Noninterest expense dropped 1% to $2.6bn on both a GAAP and adjusted basis. The company said that the decline reflects lower expenses in most categories, mainly driven by the favourable impact of a stronger US dollar, lower other, software and equipment, legal, net occupancy and business development expenses, partially offset by higher staff and distribution and servicing expenses.
The company’s assets under management at the end of the quarter were $1.72 trillion, a rise of 6%. Assets under custody and/or administration increased 7% to $30.5 trillion.
The group's asset servicing fees were $1.1bn, up 1% compared to the corresponding period in 2015.
