 Asset & Wealth Management 

 

 

 

Full Year

   

Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were $16.14 billion for 2024, 16% higher than 2023, primarily reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Equity investments and higher Management and other fees. In addition, net revenues in Private banking and lending and Incentive fees were higher, while net revenues in Debt investments were lower.

 

The increase in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected significantly higher net gains from investments in private equities (largely reflecting the impact of net losses in real estate investments in the prior year). The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. The increase in Private banking and lending net revenues primarily reflected the impact of the sale of the Marcus loan portfolio in 2023 (including net revenues of approximately $(370) million related to the sale of substantially all of the portfolio) and the impact of higher direct-to-consumer deposit balances. The increase in Incentive fees was driven by harvesting. The decrease in Debt investments net revenues reflected lower net interest income due to a reduction in the debt investments balance sheet, partially offset by net gains in the current year compared with net losses (particularly in real estate investments) in the prior year.

The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. The increase in Incentive fees was driven by harvesting. The increase in Private banking and lending net revenues primarily reflected the impact of higher deposit balances. The decrease in Debt investments net revenues reflected lower net interest income due to a reduction in the debt investments balance sheet. The decrease in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected the impact of the net gain related to the sale of Personal Financial Management in the prior year period, partially offset by significantly higher mark-to-market net gains from investments in public equities.

Operating expenses were $33.77 billion for 2024, 2% lower than 2023. The firm’s efficiency ratio3 was 63.1% for 2024, compared with 74.6% for 2023.

 

Operating expenses, compared with 2023, reflected decreases driven by significantly lower expenses, including impairments, related to commercial real estate in consolidated investment entities (CIEs) (largely in depreciation and amortization) and other significant expenses recognized in the prior year, including the write-down of intangibles related to GreenSky and an impairment of goodwill related to Consumer platforms (both in depreciation and amortization), and the FDIC special assessment fee (in other expenses). These decreases were partially offset by higher compensation and benefits expenses (reflecting improved operating performance) and higher transaction based expenses.

 

Net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings were $166 million for 2024 compared with $115 million for 2023.

Statements about the firm’s Investment banking fees backlog and future results also may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to the risk that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all, and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected.

ROE is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. ROTE is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROTE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity (tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets). Management believes that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally, and that tangible common shareholders’ equity is meaningful because it is a measure that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy. ROTE and tangible common shareholders’ equity are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of average common shareholders’ equity to average tangible common shareholders’ equity:

For information about the following items, see the referenced sections in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024: (i) Investment banking fees backlog – see “Results of Operations – Global Banking & Markets,” (ii) assets under supervision – see “Results of Operations – Asset & Wealth Management – Assets Under Supervision,” (iii) efficiency ratio – see “Results of Operations – Operating Expenses,” (iv) share repurchase program – see “Capital Management and Regulatory Capital – Capital Management,” (v) global core liquid assets – see “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management,” (vi) basic shares – see “Balance Sheet and Funding Sources – Balance Sheet Analysis and Metrics” and (vii) VaR – see “Risk Management – Market Risk Management.”

 

 

 

For information about the following items, see the referenced sections in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements (Unaudited)” in the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024: (i) risk-based capital ratios and the supplementary leverage ratio – see Note 20 “Regulation and Capital Adequacy,” (ii) geographic net revenues – see Note 25 “Business Segments” and (iii) unvested share-based awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents in calculating basic EPS – see Note 21 “Earnings Per Common Share.”

 

 

 

Represents a preliminary estimate for the fourth quarter of 2024 for the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data, global core liquid assets and VaR. These may be revised in the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, revenues relating to certain short-term foreign currency swaps used in connection with the firm’s funding strategy are classified within non-interest revenues to better align with the classification for similar foreign currency derivatives. Previously, such revenues were included within net interest income ($234 million for the first quarter of 2024, $252 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $276 million for the third quarter of 2024). This change has no impact to total net revenues of the firm. Amounts previously reported for the first, second and third quarters of 2024 have been conformed to the current presentation. Revenues related to such swaps were not material for 2023, and therefore no adjustments have been made to prior year amounts.

 

 

 

