Speaker 1: Vice Chairman and CEO of Investment Services for B and
Speaker 1: Y Melon. Welcome and thank you for inviting us here.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, Kathleen. Pleased to be here and thrilled to
Speaker 1: be here with you and UH and also with two
Speaker 1: hundred of our top investment management and asset owner institutional
Speaker 1: asset owner clients UH to share ideas and insights with
Speaker 1: each other. Well, it's certainly been huh. I love it.
Speaker 1: Give you a little little metaphor, you know, rocky time
Speaker 1: for the investment industry the past few years. And as
Speaker 1: you know, I went on one of the hikes here
Speaker 1: around the hotel yesterday. You go straight at four or
Speaker 1: five feet, your hearts pounding. But it is kind of
Speaker 1: a good men for though, for what people feel sometimes
Speaker 1: in this industry. Where are we now and what are
Speaker 1: the big questions that your clients have as they try
Speaker 1: to climb those hills. Yeah, I think we continue to
Speaker 1: be in a historic period of of change in the industry. UM.
Speaker 1: It's a it's really an unprecedented period of time in
Speaker 1: terms of lower than normal economic growth rates, obviously lower
Speaker 1: than normal or in case in many cases, negative interest
Speaker 1: rates in Europe and Japan and other places. Very high
Speaker 1: amount of regulatory change which is really unabated since the
Speaker 1: financial crisis. UH, and pretty rapid change in technology as well.
Speaker 1: So the combination of all those changes is challenging financial
Speaker 1: institutions and investment managers UM, and you know, creating new
Speaker 1: opportunities as well. We at B and Y MELON UM
Speaker 1: are the largest provider of services to investment managers globally
Speaker 1: around the world, and this conference is designed to help
Speaker 1: help our clients adapt to all that change and navigate
Speaker 1: all that change and UH and frankly, we don't we
Speaker 1: don't see any you know, any let up inside. So
Speaker 1: our focuses on UM recognizing this all that uncertainty, all
Speaker 1: that change in the air, trying to focus on the
Speaker 1: things we can control to help our clients UH reinvent
Speaker 1: their business, transform their business models, and actually drive higher
Speaker 1: returns for investors and higher returns for the for their
Speaker 1: companies as well. Alright, UH, stock market volatility is how
Speaker 1: how how do you fit in that in that in
Speaker 1: that question of what people are dealing with when it
Speaker 1: comes to clients and managing their money and what the
Speaker 1: and and what you can do for them and what
Speaker 1: the questions are right now? Yeah, I think, um, I
Speaker 1: think you know, all the market volatility, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: lower lower than normal ingistrates which affect investors, UH, market
Speaker 1: volatility across different asset classes, all of that is challenging
Speaker 1: traditional investment managers to drive you know, the kinds of
Speaker 1: returns that investors really want and expect um. And all
Speaker 1: the change in technology UH and other challenges regulatory wise
Speaker 1: and otherwise are causing investment managers to want to focus
Speaker 1: on the investment process. For from our for our business,
Speaker 1: that's actually an opportunity because what we do is we
Speaker 1: provide the technology platforms UH, the settlement declaring, the custody
Speaker 1: solutions that they need, and we we create shared economies
Speaker 1: of scale which lower the cost of investing and try
Speaker 1: to enable our asset management and asset owner clients to
Speaker 1: UH to serve their clients more effectively. All right, stock
Speaker 1: the stock market volatility, we're looking at that here in Tucson, Arizona.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to UH, New York City, Bloomberg World
Speaker 1: Headquarters are stocks that are Dave Wilson to weigh in
Speaker 1: on the stock market to day. There's a lot going
Speaker 1: on in the market day, but it's basically overall flat,
Speaker 1: covering up a lot of interesting news and a lot
Speaker 1: of interesting stories. Absolutely. I mean, you look at the
Speaker 1: S and P five hundred and you're seeing very little
Speaker 1: volatility there. It's been within two tents of a percent
Speaker 1: of last eeaks closed all day. So if you want volatility,
Speaker 1: you really have to look, especially to the deal stocks
Speaker 1: that you've got. Monsanto's shares up more than five percent
