"Skijoring" & Community Banking

Deposits | ALM Strategy | Loans | Yield Curve

Banking in the current environment is akin to getting dragged on skis by a runaway horse!

The current environment has created tremendous uncertainty and, in some instances, has made many bankers feel out of the control. While all bankers like to have full control over every aspect of their balance sheet, there are clearly some risks that are out there that bankers simply cannot control. Much like those who love skijoring, bankers have always been in the business of taking and managing risk, and the competitor who prepares the most and fully understands all the potential consequences of their actions will ultimately navigate their way down the course in the most efficient manner possible.
