1、WHATS NEXT FOR JAPANESE MEGABANKS?Dylan WalshJasper YipAngelina OgumaJulian AdlerVarun VishnubhatlaWhy read this paper?The Japanese banking industry is among the largest in the world,but equity investors do not value Japanese megabanks like global leaders in the industry.The valuation gap to global
2、peers is 70%today.We believe this valuation gap will remain stubbornly wide unless the megabanks take action to address investor concerns.The old news is that the organizational and operational complexity of the domestic megabank model is a major concern for investors this will take time to address
3、and may never be fully resolved.What is new in our study is that investors see more immediate opportunities for the megabanks to close the valuation gap.Japanese banks have a generational opportunity to build a wealth management franchise that generates returns now common in other markets,delivering
4、 150%in price-to-book improvement.Investors also see significant untapped value in a pan-Asian banking platform that can capture local growth opportunities and extract synergies from regional operations,potentially delivering 115%in price-to-book improvement.Each opportunity presents a path to break

8、anks are enjoying a rare moment in the sun.Economic tailwinds have boosted returns and replenished capital buffers,giving these institutions more room to maneuver and the opportunity to pursue substantive strategic moves.However,investor skepticism of the“megabank miracle”remains.Despite a strong ra
9、lly over the past 18 months,shares still trade at a significant discount to North American peers and do not meet targets set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange(TSE)for all listed companies to maintain 1x price to book ratio(P/B).1,2Global investors will need to see more evidence of structural change to re-
10、rate share prices.Japanese megabanks can learn from the experience of their peers in North America and Europe,which have optimized their capital,and structured business models and clear investor narratives around activities that command higher valuation multiples.The specific path(s)the megabanks fo
11、llow will be different,but the playbook should be the same.Japanese megabanks will be expected to take action in the following three areas.Reduce complexity and inefficiencies in the operating model:Japanese megabanks have fragmented governance and sprawling legal entity structures that global inves
12、tors struggle to analyze.For years,the megabanks have been exploring potential governance and structural simplification.To some extent,these structures are features of Japans legal,regulatory,and business environment.However,the current economic tailwinds provide an opportunity to convince investors
13、 that the megabanks can overcome this complexity to deliver stronger returns over an extended time horizon.Investors will focus on outcomes(e.g.,profitability and returns),but a clear narrative on how the operating model is evolving to reduce complexity,control risks,and improve efficiency will show
14、 the way.Build credible strategies in activities that investors reward:Investors tend to reward stable,profitable businesses supported by sustained economic tailwinds(e.g.,wealth management,transaction banking).The domestic wealth and asset management opportunity in Japan fits the profile,but the bu
15、siness model will need to evolve to capture its full potential.The recent transformation of the US wealth management industry offers a playbook for Japanese megabanks that we believe can deliver 150%3 price-to-book improvement.Oliver Wyman5Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?Leverage domestic scale on
16、 the global stage:Japanese megabanks are better positioned to take share and generate attractive returns outside Japan,driven in part by the strength of their domestic franchises(e.g.,sticky customer deposits,flexible capital position).However,building a successful economic model will demand more fo
17、cused strategies with greater integration of international operating models and infrastructure.We believe that successful execution can potentially deliver 115%4 in price-to-book improvements.Replicating the complexity of the domestic banking model in Japan will erode the fleeting advantage that meg
18、abanks have abroad.Failure to capitalize on this moment may keep the megabanks locked in a valuation trap.On the current path,analyst consensus today is for Japanese megabanks to continue trading at a significant discount to their North American peers and remain below the 1x P/B target set by the TS
19、E.The greater risk is competition from international competitors,at home and abroad.The Japanese domestic market(and many of the international markets where Japanese megabanks have built market share in recent years)are increasingly attractive to international competitors.Time is of the essence for

38、 shareholder returns is through dividends and share buybacks,but megabanks payout ratios are already in line with peers.While further increases may boost share prices in the short term,they fail to address investor concerns about sustained profitability.See Exhibit 5.In addition to investors,the TSE
39、 recently announced a directive calling on listed companies with a P/B ratio6 of less than 1x to articulate plans to improve their valuations or risk being demoted or even delisted.Though the actual likelihood of a megabank delisting is low,the directive serves as a stark reminder that banks are not
40、 yet out of the woods.To enforce this initiative,the TSE has begun a monthly publication of firms adequately disclosing capital efficiency plans,thereby indirectly drawing public attention to those that have not yet done so.7The call for higher P/B ratios was the latest in a line of actions the TSE
41、has taken to raise standards for listed companies.In 2021,the TSE announced a revision to its Corporate Governance Code(CGC)that asked companies to increase independence,diversity,and sustainability measures,or explain their non-compliance.5 Athree-factorDuPontanalysisofJapanesemegabanksrevealsthatl

