee schedule for other clients utilizing investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. For this purpose, they reviewed the relevant advisory fee information from the Adviser’s Form ADV and in a report from the Funds’ Senior Vice President and noted the differences between each Fund’s fee schedule, on the one hand, and the Adviser’s institutional fee schedule and the schedule of fees charged by the Adviser to any offshore funds and for services to any sub-advised funds utilizing investment strategies similar to those of the Fund, on the other. The directors noted that the Adviser may, in some cases, agree to fee rates with large institutional clients that are lower than those reviewed by the directors and that they had previously discussed with the Adviser its policies in respect of such arrangements.
The Adviser reviewed with the directors the significantly greater scope of the services it provides to the Funds relative to institutional, offshore fund and sub-advised fund clients. In this regard, the Adviser noted, among other things, that, compared to institutional and offshore or sub-advisory accounts, each Fund (i) demands considerably more portfolio
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
87 | |
Board Consideration of Investment Management Arrangement (continued)
management, research and trading resources due to significantly higher daily cash flows; (ii) has more tax and regulatory restrictions and compliance obligations; (iii) must prepare and file or distribute regulatory and other communications about fund operations; and (iv) must provide shareholder servicing to retail investors. The Adviser also reviewed the greater legal risks presented by the large and changing population of Fund shareholders who may assert claims against the Adviser in individual or class actions, and the greater entrepreneurial risk in offering new fund products, which require substantial investment to launch, may not succeed, and generally must be priced to compete with larger, more established funds resulting in lack of profitability to the Adviser until a new fund achieves scale. In light of the substantial differences in services rendered by the Adviser to institutional, offshore fund and sub-advised fund clients as compared to the Funds, and the different risk profile, the directors considered these fee comparisons inapt and did not place significant weight on them in their deliberations.
In connection with their review of each Fund’s advisory fee, the directors also considered the total expense ratio of the Private Client Class shares of each Fund in comparison to the medians for a peer group and a peer universe selected by the 15(c) service provider. The expense ratio of each Fund was based on the Fund’s latest fiscal year. The information provided for Emerging Markets Portfolio included a pro forma expense ratio for the Fund’s latest fiscal year adjusted to reflect the Adviser’s proposal to waive a portion of the shareholder servicing fee charged to the Fund’s Private Client Class to effectively reduce such fee from 0.25% to 0.105%. The information provided for Intermediate Duration Portfolio included a pro forma expense ratio for the Fund’s latest fiscal year adjusted to reflect the Adviser’s proposal to implement an advisory fee waiver to reduce the Fund’s advisory fee from 0.43% to 0.28% and to implement an expense cap of 0.28%. The directors noted that it was likely that the expense ratios of some of the other funds in each Fund’s category were lowered by waivers or reimbursements by those funds’ investment advisers, which in some cases might be voluntary or temporary. The directors view expense ratio information as relevant to their evaluation of the Adviser’s services because the Adviser is responsible for coordinating services provided to the Funds by others. The directors noted that for California Municipal Portfolio and New York Municipal Portfolio, the expense ratio was below the medians, and that for Emerging Markets Portfolio and Intermediate Duration Portfolio, the pro forma expense ratio was below the medians. They noted that the expense ratio for Diversified Municipal Portfolio was above the medians and discussed the Adviser’s explanations of the reasons for this. Based on their review, the directors concluded that the expense ratio for each Fund was acceptable.
Economies of Scale
The directors noted that the advisory fee schedule for each Fund contains breakpoints that reduce the fee rates on assets above specified levels and that the net assets of each of New York Municipal Portfolio, California Municipal Portfolio, Diversified Municipal Portfolio and Intermediate Duration Portfolio were above the first breakpoint level. Accordingly, each such Fund’s current effective advisory fee rate reflected a reduction due to the breakpoint and would be further reduced to the extent the net assets of the Fund increase. The directors took into consideration prior presentations by an independent consultant on economies of scale in the mutual fund industry and for the AB Funds, and presentations from time to time by the Adviser concerning certain of its views on economies of scale. The directors also had requested and received from the Adviser certain updates on economies of scale in advance of the Meeting. The directors believe that economies of scale may be realized (if at all) by the Adviser across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a single fund. The directors noted that there is no established methodology for setting breakpoints that give effect to the fund-specific services provided by a fund’s adviser and to the economies of scale that an adviser may realize in its overall mutual fund business or those components of it which directly or indirectly affect a fund’s operations. The directors observed that in the mutual fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. The directors also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that in the case of New York Municipal Portfolio, California Municipal Portfolio, Diversified Municipal Portfolio and Intermediate Duration Portfolio, the Funds’ breakpoint arrangements were acceptable and provide a means for sharing any economies of scale, and in the case of Emerging Markets Portfolio, the Fund’s shareholders would benefit from a sharing of economies of scale in the event the Fund’s net assets exceed a breakpoint in the future.

Notes to Financial Statements
| NOTE 1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end registered investment company. The Fund, which is a Maryland corporation, operates as a series company currently comprised of 6 portfolios (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios” and each individually a “Portfolio”) with the following share classes offered:
| FIXED INCOME MUNICIPAL PORTFOLIO |
||
| Diversified Municipal |
Municipal Class*, Class A, Class C, Advisor Class and Class Z | |
| FIXED INCOME TAXABLE PORTFOLIO |
||
| AB Core Bond** |
Core Bond Class* and Class Z | |
| * | Bernstein Class |
| ** | Formerly known as Intermediate Duration. |
| OVERLAY PORTFOLIOS |

| Tax-Aware Overlay A |
Class 1 and Class 2 | |
| Overlay B |

| Tax-Aware Overlay B |
Class 1 and Class 2 | |
Each Portfolio has its own investment objectives. Each class of shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that the classes may bear different distribution and transfer agency expenses. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan, as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Portfolio is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios.
| A. | Portfolio Valuation |
Portfolio securities are valued at market value determined on the basis of market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable, at “fair value” as determined in accordance with procedures approved by and under the oversight of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Pursuant to these procedures, AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Adviser”) serves as the Portfolios’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. In this capacity, the Adviser is responsible, among other things, for making all fair value determinations relating to the Portfolios’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight.
