Outlook
Private Equity
At current market levels, expect modest possible write-
downs over near term
Corporate
More sizable investment portfolio; higher net interest
income, some trading volatility
At current market levels, quarterly revenue of $1.8B +/-
is a
reasonable run rate for the near term
Trading can be volatile; DVA expected to be negative
Uncertain environment, risks still remain
Credit costs expected to remain elevated
Current revenue level is a reasonable expectation
Higher credit costs expected
Revenue of $2.0B +/-
for next couple of quarters driven by
lower assets under custody and lower liability balances and
spreads
Home lending quarterly losses (incl. WaMu) over the next
several quarters could be as high as:
Home equity
$1.4B
Prime mortgage
$500mm
Subprime mortgage
$375mm-$475mm
Solid underlying growth in Consumer Banking
Strong 1Q09 MSR risk management results
not likely to be
repeated
Special FDIC assessment of $700mm to $750mm (pretax) to
be finalized and assessed in 2Q09
If economy weakens further, additional reserving actions
may be required
Chase losses will approach 9% +/-
next quarter; could trend
up further depending on unemployment in 2009
WaMu losses to approach 18-24% by end of 2009
Lower charge volume

Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") is calculated, for all purposes, as common stockholders equity (i.e.,
total stockholders' equity less preferred stock) less identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs) and
goodwill, net of related deferred tax liabilities. TCE is, in management's view, a meaningful measure of
capital quality. The TCE measures used in this presentation are not necessarily comparable to similarly
titled measures provided by other firms due to differences in calculation methodologies.

Financial results are presented on a managed basis, as such basis is described in the firm’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and Annual Report on Form
10-K for the

All non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation are provided to assist readers in
