| 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM | Creating Value in an M&A Environment - Philip Smith, Gerrish Smith Tuck Financial institutions want to create value for their stakeholders. For some that means buying other banks, for others it may be considering a transaction, but for most it’s about staying independent and creating value every day. We’ll discuss the M&A environment and how to position your bank to create value without being a buyer or a seller. We’ll look at how the consolidation that is occurring impacts the broader strategies for financial institutions. |