In general, the market values of securities which are readily available and deemed reliable are determined as follows: securities listed on a national securities exchange (other than securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”)) or on a foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange or foreign securities exchange. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the last traded price from the previous day. Securities listed on more than one exchange are valued by reference to the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; securities listed only on NASDAQ are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price; listed and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options, including flexible exchange-traded options (“Flex Options”), are typically valued at transaction price on the trade date. On days when a trade does not occur, these options are valued using models that consider the terms of the option and relevant market inputs; open futures are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the most recent quoted bid price. If there are no quotations available for the day of valuation, the last available closing settlement price is used; U.S. Government securities and any other debt instruments having 60 days or less remaining until maturity are generally valued at market by an independent pricing vendor, if a market price is available. If a market price is not available, the securities are valued at amortized cost. This methodology is commonly used for short-term securities that have an original maturity of 60 days or less, as well as
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
95 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
short-term securities that had an original term to maturity that exceeded 60 days. In instances when amortized cost is utilized, the Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) must reasonably conclude that the utilization of amortized cost is approximately the same as the fair value of the security. Factors the Committee will consider include, but are not limited to, an impairment of the creditworthiness of the issuer or material changes in interest rates. Fixed-income securities, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service or at a price obtained from one or more of the major broker-dealers. In cases where broker-dealer quotes are obtained, the Adviser may establish procedures whereby changes in market yields or spreads are used to adjust, on a daily basis, a recently obtained quoted price on a security. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent pricing services, independent pricing models using market inputs, as well as third party broker-dealers or counterparties. Open-end mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share, while exchange traded funds are valued at the closing market price per share.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as deemed appropriate by the Adviser. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents. In addition, the Portfolios may use fair value pricing for securities primarily traded in non-U.S. markets because most foreign markets close well before the Portfolios value their securities at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim and may materially affect the value of those securities. To account for this, the Portfolios generally value many of their foreign equity securities using fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools to the extent available.
| B. | Fair Value Measurements |
In accordance with U.S. GAAP regarding fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability (including those valued based on their market values as described in Note A above). Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Portfolios. Unobservable inputs reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| • | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| • | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The fair value of debt instruments, such as bonds, and over-the-counter derivatives is generally based on market price quotations, recently executed market transactions (where observable) or industry recognized modeling techniques and are generally classified as Level 2. Pricing vendor inputs to Level 2 valuations may include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, interest rate curves, coupon rates, currency rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, default rates, credit spreads and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows which are then discounted to calculate fair values. If these inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value, these investments will be classified as Level 3.
Where readily available market prices or relevant bid prices are not available for certain equity investments, such investments may be valued based on similar publicly traded investments, movements in relevant indices since last available prices or based upon underlying company fundamentals and comparable company data (such as multiples to earnings or other multiples to equity). Where an investment is valued using an observable input, such as another publicly traded security, the investment will be classified as Level 2. If management determines that an adjustment
| 96 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
is appropriate based on restrictions on resale, illiquidity or uncertainty, and such adjustment is a significant component of the valuation, the investment will be classified as Level 3. An investment will also be classified as Level 3 where management uses company fundamentals and other significant inputs to determine the valuation.
Options are valued using market-based inputs to models, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency, where such inputs and models are available. Alternatively, the values may be obtained through unobservable management determined inputs and/or management’s proprietary models. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an option depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the option as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. Exchange traded options will be classified as Level 2. For options that do not trade on an exchange but trade in liquid markets, inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. Options are classified within Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy when all of the significant inputs can be corroborated to market evidence. Otherwise such instruments are classified as Level 3.
Valuations of mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities, by pricing vendors, are based on both proprietary and industry recognized models and discounted cash flow techniques. Significant inputs to the valuation of these instruments are: the value of collateral, the rates and timing of delinquencies, the rates and timing of prepayments, and default and loss expectations, which are driven in part by housing prices for residential mortgages. Significant inputs are determined based on relative value analyses, which incorporate comparisons to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles, including relevant indices. Mortgage and asset-backed securities for which management has collected current observable data through pricing services are generally categorized within Level 2. Those investments for which current observable data has not been provided are classified as Level 3.
Other fixed income investments, including non-U.S. government and corporate debt, are generally valued using quoted market prices, if available, which are typically impacted by current interest rates, maturity dates and any perceived credit risk of the issuer. Additionally, in the absence of quoted market prices, these inputs are used by pricing vendors to derive a valuation based upon industry or proprietary models which incorporate issuer specific data with relevant yield/spread comparisons with more widely quoted bonds with similar key characteristics. Those investments for which there are observable inputs are classified as Level 2. Where the inputs are not observable, the investments are classified as Level 3.

| (a) | Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards and swaps. Derivative instruments are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument. Other financial instruments may also include swaps with upfront premiums, written options and written swaptions which are valued at market value. |
| (b) | Only variation margin receivable (payable) at period end is reported within the statement of assets and liabilities. This amount reflects cumulative unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures and centrally cleared swaps as reported in the schedule of investments. Where applicable, centrally cleared swaps with upfront premiums are presented here at market value. |
| C. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Amounts related to the purchases and sales of securities, investment income and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents net foreign exchange gains or losses from the disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
101 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
losses arising from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, other than security investments, at the current exchange rate are reflected as part of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currencies.
The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. The Portfolios do isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of securities sold during the year, as required by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Portfolios may invest in foreign securities and foreign currency transactions that may involve risks not associated with domestic investments as a result of the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability, among others.
| D. | Taxes |
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as they apply to regulated investment companies. By so complying, each Portfolio will not be subject to federal and state income taxes to the extent that all of its income is distributed. The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation as such income and/or gains are earned based on, management’s understanding of applicable local tax law.
In consideration of recent decisions rendered by the European courts, certain Portfolios filed reclaims to recover taxes withheld on dividends earned from certain European Union countries during calendar years 2008 through 2022. These filing are subject to various administrative and judicial proceedings within these countries. No other amounts for additional tax reclaims are disclosed in the financial statements due to the uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these reclaims, and the potential timing of payment.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (the current and the prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, the Portfolios did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
| E. | Security Transactions and Related Investment Income |
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the buy or sell order is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date at the fair value of the securities received. The Portfolios amortize premiums and accrete discounts as adjustments to interest income. The Portfolio accounts for distributions received from real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments or from regulated investment companies as dividend income, realized gain, or return of capital based on information provided by the REIT or the investment company.
| F. | Securities Transactions on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis |
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis. At the time a Portfolio commits to purchase a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will record the transaction and use the security’s value in determining the Portfolio’s net asset value. At the time a Portfolio commits to sell a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Portfolio will record the transaction and exclude the security’s value in determining the Portfolio’s net asset value.
| G. | Class Allocations |
All income earned and expenses incurred by the Portfolios are borne on a pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest in the Portfolio represented by the shares of such class, except for class specific expenses which are allocated to the respective class. Expenses of the Fund are charged proportionately to each Portfolio
| 102 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
or based on other appropriate methods. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the various share classes based on respective net assets.
| H. | Distribution of Income and Gains |
Dividends from net investment income, if any, will be paid to shareholders at least once a year.
Distributions of net realized gains, less any available loss carryforwards, if any, for all the Portfolios will be paid to shareholders at least once a year, and recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Elements of realized gains and net investment income may be recorded in different accounting periods for financial reporting (book) and federal income tax (tax) purposes (temporary differences). To the extent that such distributions required for tax purposes exceed income and gains recorded for book purposes as a result of such temporary differences, “excess distributions” are reflected in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities. To the extent distributions exceed income and gains for tax purposes, such distributions would be shown as “return of capital” on the statement of changes in net assets. Certain other differences—permanent differences—arise because treatment of elements of income and gains is different between book and tax accounting. Permanent differences are reclassified in the year they arise.
| I. | Cash and Short-Term Investments |
Cash and short-term investments include cash on hand and short-term investments with maturities of less than one year when purchased.
| J. | Segment Information |
Each Portfolio represents a single operating segment. An operating segment is defined in U.S. GAAP as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Portfolios’ President is the CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Portfolios as a whole and the pre-determined Portfolios’ long term investment strategy, which is executed by the portfolio management group. The qualitative and quantitative information contained within the financial statements is used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Portfolios’ comparative benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment assets are reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities and segment expenses are listed on the statement of operations.
| NOTE 2. | Investment Management and Transactions with Affiliated Persons |
| A. | Management Fee |
Under the Investment Management Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser manages the investment of each Portfolio’s assets, places purchase and sale orders, and bears various expenses, including the salaries and expenses of all personnel except those of outside directors. In addition, the Adviser agrees to permit its directors, officers and employees who may be elected directors or officers of the Fund to serve in the capacities to which they are elected. The Adviser renders these services subject to the general oversight of the Board.
