AB FCP II

December 15, 2016

Dear Shareholder:

This report provides an update for AB FCP II (formerly named ACM Bernstein Value Investments) (the “Fund”) for the semi-annual reporting period ended November 30, 2016.

Global equities rose during the six-month period ended November 30, 2016. Both emerging-market and US equities recorded healthy gains, while international stocks underperformed (all in US-dollar terms). Strength in the US dollar led to more robust returns for investors in most other base currencies.

In the fixed-income markets, global bonds decreased in absolute terms over the six-month period. Developed-market treasuries generally outperformed emerging-market local-currency government bonds and investment-grade credit securities, but lagged the rally in global high yield. Yields in developed countries generally rose in the period, as UK yields rose from the historic lows seen post the Brexit referendum and US yields experienced a large spike.

The UK’s unexpected decision to leave the European Union led to a steep pullback in both stock and bond markets at the outset. Investors initially eschewed risk-sensitive assets, opting

instead for the perceived safety of government debt. However, most markets beyond Europe stabilized fairly quickly. By the period’s end, investors were surprised when Donald Trump won the US presidential election. While global equity markets gained on the news, emerging markets and fixed-income sectors did not participate in the rally. Investors were left to weigh pro-growth promises from President-elect Trump—including a big fiscal boost, tax reform and a pro-business agenda—against the prospect of higher inflation, a stronger US dollar and a faster pace of interest-rate hikes.

During the period, central banks also played an influential role. To combat potential headwinds from Brexit, the Bank of England cut rates to a record low while launching an aggressive asset purchase program. In contrast, the US Federal Reserve laid the groundwork for another rate hike, which many investors expect before year-end.

We appreciate your investment in the Fund.

Sincerely,

AllianceBernstein (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., the Management Company of the Fund

No adjustment has been made for sales charges that may apply when shares are purchased or redeemed. Performance for distributing share classes includes the reinvestment of distributions paid during the period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

NOTE A: General Information AB FCP II (the “Fund”) is a mutual investment fund (fonds commun de placement) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and registered under Part I of the law of December 17, 2010 relating to undertakings for collective investment, as amended (the “Law of 2010”). Formerly known as ACM Bernstein Value Investments, the fund changed its name to AB FCP II effective February 5, 2016. The Fund is managed in the interest of its co-owners (the “Shareholders”) by AllianceBernstein (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. (the “Management Company”), a company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and having its office registered in Luxembourg. The Fund qualifies as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (a “UCITS”) within the meaning of

Article 1 (2) of the EC Directive 2009/65 of July 13, 2009, as amended.

During the period ended November 30, 2016 the Fund comprised two portfolios (the “Portfolios”).

On November 17, 2016, it was resolved by the board of managers of the Management Company to reduce the maximum initial charges from 6.25% to 5.00% for all class A shares (including all variations and corresponding hedged shares), effective December 15, 2016.

All classes of shares represent an interest in the Portfolios’ investment securities and other net assets. All shares of a class have equal rights as to distributions and redemptions. The following lists the Portfolios’ commencement of operations by share class seeded:

NOTE B: Significant Accounting PoliciesThe financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements for investment funds. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios.

1. Valuation1.1 Investments in SecuritiesSecurities listed on a stock exchange or traded on any other regulated market are valued at the last available price on such exchange or market or, if no such price is available, at the mean of the bid and asked price quoted on such day. If a security is listed on several stock exchanges or markets, the last available price on the stock exchange or market which constitutes the main market for such security is used.

Securities are valued at their current market value determined on the basis of market quotations or, if market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, at “fair value” as determined in accordance with procedures established by, and under the general supervision of, the Management Company’s Board of Managers. Fair valuation procedures are designed to adjust closing market prices of Portfolios securities to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of those securities at the Portfolios’ Valuation Point.

When fair valuation procedures are employed with respect to a particular Portfolio security, various objective and subjective factors may be considered, including, among other things, developments affecting the security or involving an entire market since the security’s latest reported price, current valuations of relevant stock indices or pronouncements of certain governmental authorities. Fair value prices based on third party vendor modeling tools may be utilized to the extent available. Therefore, when fair valuation procedures are employed, the prices of individual Portfolio securities utilized to calculate the Portfolios’ Net Asset Value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Currently fair value adjustments are only applicable to certain equity securities.

