Strong Leadership Transition: Piyush Gupta's tenure of 15 years has led to exceptional growth in the bank, with a 14% total shareholder return (TSR) over 15 years. His commitment to DBS remains robust, as Gupta expresses bullish sentiment on DBS' prospects, despite the need for diversification in his personal holdings.

NIM Sensitivity and Outlook: The sensitivity of the net interest margin (NIM) is expected to improve over the year as $55 billion of fixed rate loans roll off. Although NIM is currently around 2.9%, forecasts predict an increase in NIM sensitivity based on the return of CASA deposits and fixed rate roll-offs, potentially leading to NIM declines later in the year.

Wealth Management Opportunities: Wealth management is witnessing significant net new money inflows, with a $6 billion addition in Q4 alone, despite an expected seasonal decrease. The bank is focusing on enhancing its wealth management segment by targeting high-net-worth clients and offering tailored solutions.
