A New Position in a Deep-Value Closed-End Fund
ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN L.P. (Trades, Portfolio) has initiated a new position in RiverNorth Opportunities Fund Inc RIV, according to a 13F-style filing covering the transaction dated 2026-09-30. The firm acquired 656,000 shares of the closed-end fund at a trade price of $10.34 per share. Because this is a newly established stake, the total shares held by the firm now stand at 656,000, with no prior position to build upon. The transaction represents 22.00% of the firm's holdings in the traded stock, meaning the position is meaningful relative to the firm's overall exposure to RIV. The stock's weight in the firm's broader portfolio is not applicable based on the available data, reflecting the limited scale of this holding within a massive multi-asset book. Even so, the purchase places ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN L.P. (Trades, Portfolio) among the notable institutional holders of this small-cap asset management vehicle.
