RBS shakes up beleaguered investment bank
Last year saw the appointment of RBS’ new CEO Alison Rose, who has taken decisive action in shaking up the group, particularly its investment banking unit, NatWest Markets.
Rose has been under significant shareholder pressure to down size its investment bank, with the unit gobbling up capital in exchange for minor returns, with the division delivering a £193 million loss that put a significant dent in RBS’ third quarter results.
RBS will unveil its full-year results on February 14.
