Summary

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) reported solid results for the third quarter of 2014, driven by strong performance in its Investment Services and Investment Management businesses. Total revenue saw a significant increase year-over-year, largely due to substantial gains from the sale of its equity investment in Wing Hang Bank and the One Wall Street office building. Fee and other revenue benefited from increases in asset servicing fees and investment management fees, reflecting higher market values and net new business. Net interest revenue experienced a year-over-year decrease due to lower asset yields, although this was partially offset by higher average interest-earning assets. The company also highlighted its strategic exit from the derivatives sales and trading business and the acquisition of Cutwater Asset Management, which is expected to close in early 2015. BNY Mellon maintained strong capital ratios, exceeding regulatory requirements and expressing confidence in its ability to meet upcoming Basel III and Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) requirements.
