dividend and share buybacks. While the outlook for the market will
remain volatile "for some time", Mr Clarke says the company will
focus on growth and benefit from its strong capital base. "I think
we have an exciting time ahead of us. We have the benefits of
regulatory trends which are making it more straightforward for
investors to get to our sorts of products and changing patterns of
