asset management businesses • the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and our mortgage originations and mortgage servicing
rights • the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses • changes in the value of our venture capital investments • changes in our accounting policies or in
accounting standards or in how accounting standards are to be applied • mergers and acquisitions • federal and state regulations • reputational damage
