0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in this morning from federal bank regulators in front of

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the Center Banking Committee's kind of the takeaways, one of

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>them at least as being reported by Bloomberg suggesting that

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>these there may be more bank regulations coming down the line.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's get the latest on what's happening with some of

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>these regional banks so that we can do that with

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Herman Chan, He's a regional bank analyst from Bloomberg Intelligence.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>It's been our go to source here as we navigate

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>through some of these issues. He's with Bloomberg Intelligence. He

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>joins me here in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. So, Herman,

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the regulators suggesting this morning and again in

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>testimony in front of Congress that maybe even more bank

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>regulations are needed. And we've heard the bankers on the

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>largest banks Jamie Diamond most notably complaining about all the

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>regulations post you know, two thousand and eight that the

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>industry has had to deal with. Do you think there

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>will will be more regulations coming to maybe some of

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>those smaller, more regional banks. Yeah. I think that's the

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>natural response to what's happened with the fallout from SVB

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>in Signature. These smaller banks will need to be more

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>tightly regulated. Remember, the US regulatory system for banks now

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is a bit tiered, where the largest too big to

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>fail banks have the most onerous capital and liquidity regulations

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and requirements, and as you get smaller in size, those

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 1>requirements are lessened. So the natural response I think from

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>regulators is to tighten up those regulations for the banks

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>at as low as one hundred billion dollars in assets,

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>which would you know, in hindsight, would have captured banks

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>like SVB and Signature with higher regulatory requirements. What about

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the cost associated with that? I mean, it's one thing

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>for a JP Morgan, a Bank of America to have

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to you know, fund those types of investments in controls

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and regulations, how about so many smaller banks? Yeah? I

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>think the upshot is that profitability will be weekend. You're

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:16.239
<v Speaker 1>going to already incur costs by refilling the oppositive insurance fund.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got twenty billion dollars in losses from SEB twenty

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>two and a half billion losses from signatures, So that's

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>going to come out of the regional banks and the

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>largest banks coffers. You've got expectations that liquidity requirements will increase.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You've got expectations that these banks will have to issue

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>some more debt for loss absorbing capital purposes. So all

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>that put together means some weaker profitability for banks going forward.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>What are investors telling you? Are they just running away

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>from this group? Are they trying to pick the winners

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and losers the relatively stronger banks out there? Right? The

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>backdrop is still a bit uncertain, So you've got that

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>going on. But there are some folks that are looking

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at some of these banks that have been winners so far,

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the banks like c I T that I'm sorry, like

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>First Citizens that that recently announced the purchase of SBB.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>You've got a New York Community that recently made the

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>purchase of assets and deposits from from Signature. So there

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>are some winners, and there's still some some folks that

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>are still known as as areas and ports of strength

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>banks like M and T and PNC and regions that

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>are are less affected by the the shenanigans that happened

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>with SBB and signature. So there are some some pockets

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that where that some investors are looking at

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>right now. So what surprised me at that at the

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this Silicon Valley Bank story was my realization

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's the sixth It was the sixteenth largest bank

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in the US. Right. That shocked me because I'd heard

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of it because it's a tech but I figured it

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>was just a regional, but it was big. Are there

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>other names out there that you know? Do you think

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>they're regulations saying, oh boy, if a sixteenth largest bank

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>could be in trouble, we need to start looking at

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>number seventeen, eighteen nineteen that kind of thing, right, And

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what these regulations are intended to do,

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is to bring the tighter regulatory grip on the bank

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the sixteen seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty into maybe twenty five

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>or thirty largest banks in the US. So we don't

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>have this sort of scenario happen again. But I think

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>regulators also need to sharpen what they're really trying to

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>fight here, right, because higher capital ratios isn't going to

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>do the trick. Right. This wasn't a capital issue, this

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>was a liquidity issue. And there were less concrete answers

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>from regulators today in the testimony about what they could

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>do to really tighten the regulatory aspect of liquidity. It

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>seems like part of it. And I think some of

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>the senators are trying to get to this point today,

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>which is, you know, this is more of a regulatory mistake,

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>if you will, an error and not seen and not

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at the balance sheet of SVB, for example, and

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>just seeing all those assets held the maturity a big

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>number versus the level of deposits, and right, the risk

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that that now isn't that kind of bank regulation one

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>on one, Yeah, you would think so, right, Yeah, it's

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>something that interest rate risk is the bread and butter

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>of how you manage a bank. And it seems like

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>there were there from the testimony today. The regulators in California,

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the state of California regulators were looking more closely with SBB,

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>but there was not enough action by both regulators and

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the management team to to really rectify the issues that

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>were that were highlighted by by the regulatory folks. So

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that's one and I think the other issue is that

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody really articulated or really understood the aspects of deposit

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>flight and deposit flight, particularly for insured, large, chunky commercial deposits,

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's something that really needs to be focused on

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with respect to how fast these things can leave the

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>bank and the balance sheets of banks, especially in the

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>age of social media where you have a herd mentality,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>and also with in this age of digital banking, where

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>folks can move their money. That's a big thing. Like

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I've learned just you know, I've up to my digital

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 1>banking game a lot over the pandemic and the ability

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to wire funds, transfer funds, and you know, there's obviously

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>daily limits and someone, but you can move money so

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>much faster and so much more easily. Literally from your phone,

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting on your couch, you can move you know. It's

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just amazing that I'm not sure how you regulate

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>that other than putting some limits on it. But the

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>big question, or a big question I have for you,

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>is there and I learned this kind of comparing, contrasting

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 1>what's happened in the US versus what happened in Switzerland

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and coming to recognize that Europeans countries have far fewer

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>banks than you do. We've got all these regional banks.

