How we think about long-term franchise value Client base Customer base underpins sustainability. Market-leading financial services franchises Market-leading operating businesses deliver customers, distribution and products. FRANCHISE VALUE Diversified portfolios (operating franchises, segments, countries, products) Differentiated offerings strengthen competitive position (innovation) Diversified portfolio reduces volatility from overconcentrations in product lines, segments or activities. Appropriate mix of capital-light and capital-intensive businesses. Differentiation in customer offerings strengthens relative positioning and ensures growth, but only possible through ongoing innovation. Flexible and brand-neutral platforms (skills, technology, customer bases, distribution, licences) Platforms provide building blocks to operate across all financial services profit pools. Franchise value = resilient earnings 8
