(Feb. 11, 2016 --Chicago, IL) -- Gross revenue growth remained in positive territory in the third quarter of 2015, even as assets declined, according to Trust Performance Report's quarterly update. TPR is a sister publication of Trust Regulatory News. Based on TPR's fourth quarter projections, 2015 is expected to be the sixth consecutive year of quarter-to-quarter revenue growth. In the third quarter, 3 out of 4 institutions reported positive revenue growth, while only 1 in 3 reported assets gains. Midtiers reported some of the best asset and revenue Performance.

Declines in total industry assets resulted from the performance among the largest institutions, Peer Group 1 (assets greater than $100 billion) -- reflecting activity in nonmanaged accounts. Only seven of the industry's 26 giants reported assets gains. A notable exception among large institutions continues to be TIAA-CREF Trust Company, which reported asset growth from new accounts of 194 percent in 2015. High returns on growing managed assets are boosting revenues, offsetting the income impact that institutions might otherwise feel from declines in total assets. Managed assets are generally held in "traditional" account categories. These include personal trusts (including foundations), investment management agencies, and employee benefit trusts, or P.I.E. Traditional assets comprise only 13 percent of total industry assets; however, they generate 50 percent of total gross revenues because they have significantly higher returns than do assets held in other account categories.
