Investment management and performance fees were $910m, up 3% from $879m a year earlier.

BNY Mellon chairman and CEO Charles Scharf said: “While we continued to benefit from the positive impact of higher interest rates and equity markets, albeit at a more modest pace than last quarter, we again saw some underlying franchise growth. Overall, the company remains strong, with some areas performing better than others.

“We saw pockets of strength, in Investment Services, especially where we have differentiated capabilities such as clearance, collateral management, tri-party repo and liquidity services. Investment Management growth moderated as we saw some softness across the board in our asset flows.”
