CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Near-zero interest rates continue to be a headwind for results in the Private Client Group segment, but the 16% sequential increase of assets in fee-based accounts should boost asset management fees in the fiscal fourth quarter. The fixed income business generated record revenues and pre-tax income during the quarter, driven by a high level of client activity, which has continued thus far in July. Given the high degree of uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we plan to continue selectively selling corporate loans in the secondary market to further reduce exposure to certain sectors.
