Brean Capital team members recently presented to bank executives and directors from around the country at the annual Acquire or Be Acquired conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
Our team focused on the commercial specialty finance industry in their presentation entitled: “Specialty Finance – A Dynamic Industry with Attractive Opportunities for Banks.” Bank executives and board members were provided an update on this high-growth subsector of the financial services industry and opportunities for banks to participate and benefit from the merging of these two subsectors.
Brean Capital’s Head of Syndicate, Osnat Naporano, stated: “Banks can participate by acquiring or lending to commercial specialty finance companies, who now provide the majority of all lending to small businesses in the U.S.” Gary McNorrill, Brean Capital’s Head of M&A, added: “The benefits of acquiring a specialty finance company include higher yielding assets, improving profitability, diversifying customer base and product offerings and gathering new commercial deposits … not to mention bringing specialty finance expertise and advanced technology in house.”
Brean Capital’s principals encouraged bank executives and directors to embrace this dynamic industry and utilize it to address the shrinking margins and return on equity of traditional banking.
Bank Director’s Acquire or Be Acquired Conference provides senior leadership teams with numerous opportunities to network with peers that share an interest in exploring financial growth opportunities, strategic initiatives and business partnerships. Entering its’ 30th year, this annual conference is widely regarded as the industry’s premier strategy event for a bank’s CEO, board of directors and their executive team seeking new growth opportunities.
