Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) terminated over a dozen employees in its wealth and investment management division for allegedly falsifying work activity. The terminations follow an investigation into the use of devices to simulate keyboard activity. This incident is reminiscent of a 2018 probe into expense policy breaches at the company. Despite the finance sector's push for office returns, Wells Fargo has delayed its return compared to JP Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS).
