Distenfeld Gershon M Buy
VICE PRESIDENT
1,593 shares
$16,881
@ $10.60
Significance 4/10

AWF VP Distenfeld sells 5,462 shares net (sold 5,462 for $57,733.34 against purchases of 1,593 for $16,880.81), reducing stake 20.7% in two separate January-February transactions.

Distenfeld executed four separate transactions spanning January 22 to February 5, 2026: two purchases totaling 1,593 shares for $16,880.81 ($10.60 per share) and two sales totaling 5,462 shares for $57,733.34 ($10.57 per share). The net effect reduced his holding from 18,670 to 14,801 shares, a -20.7% reduction. The sales occurred just 14 days after the purchases, at a nearly identical price ($10.60 vs $10.57), suggesting the buys and sells were closely sequential rather than reflective of conviction shifts. At current price of $10.21, the stock is -10.5% from its 52-week high of $11.41 and has declined -4.6% over 90 days. His same-ticker history at AWF shows mixed results: 2 of 4 prior purchases ultimately declined (2025 buys down -5.4% and -5.5% at 90d), while 2 earlier purchases rose (+2.7% and +2.6% at 90d), indicating no consistent pattern of market-timing success at this holding.

The current price of $10.72 is 6.0% below the 52-week high and essentially flat over 30 days (-3.3% over 90 days), positioning this purchase near recent lows in the year-to-date range, consistent with prior entry points that subsequently appreciated.

The current price of $10.77 sits -5.0% from the 52-week high ($11.34), suggesting the executive is buying amid a pullback from recent peaks.

@ $10.67
Significance 3/10

VP Malik Fahd buys 800 AWF shares at $10.67, raising stake 29.9% to 3,479 shares; stock down 5.9% from 52-week high.

Malik Fahd purchased 800 shares of AllianceBernstein Global High Income Fund on 2024-12-24 at $10.67, increasing his holding by 29.9% from 2,679 to 3,479 shares. The current price of $10.67 is 5.9% below the 52-week high of $11.34 and down 2.1% over the past 30 days. However, Fahd's cross-ticker track record shows 2 prior open-market buys with an average 90-day return of -0.4%, and his same-ticker history at AWF (2 prior buys, both on 2024-04-03) achieved 0% win rate at the 90-day mark, with no instances of positive subsequent returns. The pattern suggests this purchase follows a history of purchases that did not deliver near-term gains.
