Beginning with this first part of the 20th annual ABA Banking Journal bank performance rankings—produced by our long-time partner, Capital Performance Group—the traditional two-part analysis was expanded to three groups of banks: large, mid-size, and community banks.

 

 

The “large” category includes institutions of $10 billion in assets or more. “Mid-size” covers banks and savings institutions between $1 billion and $10 billion, and “community” refers to those with assets of under $1 billion. The reclassification was prompted in large measure by the Dodd-Frank Act, which made $10 billion a trigger point for numerous stipulations.

In their analysis of the results of the large banks, CPG’s Vanessa Mambrino and Nick Robin note that improved credit quality, reduced provisions, low interest rates, and recovering capital markets gave many institutions a needed respite from the challenges of the previous two years and allowed them to regain their footing.

As the authors’ observed, the most notable difference between this year’s top performers and the rest of the pack was the pace of loan growth.

In this online report, you can read or download the analysis as it appears in the April 2012 print publication.