Speaker 1: after we we found out that Bears offer for the
Speaker 1: company UH sixty two billion dollars a hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: two dollars to share UH Monsanto trading at one of
Speaker 1: six sixty nine at the moment, so there's a long
Speaker 1: way from there to the value of the offer. And
Speaker 1: then you have a deal that actually fell apart in
Speaker 1: the fertilizer business. See if Industries Holdings was looking to
Speaker 1: buy a Dutch company, o c I moved their headquarters
Speaker 1: in essence off shore for tax purposes. Well, we know
Speaker 1: the government here in the US has clamped down on that,
Speaker 1: so they decided to get out of that deal. In
Speaker 1: the stocks up more than six percent in response to
Speaker 1: that decision. So on the other hand, you look at
Speaker 1: Signa being down more than four percent, the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal reporting on disputes between that company and Anthem, which
Speaker 1: made a deal to get together some months back. And
Speaker 1: he got Tribune Publishing, the owner of the Chicago Tribune
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Times, down fifty and a half
Speaker 1: percent after deciding to not go with an offer from
Speaker 1: Gannette and instead selling almost percent stake to a billionaire
Speaker 1: drug executive. So lots of developments on the take over front, uh,
Speaker 1: just not a whole lot of overall directions to the
Speaker 1: market at this point. So what's uh, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna look at when you come back in an hour
Speaker 1: with your chart of the data. Well, you know we're
Speaker 1: gonna check out what's happened when it comes to uh dividends.
Speaker 1: That's something that Jeffreys focused on in their latest research.
Speaker 1: And you know that the way they see a dividend
Speaker 1: growth just as important as earnings these days. And we'll
Speaker 1: find out why. Well, always interesting when our stocks that are.
Speaker 1: Dave Wilson is on board. He will be back with
Speaker 1: an hour with more and we're gonna continue our live

Speaker 1: n Y Melon. Uh. It's they're launching an asset strategy
Speaker 1: view a new a new program they have in Pim
Speaker 1: is the moderator, so he's doing that well. I speak
Speaker 1: to a very important person here at this conference, Brian
Speaker 1: Shay He's vice chairman and CEO of Investment Services for
Speaker 1: b N Y Melon. Where at dub Mountain, the rich
Speaker 1: Calton here uh near Tucson, a resort in the midst
Speaker 1: of the beautiful, beautiful mountains and two hundred plus clients. Briana,
Speaker 1: you have been at b N Y Melon for thirty
Speaker 1: three years now. First when you start with Pershing, which
Speaker 1: b N Y Melon acquired, but and so you've you've
Speaker 1: been there a while. But the company itself, B and
Speaker 1: Y Melon celebrating it's two thirties sec at anniversary. That's
Speaker 1: really something, it really is. I mean, it's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're proud be part of a company that's managed to
Speaker 1: be a market leader in its business for two hundred
Speaker 1: thirt two years. That's increasingly rare and unusual, and it's
Speaker 1: pricely precisely because we've been able to sort of lead
Speaker 1: and manage change, which are skill sets that come in
Speaker 1: pretty handy in these markets in this environment as well.
Speaker 1: But we were founded by um, you know, a visionary leader,
Speaker 1: Alexander Hamilton's uh not only one of the founding fathers
Speaker 1: of our country, but the first Treasury Secrets of the
Speaker 1: United States, UM and UM you know, literally in many respects,
Speaker 1: the sort of founder of moderate capitalism in America. So
Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool thing. The Bank of New York
Speaker 1: MELON made the Bank of New York at the time
Speaker 1: made the first documented loan UH in the history of
Speaker 1: the country, a ten thousand dollar loan actually to UH
Speaker 1: to the government of the United States. So in many respects,
Speaker 1: we think of ourselves as helping to propel what has
Speaker 1: been a pretty strong economic success story UH for the
Speaker 1: last two hundred plus A years. So it's a pretty
Speaker 1: cool regulation regulatory change. It's certainly something that over the
Speaker 1: past almost decade now a lot of people in the
Speaker 1: financial services industry are dealing with a lot of big
Speaker 1: banks and leaving smaller banks. Are saying it's tough, it's
Speaker 1: tougher to make money. They wonder if there's too much regulation.
