Great points. Additionally, there may be some questions from regulators as to the timelines necessary for raising capital under various circumstances and scenarios. A discussion of the trigger points for those capital needs and the actions the bank board and management anticipate needing to take should be included in the Capital Plan. Along with the trigger points leadership is watching and the anticipated course of action, there should be thoughtful consideration of a realistic timeline for the action needed. If X happens, then we need to do Y, and it realistically with take Z months (years) from start to finish to satisfy the need called for. #bankingindustry #bank #bankceo #strategicoptionsbanks

Imagine a room filled with some of the most impressive bank CEOs in the United States, all focused on shaping the future of finance. That was the scene at Second Curve Capital's Financial Services CEO Retreat in Chicago earlier this week. As someone who has spent over two decades working alongside officers & directors as they focus on growth strategies, risk management, and digital evolution, I found this year’s discussions and insights particularly relevant. The event, curated by Tom Brown and his team, offered a great platform for peer-to-peer networking and candid conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing our industry. Here are some key takeaways I jotted down during various presentations: #Culture A recurring theme was the importance of having the right people and culture in place. It was emphasized that without these crucial elements, any success achieved is likely to be short-lived. #Growth | #Complexity An interesting perspective shared was the relationship between growth and complexity. As organizations expand, they often become more complex, which can ultimately hinder further growth. Despite regulatory challenges, one speaker stressed the need to think big, act small, and foster a stronger bias for action. #Fundamentals The conference highlighted that banking success is closely tied to effectively managing the liability side of the balance sheet. Optimization in this area was presented as a key theme for banks to focus on in ‘25. #RiskManagement A notable point was that bank executives prefer certainty in their operations. They aim to avoid guesswork when it comes to important metrics such as ratios and credit assessments. #SuccessionPlanning Finally, the complexity of succession planning in financial institutions was discussed, acknowledging that it can be a complicated and messy process. But successful examples in high-profile firms do exist, and I was so impressed with Charles Schwab’s CEO, Walt Bettinger(who just announced his retirement as CEO from the company on Monday). A model of humility that reminded me of past conversations with Richard Davis as he retired from U.S. Bank As we look towards 2025, I am optimistic about the future of banking and financial services. Despite the challenges we face — from regulatory pressures to technological disruptions — the creativity and resilience I witnessed at this event give me confidence that our industry will not just adapt, but thrive.
