Read MoreHide Full Article

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) has announced assets under management (AUM) for October 2024. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $806 billion reflects a 2% decrease from the end of September 2024.

The fall was primarily due to market depreciation. In October, firmwide net flows were stable.

At the end of October, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM declined 2.1% sequentially to $333 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) was down 2.4% to $163 billion. Fixed Income AUM of $292 billion fell marginally from the end of September.

In terms of channel, October month-end Institutions AUM of $327 billion decreased 2.4% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $330 billion, down 1.5% from September end. Private Wealth AUM was stable at $136 billion.

AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid AUM balance are likely to boost top-line growth. However, rising operating costs and a challenging operating backdrop are near-term concerns. In the past six months, shares of AB have gained 4.7% compared with the industry's rise of 25%.
