Financial Strength - September 30, 2023

Pershing's core financial strength provides the first measure of protection for our global client assets. Our parent company, BNY Mellon, is a leading provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals. While financial strength does not protect against loss due to market fluctuation, our internal controls and regulatory oversight help maintain our stability and focus.

Pershing

Pershing has over $2 trillion in global client assets (Pershing LLC and global affiliates) and net capital of over $2 billion—well above the minimum requirement.

BNY Mellon

BNY Mellon has $45.7 trillion in assets under custody and/or administration and $1.8 trillion in assets under management.

Evaluation and Segmentation of Assets

As required, Pershing segregates investor assets, which are fully paid-for, from its own assets. Therefore, in the unlikely event of the financial failure of Pershing, investors’ fully paid-for assets will remain separate from Pershing’s own assets.
