Brokerage Raymond James reported its latest quarterly earnings yesterday (see the Seeking Alpha transcript here), and the topic of AI and cash sweep accounts was again a big topic. CFO Jonathan Oorlog comments, "Clients' domestic cash sweep and enhanced savings program balances ended the quarter at $57.8 billion, down 1% compared to the preceding quarter and representing 3.7% of domestic ... client assets. Based on April activity to date, domestic cash sweep and enhanced savings program balances have declined due to the collection of record quarterly fee billings of approximately $1.9 billion along with further declines largely driven by the seasonal impact of client tax activity. Combined net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks declined 3% from the prior quarter to $650 million.... The average yield on RJBDP balances with third-party banks decreased 6 basis points to 2.7%, primarily due to the full quarter impact of the Fed interest rate cuts in the December quarter."
