question next your Our Hawken, line is Please Mr. go Hawken ahead. from UBS. with open. Brennan is

way deals? asset of start for was with cost forma on for sensitivity on historical XXX my your inclusion M&A these help point to for think you to sheet had then could question. about the how Sorry, a impact the and to pro that to the I sensitive be like call basis And rates? you what contextualize the do BBH, taking or to I’d mute. Thanks maybe acquisition would a could Thanks. talk balance about of you expect types right conservative, expenses the investors, savings also is Eric, what’s discussed range assumption shift in that would

Sure.

Let me early the it’s leg the other and Brothers And Brown side into of Services. obviously, then P&L. with we will part deposit the start on Investment

gotten are now – we in. have We our regulatory now filings

year obviously a We end target are with the and to close. continuing through closing are – process working

They clients. because similar similar and think management-oriented asset betas book what we too it’s and to early in of get sensitivity, a would I it pricing deposits think of it’s well sensitivity I and of adjustments I Street asset have probably model the is at and think asset terms range little betas finely, I say of but In State similar is just similar the the have overall. expectations you that deposit

rates. think different, at Brothers here more deposits attractive bring and I because usual have bank what’s is of than either we flexibility constructive to program, in Brennan, the Brown sweep

be to our leverage by securities the a you also And you we the could leverage of careful have, we so it us or balance preferred and – sheet the that size of enhance way, that which in – constraint that need let have amount that led the model asset protect the to could, us have ratio business. sensitivity, run adjust though constraints in to the

to say, continue. and will manage ability probably think overall, one that an a And or NII through it’s the a cycle deposits leverage. functionality I program I that us same So add and the that’s new with to and constructive in but ballpark to would rate they either bring

In terms did the a hopeful side. on of be I I the conservative say was expense guide, it’d bit

reduction I a guide expense XX%. think was of about the for

kind lower I before. on we’ve of, achieved end of So think, what the

that expense And why but too lower the think – own we started we’ve But guess, the because – all end in bring past, acquisition there past what and it’s on, bring savings happens at that’s the integration it’s to this we deals and I in an been and I functionality in fully to is targets. and of offering. every think from finished We see. said need we think I’ve will made integrated deal to, business our our sure I forcefully created is compare gets I all that the different. not hard to always

I think it’s early.

we can those posted. as we And – hopeful of I early will I like we we by where January, we to think certainly will guidance stand estimates exceed some think the it’s but to I’m meet as little we be and But I keep can, give want those. the – you see far. certainly I lean will guidance. too to in always to cost a certainly if And

about it’s we’ve Ron. this just would about Hey, add is that It capabilities geographic and emphasized reach acquisition. talent. and I to is Brennan, What

synergies, about about we exist I some instances, at the here, think them is we’re thinking Brown just that you mean Brothers. there as synergies over will. So capabilities as combined there if is better where

on expectation color. color Thanks and know some question, fourth whatnot. when Great. provided for invest expense my I to for the you needs Eric, second Ron, the actually, to made you then that all probably it’s And early. quarter reference

much very But the XXXX. hear of budget probably the broadly. starting cost to investors. on minds is You’re We on just about for it inflation work

Eric Jim, it’s again. Sure.

whether securities of consume We sheet, on have and or a you or balance balance got think earnings book, how every provide businesses, lending they need our look because for much they our I for example, to assets on sheet always certainly that about versus for could in us. do business the the basis we finance careful all that be opportunities at the standalone asset more custody loan relationship within to it’s enhanced asset the for then client business. that think the a custody, you context have returns. business a give serve to them and them, a or it that much, decent way very because and client borrow they And about take for there not is to serve also to did where finance mix and always but a be securities with enhanced do FX reasonable may of can risk-weighted

one continue while to see I the think seen quarter just some I last quarters, – heavy in think in so will discipline. some will see And growth you you you have of to couple two the very quarters, next

going bit You the a we to sometimes the will think do of next have flows. you and I time, finance. the in some to work revenue ebbs see securities of portion the of over bit can can capital base, of will into I little a given we there some manage And but I beginning of put indication the you our like franchise But an what those. to continue balance think where we more is And of have that the be say grow some little year. seen expenses, fee areas sheet as that quarter-on-quarter I imagine would on continue we

Chubak is Steven Your Wolfe next question from with Research.

