About

AllianceBernstein L.P. is a global, research-driven investment manager that primarily serves pooled and institutional clients — including pension plans, endowments, insurance companies, state and municipal governments, sovereign wealth funds, and other investment advisers — as well as private clients through Bernstein Private Wealth Services. It offers a broad set of investment products and services across equities, fixed income, multi‑asset and alternative strategies, and sponsors mutual funds, ETFs, collective investment trusts and privately placed vehicles.

AB describes its investment approach as research-centric, combining fundamental, economic and quantitative disciplines to support portfolio managers, and it provides both discretionary and non‑discretionary solutions (including separately managed accounts and SMA/wrap programs). The firm notes it uses derivatives where guidelines allow and has registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator/commodity trading adviser; it also uses commission arrangements and commission‑sharing relationships and subscribes to third‑party research and proxy‑voting services (for example, ISS and Glass Lewis) to support its investment process.

What is distinctive about AB’s profile in the brochure is its scale and organizational breadth: it manages large, multi‑asset mandates and pooled products while operating affiliated broker‑dealers (e.g., Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC), an affiliated trust company (AllianceBernstein Trust Company, LLC), and a wide global affiliate network. The firm also discloses recent strategic transactions and integrations in the brochure — for example, the acquisition and rebranding of CarVal (now AB CarVal) and the formation of a joint venture structure with Société Générale that reorganized Bernstein research and certain businesses — and highlights specialized capabilities such as broadly syndicated loan and CLO management and bespoke private‑credit solutions.

Seattle, WA

AllianceBernstein L.P.

Beyond the numbers, my work is about stewardship. I’ll be here for the moments that change everything. With Bernstein's experts alongside me, we’ll simplify decisions and create a plan that manages what you’ve built and evolves with your life. My time with the Seattle Seahawks organization left me with a simple standard that still guides how I show up: “Always Compete.” For me, that means treating a client’s goals like they’re my own—preparing relentlessly, getting the details right, anticipating issues early and following through until the job is done. I joined Bernstein because I wanted to serve clients from a place where excellence is the baseline and where the work is as human as it is analytical. I’m wired to ask, “Is this the optimal move?” Bernstein’s depth of thinking, team-based approach and commitment to long-term relationships aligned with how I naturally serve—consistently thoughtful, tenacious, and deeply client‑centric. I’m also drawn to roles where you’re trusted to represent something bigger than yourself, whether it’s community-facing work with the Seahawks or now as an advisor. That responsibility keeps me grounded; it’s about earning trust, protecting what clients have built and helping them make confident decisions at the moments that matter most. Some of my earliest perspective on resilience and resourcefulness came from my family’s roots in the Philippines. Growing up, I heard stories of making do with very little, even hand‑pumping water from a ground well in my parents’ village just to cook or bathe. That upbringing didn’t just teach gratitude, it also emphasized responsibility. It shaped my values early: don’t take opportunities for granted, do what you say you’ll do, and use success to take care of people. Having built a company myself, I understand the pressure experienced by entrepreneurs, who are constantly weighing risks, trade-offs and responsibilities. That background helps me empathize with business owners, executives and families who balance opportunity with complexity. And I know how freeing it is to move forward with clarity from a set of optimal decisions, especially for founders, athletes and entertainers contemplating a “second act.”
