ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN HOLDING L.P. 8-K filed 2026-09-10

AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. filed an 8-K on 2026-09-10 to furnish a news release under Item 7.01, the Regulation FD disclosure item. The release, attached as Exhibit 99.01, announces the firm's preliminary assets under management as of August 31, 2026. The filing was signed by Mark Manley, Corporate Secretary, and was made by an entity classified as a Large accelerated filer under SIC code 6282, Investment Advice, with shares listed on the NYSE under the ticker AB. The substance is a single monthly data point. Preliminary assets under management increased to $919 billion as of August 31, 2026, from $908 billion at the end of July. The release attributes the 1.2% increase to market appreciation, partially offset by net outflows. By channel, Institutional and Private Wealth generated net inflows, which were offset by net outflows in Retail. The release also breaks assets down by channel and by investment discipline in an accompanying table, which a reader can consult in the source document. For an analyst or a journalist, the value here is the direction of travel rather than the headline total. An asset manager earns fees on the assets it holds, so the split between market appreciation and client flows matters more than the aggregate move, and this release states that the increase came from markets while clients on net took money out. Because the monthly figure is described as preliminary, it is not audited financial results, and no revenue, earnings or fee data appear in this filing. The release notes that as of June 30, 2026, including both general partnership and limited partnership interests, AllianceBernstein Holding owned approximately 31.3% of AllianceBernstein, and Equitable Holdings, Inc. owned an approximate 68.1% economic interest. The company is incorporated in Delaware with a business address at 501 Commerce Street, Nashville, TN, 37203, and a fiscal year ending 1231. Forward-looking statement cautions in the release point readers to the risk factors in AB's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The reasons behind the Retail outflows, and any commentary from management on them, are not in the filing.