The Portfolios pay the Adviser an investment management fee at an annual rate of 0.90% of the first $2.5 billion, 0.875% of the next $2.5 billion and 0.85% in excess of $5 billion for Overlay A and Tax-Aware Overlay A; 0.65% for Overlay B and Tax-Aware Overlay B, of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
103 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Adviser has agreed to waive its fees and bear certain expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and other than the advisory fees of any registered funds advised by the Adviser in which a Portfolio may invest, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commission, and other transaction costs, to the extent necessary to limit the total portfolio operating expenses as a percentage of daily average net assets on an annual basis as follows:
| PORTFOLIO | CLASS 1 | CLASS 2 | ||||||
| Overlay A |
1.20 | % | 1.00 | % | ||||
| Tax-Aware Overlay A |
1.20 | % | 1.00 | % | ||||
| Overlay B |
0.90 | % | 0.75 | % | ||||
| Tax-Aware Overlay B |
0.90 | % | 0.75 | % | ||||
This fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement will remain in effect until January 31, 2027, and then may be extended by the Adviser for additional one year terms. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, there were no such reimbursements/waivers.
Effective November 14, 2025, the Adviser put in place a voluntary expense limitation to prevent total operating expenses from exceeding 0.84% of average daily net assets for Class 1 of the Overlay A and Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolios, and 0.77% of average daily net assets for Class 1 of the Overlay B and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolios respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, such reimbursements/waivers for the Overlay A Portfolio, Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio, Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio amounted to $447,503, $731,714, $180,881 and $137,335, respectively.
| B. | Shareholder Servicing Fee |
Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser pays expenses it incurs in providing shareholder servicing to the Fund, the Portfolios and individual shareholders. Such services include, but are not limited to, providing information to shareholders concerning their fund investments, systematic withdrawal plans, fund dividend payments and reinvestments, shareholder account or transactions status, net asset value of shares, fund performance, fund services, plans and options, fund investment policies, portfolio holdings and tax consequences of fund investments; dealing with shareholder complaints and other correspondence relating to fund matters; and communications with shareholders when proxies are being solicited from them with respect to voting their fund shares.

| B. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
Each Portfolio may use derivatives in an effort to earn income and enhance returns, to replace more traditional direct investments, to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets (collectively, “investment purposes”), or to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio.
The principal types of derivatives utilized by the Portfolios, as well as the methods in which they may be used are:
| • | Futures |
Each Portfolio may buy or sell futures for investment purposes or for the purpose of hedging its portfolio against adverse effects of potential movements in the market. The Portfolios bear the market risk that arises from changes in the value of these instruments and the imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures and movements in the price of the assets, reference rates or indices which they are designed to track. Among other things, the Portfolios may purchase or sell futures for foreign currencies or options thereon for non-hedging purposes as a means of making direct investment in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions”.
At the time a Portfolio enters into futures, a Portfolio deposits with the broker or segregates at its custodian cash or securities as collateral to satisfy initial margin requirements set by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, with respect to cash collateral, the Portfolios agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract; in the case of securities collateral, the Portfolio agrees to adjust the securities position held in the segregated account accordingly. Such receipts, payments or adjustments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded
| 108 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
futures is generally less than privately negotiated futures, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, has robust risk mitigation standards, including the requirement to provide initial and variation margin. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the time it was closed.
Use of long futures subjects the Portfolios to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the statement of assets and liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures. Use of short futures subjects the Portfolios to unlimited risk of loss. Each Portfolio may enter into futures only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transactions; therefore, the Portfolios’ credit risk is subject to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of futures can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios held futures for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
| • | Forward Currency Exchange Contracts |
Each Portfolio may enter into forward currency exchange contracts on either a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis. Spot contracts are entered into at the rate then prevailing in the currency-exchange market. Forward currency exchange contracts obligate the contracting parties to purchase or sell a specific currency at a specified future date at a specified price. The Portfolios will generally not enter into a forward currency exchange contract with a term greater than one year. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions exchange contracts. Fluctuations in the value of open forward currency exchange contracts are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation by the Portfolio. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Forward currency exchange contracts used to protect the Portfolios from adverse currency movements involve the risk that the Adviser may not accurately predict currency movements. As a result, total return could be adversely affected. The Adviser may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps and other options. The Adviser may enter into foreign currency transactions for investment opportunities when it anticipates that a foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value.
Under certain circumstances, the Portfolios may commit a substantial portion or the entire value of the Portfolios to the consummation of these contracts. The Adviser will consider the effect that a substantial commitment of assets to forward currency exchange contracts would have on the investment program of the Portfolios and the flexibility of the Portfolios to purchase additional securities.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios held forward currency exchange contracts for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
| • | Option Transactions |
For hedging and investment purposes, each Portfolio may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on U.S. and foreign securities, including government securities, and foreign currencies that are traded on U.S. and foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. Among other things, certain Portfolios may use options transactions for non-hedging purposes as a means of making direct investments in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions” and may use options strategies involving the purchase and/or writing of various combinations of call and/or put options, for hedging and investment purposes.
The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Portfolios pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Portfolios bear the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. If a put or call purchased option by the Portfolios were permitted to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Portfolios. Put and call purchased options are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
109 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
When a Portfolio writes an option, the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option. The Portfolios’ maximum payment for written put options equates to the number of shares multiplied by the strike price. In certain circumstances maximum payout amounts may be partially offset by recovery values of the respective referenced assets and upfront premium received upon entering into the contract. Premiums received from written options which expire unexercised are recorded by the Portfolios on the expiration date as realized gains from written options. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium received is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium received is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Portfolios have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium received reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Portfolios. In writing an option, the Portfolios bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option by the Portfolios could result in the Portfolios selling or buying a security or currency at a price different from the current market value.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios held purchased options for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
| • | Swaps |
Each Portfolio may enter into swaps to hedge their exposure to interest rates, credit risk, or currencies. Certain Portfolios may also enter into swaps for non-hedging purposes as a means of gaining market exposures, including by making direct investments in foreign currencies, as described below under “Currency Transactions.” A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. In addition, collateral may be pledged or received by the Portfolios in accordance with the terms of the respective swaps to provide value and recourse to the Portfolios or their counterparties in the event of default, bankruptcy or insolvency by one of the parties to the swap.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap to comply with the terms of the swap. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interim payment to be received by the Portfolios, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Portfolios consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap in evaluating potential counterparty risk. This risk is mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Portfolios and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Portfolios to cover the Portfolios’ exposure to the counterparty. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying securities. The Portfolios accrue for the interim payments on swaps on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swaps on the statement of assets and liabilities, where applicable. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/(loss) on swaps on the statement of operations, in addition to any realized gain/(loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps. Upfront premiums paid or received for swaps are recognized as cost or proceeds on the statement of assets and liabilities and are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the contract. Amortized upfront premiums are included in net realized gain/(loss) from swaps on the statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swaps are recorded as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swaps on the statement of operations.
