AllianceBernstein

AllianceBernstein combines two investment-management histories: Sanford C. Bernstein, founded in 1967 and known for institutional research, and Alliance Capital, founded in 1971. The businesses merged in 2000 to form AllianceBernstein; the firm established its corporate headquarters in Nashville in 2021.

AB manages active strategies across equities, fixed income, multi-asset and alternative investments for institutional, retail and private-wealth clients. Its research platform is central to the business, with investment teams spanning fundamental, quantitative, macroeconomic and data-science approaches.

For students, the firm offers 10-week summer internships and new-graduate routes across investment services, client-facing teams, technology, operations and corporate functions. Its campus recruiting page also identifies select opportunities for MBA and other postgraduate students.
