The Changing Landscape of Community Bank Investing
One of the best examples of efficiencies in community banking is the manner in which managers have altered their investment portfolios over the last three years. The typical securities holdings have evolved since 2016 to take advantage of market inefficiencies, changes in tax code and interest rate guidance. We will review the components of a well-structured investment portfolio and its role in the overall balance sheet. We will also suggest some strategies for improving the risk/reward profile of your securities holdings.
