Management’s approach to determining the<br />
values assigned to key assumptions<br />
- The key assumptions have been based on<br />
a combination of internal and external<br />
studies (consulting firms, research)<br />
- Management estimates concerning CIB<br />
integration and cost reduction program are<br />
also based on progress made to date<br />
across various initiatives<br />
- The key assumptions have been based on<br />
a combination of internal and external<br />
sources<br />
- Macroeconomic trends are supported by<br />
studies while internal growth plans and<br />
impact from efficiency initiatives have<br />
been based on management/high level<br />
business case assumptions<br />
- Equity Markets growth assumptions are<br />
based on internal studies from DB<br />
Research<br />
- Other business growth and efficiency<br />
assumptions are based on business<br />
management input validated by internal<br />
independent function<br />
- Platform cost reductions are derived from<br />
analysis of competitors and trend<br />
analyses within PCAM<br />
