Review of business segments
We have an internal information system that produces performance data along product and service lines for our three principal business segments: Securities Services, Market and Wealth Services and Investment and Wealth Management, and the Other segment.
Business segment accounting principles
Our business segment data has been determined on an internal management basis of accounting, rather than the generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are designed so that reported results of the businesses will track their economic performance.
Our business segments are consistent with the structure used by the Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), to make key operating decisions and assess performance. Our CODM evaluates the business segments’ operating performance primarily based on fee and other revenue, total revenue, income before income taxes, and pre-tax operating margin. The significant expense information regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM is total noninterest expense. The CODM considers this information when evaluating the performance of each business segment and in making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each business segment.
For information on the accounting principles of our business segments, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the primary products and services in each line of business, the primary types of revenue by line of business and how our business segments are presented and analyzed, see Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report.
Business segment results are subject to reclassification when organizational changes are made, or for refinements in revenue and expense allocation methodologies. Refinements are typically reflected on a prospective basis. In the first quarter of
10 BNY
2026, we realigned clients in Managed Accounts Solutions from the Asset Servicing line of business in the Securities Services business segment to the Wealth Solutions (formerly Pershing) line of business in the Market and Wealth Services business segment. Prior period amounts were revised for comparability.
The results of our business segments may be influenced by client and other activities that vary by quarter. In the first quarter, staff expense typically increases, reflecting the vesting of long-term stock awards for retirement-eligible employees. The timing of our annual employee merit increases also impacts staff expense. The annual employee merit increases are effective in March. In the third quarter, volume-related fees may decline due to reduced client activity. In the fourth quarter, we typically incur higher business development and marketing expenses. In our Investment and Wealth Management business segment, performance fees are typically higher in the fourth quarter, as that quarter represents the end of the measurement period for many of the performance fee-eligible relationships.
The results of our business segments may also be impacted by the translation of financial results denominated in foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar. We are primarily impacted by activities denominated in the British pound and the euro. On a
consolidated basis and in our Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services business segments, we typically have more foreign currency-denominated expenses than revenues. However, our Investment and Wealth Management business segment typically has more foreign currency-denominated revenues than expenses. Overall, currency fluctuations impact the year-over-year growth rate in the Investment and Wealth Management business segment more than the Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services business segments. However, currency fluctuations, in isolation, are not expected to significantly impact net income on a consolidated basis.
Fee revenue in the Investment and Wealth Management business segment, and, to a lesser extent, in the Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services business segments, is impacted by global market fluctuations. At March 31, 2026, we estimated that a 5% change in global equity markets, spread evenly throughout the year, would impact fee revenue by less than 1% and diluted earnings per common share by $0.05 to $0.08.
See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the consolidating schedules, which show the contribution of our business segments to our overall profitability.

The Securities Services business segment consists of two distinct lines of business, Asset Servicing and Issuer Services, which provide business solutions across the transaction life cycle to our global asset owner and asset manager clients. We are one of the leading global investment services providers, with $42.7 trillion of AUC/A at March 31, 2026. For information on the drivers of the Securities Services fee revenue, see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report.
The Asset Servicing business provides a comprehensive suite of solutions. We are one of the largest global custody, fund administrator and front-to-back outsourcing service providers. We offer services for the safekeeping of assets in capital markets globally as well as fund accounting services, exchange-traded funds servicing, transfer agency, trust and depository, front-to-back capabilities, data and analytics solutions and digital asset custody and administration services for our clients. We deliver foreign exchange, and securities lending and financing solutions, on both an agency and principal basis. Our agency securities lending program is one of the largest lenders of U.S. and non-U.S. securities, servicing a lendable asset pool of approximately $6.2 trillion in 35 markets. Our market-leading liquidity services portal enables cash investments for institutional clients and includes fund research and analytics.
The Issuer Services business includes Corporate Trust and Depositary Receipts. Our Corporate Trust business delivers a full range of issuer and related investor services, including trustee, paying agency, fiduciary, escrow and other financial services. We are a leading provider to the debt capital markets, providing customized and market-driven solutions to investors, bondholders and lenders. Our Depositary Receipts business drives global investing by providing servicing and value-added solutions that enable, facilitate and enhance cross-border trading, clearing, settlement and ownership. We are one of the largest providers of depositary receipts services in the world, partnering with leading companies from more than 50 countries.
AUC/A of $42.7 trillion increased 13% compared with March 31, 2025, primarily reflecting net client inflows, higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar.
Total revenue of $2.7 billion increased 17% compared with the first quarter of 2025. The drivers of total revenue by line of business are indicated below.
Asset Servicing revenue of $2.2 billion increased 22% compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher net interest income, first quarter 2026 investment gains and higher client activity, foreign exchange revenue and market values.
Issuer Services revenue of $508 million decreased 1% compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting a first quarter 2025 disposal gain, partially offset by higher Corporate Trust revenue.
Market and regulatory trends are driving investable assets toward lower fee asset management products at reduced margins for our clients. These dynamics are also negatively impacting our investment services fees. However, at the same time, these trends are providing additional outsourcing opportunities as clients and other market participants seek to comply with regulations and reduce their operating costs.
Noninterest expense of $1.6 billion increased 5% compared with the first quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting higher investments and revenue-related expenses, the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar and employee merit increases, partially offset by efficiency savings.
