… and banks are responding
w Banks are responding and trying to improve profitability and share price:
- Optimize certain business lines (e.g., Deutsche Bank re-structures Rates business);
- Exit certain activities (e.g., UniCredit exits Equity business, Deutsche Bank exits Commodities and
CDS clearing);
- Refocus on a more profitable business (e.g., UBS focuses on Wealth Management);
- Sell assets which require much capital or non-core assets (e.g., Deutsche Bank to spin off Non-Core
Operational Unit);
- Optimize operational and IT costs
w These single steps are insufficient and more complex strategies are required by investors
(e.g., Deutsche Bank’s “Strategy-2020”)
