Standard Chartered's Wealth Business and Cost-Cutting Program Boost Returns
Standard Chartered’s strategy has shifted toward improving returns through greater focus, capital discipline, and portfolio optimization. The group has scaled down lower-return businesses and markets, while reallocating resources toward its core footprint across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where it has established corporate relationships and trade corridor exposure. Going forward, we also expect Standard Chartered to increase investment on fee-generative and capital-light businesses.
