LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS ALLIANCE WORLDWIDE PRIVATIZATION FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 10, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
With a few notable exceptions, the majority of the world's privatization
programs remain on schedule despite less than favorable current market
conditions. By the end of 1994, the volume of privatization deals had climbed
to a record total of $57 billion. Western Europe has maintained its position
as the leading area of privatization activity, accounting for approximately
53% of total volume; the remainder is divided roughly equally between the
Asia/Pacific region, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We currently estimate
the total market value of privatization issues at above $200 billion and
anticipate that it could more than double over the next three years.
Your Fund has been actively engaged in new initial public offerings (IPOs)
over recent months and in terms of securities allocations, we have been very
encouraged by the response Alliance has received from underwriters.
Importantly, there has been a significant number of new privatizations in
which we have declined to participate, most notably Japan Telecom, Japan
Tobacco in Tokyo and Huan Eng in China. We believe these transactions were
overpriced and their subsequent market performance reinforces our belief that
the ability to analyze privatization transactions and evaluate their
individual investment merits is extremely important in order to add value for
shareholders.
The recent shakeout in emerging markets following the Mexican financial
crisis in late December looks unlikely to result in a decline in the pace of
privatization in the developing markets area. In fact, part of the Mexican
government's commitment to potential lenders is the proposal to speed up the
privatization process.
PRIVATIZATION OUTLOOK
Your Fund's portfolio remains broadly exposed in terms of country, industry
and security. On an industry basis, telecommunications and power utilities
continue to dominate the new issue volume, although your Fund has no more
than 15% of its assets invested in any one industry.
In the context of rising growth rates outside of the U.S. and continued and
sustained rates of inflation, we believe the fundamental environment for
equities remains sound. Consequently we look forward to participating in
future privatization offerings, notably in the Middle East, Russia and
Africa, given attractive initial pricing.
Clearly some stabilization of the current malaise inflicting the world's
stock markets is a precondition for successful offerings this year. In this
regard, we remain optimistic. World growth is moving upwards and corporate
earnings remain strong. We see little evidence of a significant renewed burst
of inflation during 1995 as unit labor costs remain subdued. Consequently, we
anticipate an improved environment in the fixed income arena during the year
and a subsequent positive effect on equity values.
In this environment we anticipate privatization issues will continue to
outperform. The relatively strong financial performance of newly privatized
securities remains intact and the potential for cost cutting and price
improvement is good.
INVESTMENT RESULTS
For the six months ended December 31, 1994, Alliance Worldwide Privatization
Fund had total returns of +2.36% (Class A) and +2.05% (Class B), based on the
net asset value. This compares with a return of -0.79% for the unmanaged
Morgan Stanley EAFE index, a broad measure of stock performance in Europe,
Australia and the Far East. Additional investment results for your Fund
appear on page 2. We appreciate your investment in Alliance Worldwide
Privatization Fund and look forward to updating you on its performance in the
coming months.
Sincerely,
/s/ John D. Carifa

