Second Quarter 2009 Review

Robert H. Joseph, Jr. Chief Financial Officer
 
 

 
 Certain statements provided by management in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
 Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could
 cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The most significant
 of these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the performance of financial markets, the investment performance of
 sponsored investment products and separately managed accounts, general economic conditions, industry trends, future acquisitions,
 competitive conditions, and government regulations, including changes in tax regulations and rates and the manner in which the earnings
 of publicly-traded partnerships are taxed. We caution readers to carefully consider such factors. Further, such forward-looking statements
 speak only as of the date on which such statements are made; we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to
 reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. For further information regarding these forward-looking statements and
 the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors” and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Form
 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Any or all of the forward-looking
 statements that we make in this presentation, Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, other documents we file with or furnish to the SEC, and any other
 public statements we issue, may turn out to be wrong. It is important to remember that other factors besides those listed in “Risk Factors”
 and “Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, and those listed below, could also adversely affect our revenues, financial
 condition, results of operations and business prospects.
 The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding:
 < Our backlog of new institutional mandates not yet funded: Before they are funded, institutional mandates do not represent legally
 binding commitments to fund and, accordingly, the possibility exists that not all mandates will be funded in the amounts and at the times
 we currently anticipate.
 < Our expectation that the significant challenges that persist in today’s global capital markets should provide active asset
 managers with long-term opportunities to generate alpha for their clients:
Historical performance is not necessarily indicative of
 future results. The actual performance of the capital markets and other factors beyond our control will affect our investment success for
 clients and asset flows.
 < Our expectation that our lower expense base should provide for operating leverage as revenues grow: Unanticipated events
 and factors, including strategic initiatives, may cause us to expand our expense base, thus limiting the extent to which we benefit from
 any positive leverage in future periods.

 interest high in our unique PPIP offering

*The Bernstein Fully Diversified Portfolio is a simulation composed of specific proportions of each of the products that follow, which joined the simulation as of the following dates: Strategic
Value—January 1, 1983; Strategic Growth—January 1, 1983 (ACM Large Cap Growth used as a proxy for Strategic Growth through January 1, 2001; Strategic Growth used thereafter);
Intermediate Municipal Bond Composite—January 1, 1983; Bernstein Tax-Managed International Fund—July 1, 1992; Emerging Markets Fund—January 1, 1996; AllianceBernstein Institutional
REIT Fund—July 1, 2001. The AllianceBernstein Institutional REIT Fund was removed from the simulation on December 31, 2008. The portfolio was rebalanced quarterly through December 31,
2005; monthly thereafter. Simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. The results may not reflect the impact that certain material economic and market factors might have had
on actual decision making if they were reflective of a managed account. No representation is being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those described
herein.
