Asset managers, brokerages and banks continue to report first-quarter earnings, but the calls and press releases have been relatively light on money fund and "cash sorting" comments. On the "Charles Schwab Corporation 2024 Spring Business Update Monday, CFO Peter Crawford comments, "The important point is that we sit here today a year removed from the events surrounding the regional banking crisis, we are in a very strong position with nearly all key business and financial indicators improving, in some cases substantially. We have seen meaningful progress back to historical ... organic growth, a continued moderation of client cash realignment activity with the pace slowing even faster than expectations [and] further reduction in the use of supplemental borrowing." Schwab's money fund assets rose to an average of $499.9 billion in Q1'24 from $316.4 billion a year earlier, an increase of $183.5 billion, or 58.0%. Deposits fell from $343.1 billion a year ago to $274.4 billion in Q1, a decline of $68.7 billion, or -20.0%. according to their quarterly earnings release.
