Fiduciary Earnings & Expenses 2023 found that the average asset threshold needed to breakeven became more variable, depending on the type of institution. Until 2022, the breakeven point had been declining for all institution types. FEE 2023 compares performance among independent trust companies to that of OCC national trust companies and to bank trust divisions National trust companies continue to report the highest break-even point, at an average of $488 million.