Accordingly, as may also be the case with a previously reported stock exchange price, the price of any Portfolio security determined utilizing fair value pricing procedures may be

materially different from the price to be realized upon the sale of such security.

For Portfolio securities primarily traded on U.S. exchanges, it is expected that fair value pricing procedures are employed only under very limited circumstances such as, for example, the early closing of an exchange on which a particular security is traded or the suspension of trading in a particular security. However, it is anticipated that fair value pricing procedures will be utilized frequently for securities traded on non-U.S. exchanges or other markets, particularly European and Asian markets, because, among other reasons, these markets close well before the Portfolios’ Valuation Point. Between the close of these markets and the relevant Portfolios’ Valuation Point, significant events including broad market moves may occur. In particular, events in the U.S. market on a trading day after the close of these other markets may affect the value of the Portfolios’ securities.

Fixed income securities (i), securities not listed on any stock exchange or traded on any regulated market (ii), and securities, trading of which on a stock exchange or a regulated market is thin (iii), are valued at the most recent bid price provided by the principal market makers. If there is no such market price, or if such market price is not representative of a security’s fair market value, then the security is valued in a manner determined to reflect its fair value in accordance with procedures established by, and under the general supervision of, the Management Company’s Board of Managers.

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. Such 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. The Committee

Notes to FiNaNcial statemeNts (continued) AB FCP II

decisions are made in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Management Company’s Board of Managers.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps and other derivatives are valued on the basis of a quoted bid price or spread from major brokers-dealer on such security.

Transaction costs are costs incurred to acquire transferable securities, money market instruments, derivatives or other eligible assets. They can include the bid-ask spread, fees and commission paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, transaction related taxes and other market charges. Transaction costs are included within the cost of investments in the Portfolio of Investments as well as in the net realized gains and (losses) on investments and change in unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Transaction costs are excluded from the Total Expense Ratio and/or expense reimbursement calculation.

1.2 Warrant ValuationA listed warrant is valued at the last traded price provided by approved vendors. If there has been no sale on the relevant business day, the warrant is valued at the last traded price from the previous day. On the following days, the security is valued in good faith at fair value. All unlisted warrants are valued in good faith at fair value. Once a warrant has expired, it will no longer be valued.

1.3 Financial Futures ContractsInitial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures contracts. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received, depending upon whether unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded. This realized appreciation or depreciation is equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract.

Open futures contracts 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 valuations, the last available closing settlement price is used.

1.4 Forward Foreign Currency ContractsThe unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open forward foreign currency contracts is calculated as the difference between the contracted rate and the rate to close out the contract. Realized profit or loss includes net gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts which have been settled or offset by other contracts with the same counterparty.

1.5 Swap AgreementThe Portfolios accrue for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, within income and expenses. Swap contracts are marked to market on a daily basis with fluctuations in value recorded in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swaps in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Once a swap contract has matured or is sold, the net amount is recorded as a realized gain or loss on swaps on the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

2. Allocation MethodIncome, expenses (except for class-specific management fee), realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Portfolios are allocated on each calculation date by each class value of their proportionate shares outstanding. Class-specific management fees are charged directly to the respective class.

3. Currency TranslationValues expressed in a currency other than the currency in which a Portfolio is denominated as determined by the Management Regulations are translated at the average of the last available buying and selling price. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of each Portfolio at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transactions.

The Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities is presented in U.S. dollars at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the Combined Statement of Assets and Liabilities, while the Combined Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets is presented in U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates ruling during the period.

Exchange rates applied in the financial statements are: spot rate 0.943530 and average rate 0.899585 for USD to EUR.

4. Investment Income and Investment TransactionsDividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Investment gains and losses for the Portfolios are determined on the average cost basis. The Fund accretes discounts and amortizes premiums as adjustments to interest income. Investment transactions are recorded on trade date plus one day.

