AllianceBernstein - Global Wealth Management

Welcome to AllianceBernstein Global Wealth Management, London

Hans P. Ziegler
Senior Managing Director

We’ve been dedicated to managing investments for wealthy individuals and families since the foundation of our parent company more than 40 years ago. Today, AllianceBernstein Global Wealth Management oversees some £50 billion* in private capital invested in stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts, and hedge funds around the world.

Clients with capital come to us for many reasons. What often unites them is a need to chart the right course between the sometimes competing demands of investment efficiency and personal aspiration. We can help clients reconcile these needs, while recognising that wealth management involves not just financial decisions, but emotional ones too. We approach our task with both requirements at the forefront of our mind.