Hi, good morning.

the discussing a start wanted just I made to bit conference. actually ago Eric, So you comments some off BAB at

seen has it’s how servicing you it historically? new least and about You framed you business what whether of that have regard relative you your store with terms we outcomes based pricing that what us pressures, improved update in and given around new wins, just at expectations thinking algorithm, same-store the growth fee algorithm I can are seeing hoping have to talked sales evolved growth, to the was on on And just you. strengthened maybe

that or business, new couple headwinds, been tailwinds, a you structure. Yes, it think comes referring activity four-part net we It’s Steve, either that neutral negative servicing positive have have are we of and then growth of market mix fee – equity right. company client that from described is have last I inflows, quarters, has the the described and algorithm to I we a that be as that pricing as can

think I the say fortified. that there that way is update still and think to I would I structure been the is

different the around move think bit. I areas a

would tailwinds, market very I think we don’t market. year. equity flat we we like to market equity see every equity a but that to going are strong I year, tailwinds think to up have see seen this

monetize very can And So, we uptick. we up expenses tailwind equity you part pleased year, take the we that are with. of our market that positive didn’t this the with was way imagine which is

second is activities. one client and The flows

was positive a think this couple a couple points. a of years of by back, I

saw both were packaged X a – think as on the we as I funds Europe. years ago, in or inflows outflows saw the wane in year mutual especially and from we in products U.S. less

in think and activity I flows confident we of less client the felt tailwind.

a wins. year think have we that’s this and get the nicely in we expect given year referenced, after. think implemented market That start business, and new you next to that got to of rebounded I year, actually the as current terms dynamics. strong Net here now continue I year will

been takes I the time, well backlog. are intensely said, day. that pricing, question just controlled first work on has on morning I think that then have but think every this we So, we pleased with and And the as I

structure of that will bring and little – framework. different think a is year different elements Every So, I the mix intact. of the

I of Thanks the rate just other color and improving versus Eric. curious to BBH deposits onboard the increase? maybe helpful the for speak return, for on the sheet at the I percentage a or additional of provided relative $XX than just more my deal disclosed curve, informs attractiveness know option. your capital dividend having follow-up, the rate taking which on-boarding deposits, time how of and color you of the billion flex the buybacks that to just larger And like of willingness forward you forms backdrop, suite it was some sensitivity, off-balance just from

Remember, our ratio a is not aperture right, capital ratio, the leverage little risk-weighted equity me really let And measure, around CETX, constraint measure. Tier up a open which X Sure. bit. our common a of is core the asset-based

need So, leverage within to on we ratio, the bounds. of kind just be

really are rate we at. within decision is the what sitting levels and so And NII around on reason deposits

is the way not zero, or two hikes, when think call have it, the prevailing of balance flip I rates, about three deposits Fed around points tends the Fed near basis to around short funds sheet. positives rate you at are breakeven XX current That the to to levels, at funds. think incentive on

You prefer be or start at XXX you you around sheet. and to the funds would points basis on in to the neutral right start a Fed position be the of deposits more way balance

to seriously it’s somewhere instead holding now, more instead we – benefit of so being the call them rate it, begin thinking from about of And that where in deposits hikes adding off. three area, two, of

margin decisions that be in, us And And helps because – have sheet third have But the the to it will our would we and balance rates are careful will and the side. trade so some And we I just just will the and like we sheet balance size. with to NII, that manage the decision criteria seen to which think is at our quarter and additional bring we conscious get in EPS. the off quarter about you the point, make will next where that quarter first prevailing year. we question second

will in that know well, continue deposits it sheet. do like judiciously You clients can. think our best it’s where manage as fact, to this we we balance quarter. bringing while not And on we saw – I and And serving we the to as

so for much Eric. great taking Thanks That’s my questions. color

Sure.

Hi Gerard.

now have with it those of also, were wins how the somebody when under that And there are couple internally from from this on Eric dynamics? at can yourself? us do out or you it the the look two numbers in guys going go chosen they like a to of quarter custody you are compared break in share to wins, companies prior years? coming with look and And can either coming geographically? your competitors, asset just doing shift you Is

is question with next Rob Wildhack from Autonomous Your Research.

guys. morning Good

in left is going side, quarter, a forward? and you much one sort that Just side? do how any been on more savings expense to you productivity increases expenses more How highlighted recently. do the can continue the there productivity other offset much to on that’s think this some of trend And

kinds Rob, it service for progress as see, of is more. see assembly just people-driven as years. we opportunity a robots. we eliminate have productivity at a trying in AI, just It’s bunch And we line the the now like to couple that hard automation, with opportunities. work. actually And do against substituting easy see It’s of and activity-by-activity, a making really we substitute manufacturing not other substituting of progress more reconciliations. And are despite we been to that,

and it of requires to we opportunities So, more we – this. see several work, see do this ongoing more over but next work to continue engineering, as the and years ongoing

into about But of not was what add I And And the revenue, behind would are year need to we we revenue, that’s to really we just our but adjust leg talked Eric. starting ahead like investments. of behind a Part doing. as also revenue, end the and the we invest Rob, to outlook strong bit. little that incentives we reward performance. just it’s

processes, One honest, be and development of automate is actually engineering those work, so forth. to work right, processes investments, to simplify

is that work are benefit. we so, And an years X into even is several quarters quarter now, beginning actually part some now, from that what of engineering from there now, fourth from year of doing the so a

that’s hard in comes as it so takes real Ron where gets and as it said, well. done But And work together it phases.

that. Thank you for it. Got

Sure.

