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.

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.

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:

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

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.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
