Management aims to maintain the ratio of shareholders' view of total capital resources over required capital at above 200%, which is 269% for 2023, and will narrow to 238%, taking into account the remaining US$2.8 billion in the Company's existing US$10 billion repurchase program and the newly announced US$2 billion repurchase program.

On free surplus, it was noted that UFSG is considered to be one of the key metrics in management's short-term incentive plan, and should be added to the long-term KPI.

Citi Research kept rating on the Company at Buy, with a target price of $100.
