Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") amounted to $27.6 trillion at Dec. 31, 2013, an increase of 5% compared with the prior year and 1% sequentially. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher market values and net new business. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher market value. Assets under management ("AUM") amounted to a record $1.58 trillion at Dec. 31, 2013, an increase of 14% compared with the prior year and 3% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily resulted from net new business and higher equity market values. The sequential increase primarily reflects higher equity market values. Long-term inflows totaled $2 billion and short-term inflows totaled $6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Investment services fees totaled $1.68 billion, an increase of 5% year-over-year and a decrease of 3% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher asset servicing fees driven by higher market values and organic growth, higher clearing services fees resulting from higher mutual fund fees, asset-based fees and volumes and higher issuer services fees driven by higher Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by the continued run-off of high margin securitizations in Corporate Trust and lower securities lending revenue primarily due to lower spreads. The sequential decrease primarily reflects seasonally lower Depositary Receipts revenue, partially offset by higher asset servicing fees and clearing services fees.
Investment management and performance fees were $904 million, an increase of 6% year-over-year and 10% sequentially. The growth rates in both prior periods were negatively impacted by approximately 1% due to the sale of the Newton private client business. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher equity market values, net new business and higher performance fees, partially offset by higher money market fee waivers and the average impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. The sequential increase primarily reflects seasonally higher performance fees and equity market values.
Foreign exchange and other trading revenue totaled $146 million compared with $139 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $160 million in the third quarter of 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, foreign exchange revenue totaled $126 million, an increase of 19% year-over-year and a decrease of 18% sequentially. The year-over-year increase primarily reflects higher volumes and volatility. The sequential decrease was primarily driven by lower volatility, partially offset by higher volumes. Other trading revenue was $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $33 million in fourth quarter of 2012 and $6 million in the third quarter of 2013. The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects lower derivatives trading revenue. The sequential increase was primarily driven by higher fixed income trading revenue, partially offset by lower equity derivatives trading revenue.
Investment and other income was a loss of $60 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with income of $116 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and income of $135 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decreases compared with both prior periods primarily reflect a loss related to an equity investment.
Net interest revenue and the net interest margin (FTE) were $761 million and 1.09% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $725 million and 1.09% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $772 million and 1.16% in the third quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase in net interest revenue was primarily driven by higher average interest-earning assets. The sequential decrease primarily reflects a change in the mix of interest-earning assets, partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets.
The net unrealized pre-tax gain on our total investment securities portfolio was $309 million at Dec. 31, 2013 compared with $723 million at Sept. 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in market interest rates.

The provision for credit losses was $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, a credit of $61 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and a provision of $2 million in the third quarter of 2013. The provision in the fourth quarter of 2013 was driven by an increase in the allowance for a municipal-related entity.

Supplemental information – Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures

BNY Mellon has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures based upon Tier 1 common equity and tangible common shareholders' equity. BNY Mellon believes that the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets and the ratio of tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets of operations are measures of capital strength that provide additional useful information to investors, supplementing the Tier 1 and Total capital ratios which are utilized by regulatory authorities. The ratio of Basel I Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets excludes preferred stock and trust preferred securities from the numerator of the ratio. Unlike the Basel I Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, the tangible common shareholders' equity ratio fully incorporates those changes in investment securities valuations which are reflected in total shareholders' equity. In addition, this ratio is expressed as a percentage of the actual book value of assets, as opposed to a percentage of a risk-based reduced value established in accordance with regulatory requirements, although BNY Mellon in its calculation has excluded certain assets which are given a zero percent risk-weighting for regulatory purposes. Further, BNY Mellon believes that the return on tangible common equity measure, which excludes goodwill and intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, is a useful additional measure for investors because it presents a measure of BNY Mellon's performance in reference to those assets which are productive in generating income. BNY Mellon has provided a measure of tangible book value per share, which it believes provides additional useful information as to the level of such assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding. BNY Mellon has presented its estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio based on its interpretation, expectations and understanding of the final Basel III rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, on a fully phased in basis and on the application of such rules to BNY Mellon's businesses as currently conducted. The estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is necessarily subject to, among other things, BNY Mellon's further review and implementation of the final Basel III rules, anticipated compliance with all necessary enhancements to model calibration, and other refinements, further implementation guidance from regulators and any changes BNY Mellon may make to its businesses. Consequently, BNY Mellon's estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio may change based on these factors. Management views the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio as a key measure in monitoring BNY Mellon's capital position and progress against future regulatory capital standards. Additionally, the presentation of the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is intended to allow investors to compare BNY Mellon's estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio with estimates presented by other companies.

