What were the main drivers of revenue growth in Q3 2017?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by increases in Investment Management and Performance Fees, which rose 5% year-over-year, and Investment Services fees, which grew 1% year-over-year. These increases were largely attributable to higher market values, net new business, and in some cases, favorable foreign currency impacts.

How did BNY Mellon's AUM and AUC/A perform in the quarter?

BNY Mellon saw strong growth in both key metrics. Assets Under Management (AUM) increased by 6% year-over-year to a record $1.82 trillion, while Assets Under Custody/Administration (AUC/A) also increased by 6% year-over-year to a record $32.2 trillion. This growth was supported by higher market values and net new business.

What significant leadership or strategic changes occurred during the quarter?

In July 2017, Charles W. Scharf was appointed Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, the company announced a definitive agreement to sell CenterSquare Investment Management, one of its investment management boutiques. The company also increased its quarterly cash dividend on common stock by 26% to $0.24 per share.

What was the impact of foreign exchange revenue?

Foreign exchange revenue decreased by 10% compared to the third quarter of 2016, totaling $158 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower market volatility and reduced Depositary Receipt-related foreign exchange activity, although higher volumes partially offset the decline.
