The investment-banking business Harris Williams is also on track for a record year, after the 2025 acquisition of Aqueduct Capital Group added private-equity and private-credit capital-raising capabilities and the 2023 merger with Sixpoint Partners expanded capital-solutions and primary-fund-placement capabilities. Fee-generating businesses including capital markets, M&A advisory and treasury management now account for about 40% of corporate-bank revenue, and the January 2026 acquisition of FirstBank, converted in June 2026, expanded PNC's presence across Colorado and Arizona, with Colorado emerging as its fastest-growing asset-management market.
