BNP Paribas Wealth and Asset Management unit has registered a 17% jump in revenue in the third quarter of 2021. The unit’s revenue rose to €859m from €734m a year ago.

The rise was driven by higher fees and loan revenues in wealth management, and strong net asset inflows and the performance effect in the asset management. Real estate division also saw strong increase, particularly in advisory.