5. EstimatesThe preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE C: TaxesAs a Luxembourg “fonds commun de placement” (“FCP”), the Fund is not subject, under present tax laws, to income, withholding or capital gains taxes in Luxembourg. The Fund is subject to the Luxembourg “taxe d’abonnement” at the rate of 0.05% per annum determined by reference to total net assets as

established on the last day of each quarter. This rate is 0.01% for share classes reserved to institutional investors within the meaning of Article 174 of the Law of 2010. Interest, dividends and capital gains on securities may be subject to withholding or capital gains taxes in certain countries.

NOTE D: Issuance, Redemption and Exchange of SharesIn addition to the shares currently offered, the Fund may offer additional classes of shares in respect of existing Portfolios

and future Portfolios. The Fund retains the right to offer only one class of shares for purchase by investors in any particular jurisdiction.

AB FCP II

NOTE E: DistributionsFor Class A, Class I, Class S and Class S1 Shares of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, the Management Company currently does not intend to pay dividends with respect to the Shares. Therefore, any net income and net realized profits attributable to Class A, Class I, Class S and Class S1 Shares will be reflected in the respective Net Asset Value of the Shares.

For the S1 shares of the Columbus Global Corporate Low Volatility Portfolio (Euro), it is currently intended that the Management Company may pay distributions in respect of the Portfolio to Shareholders quarterly out of investment income and realized and/or unrealized capital gains. For the period ended November 30, 2016, no distributions were made by the Portfolios.

NOTE F: Management Fee and Other Transactions with AffiliatesThe Fund pays the Management Company a management fee. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, from the management fee earned, the Management Company pays an investment management fee to AllianceBernstein L.P. (the “Investment Manager”).

The Management Company has voluntarily agreed to bear certain expenses to the extent necessary to limit total operating expenses of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio on an annual basis. These limitations have been set to 2.25% of the daily average net assets for Class A, 1.45% for Class I, 0.30% for Class S and 1.25% for Classes S1 of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio. There was no expense reimbursement for the period ended November 30, 2016.

The Fund also pays the Management Company an annual management company fee out of the assets of the Portfolios on the aggregate Net Asset Value attributable to the Class S and S1 Shares equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 0.01% of the average daily Net Asset Value. For Class I and A Shares of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio, the Management Company is paid an annual fee out of the assets of the Portfolios on the aggregate Net Asset Value attributable to the Shares equal to 0.10% of average daily Net Asset Value.

The Fund compensates its legal adviser, Elvinger Hoss Prussen (of which Mr. Yves Prussen, a manager of the Management Company, is a partner) for legal services rendered to the Fund.

Payments of $1,965 and €593.15 were made for the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio and the Columbus Global Corporate Low Volatility Portfolio (Euro) respectively for the period ended November 30, 2016.

A list of each Portfolio’s annual rate for their applicable fees can be found in Table 1 (page 19).

The Fund compensates its Registrar and Transfer Agent, AllianceBernstein Investor Services, a unit of AllianceBernstein (Luxembourg) S.à r.l., for providing personnel and facilities to perform registrar and transfer agency services for the Fund. Such compensation amounted to $12,966 for the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio and €2,941, for the Columbus Global Corporate Low Volatility Portfolio (Euro) for the period ended November 30, 2016.

The Fund may compensate the Investment Manager for certain services provided to the Fund in connection with the registration of the Fund for sale in certain jurisdictions outside of Luxembourg, subject to certain conditions. There was no such compensation amount paid for the period ended November 30, 2016.

The Investment Manager has not entered into transactions in relation to a placing and/or a new issue in which a connected person had a material interest as a member of the underwriting syndicate.

All transactions executed on behalf of the Fund were entered into in the ordinary course of business and/or normal commercial terms.

