Tidjane Thiam, Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse, commented:
“During the third quarter of 2019, we continued to implement our strategy of being a leading wealth manager with strong investment banking capabilities. We have continued, in a challenging environment, to grow our wealth management franchises, increasing our revenues and gathering record net new assets of CHF 72 billion across the Group year to date. Our Global Investment Banking3 revenues, across markets and advisory, underwriting and financing activities, have also grown strongly, up 8% year

on year. Overall, we are reporting our 12th consecutive quarter of year on year positive operating leverage and profit growth.
We have continued to invest in our Impact Advisory and Finance activities, as we believe this is an area with large, positive effects globally and in which our clients are increasingly interested. We intend for this to become a growing part of our activities.
We believe that we are well positioned to achieve further profitable growth, with clients benefitting from our integrated approach as we work with them to provide solutions addressing both their asset and their liability requirements. Helping our clients achieve their objectives ultimately ensures that we create value for our shareholders.”
Outlook
As we head into the final quarter of 2019, we expect to see the usual seasonal slowdown as a result of the holiday season in many parts of the world. We also expect headwinds from the ongoing challenging geopolitical environment, most notably the US-China trade dispute and Brexit, to persist. This is likely to lead to more cautious capital expenditure and investment decisions, specifically looking forward to 2020 and 2021.
That said, we believe that the long-term outlook remains attractive in wealth management, as indicated by the findings of our latest Global Wealth Report7, and through our integrated approach, we expect to capitalise on these trends. Since 2016, we have significantly de-risked the bank and lowered the cost base, and we believe we are well positioned to outperform on a relative basis.

Detailed divisional summaries
Swiss Universal Bank (SUB) reported a solid third quarter in 2019 with pre-tax income of CHF 607 million, an increase of 19% year on year. Net revenues rose 6%, reflecting the transfer of the InvestLab fund platform to Allfunds Group8, which generated CHF 98 million in gains for Corporate & Institutional Clients (C&IC). Excluding the gain from the InvestLab transfer, net revenues would have been CHF 1.3 billion, down 2% year on year, while pre-tax income would have been CHF 509 million, stable year on year. While the negative interest rate environment remains challenging, increased client activity and solid revenue generation from our collaboration with Global Markets and International Wealth Management –International Trading Solutions (ITS) – provided further support to our revenue performance. Total operating expenses were down 2% year on year; continued efficiency gains helped fund growth investments in technology and selected hires. The cost/income ratio at the end of the third quarter was 55%.
As announced in August, in response to the changing market environment, we are launching the next phase in the execution of our strategy for SUB and shifting from asset-based client segmentation to a needs-based coverage operating model. The new business area, Direct Banking9, will optimally combine digital solutions with personal advice and serve retail, as well as small commercial clients, who primarily use core banking products. With this high-tech client segment, we aim to continuously improve our digital adoption rate through enhanced product offerings and digital interaction with clients.
Private Clients reported pre-tax income of CHF 251 million in the third quarter of 2019, up 1% year on year. Operating expenses were down 4%, reflecting continued discipline on costs, with further investments in digital solutions. Net revenues were slightly lower, down 2% year on year, despite increased client activity in the third quarter of 2019, mainly reflecting a one-time gain from a real estate sale in 3Q18. Quarterly NNA were negative CHF 0.6 billion, with a disciplined approach to protect profitability in a sustained negative interest rate environment. In September, we informed our Private Banking clients that we intend to start charging negative interest rates on cash holdings in excess of CHF 2 million due to the continued negative interest rate environment. NNA remained positive for the first nine months of the year at CHF 3.9 billion, an annualised growth rate of 3%, in line with our mid-term ambition to grow at above market levels.
C&IC generated pre-tax income of CHF 356 million, up 36% year on year, driven by the transfer of the InvestLab fund platform to Allfunds Group. Excluding the gain, pre-tax income would have been CHF 258 million, down 2% year on year. Net revenues for C&IC, including the gain made from the InvestLab transfer, were CHF 702 million, up 15% year on year; excluding the gain, net revenues would have been down 1% at CHF 604 million. Our transaction-based revenues increased slightly year on year, with higher revenues from ITS, and net interest income and recurring commissions and fees were down, 2% and 4%, respectively. We gathered NNA of CHF 6.3 billion in the quarter, confirming the continued momentum in our pension funds business.
