2013 Federal Reserve Stress Test Results

The Federal Reserve Board released the results last week (3/7/2013) of the latest stress test on the largest 18 U.S. banks.  Results show that The Bank of New York Mellon is currently the best-performing bank with the highest capital ratio (13.2) among all 18 participating banks.  These results provide a high level of confidence in the safety of our client's assets held at Pershing, a BNY Mellon Company.  The worst-performing banks included Morgan Stanley (5.4), Goldman Sachs (5.8), Bank of America (6.8) and Wells Fargo (7.0).  Below is a summary of the results.  To view the results in its entirety, click here.  The Dodd-Frank Act (DFA) stress tests are a set of forward-looking exercises conducted both by the Federal Reserve and by financial companies regulated by the Federal Reserve.  The stress tests are intended to ensure institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during adverse economic conditions so that they do not pose risks to their communities, other institutions, or the broad economy.
