Ian Lampl, CEO of LoanStreet, and Galen Wilhoit, CFO of River Region Credit Union, to Discuss Balance Sheet Management Strategies
NEW YORK, NY—April 7, 2021—LoanStreet Inc. is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a live discussion with the CFO of River Region Credit Union, Galen Wilhoit, focused on how credit unions can measure, maintain, and increase balance sheet flexibility. This discussion will cover general balance sheet principles, alternatives to consider, and tactics that credit unions have successfully employed heading into the current economic environment.
Over the last decade, River Region generated average annualized asset growth of over 17% and average annualized loan growth of over 16%. This growth was accomplished concurrently with an overall capital ratio increase to 8.75% from 8.16%. During this time participated loan balances ranged from a high of 41% to as low as 5% of aggregate loan balances.
“We have some clients that mention specific one-off reasons why they sell or purchase loan participations on our platform such as diversification, liquidity management, or income generation, but some of our clients use participations as a fundamental pillar for maintaining a nimble balance sheet,” Ian Lampl, CEO of LoanStreet, said. “I’m looking forward to a very insightful discussion with Galen about his stewardship of River Region’s balance sheet for the past decade. I’m confident that all depository institutions will enjoy the discussion.”
