Synthetic sustainable-growth-rate scenarios

SGR changes when ROE or retention changes. The bars show the output of a declared identity, not an operating forecast or universal target.

A bar chart shows three synthetic sustainable growth-rate scenarios calculated as ROE multiplied by retention ratio. ROE 12 percent with 70 percent retention gives 8.4 percent. ROE 12 percent with 45 percent retention gives 5.4 percent. ROE 16 percent with 75 percent retention gives 12.0 percent. Values are illustrative identity outputs, not a forecast or benchmark.0%2%4%6%8%10%12%14%8.4%ROE 12%, retain 70%5.4%ROE 12%, retain 45%12.0%ROE 16%, retain 75%Declared ROE and retentionSynthetic sustainable growth rate (%)