International Wealth Management (IWM) delivered continued strong growth momentum in the third quarter of 2019. Pre-tax income increased 43% year on year to CHF 539 million, reflecting a 15% increase in net revenues and a 4% increase in operating expenses. These results include a gain of CHF 131 million on the transfer of the InvestLab fund platform to Allfunds Group, which was recorded in Private Banking. Excluding this gain, pre-tax income would have been CHF 408 million, up 8% year on year, and net revenues would have been up 5% year on year. Asset gathering remained solid with NNA
Page 3
Media Release Zurich, October 30, 2019 | |
of CHF 9.5 billion for the third quarter. Additionally, IWM’s return on regulatory capital was 34% for the third quarter of 2019.
Private Banking’s pre-tax income for the third quarter increased 49% year on year to CHF 428 million. Net revenues rose 17% to CHF 1.07 billion, including the gain on the InvestLab transfer. Excluding this gain, pre-tax income would have been CHF 297 million, an increase of 3% on 2% growth in net revenues. Net revenue growth, excluding the gain, was driven by a particularly strong increase in transaction and performance-based revenues. Recurring revenues remained stable year on year and net interest income proved resilient, with loan growth offsetting pressure from the negative interest rate environment. Operating expenses in the quarter increased 2% year on year. They decreased by 1% for the first nine months of the year, during which we made targeted investments in client coverage, hiring a number of high-quality relationship managers. NNA stood at CHF 3.6 billion for the quarter, and at CHF 10.4 billion for the first nine months of 2019, an annualised growth rate of 4%.
Asset Management’s pre-tax income in the third quarter increased 22% year on year to CHF 111 million. Net revenues rose 12% on significantly higher performance and placement revenues and higher management fees, partly offset by a decline in investment and partnership income. Higher performance fees were supported by a gain on the sale of a private equity investment of a fund, and related compensation expenses were a driver of higher operating expenses year on year. NNA for the third quarter totalled CHF 5.9 billion, and CHF 14.0 billion in the first nine months of the year, driven by inflows in Fixed Income, Index Solutions, Credit and Real Estate products.
Asia Pacific (APAC) pre-tax income rose 40% year on year in the third quarter of 2019, to CHF 247 million, driven by higher revenues of CHF 886 million, up 9% year on year. These results were supported by stronger performance in our Private Banking business within Wealth Management & Connected (WM&C) and were largely driven by a gain of CHF 98 million from the InvestLab transfer. Excluding that gain, pre-tax income would have been down 15% year on year at CHF 149 million and net revenues would have been down 3% at CHF 788 million. Strong Private Banking revenues were partially offset by lower revenues in our Markets and advisory, financing and underwriting businesses, as economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks continued to weigh on market sentiment. APAC delivered a return on regulatory capital of 17% for the third quarter.
Excluding the InvestLab gain, WM&C’s net revenues would have been CHF 575 million, up 3% year on year, and pre-tax income would have been CHF 183 million, up 2%. Private Banking revenues, excluding the gain on the InvestLab transfer, were up 13% year on year. We achieved record AuM of CHF 222 billion and generated NNA of CHF 2.6 billion in the quarter. Advisory, underwriting, and financing revenues for the quarter were down 18% year on year, performing better than the Street10 which was down 24%, reflecting significantly lower M&A and equity underwriting activities across the industry. In the first nine months of the year, APAC advisory, underwriting and financing ranked number 210 in terms of share of wallet.
Markets reported a pre-tax loss of USD 34 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a pre-tax loss of USD 4 million in the same quarter of last year. Net revenues were down 17% year on year, impacted by challenging conditions and continued weakness in emerging markets. Operating expenses were down 2% year on year for the quarter. We continue to drive further strategic alignment in our Asia Trading Solutions business, with synergies in structured product capabilities and distribution, increased focus on UHNW clients, and platform initiatives.

Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) reported a pre-tax loss of USD 16 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to pre-tax income of USD 72 million in the third quarter of 2018. Net revenues, of USD 428 million, were down 21% year on year, reflecting fewer M&A completions as well as reduced levels of IPOs and leveraged finance client activity. Performance was impacted by continued challenging market conditions characterised by volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty. Net revenues were down 6% compared to the second quarter of 2019, in line with the Street11. Operating expenses of USD 432 million were down 8% year on year, driven by lower variable compensation and the completion of our restructuring programme.