Certain standardized swaps, including certain interest rate swaps and credit default swaps are (or soon will be) subject to mandatory central clearing. Cleared swaps are transacted through futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) that are members of central clearinghouses, with the clearinghouse serving as central counterparty, similar to transactions in futures contracts. Centralized clearing will be required for additional categories of swaps on a phased-in basis based on requirements published by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
At the time the Portfolios enter into a centrally cleared swap, the Portfolios deposit with the broker or segregates at is custodian cash or securities as collateral to satisfy initial margin requirements set by the clearinghouse on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, with respect to cash collateral, the Portfolios agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract; in the case of securities collateral, the Fund agrees to adjust the securities position held in the segregated account accordingly. Such receipts, payments or adjustments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses.
| 110 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for centrally cleared swaps is generally less than non-centrally cleared swaps, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each centrally cleared swap, has robust risk mitigation standards, including the requirement to provide initial and variation margin. When the contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the time it was closed.
Interest Rate Swaps:
Each Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Portfolios hold fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Portfolios may enter into interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional amount. The Portfolios may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate, or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional amount.
In addition, a Portfolio may also enter into interest rate swap transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or protecting against an increase in the price of securities the Portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) computed based on a contractually-based principal (or “notional”) amount. Interest rate swaps are entered into on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with the Portfolio receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments).
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Overlay B and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolios held interest rate swaps for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
Inflation (CPI) Swaps:
Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index (the Consumer Price Index with respect to CPI swaps) over the term of the swap (with some lag on the inflation index), and the other pays a compounded fixed rate. Inflation swaps may be used to protect the net asset value, or NAV, of a Portfolio against an unexpected change in the rate of inflation measured by an inflation index since the value of these agreements is expected to increase if there are unexpected inflation increases.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolios held inflation (CPI) swaps for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
Credit Default Swaps:
Each Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps, including to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults by corporate and sovereign issuers held by the Portfolios, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed. The Portfolios may purchase credit protection (“Buy Contract”) or provide credit protection (“Sale Contract”) on the referenced obligation of the credit default swap. During the term of the swap, the Portfolios receive/(pay) fixed payments from/(to) the respective counterparty, calculated at the agreed upon rate applied to the notional amount. If a Portfolio is a buyer/(seller) of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap, the Portfolios will either (i) receive from the seller/(pay to the buyer) of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap (the “Maximum Payout Amount”) and deliver/(take delivery of) the referenced obligation or (ii) receive/(pay) a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation. In certain circumstances Maximum Payout Amounts may be partially offset by recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront premium received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from settlement of buy protection credit default swaps entered into by the Portfolios for the same referenced obligations with the same counterparty.
Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. If a Portfolio is a buyer of protection and no credit event occurs, it will lose the payments it made to its counterparty. If a Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the value of the referenced obligation received by the Portfolio coupled with the periodic payments previously received, may be less than the Maximum Payout Amount it pays to the buyer, resulting in a net loss to the Portfolio.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
111 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Implied credit spreads over U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturity utilized in determining the market value of credit default swaps on issuers as of period end are disclosed in the schedule of investments. The implied spreads serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and typically reflect the market’s assessment of the likelihood of default by the issuer of the referenced obligation. The implied credit spread of a particular reference obligation also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Widening credit spreads typically represent a deterioration of the referenced obligation’s credit soundness and greater likelihood of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced obligation.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios held credit default swaps for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
Total Return Swaps:
Each Portfolio may enter into total return swaps in order to take a “long” or “short” position with respect to an underlying referenced asset. A Portfolio is subject to market price volatility of the underlying referenced asset. A total return swap involves commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent that the total return of the security, group of securities or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios held total return swaps for hedging and non-hedging purposes.
A Portfolio typically enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to OTC counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Portfolio typically may offset with the OTC counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. In the event of a default by an OTC counterparty, the return of collateral with market value in excess of a Portfolio’s net liability, held by the defaulting party, may be delayed or denied.
A Portfolio’s ISDA Master Agreements may contain provisions for early termination of OTC derivative transactions in the event the net assets of a Portfolio decline below specific levels (“net asset contingent features”). If these levels are triggered, a Portfolio’s OTC counterparty has the right to terminate such transaction and require the Portfolio to pay or receive a settlement amount in connection with the terminated transaction. If OTC derivatives were held at period end, please refer to netting arrangements by the OTC counterparty tables below for additional details.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Portfolios had entered into the following derivatives:

For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the statement of assets and liabilities.
All OTC derivatives held at period end were subject to netting arrangements. The following tables present the Portfolios’ derivative assets and liabilities by OTC counterparty net of amounts available for offset under ISDA Master Agreements (“MA”) and net of the related collateral received/pledged by the Portfolios as of March 31, 2026. Exchange-traded derivatives and centrally cleared swaps are not subject to netting arrangements and as such are excluded from the tables.

| C. | Currency Transactions |
The Portfolios may invest in non-U.S. Dollar-denominated securities on a currency hedged or unhedged basis. The Portfolios may seek investment opportunities by taking long or short positions in currencies through the use of currency-related derivatives, including forward currency exchange contracts, futures and options on futures, swaps, and other options. The Portfolios may enter into transactions for investment opportunities when it anticipates that a foreign currency will appreciate or depreciate in value but securities denominated in that currency are not held by the Portfolios and do not present attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also be used when the Adviser believes that it may be more efficient than a direct investment in a foreign currency-denominated security. The Portfolios may also conduct currency exchange contracts on a spot basis (i.e., for cash at the spot rate prevailing in the currency exchange market for buying or selling currencies).
| D. | TBA |
The Portfolios may invest in TBA mortgage-backed securities. A TBA, or “To Be Announced”, trade represents a contract for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities to be delivered at a future agreed-upon date; however, the specific mortgage pool numbers or the number of pools that will be delivered to fulfill the trade obligation or terms of the contract are unknown at the time of the trade. Mortgage pools (including fixed-rate or variable-rate mortgages) guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, or GNMA, the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or FHLMC, are subsequently allocated to the TBA transactions.
| E. | Reverse Repurchase Agreements |
The Overlay B Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase transactions (“RVP”) in accordance with the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”), under which the Portfolio sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. At the time the Portfolio enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish a
| 122 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
segregated account with the custodian containing liquid assets having a value comparable to the repurchase price. Under the MRA and other Master Agreements, the Portfolio is permitted to offset payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/ or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Portfolio in the event of a default. In the event of a default by a MRA counterparty, the Portfolio may be considered an unsecured creditor with respect to any excess collateral (collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price) held by and/or posted to the counterparty, and as such the return of such excess collateral may be delayed or denied. For the period ended September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the payable for the reverse repurchase agreements approximated its fair value. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the reverse repurchase agreements would have been considered as a Level 1 investment. For the period ended March 31, 2026, the average amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding was $1,961,438 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 4.44%. At March 31, 2026, the Portfolio had reverse repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $2,019,254 as reported on the statement of assets and liabilities.

