This program is designed to familiarize you with funding techniques available to community banks and thrifts. With non-core liabilities now representing 20% of the industry’s funding, understanding what these choices are and how they are used is an essential ingredient for better understanding how balance sheets in our industry are changing and how the industry is using these funding techniques to enhance earnings. This program describes ten different techniques now being used to provide the fuel necessary to fund your loan and investment portfolios.  This review describes each funding alternative then describes how each is used to improve a bank’s performance. Advantages and disadvantages of each technique are also reviewed so that participants have a basic understanding of each funding option.

Valuation levels are high. Competition is increasing. Bigger is better (or is it?). In today’s environment, what is the best way to maximize shareholder value? The simulation includes a case study of a community bank that has come to a crossroad, facing a proposed merger either with an in-market competitor or a larger super-regional bank. This interactive simulation divides up the participants into boards of directors of three separate banks. Counsel and financial advisors will consult with each board team on issues relevant to their decision-making process.  WIB has done this program many times and it has been well received.  (Minimum of 18 registrants is needed for this simulation).
