AllianceBernstein Announces November 30, 2011 Assets Under Management
 
New York, NY, December 12, 2011 – AllianceBernstein L.P. and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management decreased to $411 billion from $424 billion during November 2011. The 3% decline reflects negative investment returns, including the impact of foreign exchange movements, and net asset outflows across the firm’s three distribution channels. Outflows were concentrated in Institutions and Retail, with a significant share driven by assets leaving the firm in connection with the previously announced dissolution of a joint venture in Australia.
