Last September, we defined four possible scenarios for the future . . . Description Bounce Back • The credit and liquidity crunches turn out to be a short-term blip • 2007 H2 is tough but 2007 remains a record year, revenue growth reverts to long term trend from Q1 2008 onwards Steady Recovery • Some players keep struggling in credit in the remaining of 2007, but no major downturn in economy • After identifying all effects and losses due to the current turmoil, capital market revenues growth picks up in 2008H2 The Long Chill • Weakened consumers confidence due to the US housing market downturn leads to a mild dip of economy in early 2008; slight up-tick in default rates hits credit markets • Further interest rate cut in mid-2008 rescues markets, but it takes one year for growth revival Late Tackle • Liquidity support by central banks and continued consumer confidence maintain markets’ stability and growth until around mid-2008 • Inflationary pressures accelerate given loose monetary policy. Fed reverses policy and triggers 2-3 quarters of recession from mid to end 2008 Source: McKinsey
46 . . . which we have now narrowed down to two main scenarios $ Millions Total & CIB revenues Steady Recovery • Benign "soft landing" and quick economic recovery in 2008 • Deal pipelines temporarily dry out creating 3-4 quarters of negative growth in credit, but recover in H2 2008 • Europe and Emerging markets remain strong +6% 2005 06 07 08 09 2010 The Long Chill • Early, mild recession in 2008 • Structural change in credit markets • Continued growth in selected asset classes • Strong growth ex-US -1% 267 2005 06 07 08 09 2010 Note: 2007, 2008, 2009 results include estimated write-downs & write backs Source: McKinsey Global Capital Markets Revenue Pools; McKinsey estimate

There are common trends across all scenarios Regional balance • Emerging markets likely to outgrow developed markets • Western Europe likely to extend lead over North America in terms to total capital markets revenues • North America lags behind Product trends • Commodities and Equity Derivatives with strong prospects under all scenarios • FX, Rates & Cash Equities as winners in "lighter crisis" scenarios and still relatively resilient in steeper crisis • Permanent loss of some revenue pools (esp. structured credit) • Continued attractiveness of annuity-like transactional products Source: McKinsey

Three topics • Scenarios for future of global capital markets • Competitive strategies in response • Possible directions for regulatory reform
Three priorities for maximizing value through a potential downturn Reconfirm & recommit to long term strategy • Continue investment throughout the cycle in strategic priorities • Build emerging markets franchises • Undertake 'no regret' reviews of risk process, capital allocation and non-compensation costs Remain committed to clients and talent • Deepen client relationships, forged through adversity • Re-structure compensation to reward commitment of top talent and strengthen link to long term value creation • Maintain active recruiting strategy at all levels • Reinforce meritocracy Invest in the next waves of innovation • Drive product innovation, e.g., insurance securitization, carbon trading, • Capture convergence opportunities e.g., with asset management • Improve “R&D” and streamline new product development processes • Innovate business and operational models for productivity and efficiency

U.S. now faces a clear choice – bold reforms • Clarify financial market objectives • Move to principles-based and prudential regulation • Enhance regulatory coordination • Reform securities litigation • Modernize charters • Streamline and consolidate agencies • Continue accounting and auditing reforms • Improve immigration policies to ensure needed skills Source: McKinsey
U.S. now faces a clear choice – bold reforms . . . or just muddle through • No clear national objectives • Continue rules-based regulation with emphasis on enforcement • Rely on ad hoc, reactive coordination among agencies • Keep litigious legal environment • Leave charters unchanged • Maintain current complexity and overlap at national and state level • No further accounting or auditing reforms • Leave immigration unchanged • Clarify financial market objectives • Move to principles-based regulation & prudential supervision • Enhance regulatory coordination • Reform securities litigation • Modernize charters • Streamline and consolidate agencies • Continue accounting and auditing reforms • Improve immigration policies to ensure needed skills Source: McKinsey
Some predictions . . . • Current market environment will dominate Congressional and regulatory debates in near term, understandably postponing needed reforms even where there may be growing consensus • More evidence of eroding US competitiveness could drive some consensus reforms this year as a “regulatory stimulus” response before the 2008 elections – e.g. • Principles-based regulation and national standards • Better regulatory coordination …..but need to avoid risk of regulatory over-reaction to current issues • Longer-term reforms – new charters, streamlined and consolidated agencies, securities litigation reforms, immigration reforms – will likely await new Administration and new Congress in 2009-2010 and beyond.
