AB Announces June 30, 2021 Assets Under Management

Rhea-AI Summary

AllianceBernstein L.P. (AB) announced that its preliminary assets under management rose to $738 billion as of June 30, 2021, up from $731 billion at the end of May. This 1% increase was driven by market appreciation and firm inflows, despite a $1.4 billion net outflow linked to Equitable's legacy variable annuity reinsurance deal with Venerable Holdings. Notably, net inflows in Retail and Private Wealth compensated for Institutional outflows, with no further outflows from AXA S.A.'s fixed-income mandates, now essentially complete.

Positive

• Preliminary assets under management increased by 1% to $738 billion.
• Net inflows from Retail and Private Wealth offset institutional outflows.
• Expected revenue accretion from the Equitable transaction due to favorable fee mix.

Negative

• Net outflow of $1.4 billion related to Equitable's legacy variable annuity reinsurance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AB") and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("AB Holding") (NYSE: AB) today announced that preliminary assets under management increased to $738 billion during June 2021 from $731 billion at the end of May. Market appreciation and firm inflows, net of a $1.4 billion net outflow associated with the close of Equitable's legacy variable annuity reinsurance transaction with Venerable Holdings, Inc., drove the 1% increase. Excluding the impact of this transaction, which is expected to be revenue accretive due to the fee mix of affected assets, net inflows to Retail and Private Wealth were partially offset by net outflows from Institutions. There were no outflows resulting from AXA S.A's ongoing redemption of certain low-fee fixed income mandates; these AXA S.A. redemptions, which began in the first quarter of 2020, are now essentially complete.
