Ronald J. Kruszewski, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Client assets under administration and fee-based client assets rose by 2% compared to the previous month, reaching impressive totals of $481 billion and $183 billion, respectively. These gains are largely due to ongoing market appreciation and effective recruitment strategies. Additionally, we saw a growth of about $100 million in client money market and insured products during July. The increase in Smart Rate balances helped offset the decline in Sweep balances, indicating a slowdown in cash sorting activities.
