Capital Strength (FRTB)A materially stronger CET1 following early FRTB implementation meaningfully raises regulatory capital headroom. This durable capital buffer improves resilience to market stress, supports continued issuance and client activity, and creates optionality for future buybacks or strategic investments if profitability stabilizes.
Recurring AMC & Platform RevenueGrowing AMC volumes and recurring servicing fees diversify revenue away from one-off issuance and trading. Recurring AMC income is structurally stickier, supports margin stability during issuance slowdowns, and increases lifetime customer value across the platform and third-party partner channels.
Sustained Cost & Efficiency ActionsSignificant, concrete cost reductions and headcount optimisation lower the company’s structural fixed cost base. If maintained, this improves operating leverage, shortens the path back to sustained profitability, and enhances cash generation resilience across different market cycles.
