Citigroup’s Private Bank revenues increased 4% to $746m from $715m. the rise was driven by loan growth, improved spreads and higher managed investment revenues, the bank said.
Citi CEO Michael Corbat said: "In the quarter, both our Global Consumer Bank and Institutional Clients Group had solid year-over-year revenue increases in nearly every business line and geography. We also continued to grow core loans and deposits while reducing non-core assets to just 3% of our balance sheet.
"We remain intensely focused on shareholder returns. The acquisition of the Costco portfolio and the recently announced sales of our retail operations in Argentina and Brazil are the latest examples of how we are shifting resources to the areas we believe will generate the best returns for our shareholders.
