Dec 11 (Reuters) – Financial institution of America (BAC.N) on Monday promoted 334 workers to change into managing administrators, a cohort that was 8% smaller than within the earlier yr.

The brand new promotions included 75 funding bankers and 64 workers from the buying and selling division.

For the fourth consecutive yr, greater than half of the group is comprised of girls and other people of colour, a financial institution spokesperson mentioned.

The second-largest U.S. lender expects to outperform rivals on funding banking charges within the fourth quarter, its CEO Brian Moynihan mentioned final week.

“We’ll be at about $1 billion in charges this quarter,” reflecting a low single-digit decline, Moynihan informed buyers at a convention. The industry-wide funding banking payment pool is anticipated to drop by 10% to fifteen%, he mentioned.

Business executives mentioned dealmaking situations have begun to enhance, with some predicting a greater outlook for strategic mergers and acquisitions on the Goldman Sachs U.S. Monetary Companies Convention final week.
