Gerald L. Hassell, Chairman and CEO of BNY Mellon, said that the company benefited from the improvement in market values and, more importantly, from its relentless focus on generating organic growth with its broad client base. Hassell said that the company is driving its operational excellence initiatives to improve its efficiency and help mitigate the impact on its high margin revenues due to the low interest rate environment and tepid capital market activity.

At the end of the fourth quarter, BNY Mellon's assets under custody totaled $26.7 trillion, up 9% over the same period in the previous year.

Looking ahead, BNY Mellon expects their debt ceiling issue to remain a worry for investors. Speaking at a conference call after the release of quarterly results, the CEO said that there is still an enormous amount of cash sitting on the sidelines waiting for better certainty and clarity.
