May 18, 2022After historic GDP growth and retail sales in 2021, are the days of unprecedented growth over for your retail clients? The short answer: It’s complicated.

Bankruptcy & Restructuring - Where are we Now? Update 2022
May 9, 2022The last two years have been a roller coaster for businesses.

Next Frontier in Lending: High Net-Worth Lending
May 2, 2022Innovation in high net-worth lending is primed to be a new frontier in credit. Rarely do opportunities exist to make waves in lending, but this is one.

There is also a wall between consumer and business lending units so most banks cannot take a holistic approach to a business owner’s business and personal assets. Several groups working together can, but this takes time, adds complexity and still has its limitations in a regulatory and traditional banking environment. Coincidentally, both commercial lenders and wealth managers are starting to converge on this space and each other’s turf by changing their offerings. -
