Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“Looking ahead, we expect to invest an incremental $100 million into building Trump Accounts with approximately half in Q2 as we prepare to launch. We're excited for this. These costs include building an exceptional user experience, a brand-new app, best-in-class customer service and educational content. Importantly, our work for Trump Accounts is contracted on a cost-plus basis with a small margin, so we expect revenues to exceed costs.” Shiv Verma, CFO
“Net deposits are already approximately $5 billion month-to-date. Retirement assets just crossed $30 billion. Now to Q1 results, all compared to a year ago. Revenues grew 15% to $1.07 billion, driven by growth across the business.” Shiv Verma, CFO
