For many community banks, liquidity has become an earnings problem. The Fed Funds Target rate has been 0-25 basis points since December of 2008, and community banks have been carrying a large Fed Funds sold and/or Federal Reserve account—both earning 25 basis points or less. The damage to earnings is likely significant and many bankers continue to make no decision about this real issue.
Our session is designed to explore this issue and present proven ideas for turning overnight liquidity into "earnings liquidity" through a more productive and safe credit risk strategy. We will explore assets of value and funding ideas that can quickly be turned into real profit enhancements in 2012 and beyond.
Reich & Tang is pleased to host your speakers, Karl P. Nelson, President, KPN Consulting, and Charles M. Ellis, Portfolio Manager, Vaughan Nelson Investment Management.
