Geographic analysis

The geographic analysis of total assets is based on customer domicile, whereas operating income and capital expenditure are based on the location of the office in which the transactions and assets are recorded. Because of the global nature of financial markets, the Group’s business is managed on an integrated basis worldwide, with a view to profitability by product line. The geographical analysis of operating income, total assets and capital expenditure is provided in order to comply with IFRS and does not reflect the way the Group is managed. Management believes that analysis by Business Group, as shown in Note 2a, is a more meaningful representation of the way in which the Group is managed.
