Yahoo Finance AllianceBernstein's (AB) April AUM Stable on Upbeat Markets
AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. AB has announced assets under management (AUM) for April 2023. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $676 billion was unchanged from the end of March 2023.
A marginal improvement in market performance was offset by total firm-wide net outflows.
At the end of April, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM increased slightly on a sequential basis to $287 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) remained stable at $126 billion. Further, Fixed Income AUM of $263 billion declined marginally from the end of March 2023.
In terms of channel, April month-end institutions AUM of $304 billion decreased almost 1% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $259 billion, which grew roughly 1% from the prior month’s end. Private Wealth AUM of $113 billion was in line with the March 2023-level.
AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid AUM balance are likely to keep boosting top-line growth. However, rising operating costs and a challenging operating backdrop are near-term concerns.
Over the past six months, shares of the company have lost 13.7% compared with a 14.4% decline of the industry.