| † | Including accrued interest. |
| * | The actual collateral pledged may be more than the amount reported due to overcollateralization. |
| NOTE 4. | Securities Lending |
The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions. Under the Fund’s securities lending program, all loans of securities will be collateralized continually by cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral will include only securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. If the Fund cannot sell or repledge any non-cash collateral, such collateral will not be reflected in the portfolio of investments. If a loan is collateralized by cash, the Fund will be compensated for the loan from a portion of the net return from the income earned on cash collateral after a rebate is paid to the borrower (in some cases, this rebate may be a “negative rebate” or fee paid by the borrower to the Fund in connection with the loan), and payments are made for fees of the securities lending agent and for certain other administrative expenses. If the Fund receives non-cash collateral, the Fund will receive a fee from the borrower generally equal to a negotiated percentage of the market value of the loaned securities. The Fund will have the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice to the borrower within the normal and customary settlement time for the securities. While the securities are on loan, the borrower is obligated to pay the Fund amounts equal to any dividend income or other distributions from the securities; however, these distributions will not be afforded the same preferential tax treatment as qualified dividends. The Fund will not be able to exercise voting rights with respect to any securities during the existence of a loan, but will have the right to regain ownership of loaned securities in order to exercise voting or other ownership rights. Collateral received and securities loaned are marked to market daily to ensure that the securities loaned are secured by collateral. The lending agent currently invests the cash collateral received in AB Government Money Market Portfolio, an eligible money market vehicle, in accordance with the investment restrictions of the Fund, and as approved by the Board. The collateral received on securities loaned is recorded as an asset as well as a corresponding liability in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The collateral will be adjusted the next business day to maintain the required collateral amount. The amounts of securities lending income from the borrowers and AB Government Money Market Portfolio are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. When the Fund earns net securities lending income from AB Government Money Market Portfolio, the income is inclusive of a rebate expense paid to the borrower. In connection with the cash collateral investment by the Fund in AB Government Money Market Portfolio, the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s share of the advisory fees of AB Government Money Market Portfolio, as borne indirectly by the Fund as an acquired fund fee and expense. When the Fund lends securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned.
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
A principal risk of lending portfolio securities is that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities upon termination of the loan and that the collateral will not be sufficient to replace the loaned securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the Fund in the case of default of any securities borrower.

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year.
For tax purposes, net capital losses may be carried over to offset future capital gains, if any. Portfolios are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an indefinite period, and such losses will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

| NOTE 6. | Risks Involved in Investing in the Portfolios |
Market Risk—The Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the risk that stock or bond prices in general or in particular countries or sectors may decline over short or extended periods. Stock or bond prices may decline in response to adverse changes in the economy or the economic outlook; deterioration in investor sentiment; interest rate, currency and commodity price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations; public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness) and regional and global conflicts; cybersecurity events; market disruptions caused by tariffs; trade disputes; measures to address budget deficits; downgrading of sovereign debt; sanctions or other government actions; and other factors.
The United States and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs on various categories of goods imported from the other country, restrictions on investment and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. For example, the current political climate between the United States and China has
| 2026 Semi-Annual Report |
125 | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
intensified concerns about protectionist trade policies and a potential trade war between China and the United States. The United States has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports and placed other restrictions on or barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes, particularly prolonged disputes, may adversely affect the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the companies directly or indirectly affected by the dispute and financial markets generally, and thus may adversely affect the value of the Portfolios’ assets. The United States government has in the recent past acted to prohibit U.S. persons, such as the Portfolios, from owning, and required them to divest, certain Chinese companies designated as related to the Chinese military. There is no assurance that more such companies will not be so designated in the future, which could limit the Portfolios’ opportunities for investment and require the sale of securities at a loss or make them illiquid. Some countries and regions in which the Portfolios invests have strained international relations due to territorial disputes, historical animosities or other defense concerns. Incidents involving a country’s or region’s security may cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect a Portfolios’ investments. For example, the Chinese government is involved in a territorial dispute with Taiwan as well as other territorial disputes; the risk of a forced unification with Taiwan by the Chinese government may adversely affect securities of Chinese, Taiwan-based and other issuers both in and outside the region. If the political climate between the United States, China and other countries in Asia continues to deteriorate, economies and markets may be adversely affected.
Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union; potential trade imbalances with China or other countries; or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations, or individuals or companies (or countermeasures taken in response to such sanctions), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, armed conflict, including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, terrorism, natural disasters (including the spread of infectious illness) and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. Following Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the European Union and the regulatory bodies of certain other countries instituted numerous sanctions against certain Russian individuals and Russian entities. These sanctions, and other intergovernmental actions that may be undertaken against Russia in the future, may result in the devaluation of Russian currency, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, and a decline in the value and liquidity of Russian stocks. These sanctions could result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, including securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts, impairing the ability of the Portfolio to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Retaliatory action by the Russian government could involve the seizure of US and/or European residents’ assets and any such actions are likely to impair the value and liquidity of such assets. The continued disruption of the Russian economy has had severe adverse effects on the region and beyond, including significant negative impacts on the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors. As a result, whether or not the Portfolios invest in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Portfolios’ investments may be negatively affected.
Capital Gain Risk—As of the date of this Prospectus, a substantial portion of the Portfolio’s net asset value is attributable to realized and/or net unrealized capital gains on portfolio securities. If the Portfolio realizes capital gains in excess of realized capital losses in any fiscal year, it generally expects to make capital gain distributions to shareholders. You may receive distributions that are attributable to appreciation of portfolio securities that happened before you made your investment. Unless you purchase shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA or 401(k) plan), these distributions will be taxable to you even though they economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. You should consult your tax professional about your investment in the Portfolio.
Management Risk—The Portfolios are subject to management risk because they are actively-managed investment portfolios. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Portfolios, but these techniques, analyses and decisions may not work as intended or may not produce the desired results, and may, during certain periods, result in increased volatility for the Portfolios or cause the value of the Portfolios’ shares to go down. In some cases, derivatives and other investment techniques may be unavailable or the Adviser may determine not to use them, possibly even under market conditions where their use could benefit the Portfolios. Some of these
| 126 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
techniques may incorporate, or rely upon, quantitative models, but there is no guarantee that these models will generate accurate forecasts, reduce risk or otherwise perform as expected. In addition, the Adviser may change the Portfolios’ investment strategies or policies from time to time. Those changes may not lead to the results intended by the Adviser and could have an adverse effect on the value or performance of the Portfolios.
