The New York-based bank said profit of $2.63 billion, or $1.47 a share, fell 29% from a year earlier. Revenue of $12.99 billion dropped 12% from a year earlier, driven by the fall-off in investment banking and declines in investment management revenue.
Shares of the bank slumped 4.4% in early trading.