Speaker 1: But you have said that, you for being my melon.
Speaker 1: You see an opportunity, business opportunity in all this regulatory change.
Speaker 1: Why what is it? Well, first of all, we um
Speaker 1: in the way of the financial crisis. There's no question that,
Speaker 1: you know, industry leaders need to embrace responsible regulatory reform,
Speaker 1: regulatory change, and we certainly do so UH things like
Speaker 1: UH you know, focus on capital ratios, liquidity ratios, UH,
Speaker 1: red reduction, systemic risk. All that's really important UH to
Speaker 1: UH to actually embrace and lead that change, to UH
Speaker 1: strengthen investor confidence, confidence in our markets, and ultimately create
Speaker 1: an environment for our companies UH to succeed in a
Speaker 1: way that's actually good for the investor and good for
Speaker 1: the taxpayer as well. So we embrace that. But the
Speaker 1: opportunity for us during a couple of areas, one is
Speaker 1: that our clients are dealing with higher regulatory change costs,
Speaker 1: and so they're looking to variabilize their costs. And the
Speaker 1: investment management space, investment managers are challenged by lots of
Speaker 1: other competitive dynamics, and they're looking to actually reduce their
Speaker 1: own let's increase their focus on the investment process itself
Speaker 1: and reduce their energy and time on technology operations, service delivery,
Speaker 1: and so we're their natural partner to actually provide those
Speaker 1: service to them solutions. That creates a little bit of
Speaker 1: a growth opportunity for us. But more importantly, we look
Speaker 1: at regulatory change as an opportunity to reinvent our business
Speaker 1: and to actually change our value proposition for our clients
Speaker 1: UM and we think you can actually implement responsible regulatory
Speaker 1: reform and still make your business better if you have
Speaker 1: the right mindset about it. I guess the best example
Speaker 1: I could mention is we were at the center of
Speaker 1: UH of an industry wide effort collaborating with the regulators
Speaker 1: to reform the tri party repoll market UM that mark
Speaker 1: it in the way that the financial crisis was identified
Speaker 1: as an area of systemic risk, and together working closely
Speaker 1: with the regulators, UM and other industry participants and leaders,
Speaker 1: we were able to eliminate the intraday liquidity risk. We
Speaker 1: did that by changing the technology and changing the process
Speaker 1: and to end ultimately making our clients more efficient and
Speaker 1: productive and helping them manage their collateral and capital and
Speaker 1: liquidity more effectively. So we ended up making our clients
Speaker 1: more profitable and effective while reducing the systemic risk. Well.
Speaker 1: And just this in the past couple of days, big
Speaker 1: announcement being my Mountain as part of a new a
Speaker 1: new step of new program Industrial and Commercial Bank of
Speaker 1: China is involved to help in institutional investors and money
Speaker 1: managers way to start issuing and trading the Chinese currency.
Speaker 1: What's going on? This sounds pretty important, kind of a
Speaker 1: proud moment when you're when the founder of your company
Speaker 1: is on the ten dollar abil in the United States.
Speaker 1: UH it shows how far the company has come in
Speaker 1: two in thirty two years, when our global leader and
Speaker 1: we serve clients in thirty five countries in a hundred
Speaker 1: of different markets, and we've one of the big opportunities
Speaker 1: is to actually enable more investment global investment UH and
Speaker 1: investment in China, and so together working with the Bloomberg
Speaker 1: Working Group, uh D t C C and B and
Speaker 1: yml and and I C b C, which is the
Speaker 1: longest largest bank in China. Last week we were we
Speaker 1: unveiled and issued the first UM, the first Chinese RMB
Speaker 1: denominated c D in the United States. B and yml
Speaker 1: AND acted as the paying agent and issuing agent UH
Speaker 1: and DT c C cleared the security and so it's
Speaker 1: the first time, and I think it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: the initial phase of what will be much more growth
Speaker 1: than the Chinese global investment Mott, Well, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to watch that very closely. It is such so important
Speaker 1: having that the real and be the Chinese currency more traded,
Speaker 1: more invested, in a very important step of developing China's
Speaker 1: capital markets. Bryant sh thanks for joining us Vice chairman
