(June 6, 2017 --Chicago, IL) -- Trust executives report being more concern with generating new business than on higher revenues, according to Trust Performance Report 2017, which annually reports on the activity of 1400 trust institutions. However, concern varied based on institution type. Trust Performance Report/A.M. Publishing's annual survey (conducted in late March) suggests that bank trust divisions have been less aggressive in increasing fees. For 2017, executives at independent trust companies are more gung ho than their bank counterparts. While 30% of trust company executives in March said they were planning to raise fees in 2017, only 11% of bank trust executives planned to do so in 2017, down from 20% in the prior year. Nearly 9 of 10 trust institutions are divisions of banks. In 2016, assets rebounded, while gross revenue growth was the lowest in the last 6 years. Among bank trust executives, the best performers remain midtier institutions, those with assets between $1 billion and $10 billion. Employee Benefit Trust - Other (primarily IRAs and KEOGHs) was the standout performer in 2016. The business line saw total assets decline for the second consecutive year, but revenues continue to rise.
