Key financial positions and ratios of your balance sheet, earnings and equity capital are monitored and evaluated in comparison with established standards and expectations.

Strengths, weaknesses and substandard performance in both projected and multiple interest rate and economic environments are identified. Specific strategic recommendations on earnings assets (loans and investments) and related funding are presented.

Investment portfolio recommendations are made to meet the following overall financial objectives:

• "Parking" surplus liquidity until the funds are re-deployed in loans
• Establishing earning assets whose yield and duration ensure long-term return and liquidity
• Structuring earning assets to offset adverse interest rate risk and liquidity exposure
