In trying to claim the title "No. 1 global wealth manager," Citi is putting a lot of stock in its ability to secure client referrals through its bank. Will it be enough?

Jane Fraser and other Citi execs point to the wealth unit's 9% bump in revenue and 24% increase in investment assets as signs that the firm's recent overhaul is working.

Citi's CEO Jane Fraser assured investors Friday that the megabank was on the rebound from a corporate restructuring and regulatory actions.

Like its Wall Street rival Morgan Stanley, Citi sees a path to trillions in client assets in its workplace division.

The latest appointment comes amid Citi's continued overhaul of its executive ranks and wealth business.

The departure comes amid continued turn at the head of the bank's wealth management ranks.

The megabank, which is eliminating about 5,000 jobs in a first round of restructuring, said that it's paused its annual review of racial and gender pay gaps. Citi will conduct a 2023 review sometime later this year, a source said.

The award was the highest pro rata compensation for executives at the bank.

Wealth management is now one of five divisions in the firm's simplified organization.

The CEO's compensation package included $1.5 million in salary plus stock and cash incentives.

Helen Grace Caldwell told her employees about her side film hustle but neglected to add that her clients were helping her fund it.

Banks, payment companies, mortgage lenders and insurance providers are racing to seize an advantage from generative artificial intelligence. Some have been especially aggressive in deciding which workflows — or entire jobs — can be handed off to AI.

The change comes over massive overhaul as the mega bank seeks to build divison under Sieg.

The megabank, which is in the midst of a massive restructuring, will probably book "a couple of hundred million dollars" of restructuring charges in the fourth quarter, according to its chief financial officer.

The departure follows on the arrival of Andy Sieg and comes amid a global overhaul at the wirehouse.
