AllianceBernstein Reports Increase in Assets Under Management

On October 9, 2025, AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P., known collectively as AB, announced the preliminary figures for their assets under management (AUM) as of September 30, 2025. According to their report, AB's AUM saw a notable increase, rising to $860 billion, up from $844 billion at the end of August 2025. This 2% growth in their month-end AUM was primarily attributed to market appreciation combined with modest net inflows.

AB's report indicated that the gains came even as net inflows from private wealth and institutional clients were partially offset by outflows from retail clients. Notably, around $4.0 billion in outflows were linked to the pre-announced reinsurance transaction involving EQH-RGA, but after accounting for this, the firm-wide net inflows were approximately $1.8 billion for the quarter ending in September 2025.

Breakdown of Assets Under Management

The breakdown of AUM reveals significant trends across different sectors:

Equity Investments

• - Actively Managed Assets: AB's actively managed equity investments included $281 billion, an increase from $276 billion in August.
• - Passive Investments: Their passive equity assets grew to $78 billion, up from $75 billion.

Overall, total equity investments accounted for $359 billion, showing a solid rise compared to $351 billion in the previous month.

Fixed Income Investments

• - Taxable Fixed Income: Remained steady at $214 billion, the same as in August.
• - Tax-Exempt Investments: Increased from $83 billion to $86 billion, indicating a shift in investor preferences.
• - Total Fixed Income: Consequently, AB's total fixed income stood at $310 billion, a slight increase from $307 billion.

Alternatives and Multi-Asset Solutions

Lastly, alternatives and multi-asset solutions accounted for $191 billion, showing growth from $186 billion, which reflects the increasing diversification strategies among investors.

This comprehensive data indicates that while AB faced certain areas of net outflows, particularly in retail, the overall increased AUM signals positive investor sentiment and confidence in the firm’s ability to navigate market fluctuations successfully.

Looking Ahead

As AllianceBernstein continues to strengthen its position in the global investment management landscape, firm management remains cautious about potential risks and uncertainties that could impact future results. These include fluctuations in financial markets, investment performance of managed products, and changes in economic conditions. Management emphasizes the importance of considering these forward-looking statements within the realm of potential risks outlined in their official filings.

In summary, AllianceBernstein's significant increase in assets showcases their robust performance in the investment management sphere, providing insights for investors keen on long-term strategies and market positioning as they prepare for upcoming financial disclosures and market conditions.
