The forces of change COMPLIANCE CAPITAL • Operating models • Risk management • Governance • M&A • Product development • Talent • Strategy • Finance transformation Forces of change impacting decisions in all areas of business, e.g.: CUSTOMERS COMPETITION
Compliance Forces of Change Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) • Requires institutions to identify and document all US account holders • Failure to comply = 30% withholding tax on US-source income and sales proceeds • Applies to all payments made after December 31, 2012 • Still uncertain regulatory environment • highlypoliticized process • inconsistent approach between countries • operational details remain vague • Sovereign states pursuing tax revenue • increased reporting requirements • threat of significant penalties • Lack of trust between governments and financial institutions • lobbying & influence continues • threat of regulatory arbitrage remains
JP Morgan Chase estimates that the US Dodd-Frank financial legislation will cost the bank almost $1 billion in lost revenue. Compliance Impact of Change • Compliance ‘flexibility’’ is now critical • compliance a process not an event • product development a moving target • extra cost of compliance • FSIs facing conflicting regulations • no ‘one size fits all’ fix across borders • significant downside risk • Negative impact of resisting change • could lead to more penalties • spotlight on sensitive areas, e.g. executive compensation
Compliance What will be your focus on regulatory compliance as you prepare for the recovery? Harnessing Change • Develop agile compliance solutions • scalable/flexible data collection • greater training/compensation for compliance function • Balance compliance risk & reward • anticipate and budget for penalties • quantify competitive advantage of flexible compliance function • Scenario planning on ‘tipping-points’ • what triggers a move in location • what triggers a product exit • alternative compensation plans
Capital Forces of Change • “Analysts have predicted that if all the proposed regulations were enacted it would require banks to add an additional $221billionin capital.” • The New York Times • Capital is no longer a ‘commodity’ • cost of capital has increased • decreased use of short-term funding • true value of liquidity now recognized • New capital standards introduced • Basel III for banks • Solvency II for insurers • Definitions of capital have changed • stricter Tier 1 definition • minimum common equity levels increased
Capital What will be your institution’s focus regarding LIQUIDITY? Impact of Change • Has made some products unprofitable • products relying mis-match funding have largely disappeared • increased cost of capital has erased the margins on other products • Greater care in deploying capital • targeted use to ensure risk-adjusted return on capital is maximized • Stable sources of funding now vital • diversified capital sources favored • new liquidity ratios now mandated
Capital What will be your institution’s focus regarding CAPITAL? Harnessing Change • Focus on capital efficient products • identify products most capital efficient • target market leadership in these products; exit non-efficient products • Improve measurement of capital use • use data analytics and modeling to better understand capital performance • data-mine historical data for insight • Target liquidity creating business • higher cash flow businesses attractive • diversify into retail-style areas of the industry to boost liquidity
Customers What do you anticipate will be the most pronounced change in CUSTOMER’S behavior? Forces of Change • Economically damaged • fewer big ticket financial transactions • need to ‘catch-up’ retirement investment plans • More educated about risk • more scrutiny on financial products • flight to quality • Loss of trust with institutions • remain ‘suspicious’ of institutions • threat of customer mobility remains
Customers Impact of Change Percentage of customer indicating they will not switch banks this year • Reduction in fees • fewer mortgage transactions, insurance policies, etc. • customers more price sensitive • Products need to withstand scrutiny • clearer value proposition within each product offering • improved risk management to identify higher risk customers • Customers ‘stickiness’ reduced • increased willingness to change providers J.D.

Customers Harnessing Change What key steps will your institution focus on in order to rebuild TRUST & REPUTATION • Fight to preserve margins • extend efficiency efforts • target less-price sensitive segments • Focus on quality • exist lower quality products • focus on individual customer risk • leverage brands • Rebuild trust & reputation • promote economically constructive activities (e.g. increased lending, etc.) • educate employees on the value and importance of corporate reputation
Competition Forces of Change What positive opportunities have emerged from the financial crisis and economic downturn? • New entrants • non-traditional providers leveraging their service expertise (e.g. Tesco) • entry dependent on attitude of local regulators (e.g. Europe vs USA) • Consolidation • ‘bargain’-driven acquisitions • acquisitions for capital scale • Emerging market players • growing brand presence and sophistication of local providers • regional ambitions of national providers
Competition Impact of Change Number of global financial institutions >$50bn market capitalization • Improving the customer experience • traditional providers need to improve service responsiveness 45 2007 • ‘Dumb-bell’ shaped sectors • larger leading institutions • fragmentation and specialization at lower end • Erosion of experience advantage • ‘western’ providers cannot rely simply on superior industry experience 28 2010
