Our History

We define ourselves by a legacy of research and investment innovation and excellence.

Founded in 1967, Sandford C. Bernstein started as a private securities firm. Under Bernstein’s vision as an industry icon and contrarian pioneer, the firm grew into one of the largest independent investment managers.

Founded in 1971 when the investment-management department of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc., merged with the investment advisory business of Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., with a shared belief that deeper research revealed greater investment value.

In October 2000, Alliance Capital acquired Sandford C. Bernstein, to form AllianceBernstein. This combination created a complementary union of Alliance Capital’s expertise in growth equity, corporate fixed-income investing as well as its mutual fund range and Bernstein’s expertise in value equity, tax-exempt fixed-income management as well as its Private Client Business.