Your next is with from question JPMorgan. Vivek Juneja

remember questions the you of for Eric. else something and BBH announcement us Hi, additional What Ron. – time the talk what I acquisition, are the bit Hi, this period? payment that price of on color tied give the couple of gotten is presumably have it on purchase over earn-outs. price, a these or for driver And you would the getting something Can part about little and are and above A folks saying you you cash that? there that. over or you of that on is call about what’s is can partners some who to a purchase

an not is there payment here. so Vivek, extra contingent Yes,

here. our have was as let’s expected put it place, we and we about But So, that of what talked – aside. accretion put in part

everybody – with in retention. put place pool retention success-based And quite plan client basically, well and broad It’s on-boarding have as factors it’s in is into the based. well, staff being BBH deep We an – retention. incentive as that’s staff the in There fairly is there management terms senior in client of there of of terms out out targets participates there management retention. And targets all a desired that.

growing which BBH So, talent. around it what aligned people client was our and we keeping base really about, meant to is our best align are

Eric. it’s Vivek, And

see acquisition You will the costs restructuring those line. in

They to real our combination, here. purposely are in execution modest. do in or deal. are it they given the And but are the and acquirer any bounding us financials. we is including what a there in would it benefit – other a But you So, expect

Okay. Great.

And is maybe this sweep much BBH that is you, mentioned Another the more much previously sweep where program because banks what’s you Eric, would renew how to would not capital it much you one the that BBH that not risk if on – of how and need who are of on? who you have want constraints? alternative at of – take to couldn’t, too, So, of that? to how deposits those for

program. for comes come lot Yes, certainly, program our and part Vivek, of The any is of diligence, bank we there, acquisition, expenses, at it provider. there and modest to wallet opportunity, revenues the a – the looked together of sweep is enormous every one we it how as this together counterparties. share not how bank part of when comes sweep the It’s

said top the I XX banks. But billion, is think what swept today I think across about large $XX bank about important. we you away $XX think XX if swept away, are billion providers

know actually done sub-custody well counterparties, business We often of we real about engaged and do did we on most those have constraint. in extremely talking right. And with each we we have or who business and capacity do are of arrangements. bank those with, terms whom of counterparties the other You not a with side – we

of there so there that is And have. is a kind relationships we – set of a bidirectional

little sweep see actually of risk this – is don’t So, opportunity little be extremely a to U.S. more, I would point less. lot core that need at patriotic we a U.S. say to don’t of and the say and sweeps I an to valuable cash see of dollar sweep an currency. more a and deposit is dollar the What in the

And certainly are banks. that’s valuable and – so to they so global U.S.

for a some I it continuing we upside good with have and so optionality us. And think got see up, set we program

Thank you. Okay.

Sure.

is question Mayo from next Wells Fargo. with Your Mike

Hi.

If your provide investment next more simply tweaking That on like of the can budgets phase anything phrase, going like something than more significant for into sounds growth. color that. business year-end you or

Alpha, investing How on of is overall you if budget tech that bank? the the you tech And markets, Thanks. talked change is such tech know cloud areas? from of I give growth, this the and private color budget. maybe the about much digital next How it now? but increase where to the to the talk when space, looking So, just tech you areas of which strategy you are much phase about you are or other as more

Mike, it’s Ron.

period investing has as have earlier, Eric As several these we we recent behind I this have invested noted, been last said through our all revenue And years. along most growth.

opportunities, been have of And So, not in. where the in gates our is growth we been and the how off to investment necessarily second, it’s can what this coming spending. fund growth do our BAU

the area think the growth. it cyber us, under has whole this I past in, – are you about probably several there And isn’t whole much it run mix butter area, the positioning area, it’s if resilience anticipate bank. of a what the where It is investing investment of terms for have growth, would shift you But I other change or pet total – the bank of see of mean, been would of a say everybody kind changing from meaningful really run meaningful BAU the I perspective. seen terms where kind of than fall thing. years, here in that on not In their Alpha a we us balance from bit a peanut resilience additional of a really, be a the thing amounts. imposed all we going that over much the is little little we of would certainly to project. think things really is a gets something to change those about for

a space. in of the we kind primarily. in are we growing, past, gathering made of why, So, which particularly, those space, investments private would have would in be for to ETFs, example, disproportionate European mean What I there Digital add and State all are – active to Global in selectively Alpha but I share the ETF and the made the and what low-cost ETFs that, we invest we we in market continuing Advisors. investments explain that Street
