Forward-Looking Statements

 Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These 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 we achieve for our clients, general economic conditions, future acquisitions, competitive conditions, and government regulations, including changes in tax rates.  We caution readers to carefully consider our forward-looking statements in light of these factors.  Further, these 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 subsequent events or circumstances.  For further information regarding these forward-looking statements and the factors that could cause actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.  Any or all of the forward-looking statements that we make in Form 10-K, this presentation, or any other public statements we issue may turn out to be wrong.  Please remember that factors other than those listed in “Risk Factors” and other than those listed below could also adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition.

 The forward-looking statements referred to in the preceding paragraph include statements regarding substantial investment  opportunity in growth stocks, the encouragement we take from the backlog of unfunded institutional mandates and our optimism that growth will resume in institutional research services.  The actual performance of the capital markets and other factors beyond our control will affect our investment success and asset inflows.  Declines in rates charged for brokerage transactions and fluctuations in transaction volume and market share will affect the growth of our institutional research services.

In light of Regulation FD, management will be limited in responding to inquiries from investors or analysts in a non-public forum.

Premium returns are based on the past performance of the AllianceBernstein Hedge Funds, the results of AllianceBernstein’s proprietary models and simulations, the AllianceBernstein Hedge Fund’s expected volatility and investment guidelines regarding factors such as leverage, net market exposure, and diversification. Of course, actual returns may differ from premium returns, and there can be no guarantee that the AllianceBernstein Hedge Funds will achieve their investment and premium objectives. In an attempt to achieve these objectives, the AllianceBernstein Hedge Funds will utilize several investment techniques, including—but not limited to—long and short investments, the use of leverage, and investment in derivatives. These investment techniques involve risks different from and, in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by traditional investments. These risks are fully described in each AllianceBernstein Hedge Fund's Confidential Memorandum. Investors should read it carefully before they decide to invest.
