By GlobalDataWells Fargo’s wealth management income
low, revenue up 1%
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo’s wealth, brokerage and
retirement unit reported net income of $296m, a dip of $15m since
the fourth quarter of 2011, and $47m down on the first quarter of
last year.
Revenues at Wells Fargo’s wealth unit rose 1%
to $3.1bn in the first three months of 2012.
This was due to increased asset-based fees,
higher brokerage transaction revenue and gains on differed
compensation plan investments, the bank said.
However, revenues were 3% down when compared
to the first quarter of 2011, due to lower brokerage transaction
revenue, and reduced securities gains in the brokerage
business.
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo’s client assets dipped
$2bn to $202bn on a year-on-year basis.
