Improving operating efficiencies more than counter declining net interest margins. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC)’s return on tangible assets has hit our 10% goal.

Recent regulatory approval for a 50% increase in dividends and another $5 billion of stock buybacks will improve capital allocation.
From Bruce Berkowitz (Trades, Portfolio)'s first-half 2016 letter to shareholders.
