BNY Mellon has posted total revenue of $4bn for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 4% compared to $3.8bn recorded in the same period a year ago.

The investment bank noted that fee revenue increased by 4% on a year-on-year basis due to the positive impact of higher market values and client volumes.

However, net interest revenue dropped marginally. The fall was attributed to lower interest rates and the impact of hedging activities.

Net income in Q4 2021 totalled $869m, a 15% jump compared to $755m in Q4 2020.

BNY Mellon’s assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A) and assets under management (AUM) increased 14% and 10% to $46.7trn and $2.4trn respectively.

The bank’s Investment and Wealth Management division posted income before taxes of $278m in the fourth quarter of 2021. The figure represents a 11% fall on a year-on-year basis.