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>How many banks in the country five four or five thousand? Okay,

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>So you go into any town, USA and there's a

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>local bank, there's a Satan's Alane or something or whatever.

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>How are those regular Is that still the FDIC is

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>going to go down to that small of a community bank. No,

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I think those folks, those smaller community banks that serve

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>your local town is not going to be affected by

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>any of these more tight and more strenuous regulations. It's

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>really going to be the banks that are going to

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>be above one hundred billion dollars in assets, maybe down

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to fifty billion in assets if if the FED wants

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to be more drastic with their measures. But these smaller

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>regional banks, they are not too big to fail. Right

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>If a local town bank in in ABC town in

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>rural Ohio, that's not going to be a systemic issue

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that's going to affect the overall infrastructure of the industry.

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Whereas SBB. As we've seen, we've now realized that the

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>sixteenth largest bank in the US can have wide ramifications

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>for the industry. Looking forward here, one of the concerns

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>for I would think small and mid sized businesses is

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>getting access to growth capital from my local regional bank.

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>That's been my partner. But I see my regional bank

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they've had a lot of deposits withdrawn. Maybe they're going

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to money market accounts. Who knows where they're going. Is

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>there a concern that credit will become tighter for the

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>small business owner, may be more expensive that type of thing,

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>at least in the near term, right, I think that's

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the knock on effect potentially for what the issues with

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the SBB and signature fallout. Regional banks will have to

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>both raise their costs of their funding because they want

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to keep their deposits in house. So one way to

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 1>entice your depositors to stay is to raise the interest

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>rate that you're giving to these depositors. That has an

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>effect on banks margins. So if your funding costs arise,

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>then you probably have to increase the lending rates to

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>make that same spread you were making three weeks ago. Right,

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So the cost of credit is going to rise, and

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the credit availability could decline because banks are going to

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>be more aware of how they're lending in this environment

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>where a potential session that's coming down the road, and

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>they want to be more conservative with how they lend.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>So those factors will have ramifications for the economy. And

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>are you so I'm looking at your former employer, M

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>ANDT Bank because I've I've identified that as a quality,

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 1>high quality regional bank. Okay, that's my analysis. It's still

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>down seventeen percent this year. I mean even the quality

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>banks out there, the ones that are not part of

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley, part or even part of that business customer base,

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>you know that you might see, like some of the

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>other banks that are being challenged right now, that's still down.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you're an MT bank, you just got to

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>put your head down and keep doing your business right

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>right right. You really can't control what the stock price

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>is doing. The market is going to be the markets,

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're really focused on banking your core customers and

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>doing what you've always been doing, having a very conservative

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>risk profile across credit, interest rate, risk, capital, etc. So

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the banks that are strong will continue to be doing

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing and they'll find spots to grow their organization,

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe through M and A, but it's going to be

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a slow growth profile across the industry given where we

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>are with interest rates and the inverted curve. And for

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>just MT they're gonna report their next quarterly earnings April seventeen,

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>so you can have your bank earnings coming out starting

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of weeks. What do you expect to hear?

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>What are the questions you're going to ask? What do

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you think one of some of the tough questions when

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>you get on those investor calls, people are going to

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>ask about these bank managers. It just simply how sound

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>is your bank? I mean, we can see the balance sheet,

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>but what do you want to hear from management? I

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>want to hear how sturdy their deposits were over the

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>course of these last three weeks. Were you having more

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>conversations with your commercial clients about moving about those clients

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>moving their posits out. How much are you paying for

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.959
<v Speaker 1>your incremental deposits that you're that are coming in the door.

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>How much as as a measure of caution and current services?

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>And how much did you tap the FED discount window

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>in these emergency liquidity measures to prepare against some liquidity

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>outflow from your depositors. So those are all the questions

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.839
<v Speaker 1>that I think investors should be focused on the resiliency

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of the deposit base and how stable they can be

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>in this moment of potential stress. And they will also

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>disclose kind of loan growth, right are they are they

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in fact loaning out money? Because if they're not loaning

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the money, then I would say, oh, maybe they're concerned

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>about that deposit base, right exactly. I think overall loan

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>growth is going to be a bit slower going forward,

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and you should really see that in the first quarter numbers. Okay,

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>so I guess the is there a list out there

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that people have I'm really worried about these regional banks. Yeah,

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess the ones that are continued to be circled

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>from a market standpoint and things. I would say things

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>have quieted down a bits based on the market reactions

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to these names over the past a few days. But

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>First Republic is going to be the one that I

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>think investments are focused on in terms of how much

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>deposit outflow they have and how are they going to

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>manage that company going forward if they're going to be

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>remain solvent. So that's the biggest question, the big one

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>right interesting because it stocks down another four percent today,

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.719
<v Speaker 1>down to almost ninety percent this year. And this is

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a company that says we want to try to, you know,

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>make it on our own here, so I'll have to

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to that. Herman Chin, thanks once again for
