Yahoo Finance AllianceBernstein's (AB) February AUM Down on Weaker Markets
AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. AB has announced assets under management (AUM) for February 2023. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $665 billion decreased 2.2% from the end of January 2023.
Market depreciation resulted in a fall in AB’s AUM balance. This was partly offset by total firm-wide net inflows.
At the end of February, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM declined 3.4% sequentially to $282 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) fell marginally to $125 billion. Further, Fixed Income AUM of $258 billion declined 1.5% from the end of January 2023.
In terms of channel, February month-end institutions AUM of $304 billion decreased 2.3% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $251 billion, which fell 2.3% from the prior month’s end. Also, Private Wealth AUM of $110 billion was down 1.8%.
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 13.1% compared with a 0.5% decline of the industry.