50、T RATE MANAGEMENT CONCERNSFor Japanese banking executives,this is the first time in a generation that they need to manage a dynamic interest rate environment both domestically and abroad.While rate changes have yielded key benefits(e.g.,international NII expansion),the associated risks need to be cl
51、osely managed,given the sensitivity of the balance sheet and loan book to rate movements.International banks have already been pushed to“relearn”interest rate risk management after decades of relatively low and stable rates,and Japanese megabanks will need to follow suit in adopting best practices t
52、o stabilize NII and protect their capital base.One implication of rising rates on Japanese megabanks balance sheets is the accumulation of unrealized losses.As of JFY 2023(calendar year April 2022March 2023),unrealized losses on foreign bonds amounted to 7.4%of common equity tier 1(CET1)capital.Betw
53、een 2022 and 2023,unrealized losses on domestic bonds increased by 0.25%to total 0.8%of CET1 capital.These losses will continue to accumulate if international rates remain high and domestic rates rise.Oliver Wyman12Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?Unrealized losses can have significant consequences

64、HE MOMENTInvestor perceptions are driven by many factors,but perspectives from current and former equity analysts suggests there are a few broad actions megabanks can take to better articulate a compelling equity story:(1)addressing organizational and operational inefficiencies,(2)growing stable and
65、 well-valued businesses such as wealth management franchises,and(3)delivering a differentiated international strategy and operating model.These strategies in tandem will allow banks to navigate the external landscape while also answering the question of how they seek to sustainably grow.Strategy 1AD
66、DRESS ORGANIZATIONAL AND OPERATIONAL INEFFICIENCIESMaking foundational improvements to address organizational and operational deficiencies is key to convincing investors of megabanks ability to close the returns gap with global peers.Across all three megabanks,there are universally applicable enhanc
67、ements that would help move the dial for investors.Active resource managementAs financial resources have become more expensive under new global and domestic capital regulations,international banks have built frameworks to measure and manage resource deployment across businesses,geographies,and clien
68、ts.This has been a persistent challenge for Japanese banks,complicated by siloed organizational structures and financial data across these banks.Adopting a more consistent measure of capital(and return on capital)would allow for more efficient deployment of resources to high-return activities and mo
69、re transparent communication with investors on the strategy the megabanks are pursuing to boost returns.GovernanceFragmentation between the trust,securities,and banking businesses(and across legal entities)has generally limited Japanese banks ability to operate as efficiently as their global peers i
70、n international markets,and to some extent domestically.Taking steps to integrate and modernize governance structures will help unlock value,limit trapped resources,and signal better coordinated decision-making to investors.Oliver Wyman15Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?Support model10UBSMediaRelea
71、ses.(2021,August10).display-page.Global.Technology and platform enhancements are critical to supporting future growth ambitions.These programs take several years to deliver successfully,and megabanks have tended to focus on quick fixes as incentivized by short executive tenures.Technology is especia
72、lly important for Japanese banks to continuously monitor risks and potential opportunities.Integrating and re-platforming technology could position megabanks to achieve full benefits.Coverage and employment modelHuman resources is a critical component to drive product cross-selling while also buildi
73、ng brand recognition and unity.Peer practices have shown that operating as“one team”can improve client visibility into the full product suite and promote revenue cooperation through cost efficiency.These areas are foundational to improving the perception of Japanese banks in investors eyes,and impro
74、vements will serve as building blocks to execute on more substantive strategic initiatives.A decisive shift in operating practices is necessary to break out of the valuation trap,and the window to act has finally opened.Failure to capitalize may result in continued mediocre assessments of megabanks
75、reminiscent of the past two decades.Strategy 2DEVELOP CLIENT-ORIENTED WEALTH BUSINESSInvestors tend to value firms that excel in a few select business lines as opposed to acting as a“jack-of-all-trades”,and investors have a particularly positive outlook on firms with a clear wealth and asset managem
76、ent focus given their predictable and stable earnings profile(see Exhibit 9).Wealth franchises have been historically difficult to build in Japan,prompting megabanks and large financial groups to pursue partnerships with market leaders to expand their services(e.g.,MUFG with Morgan Stanley and SuMi
77、Trust with UBS).Thus far,these partnerships have had a targeted audience in mind,articulated by UBS SuMi as“high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients.”10 However,as the deflationary environment winds down and supportive policy plans are implemented,building an organic wealth model catered towa
78、rd a broader base of clients is more viable than ever.If Japanese megabanks enhance their wealth management franchises,they could earn a valuation boost.Achieving even the partial success of peers,we estimate Japanese megabanks could see ROTCE climb to the 913%range,and command P/TBV ratios of 1.21.

