Why Deutsche Bank

Here is some information I gathered to answer the "Why us?" question. Pick up the points and use them in your interview. All the best !


Deutsche Bank : announced co-CEO’s Anshu Jain and Jurgen Fitschen would tender their resignations, paving the way for the appointment of former UBS CFO and bank restructuring expert John Cryan to be appointed as the bank’s next CEO.
Investors gave little support to Jain and Fitschen’s so-called ‘Strategy 2020,’ a plan to :
  • maintain a universal banking business model
  •  top-five global market share in capital markets and investment banking businesses worldwide,
  • reducing leverage by up to EUR 150 billion and operating costs by EUR 3.5 billion.
  • Credit Suisse analysts believe that Deutsche Bank can plug a capital gap by doing an initial public offering of Postbank, but they also foresee investment bank restructuring as returns on capital stagnate and trading operations consume an ever greater percentage of the bank’s balance sheet
40%  of Deutsche Bank’s shareholders then voted against the discharge of the management board, a widespread disavowal of Jain and Fitschen’s plan.

They see a scenario where Deutsche Bank cuts investment banking assets by a third to EUR 310 billion by 2017
