AllianceBernstein Q1 Revenue Reaches $1.2B
Reports Q1 revenue $1.2B vs. $1.08B last year. "The first quarter of 2026 unfolded against a difficult geopolitical backdrop associated with market volatility," said Seth Bernstein, CEO of AllianceBernstein. "Firmwide net active outflows totaled $6.3 billion, reflecting a more risk-averse environment, despite continued momentum across structurally growing areas-including private markets, active ETFs, SMAs, insurance, and wealth management. Active equity outflows remained elevated at $10.9 billion across channels, primarily within growth-oriented US strategies. Our market-leading municipal franchise continued to demonstrate its income-oriented appeal, supported by strong high-net-worth demand, generating $3.3 billion net inflows in the quarter. Taxable fixed income demand diverged by channel and region, with institutional net inflows more than offset by APAC retail net outflows, resulting in $1.7 billion net outflows. Alternatives/multi-asset strategies recorded $3.4 billion net inflows, reflecting continued institutional deployments into private markets and customized retirement solutions, along with multi-asset retail inflows. Compared to prior year, average AUM and advisory base fees grew 8% and 5%, respectively. Adjusted operating income increased 3% and adjusted earnings per Unit and distributions to Unitholders rose 4%."
