The competitive deposit landscape is as challenging as we have ever seen in modern banking history. We are left wondering what is considered core as the mix from low-cost stable deposits to rate sensitive funding continues to change. The historically inverted yield curve adds further pressure to these challenges and margins.

So, we search for the optimal deposit strategy to fund loan growth and manage funding costs. The equilibrium is difficult to find, but we know that every basis point counts. And there are certainly basis points up for grabs given the impending Fed pivot. Join Managing Directors Joe Kennerson and Billy Guthrie as they explore the deposit strategy outlook. They will share an inside look at current Deposits360°® data trends and forecast, case studies and lessons learned from the cycle, and provide a Fed Easing strategy playbook.


We hope you will join us for this CPE-eligible event.