83、banks?Previous efforts to grow wealth have not been enough to move the needle on investor valuations.Rather than what is being offered,how Japanese megabanks are pursuing wealth management may be holding back valuations,and there are lessons to be learned from successful peers.Megabanks to date have
84、 focused primarily on developing and marketing sleek wealth management products.Successful market peers,on the other hand,have developed a rigorous foundational understanding of their client segments,and oriented their business model and structure around how they can best serve prospective customers
85、.This is especially pertinent when attempting to capture sophisticated clients with different needs from traditional retail customers.For example,wealth clients tend to value accessibility to a“one-stop shop”capable of offering the full suite of wealth management products through a single point of c
86、ontact.Leading firms have optimized this model to make the client experience as seamless as possible(example,through tenured,lifelong relationship managers).This in turn has allowed them to offer more products and services to more clients via cross-sales.To date,megabanks have struggled to replicate
87、 this model.And while the product suites may be similar,they are provided by different pillars in the three-legged organizational structure(banking,securities,trust),and are dependent on maintaining multiple points of contact.Without prioritizing client-oriented considerations,further investment int
88、o expanding product offerings will have limited appeal.This approach has notably not translated into successful client acquisition compared to peers.For example,despite having similar product offerings,SMFG experienced only a 4%annualized growth rate in customers using wealth management products bet
89、ween JFY 2021 and JFY 2023,whereas MS achieved an 11%annualized growth rate in customers using self-directed or stock plan products between 2020 and 2022.See Exhibit 10.Separately,Japanese megabanks can consider alternative revenue models to enhance the profitability of their wealth management franc
90、hise(e.g.,transitioning away from commission-based fee structures).As of December 2022,agency commissions dominate the investment management fee structure in Japan,representing roughly half of fees charged on both passive and active funds.11 This is not dissimilar to Morgan Stanleys fee structure ov
91、er a decade ago in 2011.Since then,transaction-based revenue has declined while asset management(advisory fees charged as a percentage of AUM balances)and interest income have increased.This has led to a notable increase in returns.See Exhibit 11 and Exhibit 12.11FinancialServicesAgency.FinancialSer

99、rce:Autonomous Oliver Wyman20Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?Strategy 3ESTABLISH A PAN-ASIAN BANKING POWERHOUSEBeyond adding new services to their business mix,Japanese megabanks can aim to establish themselves as premier pan-Asian banking institutions.International business has become a sizable p
100、ortion of the megabanks profile,with international revenues exceeding domestic revenues for the past five or more years.The megabanks have taken steps to capitalize on this trend by pursuing M&A deals to grow outside of Japan,while also pulling out of areas that no longer are profitable.For example,
101、MUFGs divestment of Union Bank in 2022 for US$11 billion was viewed positively by investors,confirming that stakeholders do not always interpret“bigger”as“better.”While megabanks have expanded globally,investors appear skeptical of how they are positioning their international footprint to operate co
102、herently.For example,the Asia-Pacific(APAC)region(ex.Japan)has been the megabanks most profitable market,yet they trail in returns and valuation against regional peers.Given the megabanks scale alone,there is clear opportunity here to foster greater intra-regional revenue synergy and cross-sales.Ban
103、king opportunities in each geography are heavily linked to their specific role in the broader regions trade and financing corridors.The APAC banking market is disproportionately oriented to corporate and transaction banking(CTB),driven in part by the regions role in international trade and the neces
104、sity of facilitating significant cross-border flows across many jurisdictions.And while the numerous geographies and associated jurisdictions present a challenge from an operational perspective,they also present an opportunity to service and take advantage of those flows.Higher valued APAC-based pee
105、rs(particularly Singaporean banks like OCBC)have explicitly oriented their strategy around understanding and capturing these cross-border flows.To unlock trapped value,Japanese banks must develop an overarching APAC strategy linked to their vision of what the regions corridors and interconnections l
106、ook like today and what they expect them to look like in the next 10 to 20 years.Directing this strategy through a simplified governance model will allow them to tilt resources effectively to generate higher returns,while integrating their footprint more holistically can improve their customer exper
107、ience.These actions in tandem will help communicate a compelling equity story to investors who have so far struggled to understand how to piece the international puzzle together.Doing so successfully and closing even a fraction of the gap with competitors would allow ROTCE to climb to the 911.5%rang

112、s reducing inefficiency and simplifying governance structures and reporting lines.These actions are critical to scale efficiently and to make it easier for investors and analysts to understand and appreciate megabanks strengths.Japanese megabanks tend to be viewed in the market more as a collection
113、of regional businesses,and geographic expansion has added layers of complexity with convoluted reporting lines,siloing,and multiple layers of management.The current megabank setup multiplies reporting lines due both to the three-pillar governance structure(banking,securities,trust)and the tendency f
114、or regional businesses to operate relatively independently(sometimes under a separate franchise).Oliver Wyman22Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?Some megabanks have attempted to solve this problem by creating additional regional leadership layers,but this can result in a separate dotted line hierarc
115、hy that can make accountability more diffuse.This is particularly evident given that megabank valuations trail those of peers even in geographies where they have a sizeable presence.HSBC,for example,has a similar global footprint but has outperformed Japanese megabanks,as has DBS,a smaller regional
116、peer with a large and growing APAC presence.A good guiding principle in the simplification process is to understand the profile of key client segments being targeted and“work backward”to define structure.If the clients are more global(e.g.,large international corporates),a global service model may b
117、e the best fit,while target client segments with more regional variation may require localized governance structures.Taking this fit-for-purpose approach to restructuring preserves resources and can help to create a competitive edge in each geography.Oliver Wyman23Whats Next for Japanese Megabanks?O
