Potential Fixed Income Opportunities in the US Banking Sector
Our assessment is that most banks are much better prepared to withstand financial volatility today than they were in 2008-9. As a result of the systematic application of much greater regulatory oversight, US banks have much higher levels of equity capital, better funding and liquidity, less leverage and much lower asset risk. With the potential for stronger supervision and regulation across the sector, we suggest investors carefully select securities from larger, well-capitalized banks with diversified business models and conservative lending strategies.

Stress in US Regional Banks Continues, While the Fed Moves Towards a Pause
US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell addressed concerns about the banking system, stating that conditions have broadly improved since early March, and re-emphasizing that Fed focus will now be on credit tightening. He said the Fed needs a few months of data to determine if monetary policy is sufficiently restrictive and continued to reiterate the importance of lifting the debt ceiling. While the financial markets may become excited about the prospect of the Fed moving to or near a pause, we would advise caution regarding any near-term course reversal by the Fed since the incoming inflation and economic data are not likely to support rate cuts.

Potential Opportunities in the US Banking Sector
Despite the failure of a handful of banks in the US and one in Europe, our view is that 2023 will not present a financial crisis in the magnitude of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008. Furthermore, we believe now is an opportunity to take advantage of the volatility in the banking space by increasing allocations to the banks that we believe to be structural winners—those that have invested in technology or have enviable deposit dynamics.
