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 for Q2 2016, compared with $5.7 billion for Q2 2015. WIM provides wealth management, investment and retirement products and services to clients across US-based based businesses including Wells Fargo Advisors, The Private Bank, Abbot Downing, Wells Fargo Institutional Retirement and Trust, and Wells Fargo Asset Management.
