State Street has published its figures for Q1 2019, which reports a 16 percent decrease in securities finance revenue compared to Q1 2018.
The revenue figure of $118 million also marks a 1.7 percent decrease from Q4 2018, which saw securities finance revenue of $120 million.
State Street attributed the decline to its balance sheet repositioning and client de-leveraging throughout Q3 and Q4 2018.
Â鶹´«Ã½ finance revenue continued State Street’s trend of total revenue, which, at $2.9 billion, saw a decrease of 4 percent compared to Q1 2018.
Commenting on the figures, State Street president and CEO Ronald O’Hanley said: “Our performance this quarter reflects the continued challenging conditions in the industry as well as lower client activity.â€
“We have seen these conditions before and know that focusing on what we can control, including better productivity, process re-engineering and greater resource discipline, while also strengthening client relationships, will drive growth.â€
