EQUITIES

Report highlights:

  • A more volatile market environment than we have seen for some time.
  • Strong results in Equity and Fixed Income helped partially counter weaker investment banking activity.
  • Investment Banking was impacted by the uncertain macroeconomic environment.
  • Fixed Income net revenues increased substantially from a year ago reflecting strength in macro businesses and in commodities on increased client activity and volatility in the markets
