TORONTO-DOMINION BANK: THE RESTRUCTURING
CEO Strategic Memo
June 2030 | CEO Edition
TD needs to address structural challenges:
-
Canadian Housing Exposure: Reduce mortgage portfolio concentration. Shift focus to higher-margin business (wealth management, investment banking).
-
Ameritrade Integration: Complete integration by 2032 or consider divesting. Current integration is destroying value.
-
Cost Reduction: Target $500M annual cost savings through technology and consolidation.
-
US Expansion: Refocus on select markets (California, New York, Texas) rather than broad US expansion.
Financial target: Stabilize ROE at 10-11% through margin management and cost efficiency.
Timeline: 24 months to demonstrate progress.
