(June 8, 2016 --Chicago, IL) -- Generating higher revenues remains the focus of trust and bank executives, which may have driven a large number of institutions to exit the business, according to Trust Performance Report 2016.

For those institutions continuing to offer fiduciary services, 2015 was a good year for the bottom line. While 4 out of every 5 trust institutions reported asset declines, 2 out of every 3 post revenue growth. Regardless of this strong revenue growth, 70 institutions exited the trust business in 2015. The overwhelming majority (84 percent) reported less than $500 million in total assets

In 2016, better than 1 out of 5 trust institutions plan to raise fees. Last year, 15% of trust institutions reported raising fees.

Trust Performance Report, a sister publication of TRN, surveys bank trust divisions, national trust companies, and state-chartered trust companies. The annual performance survey is conducted in March. Complete findings and analysis of 1400 institutions are published in TPR's 184-page report (for information on ordering or to receive sample copies, see below). Information is updated quarterly.

Trust industry assets shrank for first time in 8 years (down to $102 trillion). This was driven largely by declines among the industry's 3 largest institutions: States Street, BNY Mellon, and Chase.

Among Peer Group 1 institutions (those with assets in excess of $100 billion), TIAA-CREF, St. Louis, was the standout performer reporting asset growth of 212%. A company spokesman confirmed the growth was from new business. Even with TIAA's triple-digit performance, Peer Group 1 reported an average loss of better than 3% compared to the prior year.

Midsized institutions (those with assets between $1 billion and $100 billion) were the best performers. Those with assets between $10 billion and $100 billion performed slightly better than those with assets between $1 billion and $10 billion.

State Street’s $27 trillion in total assets (down $1 trillion from the prior year) continued to secure it the No. 1 spot for the third consecutive year. BNY Mellon remains a distance second at $23.8 trillion (also down $1 trillion).

The remainder of the Trillion Dollar Club is comprised of Chase ($20 trillion; down nearly $1 trillion), Citigroup ($12 trillion; unchanged), Northern Trust ($6.3 trillion, up by $200 billion), U.S. Bank ($2 trillion, up $100 billion), Wells Fargo ($1.7 trillion, down $100 billion), and Blackrock Institutional Trust ($1.1 trillion, unchanged).
