Fee and commission income rose 19% to S$1.95 billion. This was largely driven by a 45% increase in wealth management fee income. Investment banking, fund management and trade-related fees were also higher year-on-year. Net trading income, primarily treasury-related income from customer flows, was S$515 million, a decline of 3% from S$529 million. Net realised gains from the sale of investment securities were S$431 million as compared to S$198 million a year ago, while net gains from the sale of properties of S$57 million were lower from S$161 million in 2016. Profit from life assurance was 76% higher at S$877 million as compared to S$499 million, achieved through Great Eastern Holdings’ strong underlying business growth and higher investment income from realised gains due to favourable market conditions. 138 OCBC ANNUAL REPORT 2017
