Private wealth management revenue increased to C$28 million from C$25 million in the second quarter of 2012, mainly due to higher assets under management driven by client growth, including the impact of the acquisition of the MFS McLean Budden private wealth management business in September 2012, the bank said in a statement.

Revenue in the asset management unit was C$153 million, up from C$130 million reported in the year ago period, primarily due to higher client assets under management driven by higher long-term net sales of mutual funds.
