AllianceBernstein Overview

AllianceBernstein is committed to growing our employees both professionally and personally.  Our employees are talented individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to the highest standards of professionalism.  They continue to learn and grow as they pursue their passion in both research and knowledge, which ensure our clients’ and our firm’s success.

There are six values we embrace at AllianceBernstein and we hold each other to these values:

• Clients first- we place our client’s interests first in all that we do
• Unimpeachable integrity- we have zero tolerance for anything less than 100% compliance with our standards of professional conduct
• Open-mindedness- requires each of us to actively seek and consider other internal and outside perspectives in order to continuously “raise our game” and fuel innovative thinking
• Intellectual curiosity- we have an insatiable thirst for knowledge in the interests of our clients’ financial success and peace of mind
• Partnership- we respect one another, actively support each other’s success, and focus on what is best for our team, our firm and our clients
• Meritocracy - achievement is recognized and rewarded, and we expect no less than excellence from each other

It's All in the Research

We believe that investment research is essential to delivering better outcomes for clients.  It’s our job to accumulate and interpret facts to reach sound investment conclusions and expert investment advice.

We like to say that investment research is in our DNA.  Research is not simply a priority for AllianceBernstein, it is part of what defines us and distinguishes our firm.  Excellence in investment research and trading is the core of our sell-side research unit’s business.  Our asset-management business has additional dimensions, but it is from research that all else flows.

Our commitment to knowing more has led us to build one of the broadest buy-side research footprints in the asset-management industry.  Our research disciplines include fundamental research, quantitative research, economic research and currency forecasting.  In addition, we have created several specialist research units, including one that examines broad trends that affect multiple industries and geographies.  Our portfolio managers take all of these research inputs into account when selecting securities, constructing portfolios and providing investment advice.

As a firm and as individuals, we are committed to continuous improvement.  We want our research to define thought leadership about current conditions and emerging trends.  Investment research is an important part of our proud past, and will be a key source of our continued growth in the future.
