• NCOs expected to improve across issuers (except AXP). In the last 10 years,

the NCO rate for the JPM Trust Tracker Index has averaged 5bps of

improvement in April. Based on historical trends, we expect NCOs to

deteriorate 3bps for AMXCA (AXP) and improve 2bps for COMET (COF).

delinquencies for the JPM Trust Index has improved 3bps in the month of

April. On a sequential basis, we expect early-stage DQs to improve 3bps for

AMXCA and and 4bps for COMET. We expect total DQs to improve by 3bps
