Business Segment Performance

Investment Servicing Assets Under Custody and/or Administration (AUC/A) increased 11% year-over-year to $49.0 trillion, driven by higher quarter-end market levels, flows, and currency translation. Investment Management Assets Under Management (AUM) grew 17% to $5.1 trillion, primarily due to higher market levels and net inflows. Total fee revenue saw an 11% increase, reflecting broad-based strength across the franchise, with servicing fees up 5% and management fees up 10%.

Revenue Drivers

Foreign exchange trading services surged 28% year-over-year, mainly due to higher volumes and increased spreads from higher FX volatility. Securities finance also rose 17%, largely driven by higher client lending balances. Software and processing fees increased 7.5%. Net interest income, however, decreased 1% year-over-year, primarily affected by lower average short-end rates and a shift in deposit mix, although partially offset by loan growth and securities portfolio repricing.
