AllianceBernstein Reports March 2025 Assets Under Management
In a recently released report, AllianceBernstein L.P., along with its parent company AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB), disclosed that its preliminary assets under management (AUM) have decreased to $784 billion as of March 31, 2025. This figure marks a decline from $805 billion at the conclusion of February 2025.
Understanding the Numbers
The notable decrease of approximately 2.6% can be attributed to various factors affecting the market dynamics. The firm reported that net inflows were observed across its three channels: Institutional, Retail, and Private Wealth. However, these inflows were offset by market depreciation during the month, which ultimately impacted the overall AUM negatively.
For the first quarter ending March 2025, AllianceBernstein noted preliminary firmwide net inflows totaling $2.3 billion. This indicates that, despite the market challenges, the firm managed to attract new assets during this period.
