These initiatives are designed to deepen the partnership, leverage complementary strengths, and deliver enhanced services to clients The following tables summarize balances with SMBC as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In addition, the synergies and value creation resulting from our strategic alliance with SMBC generate additive benefits for us, which are not necessarily reflected by the activity presented in the following tables.
