Alternatives

With a deep commitment to alternatives, we’ve assembled a platform of multidimensional solutions with independent agility, supported by our robust global infrastructure.

Capabilities

Alternatives are a growing area of need for institutional investors and an important focus area for AB. We've been committed to building a diverse platform for many years, growing our capabilities in-house and attracting industry talent.

When making strategic acquisitions, we’ve focused on areas that complement our traditional platform. The goal is to bring on experienced teams with institutional-caliber pedigrees, significant assets under management and/or established track records.
