AllianceBernstein Reports Increase in Assets Under Management for February 2026
On March 11, 2026, AllianceBernstein L.P. (commonly known as AB) announced preliminary figures revealing that its assets under management (AUM) climbed to $880 billion by the end of February 2026. This represents an increase from January's AUM total of $875 billion, reflecting a positive growth rate of 0.6% for the month. The rise in AUM is primarily attributed to favorable market conditions, albeit offset by slight net outflows.
Recent performance reflects dynamics across different channels. Specifically, private wealth and institutional accounts saw net inflows, demonstrating a healthy interest from these sectors. Conversely, retail accounts experienced net outflows during the same period. These contrasting trends underscore the varying impacts of market sentiment across different investor bases.
Breakdown of Assets Under Management
As detailed in the announcement, the breakdown of AUM across various segments appears as follows:
- - Total Equities amounted to $355 billion, showing strength in both actively managed and passive equity investments.
- - The fixed income sector held $321 billion, with both taxable and tax-exempt yielding significant contributions.
- - Notably, alternative investments and multi-asset solutions represented a combined figure of $204 billion, emphasizing a core strategic focus as part of AllianceBernstein’s diversified offerings.
