History
Origins
AllianceBernstein traces its origins back to the founding of Sanford C. Bernstein in 1967 as an investment-management firm for private clients. Sanford C. Bernstein & Company was originally co-founded by Zalman Bernstein, Paul P. Bernstein, Shepard D. Osherow, Roger Hertog and Lewis A. Sanders.
Alliance Capital was founded in 1971 when the investment-management department of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. merged with the investment-advisory business of Moody's Investor Services, Inc.
2000–2020
In October 2000, Alliance Capital acquired Sanford C. Bernstein. Alliance Capital's growth equity and corporate fixed-income investing, and its family of retail mutual funds, accompanied Bernstein's value equity and tax-exempt fixed-income management and its private-client business.
On January 20, 2015, AllianceBernstein announced a new brand name ("AB") and logo.
AllianceBernstein and Fidelity Investments took control of supermarket Winn-Dixie's parent company during the latter's 2018 bankruptcy.
In 2018, AllianceBernstein announced the move of their global headquarters from New York City to Nashville, while also having an office remaining in Midtown in New York City.
In 2019, AllianceBernstein partnered with Columbia University to provide training courses on sustainability and environmental sciences to its staff of investors.
In 2019, Alliance Bernstein was flagged by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement as a subsidiary of AXA through which the French insurance group maintained indirect investments in Elbit Systems and Israeli banks despite a partial divestment by the parent company.
In June 2020, AllianceBernstein acquired investment management firm AnchorPath for $400 million.
Bernstein Account is an account belonging to Bernstein Capital used to carry out transactions in organizations and funds with large net buying and selling volumes that are directly connected to the Vietnam stock exchange without going through an intermediary.
2021–present
In April 2021, AllianceBernstein moved to a new headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. In September 2021, AllianceBernstein gave a $100,000 gift to the Nashville-based Martha O'Bryan Center.
In mid-August 2021, AllianceBernstein disclosed that it had entered a strategic partnership with LSV Advisors, LLC, in which AB would become the exclusive private wealth partner for LSV.
In March 2022, it was announced that AllianceBernstein had acquired the Minneapolis-headquartered CarVal Investors – a global private alternatives investment manager.
