AllianceBernstein

AllianceBernstein currently has several job openings. The one that is most interesting to me is the Associate Portfolio Manager. This only requires a college education as experience. You will be a member of a team and be responsible for approximately 10,000 accounts. Each team is five individuals and each account must be reviewed at least every other week! Wow! Other requirements include investing new accounts and reallocating funds of existing accounts per client's request. The job is located in White Planes, NY. Not NYC, but this might be a good springboard to getting there.

You can also submit a resume through this page.

AllianceBernstein is owned by the parent company AXA. AllianceBernstein administers over 100 mutual funds and is active in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. According to Hoovers, they did 3.25 Billion in sales last year, and had 4,312 employees. They are headquartered in NYC, but according to Hoovers, only 50 employees work there.

My experience with AllianceBernstein has been their research reports. I am a big fan of their recent "Hedge Funds: Too Much of a Good Thing?" report.
