AllianceBernstein Portfolio holdings
AllianceBernstein is an asset manager that combines two older firms: Sanford C. Bernstein, started in 1967 as a private investment firm, and Alliance Capital, formed in 1971. Alliance Capital came from a merger of the investment management arm of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette with the investment advisory business of Moody's, and it bought Bernstein in 2000. Its own analysts write research for its portfolio managers, and some of its portfolios are long-only while others also take short positions. In 2022 it bought CarVal Investors, a global manager of private alternative investments, and its clients include high net worth individuals, pension plans, charities, insurers and sovereign wealth funds.
