Read MoreHide Full Article

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) has announced assets under management (AUM) for April 2024. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $737 billion reflects a 2.9% decline from the end of March 2024.

The decrease was primarily due to market depreciation. This was partly offset by net inflows in the Retail channel. AB recorded net outflows in Institutions and Private Wealth channels.

At the end of April, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM decreased 4.9% on a sequential basis to $313 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) was down 2.1% to $140 billion. Fixed Income AUM of $284 billion declined 1% from the end of March 2024.

In terms of channel, April month-end Institutions AUM of $313 billion decreased 3.1% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $299 billion, down 2.9% from the prior month’s end. Private Wealth AUM of $125 billion decreased 2.3% from the March 2024 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 six months, shares of AB have gained 24% compared with the industry's growth of 27.8%.
