Assets under custody and/or administration were $35.5 trillion as at 30 June 2019, a 6% increase from the previous year.

Asset servicing fees dipped 8% to $1.39bn from $1.52bn. Issuer services fees of $446m were 3% higher than the year earlier.

Investment management and performance fees fell 8% to $833m from $901m.

BNY Mellon chairman and CEO Charlie Scharf said: “The impact of the level and shape of the yield curve, as well as continued low levels of volatility and muted market activity, negatively impacted our results.

“This was partially offset by a decline in expenses as we continue to manage the company prudently – even more so, given the current environment. Market conditions drove a decline in foreign exchange and securities lending activities within Asset Servicing while prior-year outflows and divestitures negatively impacted Asset Management.

“However, we saw fee growth in Issuer Services, Clearance and Collateral Management and Pershing.”