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 (UNAUDITED) ALLIANCE WORLDWIDE PRIVATIZATION FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alliance Worldwide Privatization Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), organized as a
Maryland corporation on March 16, 1994, is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Fund had no operations other than the sale to Alliance Capital
Management L.P. (the "Adviser") of 10,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100
shares of Class B common stock for the aggregate amount of $101,000 on April 6,
1994. Class A and B shares commenced operations on June 2, 1994. The Fund
offers both Class A and Class B shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial
sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred
sales charge which declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time
the shares are held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares
eight years after the end of the calendar month of purchase. Both classes of
shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except
that Class A bears different distribution expenses than Class B and each class
has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
1. SECURITY VALUATION
Portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued. Securities
listed or traded on certain foreign exchanges whose operations are similar to
the U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the price within the limits of
the latest available current bid and asked price deemed best to reflect fair
value. Securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost which approximates market value. Restricted securities are valued at
fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. In determining fair
value, consideration is given to cost, operating and other financial data.
2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Organization expenses of approximately $220,000 have been deferred and are
being amortized on a straight-line basis through June, 1999.
3. CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments
under forward exchange currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at
the mean of the quoted bid and asked price of such currencies against the
U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at
the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold.
Income and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing when
accrued.
Net realized gain on foreign currency transactions of $24,735 represents
foreign exchange gains and losses from the holding of foreign currencies,
exchange gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest and foreign taxes receivable recorded on the Fund's books and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net currency
gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net
unrealized appreciation of investments and foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities.
4. TAXES
It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.
5. INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
accrued daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities
are purchased
13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.) ALLIANCE WORLDWIDE PRIVATIZATION FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or sold. Security gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis.
The Fund accretes discounts on short-term securities as adjustments to interest
income.
6. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.
7. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTION IN SHAREHOLDERS
Effective June 30, 1994, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2
Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income,
Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As
a result, the Fund changed the classification of distributions to
shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statements
amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax
regulations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under an investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays its Adviser, Alliance
Capital Management, L.P., (the "Adviser"), a fee at an annual rate of 1% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. Such fee is accrued daily and paid
monthly. The Adviser has agreed, under the terms of the advisory agreement,
to reimburse the Fund to the extent that its aggregate expenses (exclusive of
interest, taxes, brokerage, distribution fee, extraordinary expenses and
certain other expenses) exceed the limits prescribed by any state in which
the Fund's shares are qualified for sale. The Fund believes that the most
restrictive expense ratio limitation currently imposed by any state is 2.5%
of the first $30 million of its average daily net assets, 2% of the next $70
million of its average daily net assets and 1.5% of its average daily net
assets in excess of $100 million. No such reimbursement was required for the
six months ended December 31, 1994.
The Fund compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Adviser) under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing personnel and
facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Fund.
Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser)
serves as the Distributor of the Fund's shares. The Distributor received
front-end sales charges of $22,576 from the sale of Class A shares and
$39,658 in contingent deferred sales charges imposed upon redemptions by
shareholders of Class B for the six months ended December 31, 1994.
Brokerage commissions paid on securities transactions for the six months
ended December 31, 1994, amounted to $196,215, none of which was paid to
brokers utilizing the services of the Pershing Division of Donaldson, Lufkin
& Jenrette Securities Corp., an affiliate of the Adviser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the
Agreement, the Fund pays a distribution fee to the Distributor at an annual
rate of up to .30 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable
to Class A shares and 1% of the average daily net assets attributable to the
Class B shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. The Agreement
provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their entirety for
distribution assistance and promotional activities. The Distributor has
incurred expenses in excess of the distribution costs reimbursed by the Fund
in the amount of $3,669,683 for Class B shares; such costs may be recovered
from the Fund in future periods so long as the Agreement is in effect. In
accordance with the Agreement, there is no provision for recovery of
unreimbursed distribution costs, incurred by the 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 the Fund's
shares.

ALLIANCE WORLDWIDE PRIVATIZATION FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
investments) aggregated $70,747,896 and $7,822,112, respectively, for the six
months ended December 31, 1994. There were no purchases or sales of U.S.
Government and government agency obligations for the six months ended
December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, the cost of securities for federal
income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes.
Accordingly, gross unrealized appreciation of investments was $3,458,270 and
gross unrealized depreciation of investments was $7,699,857, resulting in net
unrealized depreciation of $4,241,583. Foreign currency losses incurred after
June 2, 1994, within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first
business day of the Fund's next taxable year. In accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code, the Fund incurred and will elect to defer a net currency loss
of $95,253 during such period in fiscal 1994.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE E: CAPITAL STOCK
There are 12,000,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value capital stock authorized,
divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D
shares. Currently only Class A and Class B shares are outstanding.
Each class consists of 3,000,000,000 authorized shares.

NOTE F: Concentration of Risk
Investing in securities of foreign companies involves special risks which
include revaluation of currency and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets
may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S.
companies. The Fund invests in securities issued by enterprises that are
undergoing, or that have undergone, privatization. Privatization is a process
through which the ownership and control of companies or assets changes in whole
or in part from the public sector to the private sector. Through privatization a
government or state divests or transfers all or a portion of its interest in a
state enterprise to some form of private ownership. Therefore, the Fund is
susceptible to the government renationalization of these enterprises and
economic factors adversely affecting the economics of these emerging market
countries. In addition, these securities created through privatization may be
less liquid and subject to greater volatility than securities of more developed
countries.
