AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) announced assets under management (AUM) for November 2021. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $759 billion declined nearly 1% from $765 billion recorded at the end of the prior month. Market depreciation more than offset total firm-wide net inflows, which led to the fall. Despite the fall in AUM, the company’s shares gained 2.2% following the release.

At the end of November, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM declined 1.4% sequentially to $343 billion. Also, Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) was down 2% to $99 billion. However, Fixed Income AUM was $317 billion, which witnessed a marginal sequential rise from $316 billion recorded at the end of October 2021.

In terms of channel, month-end Institutions AUM of $329 billion was down 1.5% from the previous month. Retail AUM was unchanged from the prior-month end at $311 billion, while Private Wealth AUM fell marginally to $119 billion.

AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid assets balance are likely to boost top-line growth.

Over the past year, shares of the company rallied 58.8% compared with 17.7% growth recorded by the industry.