Allocation Risk—The allocation of investments among different global asset classes may have a significant effect on the Portfolios’ net asset value (“NAV”) when one of these asset classes is performing more poorly than others. The use of dynamic asset allocation strategies by the Adviser may result in less favorable performance than if such strategies had not been used. As direct investments, investments in other funds and derivative positions will be periodically rebalanced to reflect the Adviser’s view of market and economic conditions, there will be transaction costs which may be, over time, significant. In addition, there is a risk that asset allocation decisions may not achieve the desired results and, as a result, the Portfolios may incur significant losses.
Derivatives Risk—The Portfolios intend to use derivatives as direct investments to earn income, enhance return and broaden portfolio diversification, which entail greater risk than if used solely for hedging purposes. While hedging can guard against potential risks, there is also a risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. In addition to other risks such as the credit risk of the counterparty (the party on the others side of the transaction), derivatives involve the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate with relevant assets, rates or indices. Derivatives may be difficult to price or unwind, and small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Portfolios. A short position in a derivative instrument involves the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying asset, reference rate or index, which could cause the Portfolios to suffer a potentially unlimited loss. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Assets required to be set aside or posted as margin or collateral for derivatives positions may themselves go down in value, and these collateral and other requirements may limit investment flexibility. Some derivatives involve leverage, which can make the Portfolios more volatile and can compound other risks. Derivatives, especially over-the-counter derivatives, are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty on a derivative transaction will be unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations to the Portfolios. Use of derivatives may have different tax consequences for the Portfolios than an investment in the underlying asset or index, and such differences may affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to shareholders. The US government and certain foreign governments have adopted regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives as well as additional regulations governing margin, reporting and registration requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance, or disrupt markets.
Leverage Risk—Leverage creates exposure to gains and losses in a greater amount than the dollar amount made in an investment by attempting to enhance return or value without increasing the investment amount. Leverage can magnify the effects of changes in the value of the Portfolios’ investments and make it more volatile. The use of leverage may cause the Portfolios to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so.
Illiquid Investments Risk—Illiquid investments risk exists when particular investments are difficult or impossible to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Portfolios from purchasing or selling these securities at an advantageous price. In certain cases, governmental actions could prevent sales of securities or repatriation of proceeds. Over recent years, regulatory changes have led to reduced liquidity in the marketplace, and the capacity of dealers to make markets in fixed-income securities has been outpaced by the growth in the size of the fixed-income markets. Illiquid investments risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment, where the value and liquidity of fixed-income securities generally go down. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Portfolios are forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, or to try to limit losses, the Portfolios may be forced to sell at a substantial loss or may not be able to sell at all.
Redemption Risk—The Portfolios may experience heavy redemptions that could cause the Portfolios to liquidate their assets at inopportune times or unfavorable prices or increase or accelerate taxable gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Portfolios’ NAV, or performance, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. Redemption risk is heightened during periods of overall market turmoil.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Mortgage-Related and Asset-Related Securities Risk—Mortgage- and asset-related securities represent interests in “pools” of mortgages or other assets, including consumer loans or receivables held in trust. Mortgage- and asset-related securities are subject to credit, interest rate, prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-related securities. Assets-related securities entail certain risks not presented by mortgage-backed securities, including the risk that it may be difficult to perfect the liens securing any collateral backing certain asset-backed securities.
Prepayment and Extension Risk—Prepayment risk is the risk that a loan, bond or other security might be called or otherwise converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity. If this happens, particularly during a time of declining interest rates or credit spreads, the Portfolios will not benefit from the rise in market price that normally accompanies a decline in interest rates, and may not be able to invest the proceeds in securities providing as much income, resulting in a lower yield to the Portfolios. Conversely, extension risk is the risk that as interest rates rise or spreads widen, payments of securities may occur more slowly than anticipated by the market. If this happens, the values of these securities may go down because their interest rates are lower than current market rates and they remain outstanding longer than anticipated.
Subordination Risk—The Portfolios may invest in securities that are subordinated to more senior securities of an issuer, or which represent interests in pools of such subordinated securities. Subordinated securities will be disproportionately affected by a default or even a perceived decline in creditworthiness of the issuer. Subordinated securities are more likely to suffer a credit loss than non-subordinated securities of the same issuer, any loss incurred by the subordinated securities is likely to be proportionately greater, and any recovery of interest or principal may take more time.
Municipal Market Risk—This is the risk that special factors may adversely affect the value of municipal securities and have a significant effect on the yield or value of the Portfolios’ investments in municipal securities. These factors include economic conditions, political or legislative changes, uncertainties related to the tax status of municipal securities, and the rights of investors in these securities. The value of municipal securities may also be adversely affected by health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. There have been some municipal issuers that have defaulted on obligations, been downgraded or commenced insolvency proceedings. To the extent the Portfolios invests in a particular state’s municipal securities, it may be vulnerable to events adversely affecting that state, including economic, political and regulatory occurrences, court decisions, terrorism, public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness) and catastrophic natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and earthquakes, which may be further exacerbated by recent environmental conditions and climate change patterns. The Portfolios’ investments in certain municipal securities with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, and not general tax revenues, are subject to the risk that factors affecting the project or facility, such as local business or economic conditions, could have a significant effect on the project’s ability to make payments of principal and interest on these securities.
In addition, changes in tax rates or the treatment of income from certain types of municipal securities, among other things, could negatively affect the municipal securities markets.
The municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico and its government agencies and municipalities may have more risks than those of other U.S. issuers of municipal securities. Puerto Rico continues to face a challenging economic and fiscal environment. If the general economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility and credit quality of Puerto Rican municipal securities could continue to be adversely affected, and the market for such securities may deteriorate further.
Interest-Rate Risk—Changes in interest rates will affect the value of investments in fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the value of existing investments in fixed-income securities tends to fall and this decrease in value may not be offset by higher income from new investments. Interest-rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Portfolios performance. In addition, changes in monetary policy may exacerbate the risks associated with changing interest rates.
Credit Risk—This is the risk that the issuer or the guarantor of a debt security, or the counterparty to a derivatives or other contract, will be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The issuer or guarantor may default, potentially causing a loss of the full principal amount of a security and
| 128 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
accrued interest. The degree of risk for a particular security may be reflected in its credit rating, although credit ratings are opinions and not guarantees of quality. The credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security. Investments in fixed-income securities with lower ratings tend to have a higher probability that an issuer will default or fail to meet its payment obligations, making credit risk greater for medium-quality and lower-rated debt securities. Lower-rated debt securities and similar unrated securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) have speculative elements or are predominantly speculative credit risks. At times when credit risk is perceived to be greater, credit “spreads” (i.e., the difference between the yields on lower quality securities and the yields on higher quality securities) may get larger or “widen”. As a result, the values of the lower quality securities may go down more and they may become harder to sell.
