low, revenue up 1%
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo’s wealth, brokerage and

Revenues at Wells Fargo’s wealth unit rose 1%

This was due to increased asset-based fees,
higher brokerage transaction revenue and gains on differed
compensation plan investments, the bank said.

to the first quarter of 2011, due to lower brokerage transaction
revenue, and reduced securities gains in the brokerage
business.
