AllianceBernstein Announces January 31, 2011 Assets Under Management

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management increased to $482 billion from $478 billion during January 2011. The 0.8% increase was due to positive investment returns, offset by modest net outflows.

Note that previously reported preliminary assets under management for December 31, 2010, have been adjusted by removing from our AUM an affiliated account (representing approximately $8 billion of assets as of December 31, 2010, and which has traditionally been classified as "Other AUM" within the Institutions channel) for which we serve in an advisory capacity and do not have discretionary trading authority. The large size of the account and the frequency of material monthly inflows and outflows over the past year had the potential to distort observable trends in our overall assets under management. In addition, the fees associated with the account are quite low. We will continue to provide services to this account but will not reflect the assets in future measures of our assets under management. Our originally released preliminary assets under management as of December 31, 2010, inclusive of this account, stood at $486 billion instead of $478 billion. Assets under management as of January 31, 2011, inclusive of this account, would have been $490 billion, instead of $482 billion.