Advisory revenues for the third quarter were down 28% year on year at USD 175 million, reflecting lower revenues from completed M&A transactions. However, revenues were up 10% compared to the second quarter, in line with the Street11.
Equity underwriting revenues were down 20% year on year at USD 74 million for the quarter, reflecting lower IPO issuance and follow-on client activity. Revenues decreased 33% compared to the second quarter, which had more IPO issuance activity, and were down more than the Street11.
Debt underwriting revenues were down 11% year on year at USD 204 million, primarily due to lower leveraged finance revenues, partially offset by higher investment grade issuance activity. Revenues were down 3% compared to the second quarter, in line with the Street11.
Our total global advisory and underwriting revenues12 for the third quarter of 2019 were USD 841 million, down 18% year on year due to lower client activity. Revenues were down 9% compared to the second quarter, down slightly more than the Street, which saw revenues decline by 6%13.
Global Markets (GM) delivered pre-tax income of USD 272 million in the third quarter, up substantially compared to the third quarter of 2018. Our diversified client franchise delivered higher revenues year on year and a second consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage, including a return on regulatory capital of 8% for the quarter.
Net revenues of USD 1.43 billion for the quarter increased by 34% compared to the third quarter of 2018, due to a marked increase in trading results, which more than offset reduced debt and equity underwriting.
Fixed income sales and trading revenues of USD 903 million increased 72% year on year, reflecting robust revenue growth across most businesses and sustained leading market shares.14
Equities sales and trading revenues of USD 424 million increased 11% year on year, with higher trading activity in prime services and equity derivatives as a result of increased market volatility.
Underwriting revenues of USD 211 million decreased 23% year on year, reflecting lower industry-wide issuance activity across equity and debt, including lower industry-wide leveraged finance issuance activity.
We continue to see strong momentum in our ITS business, which benefitted from collaboration with IWM and SUB to serve our wealth management and institutional clients.
Total operating expenses and capital usage were stable year on year, with leverage exposure of USD 261 billion and risk-weighted assets of USD 61 billion.

Impact Advisory and Finance
In September, Credit Suisse Asset Management announced its intention to integrate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into its investment process; initially with 30 actively managed investment funds representing CHF 20 billion of assets. That sum is expected to grow to more than CHF 100 billion of assets under management by 202015. This repositioning will fulfil ESG criteria as defined by the Credit Suisse Sustainable Investing Framework, constructed with guidance from the Impact Advisory and Finance Department.
The same month also saw the launch of a partnership with the Climate Bonds Initiative for leveraging the global capital markets to accelerate the corporate sustainable transition to a low-carbon economy. The objective is to promote a ‘sustainable transition bond’ market, which ultimately could experience the level of growth the green bond market has seen in recent years as both investors and issuers look to contribute to the fight against climate change.
Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship
In the third quarter, Credit Suisse became a founding signatory to the Principles for Responsible Banking of the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative, which specify the role and the responsibilities of the banking sector in the development of a sustainable future.
At the same time, Credit Suisse continued to expand its own role in supporting the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. We introduced a Group-wide Climate Risk Strategy with a three-pronged approach. Firstly, we aim to work with our clients to support their transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient business models, and further integrate climate change into our risk management models. Secondly, we endeavour to focus on delivering sustainable finance solutions that help our clients achieve their goals and make a contribution to the realisation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals; and thirdly, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of our own operations.
Reflecting our commitment to operating responsibly, Credit Suisse was selected as an index component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in September for the 20th consecutive year.

Return on tangible equity is based on tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet. Tangible book value, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to tangible shareholders' equity. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing tangible shareholders' equity by total number of shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible shareholders' equity/tangible book value, return on tangible equity and tangible book value per share are meaningful as they are measures used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy. For end-3Q19, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,760 million and other intangible assets of CHF 219 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 45,150 million as presented in our balance sheet. For end-2Q19, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,731 million and other intangible assets of CHF 216 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,673 million as presented in our balance sheet. For end-4Q18, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,766 million and other intangible assets of CHF 219 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,922 million as presented in our balance sheet. For end-3Q18, tangible shareholders’ equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,736 million and other intangible assets of CHF 214 million from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 42,734 million as presented in our balance sheet. Shares outstanding were 2,473.8 million at end-3Q19.
Regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of RWA and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital (a non-GAAP financial measure) is calculated using income / (loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average RWA and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For the Markets business within the APAC division and for the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Adjusted return on regulatory capital is calculated using adjusted results, applying the same methodology to calculate return on regulatory capital.
Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss Requirements), which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency. Credit Suisse has adopted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA).
References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III capital requirements and Swiss Requirements. Phase-in reflects that, for the years 2014-2018, there was a five-year (20% per annum) phase-in of goodwill, other intangible assets and other capital deductions (e.g., certain deferred tax assets) and a phase-out of an adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans. For the years 2013-2022, there is a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other regulatory adjustments and the phase-out of certain capital instruments.
Unless otherwise noted, all CET1 ratio, Tier-1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures in this document are as of the end of the respective period and on a “look-through” basis.
Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. The look-through tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as look-through BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period end leverage exposure. Swiss leverage ratios are measured on the same period-end basis as the leverage exposure for the BIS leverage ratio.
Generic references to profit and costs in this document refer to pre-tax income and operating expenses, respectively. References to global advisory and underwriting include global revenues from advisory, debt and equity underwriting generated across all divisions.

Disclaimer 2 October 30, 2019 This material does not purport to contain all of the information that you may wish to consider. This material is not to be relied upon as such or used in substitution for the exercise of independent judgment.Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and we might not be able to achieve the predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes we describe or imply in forward-looking statements. A number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions we express in these forward-looking statements, including those we identify in "Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and in the “Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information" in our 3Q19 Financial Report published on October 30, 2019 and filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other public filings and press releases. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements. In particular, the terms “Estimate”, “Illustrative”, “Ambition”, “Objective”, “Outlook” and “Goal” are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks and goals are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are completely outside of our control. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general market conditions, market volatility, interest rate volatility and levels, global and regional economic conditions, political uncertainty, changes in tax policies, regulatory changes, changes in levels of client activity as a result of any of the foregoing and other factors. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. We do not intend to update these estimates, illustrations, ambitions, objectives, outlooks or goals. We may not achieve the benefits of our strategic initiativesWe may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives. Factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the market and economic conditions, changes in laws, rules or regulations and other challenges discussed in our public filings, could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of these initiatives. Estimates and assumptionsIn preparing this presentation, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the numbers presented. Actual results may differ. Annualized numbers do not take account of variations in operating results, seasonality and other factors and may not be indicative of actual, full-year results. Figures throughout this presentation may also be subject to rounding adjustments. All opinions and views constitute judgments as of the date of writing without regard to the date on which the reader may receive or access the information. This information is subject to change at any time without notice and we do not intend to update this information.Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measuresThis presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted results as well as return on regulatory capital, return on tangible equity and tangible book value per share (which are based on tangible shareholders’ equity). Information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP can be found in this presentation in the Appendix as well as in the 3Q19 Financial Report, which are both available on our website at www.credit-suisse.com.Statement regarding capital, liquidity and leverageCredit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks (Swiss Requirements), which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency. Credit Suisse has adopted the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and implemented in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA.References to phase-in and look-through included herein refer to Basel III capital requirements and Swiss Requirements. Phase-in reflects that, for the years 2014-2018, there was a five-year (20% per annum) phase-in of goodwill, other intangible assets and other capital deductions (e.g., certain deferred tax assets) and a phase-out of an adjustment for the accounting treatment of pension plans. For the years 2013-2022, there is a phase-out of certain capital instruments. Look-through assumes the full phase-in of goodwill and other intangible assets and other regulatory adjustments and the phase-out of certain capital instruments.Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. The tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by period-end leverage exposure. Swiss leverage ratios are measured on the same period-end basis as the leverage exposure for the BIS leverage ratio.SourcesCertain material in this presentation has been prepared by Credit Suisse on the basis of publicly available information, internally developed data and other third-party sources believed to be reliable. Credit Suisse has not sought to independently verify information obtained from public and third-party sources and makes no representations or warranties as to accuracy, completeness or reliability of such information.