NOTE G: Soft Commission ArrangementsDuring the period ended November 30, 2016, the Investment Manager received and entered into soft-dollar commissions/ arrangements with brokers relating to Portfolios of the Fund that invest in equity securities, in respect of which certain goods and services used to support the investment decision making process were received. The soft commission arrangements were entered into on the basis that the execution of transactions on behalf of the Fund will be consistent with best execution standards and brokerage rates will not be in excess of customary institutional full-service brokerage rates. The goods and services received

include specialist industry, company and consumer research, portfolios and market analysis and computer software used for the delivery of such services. The nature of the goods and services received is such that the benefits provided under the arrangement must be those which assist in the provision of investment services to the Fund and may contribute to an improvement in the Fund’s performance. For the avoidance of doubt, such goods and services do not include travel, accommodations, entertainment, general administrative goods or services, general office equipment or premises, membership fees, employees’ salaries or direct money payments.

NOTE H: Financial Futures ContractsThe Fund may buy or sell financial futures contracts. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of these financial instruments. The Fund’s activities in financial futures contracts are conducted through regulated exchanges, which do not result in counterparty credit risk. At the time the Fund enters into a financial futures contract the Fund deposits and maintains with the broker, “Goldman Sachs & Co” as

collateral an initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected.

Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Cash held by the broker as of November 30, 2016 is recorded as part of cash in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such receipts or payments are known as the variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized

Shareholders may redeem their shares on each Valuation Day. For each Portfolio, the Management Company may impose a

notice period for the subscriptions and redemptions. Details are set forth in the prospectus of Fund (the “Prospectus”).

Notes to FiNaNcial statemeNts (continued) AB FCP II

appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Fund records 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. As of November 30, 2016, Columbus

Global Corporate Low Volatility Portfolio (Euro) had received cash collateral amounting to €144,719 from Goldman Sachs & Co, and had posted out cash collateral amounting to €201,823 to Goldman Sachs & Co.

NOTE J: Swap TransactionsA 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 or otherwise determined notional amount. Realized gains and (losses) and changes in unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) on swaps are included in the Combined Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets respectively under “Realized gain and (losses) on investments, forward foreign currency contracts, swaps, financial futures contracts, options and currency” and “Changes in unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) on swaps”.

A credit default swap represents an agreement in which one party, the protection buyer, pays a fixed fee, the premium, in return for a payment by the other party, the protection seller, contingent upon a specified default event relating to an underlying reference asset or pool of assets. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

As of November 30, 2016, the Columbus Global Corporate Low Volatility Portfolio (Euro) had posted out cash collateral amounting to €3,868,147 to Morgan Stanley. There were no securities received from or posted out to swap counterparties.

NOTE I: Forward Foreign Currency ContractsA forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract is included in net realized gains or losses on investments, forward foreign currency contracts, swaps, and foreign currency.

Fluctuations in the value of open forward foreign currency contracts are reflected, for financial reporting purposes as a component of unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. 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 Portfolios’ Currency. As of November 30, 2016, the Fund had no collateral on forward foreign currency contracts.

NOTE K: Bank FacilityThe Fund has access to an overdraft facility (the “Facility”), established with the Depositary, intended to provide for short- term/temporary financing if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with abnormal redemption activity.

The Portfolios of the Fund are limited to borrowing 10% of their respective net assets. Borrowings pursuant to the Facility are subject to interest at a mutually agreed upon rate and security by the underlying assets of each Portfolio. As of November 30, 2016, the Fund has not utilized the overdraft facility.

NOTE L: Net Asset Value Adjustment PolicyShareholders of the Emerging Markets Value Portfolio are subject to the Net Asset Value Adjustment Policy (“NAV Adjustment Policy”). The Net Asset Value at which investors subscribe or redeem shares in Emerging Markets Value Portfolio on a particular Business Day may not entirely reflect the dealing and other costs that arise when the Investment Manager trades

securities to accommodate the net activity from subscriptions and redemptions. Therefore, the Management Company has adopted a policy to adjust the Net Asset Value. Pursuant to this policy, the Portfolio’s Net Asset Value may be adjusted upward or downward in an amount up to 1%. This adjusted Net Asset Value is applicable to all subscriptions, redemptions and exchanges in shares of all classes on that Business Day.

NOTE M: Broker AccountsAll derivative instruments, as listed in the Portfolio of Investments and notes, H, I and J, are transacted through third

party brokers. These brokers hold the collateral described in those notes. The Fund is exposed to counterparty risk in respect of all amounts including collateral due to it from such brokers.
