The roots of the firm trace back to 1967 when Sanford C. Bernstein established a private securities firm under his name, quickly gaining renown for its institutional research and contrarian investment philosophy. This independent investment management expertise later combined with Alliance Capital, founded in 1971 through the merger of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette's investment department and Moody's Investors Service's advisory business. The unification in 2000 created AllianceBernstein, merging complementary strengths in equity and fixed income.
