NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AllianceBernstein L.P.

In this newly created role, Green will be responsible for overseeing the sales, marketing, product development and commercialization of AB's cash management business globally.

"With nearly 40 years of history in the institutional money fund business, AB is committed to being a trusted partner and consultant to help cash managers meet their liquidity needs," said Douglas Peebles, Chief Investment Officer of Fixed Income at AB.

The inventor and holder of two rules-based trading patents, Green began his career at Lehman Brothers and Deutsche Bank. He holds a BS in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University.

AB, then known as Alliance Capital, launched its first money fund in 1978, and ranked among the top 15 mutual fund sponsors in the 1990's and early 2000's. In 2005, the firm sold its money fund business to Federated Investors. Over the past decade, AB began efficiently managing internal cash, and created the AB Government Money Market Portfolio (GMOXX). The firm currently manages approximately $280 billion in total fixed-income assets.
