Community Banking Through the Private Equity Lens Investors Weigh in on the State of the Industry

The Travillian Group hosted two top private equity investors, David Honold from Patriot Financial Partners and Tony Scavuzzo from Castle Creek Capital, in a discussion about the current state of the banking industry and what the future may hold.

Topics included how they effectively partner with banks, how they evaluate management, the return profiles they seek, and views on debt and capital raising. We also delved into branch consolidation trends and the need for banks to be more efficient during a down economy.
