Balance Sheet Growth


Loan Growth
12
Emphasis on driving quality loan growth by
balancing between volume and risk along with
maintaining a diversified portfolio
Our largest concentration, indirect auto at 35% of
total loans, is an excellent asset class as it offers
low duration (approx. 2.4 years), good credit risk
(average FICO 720) and relatively high risk-
adjusted yields
Balancing organic and acquisition loan growth
initiatives
C&I and Home Equity have become key areas of
focus for growth
C&I effort to be targeted at Buffalo and
Rochester
Recently hired local talent away from
competitors to gain traction
Home Equity growth strategy positioned as
alternative
to
mortgages
-
most
are
in
first
lien
position, but are more attractive from interest
rate risk prospective
