Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) is undergoing a leadership change as CEO Bharat Masrani prepares to retire in April 2025, with Raymond Chun set to take over. This transition comes amid an ongoing investigation into TD's involvement in money laundering activities in the U.S. A shareholder believes this change provides a chance for the bank to rebuild its reputation and address the challenges posed by the investigation. While Chun starts with a clean slate, he will need to navigate the complexities of the U.S. banking environment and improve TD's performance there, especially considering the bank's recent struggles and the legacy left by Masrani.

The change was prompted by ongoing investigations into money laundering practices at TD's U.S. branches, leading to the need for accountability in management.
What challenges will Raymond Chun face as the new CEO?
Chun will face challenges in enhancing TD’s presence in the U.S. banking market, which is more competitive than the Canadian market.

Masrani acknowledged the challenges faced during his tenure, taking responsibility and committing to advancing the bank's remediation efforts before his retirement.
