Large US banks expanded exposures across most risk-weight categories in Q1 2026, but showed little evidence of a broad shift towards low-risk assets after most opted to adopt the revised enhanced supplementary leverage ratio (eSLR) early.

BNY Mellon drove the largest reallocation among the banks, according to the report.
