BERNSTEIN PRIVATE WEALTH MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW:

In a world where most investment managers look alike, Bernstein Private Wealth Management has evolved into an organization like no other. We have the resources of the largest global firms, but the service culture of a boutique. AB ranks among the leading investment management firms in the world with over $600 billion in assets under management.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Financial Advisor ("Advisor" or "FA") is a critical member of the Bernstein Private Wealth Management Team. The principal role of the advisor is to develop new clients by cultivating their personal and professional networks and leveraging relationships with centers of influence. Advisors are also responsible for maintaining close, ongoing relationships with their existing clients.

Bernstein's Advisors work closely with clients who have the benefit of substantial assets, but the burden of significant complexity. Advisors, partnering with the firm's planning and investment professionals begin with a discovery process that delves into client's values, legacy, and philanthropic goals. The answers, which often differ across generations, allow the advisor to work with clients on implementing investment strategies tied to these objectives and help clients cultivate the next generation as stewards of family wealth.