Duration Risk—Duration is a measure that relates the expected price volatility of a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. The duration of a fixed-income security may be shorter than or equal to full maturity of the fixed-income security. Fixed-income securities with longer durations have more interest rate risk and will decrease in price as interest-rates rise. Securities that have final maturities longer than their durations may be affected by increased credit spreads to a far greater degree than their durations would suggest, because they are exposed to credit risk until final maturity.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk—Investments in foreign securities entail significant risks in addition to those customarily associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as less liquid, less transparent, less regulated and more volatile markets. These risks include risks related to unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support, economic sanctions and tariffs and potential responses to those sanctions and tariffs, inadequate accounting standards and auditing and financial recordkeeping requirements, lack of information, social instability, armed conflict, and other adverse market, economic, political and regulatory factors, all of which could disrupt the financial markets in which the Portfolios invests and adversely affect the value of the Portfolios’ assets.
Emerging-Markets Securities Risk—The risks of investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities are heightened with respect to issuers in emerging-market countries, because the markets are less developed and less liquid and subject to increased potential for market manipulation, and there may be a greater amount of economic, political and social uncertainty. These risks are even more pronounced in “frontier” markets, which are investable markets with lower total market capitalization and liquidity than the more developed emerging markets. Emerging markets typically have fewer medical and economic resources than more developed countries, and thus they may be less able to control or mitigate the effects of a pandemic, climate change, or a natural disaster.
Foreign Currency Risk—This is the risk that changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency exchange rates may negatively affect the value of the Portfolios investments or reduce the returns of the Portfolios. For example, the value of the Portfolios’ investments in foreign securities and foreign currency positions may decrease if the U.S. Dollar is strong (i.e., gaining value relative to other currencies) and other currencies are weak (i.e., losing value relative to the U.S. Dollar).
Actions by a Few Major Investors—In certain countries, volatility may be heightened by actions of a few major investors. For example, substantial increases or decreases in cash flows of mutual funds investing in these markets could significantly affect local stock prices and, therefore, share prices of the Portfolios.
Commodity Risk—The value of commodity-linked derivatives, exchange traded notes and exchange traded funds may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as changes in climate conditions, drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.
Inflation Risk—This is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the value of the Portfolios’ assets can decline as can the value of the Portfolios’ distributions. This risk is significantly greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities.
Inflation-Protected Securities Risk—The terms of inflation-protected securities provide for the coupon and/or maturity value to be adjusted based on changes in an inflation index. Decreases in the inflation rate or in investors’ expectations about inflation could cause these securities to underperform non-inflation-adjusted securities on a total-return basis. In addition, there can be no assurance that the relevant inflation index will accurately measure the rate of inflation, in which case the securities may not work as intended. These securities may be more difficult to trade or dispose of than other types of securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Lower-rated Securities Risk—Lower-rated securities, or junk bonds/high-yield securities, are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest and greater market risk than higher-rated securities. The capacity of issuers of lower-rated securities to pay interest and repay principal is more likely to weaken than is that of issuers of higher-rated securities in times of deteriorating economic conditions or rising interest rates.
Real Estate Related Securities Risk— Investing in real estate related securities includes, among others, the following risks: possible declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions, including increases in the rate of inflation; possible lack of availability of mortgage funds; overbuilding; extended vacancies of properties; increases in competition, property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from, environmental problems; casualty or condemnation losses; uninsured damages from floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters; limitations on and variations in rents; and changes in interest rates. In addition, global climate change may have an adverse effect on property and security values. Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. Investing in REITs also involves risks similar to those associated with investing in small-capitalization companies. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in a limited volume and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than larger company securities. REIT issuers may also fail to maintain their exemptions from investment company registration or fail to qualify for the “dividends paid deduction” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk—As with other investments, investments in other investment companies, including other AB Mutual Funds and ETFs, are subject to market and management risk. In addition, if the Portfolios acquire shares of investment companies, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Portfolios (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolios invest.
Active Trading Risk—The Portfolio expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities and its portfolio turnover rate may greatly exceed 100%. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction costs, which may negatively affect the Portfolio’s return. In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover may result in substantial short-term gains, which may have adverse tax consequences for Portfolio shareholders.
Tax Risk—There is no guarantee that the income on the Portfolios’ municipal securities will be exempt from regular U.S. federal income, and if applicable, state income taxes. Unfavorable legislation, adverse interpretations by federal or state authorities, litigation or noncompliant conduct by the issuer of a municipal security could affect the tax-exempt status of municipal securities. If the Internal Revenue Service or a state authority determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable requirements, interest from the security could become subject to regular U.S. federal income tax and/or state personal income tax, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, the value of the security could decline significantly, and a portion of the distributions to Portfolio shareholders could be recharacterized as taxable. The U.S. Congress has considered changes to U.S. federal tax law that would, if enacted, have a negative impact on certain types of municipal securities, such as private activity bonds, or would otherwise make investments in municipal bonds less attractive.
Cybersecurity Risk—As the use of the internet and other technologies has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Portfolios have become more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cybersecurity. Cybersecurity incidents can result from deliberate attacks such as gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption, or from unintentional events, such as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Portfolios or their service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Portfolios invest have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Portfolio shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While measures have been developed which are designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity, there is no guarantee that those measures will be effective, particularly since the Portfolios do not control
| 130 | Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. | |
the cybersecurity defenses or plans of their service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which they invest or with which they do business.
Cybersecurity incidents, both intentional and unintentional, may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Portfolio or shareholder assets, Portfolio or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause a Portfolio, the Adviser, and/or the Portfolios’ service providers (including, but not limited to, fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality, or prevent Portfolio investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. A Portfolio and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party service providers. Cybersecurity incidents may result in financial losses to such Portfolio and its shareholders, and substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any future cybersecurity incidents.
Indemnification Risk—In the ordinary course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Portfolios have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnification provisions and expect the risk of loss thereunder to be remote. Therefore, the Portfolios have not accrued any liability in connection with these indemnification provisions.
| NOTE 7. | Joint Credit Facility |
A number of open-end mutual funds and ETFs managed by the Adviser, including the Portfolios, participate in a $325 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing related to redemptions and other short-term liquidity requirements, which will expire on June 23, 2026. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the Facility amount is allocated among the participating portfolios and, with respect to the mutual funds, is paid by the funds. The portion of the commitment fee allocated to the ETFs is paid by the Adviser pursuant to the ETFs’ unitary fee structure. The Portfolios did not utilize the Facility during the six months ended March 31, 2026.
| NOTE 8. | Capital-Share Transactions |
As of March 31, 2026, the Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc., has authorized 17.5 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 2.5 billion shares are allocated to the Overlay Portfolios. Each Class 1 and Class 2 of the Overlay Portfolios with the exception of Class 1 of the Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio, is allocated 300 million shares, Class 1 of the Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio is allocated 400 million shares.

Board Consideration of Investment Management Arrangement
Information Regarding the Review and Approval of the Advisory Agreement in Respect of Each Fund
The disinterested directors (the “directors”) of Sanford C. Bernstein Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved the continuance of the Company’s Advisory Agreement with the Adviser in respect of each of the portfolios listed below (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) at a meeting held in-person on November 4-6, 2025 (the “Meeting”):
| • Overlay A Portfolio | • Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio | |
| • Overlay B Portfolio | • Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio |
Prior to approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement in respect of each Fund, the directors had requested from the Adviser, and received and evaluated, extensive materials. They reviewed the proposed continuance of the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Adviser, who advised on the relevant legal standards. The directors also reviewed additional materials, including comparative analytical data prepared by the Senior Vice President of each Fund. The directors also discussed the proposed continuances in private sessions with counsel.
