Read MoreHide Full Article

Shares of AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (AB - Free Report) gained 1.7% in after-hours trading following the announcement of assets under management (AUM) for October 2022. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $627 billion increased 2.3% from the end of September 2022.

Market appreciation resulted in the rise in AB’s AUM balance. This was partly offset by total firm-wide net outflows.

At the end of October, AllianceBernstein’s Equity AUM grew 5.9% sequentially to $270 billion. Alternatives/Multi-Asset Solutions AUM (including certain multi-asset services and solutions) rose 3.7% to $113 billion. On the other hand, Fixed Income AUM of $244 billion declined 2% from the end of September 2022.

In terms of channel, October month-end institutions AUM of $284 billion increased 1.8% from the previous month. Retail AUM was $239 billion, which rose 2.6% from the prior-month end. Private Wealth AUM of $104 billion grew 3%.

AllianceBernstein’s global reach and solid AUM balance are likely to keep boosting top-line growth. However, rising operating costs and a challenging operating backdrop are near-term concerns.

Over the past year, shares of the company have lost 36.3% compared with a 25.8% decline of the industry.