50 October 30, 2019 Reconciliation of adjustment items Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items included in our reported results. During the implementation of our strategy, it was important to measure the progress achieved by our underlying business performance. Management believes that adjusted results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for purposes of assessing our Group and divisional performance consistently over time, on a basis that excludes items that management does not consider representative of our underlying performance. Provided below is a reconciliation of our adjusted results to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures. * Adjusted operating cost base at constant 2018 FX rates; see Notes page Group in CHF mn 9M19 9M18 9M17 9M16 Total operating expenses reported 12,610 13,156 13,892 15,028 Restructuring expenses - -490 -318 -491 Major litigation provisions -63 -162 -238 -306 Expenses related to real estate disposals -51 - - - Expenses related to business sales - -3 - - Debit valuation adjustments (DVA) -21 14 -63 46 Total operating cost base adjusted 12,475 12,515 13,273 14,277 FX adjustment -42 - 27 -68 Total operating cost base adjusted at constant FX* 12,433 12,515 13,300 14,209
Notes 51 October 30, 2019 General notesThroughout the presentation rounding differences may occurUnless otherwise noted, all CET1 ratio, Tier 1 leverage ratio, risk-weighted assets and leverage exposure figures shown in this presentation are as of the end of the respective period and on a “look-through” basisGross and net margins are shown in basis pointsGross margin = net revenues annualized / average AuM; net margin = pre-tax income annualized / average AuMMandate penetration reflects advisory and discretionary mandate volumes as a percentage of AuM, excluding those from the external asset manager businessSpecific notes* Following the successful completion of our restructuring program in 2018, we updated our calculation approach for adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates. Beginning in 1Q19, adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates includes adjustments for major litigation provisions, expenses related to real estate disposals and business sales as well as for debit valuation adjustments (DVA) related volatility and FX, but not for restructuring expenses and certain accounting changes. Adjustments for FX apply unweighted 2018 currency exchange rates, i.e., a straight line average of monthly rates, consistently for the periods under review. Under the current presentation, adjusted operating cost base at constant FX rates for periods prior to 1Q19 still include adjustments for restructuring expenses and a goodwill impairment taken in 4Q15, but no longer include an adjustment for certain accounting changes.† Regulatory capital is calculated as the worst of 10% of RWA and 3.5% of leverage exposure. Return on regulatory capital (a non-GAAP financial measure) is calculated using income / (loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% and capital allocated based on the worst of 10% of average RWA and 3.5% of average leverage exposure. For the Markets business within the APAC division and for the Global Markets and Investment Banking & Capital Markets divisions, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. ‡ Return on tangible equity is based on tangible shareholders’ equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity as presented in our balance sheet. Tangible book value, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to tangible shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is calculated by dividing tangible shareholders' equity by total number of shares outstanding. Management believes that tangible shareholders’ equity/tangible book value, return on tangible equity and tangible book value per share are meaningful as they are measures used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy. For end-3Q16, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,725 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 192 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 44,276 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-3Q17, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,715 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 219 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,858 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-3Q18, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,736 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 214 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 42,734 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-4Q18, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,766 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 219 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,922 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-2Q19, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,731 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 216 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 43,673 mn as presented in our balance sheet. For end-3Q19, tangible equity excluded goodwill of CHF 4,760 mn and other intangible assets of CHF 219 mn from total shareholders’ equity of CHF 45,150 mn as presented in our balance sheet. Shares outstanding were 2,552.4 mn at end-3Q18, 2,550.6 at end-4Q18 and 2,473.8 mn at end-3Q19.AbbreviationsAdv. = Advisory; AES = Advanced Execution Services; AM = Asset Management; APAC = Asia Pacific; ARU = Asset Resolution Unit; AT1 = Additional Tier 1; attr. = attributable; AuM = Assets under Management; BCBS = Basel Committee on Banking Supervision; BIS = Bank for International Settlements; bps = basis points; CAGR = Compound Annual Growth Rate; CET1 = Common Equity Tier 1; C&IC = Corporate & Institutional Clients; Corp. = Corporate(s); Corp.
