(July 10, 2023 --Chicago, IL) -- Profit margins at trust institutions declined in 2022 for the second consecutive year as expense grew faster than revenue. In 2022, 8 percent of trust institutions reported a negative profit margin, up from 4 percent in 2021. The gap between the industry average and the industry median widened for both profit margins and expenses, suggesting larger variances in performance among trust institutions. Preliminary analysis of expenses and profit margin by institution type suggests that independent trust companies reported smaller increases in expenses than did their counterparts, bank trust divisions. The level of concern among trust executives regarding meeting revenue targets varied significantly between bank trust divisions and independent trust companies. Overall, trust executives continue to report a willingness to raise fees, albeit less aggressively than 5 years ago. Just how stable profit margins remain will largely depend on whether the majority of institutions see lower expense increases in 2023 than in 2022. These and other findings are detailed in A.M.
