organic of progressing ex just us back nicely. sounds momentum volumes a to in were Maybe currency and in And taking back, of kind quarter? you fees servicing up X% kind through the then really translation, about it versus walk was pretty higher front trends step the can is So more how market much like sequentially.

to points the business. of new about past I these could data sort between servicing you Eric, you markets in So kind fee pricing, talked that, of was bridge highlighted on the hoping back you the algorithm call,

of added the does maybe a I some single you’ve time. changes digit to how business? given you to think guys like Kind low over of the feel in that growth now that collectively, up seen

the on talk me Let momentum the in a more and about then little quarter start the we’ll business.

we here. quarter like solid we felt think had I a

saw, currency up that was aggregate. of in were just X As fees translation. year-over-year I you mentioned points servicing X% about percentage

growth the here, we If of around X% decompose a appreciation. driver X%. equity there’s mix market positive was you were to underlying So know the the largest items and was always

So markets of equity market that the X%, appreciation low we amount across average. fees which were of up normalized had servicing north on in about X%. of the normal translated That the against down XX% for equity And to to us about brought then tailwind of X% quarter. -- fee the the net headwinds amount

So a quarter. good it was

think some our be on and model we in I activity. there to tailwind flows focus continue is to tends from client what

clearly, said I I’ve And And is some of as then four a growth. lighter net happens, other think had year-on-year a to position have had pretty relatively last had the have basis. And new on we’ll up. but neutral we in six that over a component We to so good quarters. we new quarter be that the that business was that we This it net to as also year in amount, take need a sales ago quarters business.

business that’s, think, net I been have neutral, not real relatively of why segment at business levels we net partly around basis. is be being, For and basis new the amount that a the we enough need not that the time okay or and clear regional but like actioning on we’d is new We’ve win. to been to which

You’ve and to as asset highlighted acceleration, along our that think I I managers, results coming and be the well example, our time for alternative and heard periods. All advantage are some in expansion. will that show positive of which about model starting coverage an I are components those to think

billion numbers? we And Why with the change you’re it does your that, reported noted, wins in Alpha how basically pleased add part is all that we and we’re given third about. effect, of of of those to second installed, for the grow about the in these think be question, second I things reported would means, first progress enterprise one $XXX installed in and X asking becoming related just the some fit clients. we quarter, the What the though, with that what that the that a don’t are to we’re quarter. these to to to how this be Clearly, outsourcer does already Alpha is as installations. I expect just longer business Alpha we’ve our Remember, is talked

but the things reported be it little in we quarter revenue relatively we’re revenue certainly that the that, So will talking XXXX XXXX about XXXX. and for impact of we nice first impact will see

reason to And if much and staying of quick for have even target balance of X.XX% capital the low remains how are surprising. ratios willing sheet Obviously, on you plan, particularly came that Tier And maybe here elevated capital. end, sort willingness the guys the flexibility or I you if or X maybe for continue from one then return your leverage maybe reasons below a grows to not talk you one on I the execute another. a dip guess, guess sequentially described, do your down to going us little there? about below bit to

I the capital quarter plan but or volatility We’re think, return largely on above, that’s X solidly Tier return our solidly still had we’ll some range. the by above are common which ratios, driven equity this

in aspects confidence there are On of matter. different probably leverage, got couple can we that X we’ve do a of Tier So there. what

some we that. to to also we more on quarter -- ability like we this have first, little have to some X.XX% sheet remember, pushed deposits. get And we’d in But room of think, I as operate balance X.XX%. if in to you adjust the

some If there’s and over $XX two last the and the those time ways to sheet. recall, deposits so then billion, billion the accommodate clients we of $XX discretionary range, are you manage in tactical added can $XX billion, balance continue we year some period, overall size the

it’s X.XX% way I the way ratio. speak, right the think pushing to right our we coming outside on range is rather move to strength of occasionally the an because now, to the we’re and around. right if it’s have so us of because below that’s ability certainly that clients risk, And brand,

if that And we quarter two can or for so necessary. a always do

of fed And how this to part our what support continue so we’re time clients easing. of very mindful do is of during we

And the through business just that we year, navigate of that as so to kind see there part are normal during of ways activity. our and

Your next Glenn comes Evercore Schorr question ISI. with from

some pretty think the pretax quarter, on still the things I far but and good ROE there’s are So going below margin in the targets.

headwinds over rates just the the in that I time, you that is side, you on fee simply given think the described. one and built a of function waivers on view do ROE capital in, as getting an margin in closer that the a X% felt your business feels to like than momentum targets, that, than ROE low you but growth down ROE, it quarter, the the all considering because that’s to better built. But better

think how on curious just So that. about you

couple to of in things A just first. mind keep

our First because point incentive seasonal on quarter is expenses. of always compensation every margin low deferred year and ROE the

come full year we’ve to So look. a and take then those through got

little a be that. on cautious just I’d So

really more think in focus. a of that’s broadly terms I ROE

revenue. added ROE seen few last think has you’ve in I We the and target. years, our to that a now margin fee proxy management over

team points. incredibly we’re And who’s leverage and to major month those focused So every got you three management on about entire I’ve tell got I’ve quarter. thinking those every

of terms trajectory. think perspectives think way I its from ROE about I in a of probably is the couple

is into and fee just we’re interest rates. margin. margins over continued is margin X That in up. this notwithstanding first, of expenses year, actually extend revenues falling trying think, us seen points given a time, you’ve But to on of and filter expansion every flat hold hold going ROE. point ROE steady, back the to, I and margin And work

think real, is hinted you there’s think, And I second capital I there. one flow So then the through around return.

We’re a earnings year, XXX% capital return in We’ve pleased of to pattern quarter, done to this very up return way drive the a we’re return of investors to as quarter. this line to the ROE. fed in quarter, limits. committed that again with in And capital first and second to
