ALLIANCE CAPITAL ANNOUNCES MAY 31, 2005 ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
New York, NY, June 10, 2005 – Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. (“Alliance Holding”) (NYSE: AC) and Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance Capital”) today reported that preliminary assets under management were $518 billion at May 31, 2005, a decrease of approximately $4 billion, or 0.8%, from $522 billion at April 30, 2005.
Preliminary long-term assets under management, excluding assets of its cash management services business (“CMS”), increased by approximately $14 billion or 2.8% in the month of May, to $514 billion, primarily due to equity market performance and positive net cash flows into global and international services.
CMS assets under management declined by approximately $18 billion during May to $4 billion, due primarily to continuing transfers of client assets in connection with the sale to Federated Investors, Inc. under an agreement signed late last year. Substantially all of the remaining CMS assets covered by the agreement are expected to be transferred to Federated during the month of June.
