14. Capital 
 
At 31 July 2016, the group's common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 13.5% (31 July 2015: 13.7%). 
 
Common equity tier 1 capital increased to £901.4 million (31 July 2015: £813.2 million) primarily due to growth in profit
attributable to shareholders. 
 
Risk weighted assets increased to £6,682.5 million (31 July 2015: £5,932.1 million) as a result of growth in credit and
counterparty risk associated with the loan book.  Notional risk weighted assets for operational risk also increased
reflecting increased performance over recent years. 
 
The composition of capital remained broadly stable with 97.4% (31 July 2015: 95.9%) of the total capital consisting of
common equity tier 1 capital.