The directors considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds gained from their experience as directors or trustees of most of the registered investment companies advised by the Adviser, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and competence they have gained from that experience, the Adviser’s initiative in identifying and raising potential issues with the directors and its responsiveness, frankness and attention to concerns raised by the directors in the past, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the AB Funds. The directors noted that they have four regular meetings each year, at each of which they review extensive materials and information from the Adviser, including information on the investment performance of the Funds and the underlying funds advised by the Adviser in which the Funds invest.
The directors also considered all factors they believed relevant, including the specific matters discussed below. During the course of their deliberations, the directors evaluated, among other things, the reasonableness of the advisory fee in respect of each Fund. The directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and different directors may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The directors determined that the selection of the Adviser to manage each Fund and the overall arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, including the advisory fee, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the directors’ determinations included the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided
The directors considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, including the quality of the investment research capabilities of the Adviser and the other resources it has dedicated to performing services for each Fund. The directors noted that the Adviser from time to time reviews each Fund’s investment strategies and from time to time proposes changes intended to improve a Fund’s relative or absolute performance for the directors’ consideration. They also noted the professional experience and qualifications of each Fund’s portfolio management team and other senior personnel of the Adviser. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Adviser’s role in coordinating the activities of each Fund’s other service providers, also was considered. The directors concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each of the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability
The directors reviewed a schedule of the revenues and expenses and related notes indicating the profitability of each Fund to the Adviser for calendar years 2023 and 2024 that had been prepared with an expense allocation methodology arrived at in consultation with an independent consultant at the request of the directors. The directors noted the assumptions and methods of allocation used by the Adviser in preparing fund-specific profitability data and understood that there are a number of potentially acceptable allocation methodologies for information of this type. The directors noted that the profitability information reflected all revenues and expenses of the Adviser’s relationships with the Funds, including

those relating to its subsidiaries that provide shareholder and distribution services to the Funds. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of the profitability of the Advisory Agreement with the profitability of fund advisory contracts for unaffiliated funds because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors. The directors focused on the profitability of the Adviser’s relationships with the Funds before taxes. The directors noted that Overlay B Portfolio was not profitable to the Adviser in 2024. The directors concluded that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with Overlay B Portfolio in 2023 and with each other Fund in the periods reviewed was not unreasonable.
Fall-Out Benefits
The directors considered the other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the underlying funds advised by the Adviser in which the Funds invests, including, but not limited to, benefits relating to shareholder servicing fees paid by the Funds to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser. The directors recognized that the Adviser’s profitability would be somewhat lower without these benefits and that Overlay B Portfolio’s recent unprofitability to the Adviser would be exacerbated without these benefits. The directors understood that the Adviser also might derive reputational and other benefits from its association with the Funds.
Investment Results
In addition to the information reviewed by the directors in connection with the Meeting, the directors receive detailed performance information for each Fund at each regular Board meeting during the year.
At the Meeting, the directors reviewed performance information prepared by an independent service provider (the “15(c) service provider”), showing the performance of the Class 1 shares of each Fund against a group of similar funds (“peer group”) and a larger group of similar funds (“peer universe”), each selected by the 15(c) service provider, and information prepared by the Adviser showing performance of the Class 1 shares against a broad-based securities market index, in each case for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended July 31, 2025 and (in the case of comparisons with the broad-based securities market index) for the period from inception. Based on their review and their discussion with the Adviser of the reasons for the Funds’ underperformance in certain periods reviewed, the directors determined to continue to monitor each Fund’s performance closely.
Advisory Fees and Other Expenses
The directors considered the advisory fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser and information prepared by the 15(c) service provider concerning advisory fee rates payable by other funds in the same category as such Fund. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees payable by other funds. The directors compared each Fund’s contractual effective advisory fee rate with a peer group median and discussed with the Adviser the reasons it was above the median.
The directors considered the schedule of fees charged by the Adviser for services to any sub-advised funds utilizing investment strategies similar to those of the Funds.
In connection with their review of each Fund’s advisory fee, the directors also considered the total expense ratio of the Class 1 shares of each Fund in comparison to the medians for a peer group and a peer universe selected by the 15(c) service provider. The expense ratio of each Fund was based on the Fund’s latest fiscal year and reflected the impact of the Adviser’s expense cap for the Fund. The information provided included a pro forma expense ratio for each Fund’s latest fiscal year adjusted to reflect the Adviser’s proposal to waive a portion of the shareholder servicing fee charged to the Fund’s Class 1 shares to effectively reduce such fee from 0.20% to 0.105% in the case of Overlay A Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio and from 0.15% to 0.105% in the case of Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio. The directors noted that it was likely that the expense ratios of some of the other funds in each Fund’s category were lowered by waivers or reimbursements by those funds’ investment advisers, which in some cases might be voluntary or temporary. The directors view expense ratio information as relevant to their evaluation of the Adviser’s services because the Adviser is responsible for coordinating services provided to the Funds by others. The directors noted that the pro forma expense ratio for each Fund was above the medians. After reviewing and discussing the Adviser’s explanations for this, the directors requested that the Adviser implement voluntary expense limitation agreements capping

total expenses at 0.84% for Overlay A Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio and 0.77% for Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio, and the Adviser agreed to this, effective November 14, 2025.
Economies of Scale
The directors noted that the advisory fee schedule for each of Overlay A Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio contains breakpoints that reduce the fee rates on assets above specified levels. The directors also noted that the advisory fee schedule for each of Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio does not contain breakpoints and that they had previously discussed their strong preference for breakpoints in advisory contracts with the Adviser. The directors took into consideration prior presentations by an independent consultant on economies of scale in the mutual fund industry and for the AB Funds, and presentations from time to time by the Adviser concerning certain of its views on economies of scale. The directors also had requested and received from the Adviser certain updates on economies of scale in advance of the Meeting. The directors believe that economies of scale may be realized (if at all) by the Adviser across a variety of products and services, and not only in respect of a single fund. The directors noted that there is no established methodology for setting breakpoints that give effect to the fund-specific services provided by a fund’s adviser and to the economies of scale that an adviser may realize in its overall mutual fund business or those components of it which directly or indirectly affect a fund’s operations. The directors observed that in the mutual fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. The directors also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all. Having taken these factors into account, the directors concluded that in the case of each of Overlay A Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay A Portfolio, the Fund’s shareholders would benefit from a sharing of economies of scale in the event the Fund’s net assets exceed a breakpoint in the future. In the case of each of Overlay B Portfolio and Tax-Aware Overlay B Portfolio, the directors informed the Adviser they would monitor the Fund’s asset level (which was well below the level at which they would anticipate adding an initial breakpoint) and its profitability to the Adviser and anticipated revisiting the question of breakpoints in the future if circumstances warranted doing so.
