Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide more color on Wealth earnings and whether the current margin is a reasonable run rate going forward? A: Mike Katz, CFO, explained that the spread-based assets were slightly higher than expected, which contributed to the current margin. However, these assets are expected to moderate. The outlook for Wealth will also be influenced by macroeconomic factors and some expense seasonality. OneAmerica's acquisition plays a role, and targeted investments are being made, which may affect expenses slightly.
