AllianceBernstein Announces August 31, 2011 Assets Under Management

New York, NY, September 13, 2011 – AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management decreased to $433 billion from $456 billion during August 2011. The 5% decline was driven by negative investment returns and net asset outflows across the firm’s three distribution channels, with Retail in particular affected by the month’s volatile capital markets.
