Citigroup’s Wealth Management Unit Sees Significant Uptick in Q4 Earnings
Citigroup’s efforts to revamp its wealth management unit are paying off, with a substantial increase in net income reported for the fourth quarter. The unit’s net income soared to $334 million, a remarkable jump from $21 million during the same period last year. This notable improvement can be attributed to a combination of higher revenue and reduced expenses.
Reorganizing for Success
As part of Citigroup’s comprehensive turnaround strategy, CEO Jane Fraser has restructured the company around five core businesses, with the wealth management unit being one of them. Historically, the wealth business has struggled to compete with its peers, earning the label “subscale.” However, Citigroup is committed to turning things around, making it a top priority to drive growth in this area over the next two years.
A Focus on Growth
According to an investor presentation filed alongside the earnings report, Citigroup is determined to expand its wealth management business in 2025 and 2026. This renewed focus on growth is expected to yield significant benefits for the company, as it seeks to reclaim its position in the competitive wealth management landscape. With Fraser at the helm, Citigroup is poised to make meaningful strides in this critical area of its business.
