 Financial Services: a $100b cost over-run problem*

All firms will need to take drastic action on the cost side, exploring which activities are not differentiated
and considering utilities, shared services, and agreements to mutualize costs.

Capital markets revenues have dropped by $100b

since 2009; industry operating profits are at
historical lows across the board, down 28 percent
since 2010 to just $68 billion in 2014. Revenues
declined, although costs did not. Banks have
seemingly reached an impasse of sorts, with the
industrys cost-to-income ratio (CIR) stubbornly
remaining above 70 percent. The industry gloom that
we have been forecasting for some time is now well
and truly upon us.

 Key trend: mutualization through utilities

Money managers have externalized ALL their back-office and fund admin functions in the last 15 years.
Beneficiaries: custody banks, fund administrators 9 of top 10 are clients of SmartStream

Exchanges and Banks have let $30b of revenues leak out to Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, etc., and they
are doing everything to recapture a slice of that business: e.g. ICE bought IDC (data revenues went from
$.8b to $1.8b).
Beneficiaries: Markit, SPReD, ICE

Clearing Houses are offering next gen utilities such as DerivServ, Clarient, Acadiasoft

Banks must drastically reduce their IT and Operations costs, $100b wasted every year. As internal re-
tooling wont work and ROE is not there, Banks are now in the process of mutualizing their back-office,
one function/service at a time.
Beneficiaries: Clarient, Acadiasoft, RDU/SPReD, Symphony, Fees Management Utility

There is an immediate potential to mutualize other functions:

cash, liquidity and collateral management

network management
clearing & settlement
regulatory reporting and compliance
tax processing & compliance

 Core Operating Principles of the Utility

The RDU serves as a processing agent for the clients data feed subscriptions

The clients maintain control over contractual and business relationships with their data suppliers

The RDU does not comingle or compare data sources; it does not use one vendors data to cleanse
another
To manage data, it normalizes data across sources so it can provide consistent business and
data quality rules to manage data. Validation sources, including corporate actions and
holiday calendars, are self sourced by the RDU

SmartStream will assume operational responsibilities that can be mutualized across the banks
with the goal of reducing operational costs

This includes tasks such as manually enriching data not supported by data subscriptions

Validating data prior to market open to ensure it is updated to support trading

Monitoring corporate action events to ensure securities are updated for events on the
effective date

Proactively performing data quality checks

Manually supporting new issuance and IPO data
