AllianceBernstein's (AB) October AUM Down on Market Depreciation

IVZ AB CNS

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) has announced assets under management (AUM) for October 2023. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $652 billion reflects a 2.5% fall from the end of September 2023.

The decrease was mainly due to market depreciation and firm-wide net outflows.

At the end of October, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM decreased 3.5% on a sequential basis to $273 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) fell 1.6% to $124 billion. Fixed Income AUM of $255 billion was down 1.9% from the end of September 2023.

In terms of channel, October month-end institutions AUM of $288 billion declined 3% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $254 billion, down 1.9% from the prior month’s end. Private Wealth AUM of $110 billion decreased 2.7% from the September 2023 level.

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 major near-term concerns.

Over the past three months, shares of AB have lost 9.9% compared with the industry’s fall of 4.7%.

Currently, AllianceBernstein carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
