Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Results
Global Banking & Markets
Net revenues in Global Banking & Markets were $8.18 billion for the second quarter of 2024, 14% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 16% lower than the first quarter of 2024.
Investment banking fees were $1.73 billion, 21% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting significantly higher net revenues in Debt underwriting, primarily driven by leveraged finance activity, higher net revenues in Equity underwriting, primarily from convertible and initial public offerings, and slightly higher net revenues in Advisory. The firm's Investment banking fees backlog3 increased significantly compared with the end of the first quarter of 2024 and increased slightly compared with the end of 2023.
Net revenues in FICC were $3.18 billion, 17% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting higher net revenues in FICC intermediation (due to significantly higher net revenues in interest rate products and currencies and higher net revenues in mortgages, partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in commodities and lower net revenues in credit products) and significantly higher net revenues in FICC financing (driven by mortgages and structured lending).
Net revenues in Equities were $3.17 billion, 7% higher than the second quarter of 2023, reflecting higher net revenues in Equities intermediation, driven by significantly higher net revenues in derivatives, partially offset by lower net revenues in cash products. Net revenues in Equities financing were slightly lower, reflecting significantly lower net revenues from portfolio financing, largely offset by significantly higher net revenues from prime financing.
Net revenues in Other were $102 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $81 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Asset & Wealth Management
Net revenues in Asset & Wealth Management were $3.88 billion for the second quarter of 2024, 27% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 2% higher than the first quarter of 2024. The increase compared with the second quarter of 2023 reflected net gains in Equity investments compared with net losses in the prior year period, higher Management and other fees and higher net revenues in Debt investments, partially offset by lower net revenues in Private banking and lending.
The increase in Equity investments net revenues primarily reflected net gains from real estate investments compared with significant net losses in the prior year period. The increase in Management and other fees primarily reflected the impact of higher average assets under supervision. Debt investments net revenues were higher, reflecting significantly lower net losses from real estate investments, partially offset by significantly lower net interest income due to a reduction in the Debt investments balance sheet. The decrease in Private banking and lending net revenues reflected the impact of the sale of the Marcus loans portfolio in 2023 (including a gain of approximately $100 million related to the sale of substantially all of the remaining Marcus loans portfolio in the second quarter of 2023).

Provisions for the second quarter of 2024 reflected net provisions related to the credit card portfolio (driven by net charge-offs). Provisions for the second quarter of 2023 reflected net provisions related to the credit card and point-of-sale loan portfolios (driven by net charge-offs and growth) and wholesale loans (driven by impairments), partially offset by a reserve reduction related to the repayment of a term deposit with First Republic Bank.
