• It is called the “Key West of Lake Erie”.

• The Victory Hotel had 625 rooms and was the largest hotel in America.

• The island is home to nearly 40 bars and restaurants.

• Lots of “liquidity”

Liquidity

Page 40

• People are spending money: – Restaurants are full– Lots of new toys– Lending is increasing

• People are not saving money

Liquidity

Page 41

The last Fed tightening cycle resulted in a 3.50% increase in the cost of funds.

• In 2007, after three years of a rising interest rate environment, a 6-month Certificate of Deposit yielded 5.30%. The yield had increased 3.50%.

• Today, after two and one-half years of interest rates rising a 6- month Certificate of Deposit yields 1.45%. This is so far only up 1.00% from 0.45%.

As the economy expands, we expect scarcity of deposits to continue to push deposit rates higher.

Liquidity

Page 42

• Sources– Cash– Investments– Loan sales– Brokered deposits– Overnight borrowings availability– Term Borrowings availability

Liquidity

Page 43

• Rising rates = Higher cost of funds• Customers (members) do not use CD’s any

more.• With out CD’s (all else being equal) interest

rate risk increases

Page 44

Home Values

• Volume of new homes is still low• Dollars spent is way up• Value of houses is up

Liquidity

Page 45

• Home values are significantly up• Lots of mortgages to pledge • A strong liquidity option is FHLB advances

FHLB Advances for Liquidity

Page 46

• Fixed advances give you a known interest cost• Advances where you have the right to keep

them or cancel them are to your advantage• If interest rates rise – hold them• If interest rates fall – turn them in

Callable Advances

Page 47

• Additional cost of 30 Basis points on a 7 year advance− 7 year bullet = 3.35%− 7 year callable by you =3.65%

• 7 year brokered CD = 3.60%

Liquidity

Page 48

• Major exam focus

• What should you do?– Monthly liquidity forecasting (spreadsheet)– Quarterly liquidity testing– Grow your available borrowings

Liquidity

Page 49

• Ahead of the curve, behind or just right?– Raise rates now– Later– Ignore it?

• Banks in the news– Comerica– Bank of the Ozarks

Why? 80% deposit betas in Q2 2018
