From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • CEO Michael O’Grady said growth in trust fees, net interest income and capital markets revenue supported an 11% revenue increase excluding notable items.
  • CFO Dave Fox said fixed-income market pressure could weigh on asset-servicing fees in the fourth quarter, while transaction activity and new business could provide offsets.

Ownership

Directors and executive officers, together less than 1%
Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
