Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation
5/7/2019 [ Press Release ] Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Places 31 EMEA Bank ST Issuer Ratings Under Criteria Observation Fitch Ratings-London-07 May 2019: Fitch Ratings has placed 31 Short-Term (ST) Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) and related ST debt level ratings of EMEA-based banks Under Criteria Observation (UCO) following the publication of its cross-sector criteria for Short-Term Ratings on 2 May 2019. A full list of rating actions is below. Fitch intends to conclude full implementation of the criteria, and resolution of all UCO designations within six months of the designation. KEY RATING DRIVERS The ST ratings of the affected banks are determined primarily by correspondence tables linking short-term to long-term ratings. The new ST rating criteria introduced changes to our correspondence table between long-term and ST ratings. Two new cusp points at 'A' and 'BBB+' have been added to the existing three cusp points ('A+', 'A-' and 'BBB'), where baseline or higher ST ratings can be assigned. For banks with Long-Term IDRs driven by their standalone profile, as reflected by their Viability Ratings (VR), Fitch uses the funding and liquidity factor score as the principal determinant of whether the 'baseline' or 'higher' ST IDR is assigned at each cusp point. The ST IDRs and, where relevant, associated ST debt/deposit ratings of the following issuers have been placed UCO because the ratings could be upgraded by one notch under the new criteria. This is because the latest funding and liquidity scores that feed into their VRs are at least in line with the minimum levels required for a higher ST rating under the new criteria: - Banco Cooperativo Espanol, S.A.

JPMS CWM Trading Away Disclosure
Important Information about Portfolio Managers Trading Away in J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ("JPMS") Wrap Fee Investment Advisory Programs JPMS offers certain wrap-fee investment advisory programs that provide discretionary portfolio management of client assets by affiliated or unaffiliated Portfolio Managers (collectively referred to as “Wrap Fee Programs”). In the Chase Investments division of JPMS, the following Wrap Fee Programs are offered: Chase Strategic Portfolio (“CSP”) Program, J.P. Morgan Core Advisory Portfolio (“JPMCAP”) Program, the Fixed Income Advisory Program, and the Advisory Program. In the J.P. Morgan Securities division of JPMS, the following Wrap Fee Programs are offered: the Strategic Investment Services (“STRATIS”) Program; Investment Counseling Service (“ICS”) Program; Unified Managed Account (“UMA”) Program; Customized Bond Solutions (“C-BoS”) Program; and JPMCAP Program This document provides information to clients, who are participating, or are considering participating, in a Wrap Fee Program, about Portfolio Managers’ placement of client trade orders for execution by broker- dealers other than JPMS. This practice is frequently referred to as “trading away.” The extent to which a Portfolio Manager chooses to trade away from JPMS can affect your total cost of investing in a Wrap Fee Program. When a Portfolio Manager places trades with JPMS for execution in a Wrap Fee Program, your account does not incur any additional costs because trade execution by JPMS is covered by the wrap fee you pay to JPMS. However, when a Portfolio Manager chooses to trade away from JPMS, execution by a broker-dealer other than JPMS is not covered by the wrap fee you pay to JPMS and your account therefore may incur a commission or other additional cost.

THE FINANCIAL SERVICES FORUM Retail Banking BANK TO THE FUTURE The high street banks have alienated many of their customers in their search for efficiency, depersonalising the whole experience with offshore call centres and centralised lending decisions. Malcolm Oliver looks at how two relative newcomers to the UK retail banking scene are reviving the old concept of real bank managers and personal service. The future of retail banking is a self-evidently important The key to success is often not the development of theme, and indeed one that The Financial Services Forum the ideas themselves but having the confidence (and addresses each year in the slightly broader context of its perhaps the commercial and professional courage) to Future of Retail Financial Services conferences. stand out and not dismiss them, like most of the herd, But between the positive idea and the delivered reality as passé or inappropriate to the needs of twenty-first- can fall a huge shadow. If speakers really have cracked century customers. As Allan Leighton said recently, in the problem in a way that will deliver lasting customer his new book on leadership, “the biggest challenge to satisfaction and regulatory approval and sustainable senior management is being able to listen effectively to profitability, why on earth would they want to give their those below who know what will and will not work”. secrets away to commercial rivals? Just reflect on how many financial services companies The Forum largely avoids this problem by its in the last decade or so have put in place new strategies membership formula, which means that most presenters to relocate call centres overseas, or to close local will already have built informal relationships with most of branches, or to withdraw free ATMs, or to restrict opening the audience, and will therefore feel that they are talking hours – only to have to perform an embarrassing volte- amongst friends rather than competitors.

Peter Sands Group Chief Executive
Peter Sands Group Chief Executive 5 June 2012 Governor Erkki Liikanen High-level Expert Group on Bank Structure By email: [email protected] EC Representative Register ID number: 16595501800-80 Dear Governor Liikanen Consultation on the structure of the EU banking sector Please find enclosed Standard Chartered‟s response to your call for evidence on bank structural reform. Our response seeks to answer the questions from your consultation and sets out our concerns about the idea of bank structural reform, especially in the current economic climate, and how this could pose a significant risk to the European banking sector. In particular we would like to highlight the following three points: a. There is no compelling case for structural reform and some strong counter- arguments. Large and universal bank structures do not necessarily equal complex and risky structures; indeed there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the existence and structure of universal banks contributed to the financial crisis. Risky business models which failed encompassed retail banks, universal banks and investment banking models. Structural reforms that create more concentrated business model and risk profiles and greater homogeneity across the sector are likely to increase systemic risks. Structural reforms organised around national or EU boundaries will encourage „financial protectionism‟ and create impediments to cross- border trade and investment. b. Proposing further structural reform will increase the stress and systemic risks in the European banking sector. There are significant risks associated with seeking to undertake a reform of the structure of the European banks, whilst economic crisis is gripping the Union and when banks are already grappling with the most significant regulatory reforms in decades.
