Read MoreHide Full Article

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) announced assets under management (AUM) for April 2022. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $685 billion declined 6.8% from the end of March 2022. Market depreciation and total firm-wide net inflows resulted in the fall.

Shares of the company have tanked 6.4% since the announcement of the news.

At the end of April, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM declined 8.8% sequentially to $302 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) was down 5.4% to $105 billion. Further, Fixed Income AUM was $278 billion, which witnessed a 5.1% fall from the end of March 2022.

In terms of channel, month-end Institutions AUM of $305 billion declined 6.4% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $270 billion, which decreased 7.5% from the prior-month end, while Private Wealth AUM fell 6% to $110 billion.

AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid AUM balance are likely to keep boosting top-line growth. Yet, unfavorable market performance remains a drag.

Over the past year, shares of the company have lost 14.4% compared with a 30% decline of the industry.
