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 President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), to make key operating decisions and
12 BNY 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 making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each business segment.
For information on the accounting principles of our business segments, see Note 18 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 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 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. There were no reclassifications or organizational changes in the third quarter of 2025.
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, the Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services business segments, is impacted by global market fluctuations. At Sept. 30, 2025, 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 18 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 $41.7 trillion of AUC/A at Sept. 30, 2025. For information on the drivers of the Securities Services fee revenue, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Annual Report.
The Asset Servicing business provides a comprehensive suite of solutions. We are one of the largest global custody and front-to-back outsourcing partners. 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 as well as data and analytics solutions for our clients. We deliver foreign exchange, 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 trillion in 35 separate markets. Our market-leading liquidity services portal enables cash investments for institutional clients and includes fund research and analytics.
Our Digital Asset Custody platform offers custody and administration services for Bitcoin and Ether for select U.S. institutional clients. Our Digital Assets Funds Services provides accounting and administration, transfer agency and ETF services to digital asset funds. We continue to develop our digital asset capabilities, working closely with clients to address their evolving digital asset needs. As of and for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, our Digital Asset Custody platform and related initiatives had a de minimis impact on our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
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 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 $41.7 trillion increased 11% compared with Sept. 30, 2024, primarily reflecting net client inflows, higher market values and net new business.
Total revenue of $2.5 billion increased 11% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and decreased 1% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The drivers of total revenue by line of business are indicated below.
Asset Servicing revenue of $1.9 billion increased 11% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and 2% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects higher client activity, net interest income, market values and a disposal gain. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects higher client activity, market values and a disposal gain, partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue.
Issuer Services revenue of $544 million increased 10% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and decreased 10% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The increase compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects higher Depositary Receipts revenue and net interest income in Corporate Trust. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects lower Depositary Receipts 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 $1.7 billion increased 6% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and 2% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The
BNY 15 increase compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects higher investments, severance expense and revenue-related expenses, and employee merit increases, partially offset by efficiency savings. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects higher severance expense, investments and litigation reserves, partially offset by lower revenue-related expenses.
Total revenue of $7.2 billion increased 10% compared with the first nine months of 2024. Asset Servicing revenue of $5.6 billion increased 10% compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily reflecting higher net interest income, client activity, market values and foreign exchange revenue. Issuer Services revenue of $1.7 billion increased 10%, primarily reflecting higher Depositary Receipts revenue, a disposal gain and higher Corporate Trust fees.
Noninterest expense of $4.9 billion increased 5% compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily reflecting higher investments, severance and revenue-related expenses, and employee merit increases, partially offset by efficiency savings.

Our investment firms deliver a highly diversified portfolio of investment strategies independently, and through our global distribution network, to institutional and retail clients globally.

AUM of $2.1 trillion as of Sept. 30, 2025, was flat compared with Sept. 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher market values, partially offset by cumulative net outflows.
Net long-term strategy outflows were $33 billion in the third quarter of 2025, driven by liability-driven investments, equity and index investments, partially offset by inflows of fixed income investments. Short-term strategy inflows were $34 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Market and regulatory trends have resulted in increased demand for lower fee asset management products and for performance-based fees.
Total revenue of $824 million decreased 3% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2025.
Investment Management revenue of $546 million decreased 4% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The decrease compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects the mix of AUM flows and the adjustment for certain rebates (offset in noninterest expense) (refer to note(a) on
20 BNY page 19), partially offset by higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects higher market values.
Wealth Management revenue of $278 million decreased 1% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and increased 3% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects higher market values.
Revenue generated in the Investment and Wealth Management business segment included 28% from non-U.S. sources in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 31% in the third quarter of 2024 and 29% in the second quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense of $640 million decreased 5% compared with the third quarter of 2024 and 2% compared with the second quarter of 2025. The decrease compared with the third quarter of 2024 primarily reflects lower revenue-related expenses (including the adjustment for certain rebates) and efficiency savings, partially offset by employee merit
increases, higher investments and the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. The decrease compared with the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflects lower severance expense.
Total revenue of $2.4 billion decreased 4% compared with the first nine months of 2024. Investment Management revenue of $1.6 billion decreased 7%, primarily reflecting the mix of AUM flows and the adjustment for certain rebates (offset in noninterest expense) (refer to note(a) on page 19), partially offset by higher market values. Wealth Management revenue of $822 million was flat reflecting higher market values, offset by changes in product mix and lower net interest income.
Noninterest expense of $2.0 billion decreased 4% compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily reflecting lower revenue-related expenses (including the adjustment for certain rebates) and efficiency savings, partially offset by higher investments and employee merit increases.
