For the quarter ended March 31, common shareholders’ net income was $1.35 billion, up from $1.05 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Global AUM and AUA exceeded $1 trillion, up from $904 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, the company said.
“We were pleased with how our operations around the world performed; and our key growth drivers, Asia and wealth and asset management, once again delivered excellent results,” Donald Guloien, chief executive, said in a statement.
Its wealth and asset management division generated positive net flows of $4.3 billion in the quarter, up from $1.7 billion a year earlier.
