Meanwhile, the Nebraska-based firm’s quarterly earnings skyrocketed 85%. “It was an excellent quarter as substantial expense reductions drove record net income and EPS. Investor engagement was robust, with strong client net buying,” CFO Steve Boyle said in a statement.  

“At the same time, we’re clearly seeing the expected benefits of our Scottrade acquisition.

The strength of these results more than offset a slight decline in trading revenue compared to the prior record quarter.”