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 included $869 million in Global Banking & Markets, $713 million in Asset & Wealth Management and $763 million in Platform Solutions, and for 2024 included $2.41 billion in Global Banking & Markets, $2.80 billion in Asset & Wealth Management and $2.86 billion in Platform Solutions.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the firm’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the firm’s control. It is possible that the firm’s actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. For information about some of the risks and important factors that could affect the firm’s future results, financial condition and liquidity and the forward-looking statements below, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Information regarding the firm’s assets under supervision, capital ratios, risk-weighted assets, supplementary leverage ratio, balance sheet data and global core liquid assets (GCLA) consists of preliminary estimates. These estimates are forward-looking statements and are subject to change, possibly materially, as the firm completes its financial statements. Statements regarding (i) forward catalysts, estimated GDP growth or contraction, interest rate and inflation trends and volatility, (ii) the timing, profitability, benefits and other prospective aspects of business initiatives and the achievability of targets and goals, (iii) the firm’s expense savings, productivity and strategic location initiatives, (iv) the future state of the firm’s liquidity and regulatory capital ratios (including the firm’s stress capital buffer and G-SIB buffer, and the potential impact of changes to U.S. regulatory capital rules), (v) the firm’s prospective capital distributions (including dividends and repurchases), (vi) the firm’s future effective income tax rate, (vii) the firm’s Investment banking fees backlog and future results, (viii) the firm’s planned 2025 benchmark debt issuances, (ix) the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions and other developments and the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on the firm’s business, results and financial position, and (x) the firm’s ability to sell, and the terms of any proposed or pending sale of, Asset & Wealth Management historical principal investments, and the firm’s ability to transition the GM credit card program are forward-looking statements. Statements regarding forward catalysts are subject to the risk that the actual operating environment may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes or the absence of changes in general economic and market conditions, CEO confidence, sponsor activity, productivity gains, and the regulatory backdrop. Statements regarding estimated GDP growth or contraction, interest rate and inflation trends and volatility are subject to the risk that actual GDP growth or contraction, interest rate and inflation trends and volatility may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in general economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policy. Statements about the timing, profitability, benefits and other prospective aspects of business and expense savings initiatives and the achievability of targets and goals are based on the firm’s current expectations regarding the firm’s ability to effectively implement these initiatives and achieve these targets and goals and may change, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Statements about the future state of the firm’s liquidity and regulatory capital ratios (including the firm’s stress capital buffer and G-SIB buffer), as well as its prospective capital distributions (including dividends and repurchases), are subject to the risk that the firm’s actual liquidity, regulatory capital ratios and capital distributions may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected, including due to, among other things, potential future changes to regulatory capital rules, which may not be what the firm expects. Statements about the firm’s future effective income tax rate are subject to the risk that the firm’s future effective income tax rate may differ from the anticipated rate indicated, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in the tax rates applicable to the firm, the firm’s earnings mix or profitability, the entities in which the firm generates profits and the assumptions made in forecasting the firm’s expected tax rate, and potential future guidance from tax authorities. Statements about the firm’s Investment banking fees backlog and future advisory and capital market results are subject to the risk that advisory and capital market activity may not increase as the firm expects or that transactions may be modified or may not be completed at all, and related net revenues may not be realized or may be materially less than expected. Important factors that could have such a result include, for underwriting transactions, a decline or weakness in general economic conditions, an outbreak or worsening of hostilities, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, volatility in the securities markets or an adverse development with respect to the issuer of the securities and, for financial advisory transactions, a decline in the securities markets, an inability to obtain adequate financing, an adverse development with respect to a party to the transaction or a failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. Statements regarding the firm’s planned 2025 benchmark debt issuances are subject to the risk that actual issuances may differ, possibly materially, due to changes in market conditions, business opportunities or the firm’s funding needs.

Included $3.1 trillion of AUS, approximately $185 billion of non-fee-earning alternative assets and approximately $500 billion of brokerage assets. 9.

Baseline revenues represent the total revenues of the previous 10-year lows for each of the businesses considered to be more cyclical: Advisory, Equity underwriting, Debt underwriting, FICC intermediation and Equities intermediation. More durable revenues represent reported revenues for the year for Management and other fees, Private banking and lending, FICC financing and Equities financing. Other incremental revenues represent total net revenues reported for the year less baseline revenues and more durable revenues as defined above. 11. Key assumptions include continued annual growth in the high-single-digits in Management and other fees and Private banking and lending net revenues, a reduction in HPI balance sheet (returning associated capital of approximately $4 billion to shareholders), an increase in Incentive fees to the target level of $1 billion and a reduction in aggregated Equity and Debt investments net revenues to the target level of $2 billion+, which imply a positive impact of approximately 100-130bps to the firm’s ROE. 12. Achieving pre-tax breakeven implies a positive impact of approximately 70bps to the firm’s ROE, with an additional positive impact of approximately 60bps if associated capital of approximately $5 billion is returned to shareholders. 23


Footnotes – Continued 13. Return on average common shareholders’ equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly common shareholders’ equity. Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (ROTE) is calculated by dividing net earnings (or annualized net earnings for annualized ROTE) applicable to common shareholders by average monthly tangible common shareholders’ equity. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share (TBVPS) is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by basic shares. Management believes that tangible common shareholders’ equity and TBVPS are meaningful because they are measures that the firm and investors use to assess capital adequacy and that ROTE is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed internally. Tangible common shareholders’ equity, ROTE and TBVPS are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The table below presents a reconciliation of average and ending common shareholders’ equity to average and ending tangible common shareholders’ equity: AVERAGE FOR THE AS OF YEAR ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED Unaudited, $ in millions DECEMBER 31, 2024 DECEMBER 31, 2024 DECEMBER 31, 2024 SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 DECEMBER 31, 2023 Total shareholders’ equity $ 119,204 $ 121,083 $ 121,996 $ 121,200 $ 116,905 Preferred stock (12,430) (13,253) (13,253) (13,253) (11,203) Common shareholders’ equity 106,774 107,830 108,743 107,947 105,702 Goodwill (5,895) (5,880) (5,853) (5,909) (5,916) Identifiable intangible assets (1,003) (886) (847) (925) (1,177) Tangible common shareholders’ equity $ 99,876 $ 101,064 $ 102,043 $ 101,113 $ 98,609 14.