BNY Mellon has presented revenue measures which exclude the effect of noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment management funds and a loss related to an equity investment; and expense measures which exclude M&I expenses, litigation charges, restructuring charges and amortization of intangible assets. Return on equity measures and operating margin measures, which exclude some or all of these items, are also presented. Return on equity measures also exclude the (benefit) net charge related to the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits. BNY Mellon believes that these measures are useful to investors because they permit a focus on period-to-period comparisons which relate to the ability of BNY Mellon to enhance revenues and limit expenses in circumstances where such matters are within BNY Mellon's control. The excluded items, in general, relate to certain ongoing charges as a result of prior transactions or where we have incurred charges. M&I expenses primarily relate to the acquisitions of Global Investment Servicing on July 1, 2010 and BHF Asset Servicing GmbH on Aug. 2, 2010. M&I expenses generally continue for approximately three years after the transaction and can vary on a year-to-year basis depending on the stage of the integration. BNY Mellon believes that the exclusion of M&I expenses provides investors with a focus on BNY Mellon's business as it would appear on a consolidated going-forward basis, after such M&I expenses have ceased. Future periods will not reflect such M&I expenses, and thus may be more easily compared with our current results if M&I expenses are excluded. Litigation charges represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Restructuring charges relate to our Operational Excellence Initiatives and migrating positions to Global Delivery Centers. Excluding these charges permits investors to view expenses on a basis consistent with how management views the business.

In this Earnings Release, the net interest margin is presented on an FTE basis. We believe that this presentation provides comparability of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources, and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income. Each of these measures as described above is used by management to monitor financial performance, both on a company-wide and business-level basis.

Estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio – Non-GAAP calculated under the Standardized Approach	10.6%	10.1%	N/A


Under the Advanced Approach:
Total risk-weighted assets – Basel I	$ 113,354	$ 114,404	$ 111,180
Add: Adjustments (c)	17,495	17,179	33,104
Total estimated Basel III risk-weighted assets	$ 130,849	$ 131,583	$ 144,284

Estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio – Non-GAAP calculated under the Advanced Approach	11.3% (d)	11.1%	9.8%
(a) At Dec. 31, 2013 and Sept. 30, 2013, the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio is based on our interpretation of and expectations regarding the final rules released by the Federal Reserve on July 2, 2013, on a fully phased-in basis. For periods prior to June 30, 2013, these ratios were estimated using our interpretation of the NPRs dated June 7, 2012, on a fully phased-in basis.
(b) Preliminary.
(c) Following are the primary differences between risk-weighted assets determined under Basel I and Basel III. Credit risk is determined under Basel I using predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and relies in part on the use of external credit ratings. Under Basel III both the Standardized and Advanced Approaches use a broader range of predetermined risk-weights and asset classes and certain alternatives to external credit ratings. Securitization exposure receives a higher risk-weighting under Basel III than Basel I, and Basel III includes additional adjustments for market risk, counterparty credit risk and equity exposures. Additionally, the Standardized Approach eliminates the use of the VaR approach for determining risk-weighted assets on certain repo-style transactions. Risk-weighted assets calculated under the Advanced Approach also include the use of internal credit models and parameters as well as an adjustment for operational risk.
(d) Changes in January 2014 to the probable loss model associated with unsecured wholesale credit exposures within our Advanced Approach capital model will impact risk-weighted assets. The Company did not include the impact at Dec. 31, 2013. However, a preliminary estimate of the revised methodology to the portfolio at Sept. 30, 2013 would have added approximately 6% to the risk-weighted assets.
N/A – Not available.
