Our purpose is clear. We are here to make the financial lives of those who do business with us better. Better by listening to our customers and clients, and connecting them to the financial solutions they need. And, better by connecting across our company to deliver those solutions. Over the past three years, we've strengthened our foundation and now have record level capital and liquidity. We've put behind us many of the issues that arose as a result of the economic downturn and were obscuring the promise and potential of our company. And, we've narrowed our focus to concentrate on the businesses and services that matter most to the three customer groups we serve - people, companies and institutional investors.
