We view Citigroup’s turnaround strategy as appropriate, effectively leveraging the firm's strengths in institutional services while shedding noncore assets. The business model has evolved significantly, spearheaded by a massive simplification effort to eliminate five management layers and exit 14 international consumer markets. Similar to Goldman Sachs' consumer banking exit, we believe that discarding capital-intensive operations like Banamex, the final piece of the consumer business carve-out, frees up significant capital for redeployment into more value-accretive business lines. We take a positive view of this organizational simplification and the more focused model around five segments that results.
