CEO XXXX XXXXXXXX said, “Our contemporary full-service model continues to build stronger client relationships and drive record growth, even during times of market uncertainty. In the first quarter, investors experienced sharp market swings after nine consecutive quarters of positive X&X 500® returns. Amidst the volatility, client interactions surged as we offered the insight and assistance they expect – call volumes and web logins from both our retail and independent advisor clients were up nearly XX% and XX% from their respective quarterly averages. Engagement remained strong during the quarter, with trading activity rising nearly XX% year-over-year to a new all-time high and clients continuing to be net buyers of securities. New accounts totaled XXX,000 company-wide – the highest quarterly level in XX years. In addition, households new to our Retail business rose XX% versus the first quarter of 20XX. Excluding planned mutual fund clearing outflows of $XX.4 billion, our clients entrusted us with record quarterly core net new assets of $X5.6 billion, implying an annualized growth rate of 7.8% – a level not seen since 20XX. This strength in asset gathering spanned our largest businesses, as Advisor Services and Retail both set new records, with inflows up XX% and XX%, respectively, from last year. Our outstanding organic growth helped to partially offset market declines, and we ended the quarter serving $X.31 trillion in client assets, up XX% from last year, across XX.0 million active brokerage accounts, 1.X million banking accounts, and X.6 million retirement plan participants.”
