Americas Banks Americas Banks Banking on Technology the Shareholder Benefits of a Digital Future EQUITY RESEARCH | May 22, 2018 | 12:35AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Americas Banks Americas Banks Banking on technology The shareholder benefits of a digital future The benefits of innovation in the banking industry have largely either accrued to customers in the form of lower prices or added to the cost base of the banking industry with limited revenue benefits. We see the current wave of digitization, which is centered on electronic payments, straight through processing and AI, generating real scale and efficiency benefits for the largest US banks. The decreasing importance of a physical distribution network also appears to be driving market share concentration with the largest banks taking 6pp of deposit market share since 2008. We see these trends accelerating over the next five years and estimate that the largest banks could see 350bps of efficiency improvement increasing to 800bps if revenue growth is factored in. Tech companies continue to seek opportunities to expand into financial services given their brand and broad customer base. However, we see their focus on eliminating frictions in payments and expanding their offerings to the under-banked, which are likely to be better achieved through partnerships and JVs with incumbent players.

  • Blackstone, Goldman Lead $1.25B Bet on City Offices
    July 26, 2021 Link to Article Blackstone, Goldman lead $1.25B bet on city offices Blackstone Group Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are leading financing for the $1.25 billion redevelopment of a 19th-century warehouse on Manhattan’s west side into a 21st-century office complex. The financing marks the largest construction deal so far this year in Manhattan, according to a statement Friday by L&L Holding Co. and Columbia Property Trust, developers of the Terminal Warehouse, which occupies an entire block in the West Chelsea neighborhood. The project is moving ahead without a major tenant at an uncertain time for New York’s office market. The city has a record amount of space available, and employees have been slow to return from pandemic work-from-home arrangements. Terminal Warehouse is south of Hudson Yards, where new skyscrapers have drawn major financial and technology tenants. “Our ability to secure financing in this current environment is both a testament to the merits of this project as well as a show of the investment community’s continued faith in the future of New York City’s economy,” Robert Lapidus, L&L’s chief investment officer, said in the statement. Blackstone’s real estate debt platform led the financing, with Goldman and KKR & Co. participating in $974 million of senior debt. Oaktree Capital Management led $274 million in junior mezzanine financing in partnership with Paramount Group. “This property is rich in history and we are excited to be part of another high-quality office addition to the growing Hudson Yards and broader west side area of Manhattan,” Michael Eglit, managing director in Blackstone’s Real Estate Debt Strategies group, said in an email.

  • Wealth Management in a Mobile-First Era
    Wealth Management In A Mobile-First Era How To Turn Robo Savers Into Robo Investors 14 December 2016 By: Mark Schwanhausser A growing number of so-called robo investment firms, fintech innovators, and bank partnerships is rushing to refine a cost-effective business model for investment services in a digital-first era. The challenges are numerous, starting with how to tempt today’s affluent Gen X, Baby Boomer, and female investors to try untested upstarts while also grooming tomorrow’s Gen Y banking customers who aren’t yet rich. The outcome will be shaped by how well financial institutions incorporate robo capabilities in three categories: digital banking insights, robo advising and investing, and personalized “robo writing.” Together, these services and players can build on Javelin’s Financial Journey Model, usher in new ways to coach customers, simplify investment decisions, counter anxiety in volatile times — and put banks and credit unions in a strong position when customers are ready to invest. Key questions discussed in this report: How can financial institutions use robo services to provide cost-effective investment services and groom customers to become eventual wealth management clients? What is the forecast for the potential market for Gen Y, Gen X, and Baby Boomer investors? Can banks and credit unions compete to provide robo services profitably? How should an FI prioritize investments to deliver insights in digital banking, robo advising and investing, and personalized information? Companies Mentioned: Acorns, Amazon (Echo), AssetBuilder,

    CASH & BANKING LPL Financial Insured Cash Account (ICA): Current Priority Bank List Retail Accounts Effective May 07, 2021 ABOUT THE PRIORITY BANK LIST (PBL) The Priority Bank List is a list of available Banks into which your funds may be deposited and is available from your financial advisor and on lplfinancial.lpl.com/disclosures. The Banks appear in columns by state or region. In the column under your applicable state or region are multiple Banks in the order in which your funds will be allocated. The last banks on the list are “Excess Banks” and are noted as such. For all other banks on the PBL except these Excess Banks, LPL Financial as your agent will ensure that your ICA sweep deposits do not exceed the $250,000 (or $500,000 for joint accounts) FDIC-defined ownership category limits. For the Excess Banks, your funds may be deposited without consideration of the $250,000 and $500,000 limits. However, this will only be done when there is insufficient capacity in other Banks on the PBL to take your assets and not break through the $250,000 and $500,000 limits and is meant to be temporary in nature. You may not change the order of the Banks on the PBL. However, you may, at any time, designate a Bank as ineligible to receive your funds. This will result in your funds not being deposited into this bank or if already there, we will remove your funds from that Bank and designate the Bank as ineligible to receive future deposits. Unless you direct us to place your funds in a different investment, your funds from eliminated Banks will be deposited at the first available Bank set forth on the Priority Bank List, as amended by you.
