Net income and revenues were down slightly in Q2 2016 at Wells Fargo's wealth and investment management unit versus a year ago.

The wealth and investment management arm of Wells Fargo posted net income of $584 million in Q2 2016 - “relatively flat” compared with the same period a year ago, when it was $586 million.

Revenues of $3.9 billion, meanwhile, slipped 1 per cent from a year ago, primarily driven by lower asset-based fees and brokerage transaction revenue.

The WIM provision for credit losses increased $12 million from a year ago, primarily due to higher net charge-offs.

Wells Fargo & Company as a whole posted net income of $5.6 billion (or $1.01 per diluted common share) for Q2 2016, compared with $5.7 billion (or $1.03 per share) for Q2 2015.
