					Federal funds started to decline after 2008, the worst part of the financial crisis.

Intercontinental Bank shows less comparative decline.

					Intercontinental Bank holds a greater bond portfolio than Bank of Coral Gables. Perhaps, that is related to the Intercontinental's strong investment in Federal Funds during 2008-09. Intercontinental Bank could be holding more liquid assets in order to increases its liquidity in the short-term.

					Intercontinental Bank has less exposure to real estate loans than Bank of Coral Gables. However, Bank of Coral Gables's real estate loans have been declining during last years.

					While Bank of Coral Gables has strongly increased its commercial loan portfolio during the last year, Intercontinental Bank shows a mild decline of those loans since 2008. However, it appears to be a timid recuperation for Intercontinetal during last year.

					There is an appreciable difference between the banks' amounts of loans, which clearly shows hightest levels of lending for Bank of Coral Gables.

					Bank of Coral Gables' exposition to subprime loans could be the reason why it have increased its allowances for loans. By the contrary, Intercontinental Bank still expecting to see losses in its loans have separated a much less significant amount to cover it. During last year, Bank of Coral Gables' allowance has increased even thought its total loan are decresing.

					Intercontinental Bank shows a very stable trend; however, Bank of Coral Gables' fixed assets have decreasing for motre than 25% during the period. Perhaps, Bank of Coral Gables has lessen its size in order to reducing its expenses.

					Bank of Coral Gables' total assets have been decreasing almost a 10% during the period. It is possible that as its loans turn sour it should sacrifice liquidity and assets to cover its loan losses. On the other hand, Intercontinental Bank has been increasing its assets. Maybe this is consequence of a more conservative strategy of investment: a lot of bonds, well-selected commercial loans, moderate consumers loan, and low level of loan losses.

VI. Conclusions and VII. Biblio

VI. Conclusion and Decision

1. Would you place a personal deposit of $1 million or more in these two banks?

After careful analysis of Bank of Coral Gables and Intercontinental Bank, I have decided that I would not place a deposit of $1 million in any of the two banks. After reviewing the financial statements for both institutions, I found serious liquidity problems with Bank of Coral Gables. Aditionally, this bank have a negative exposure to commercial and subprime loans, which has rocketed its allowances for loans losses. All mentioned above has contributed to a decreasing loan's portfolio, return on assets, and a major drop in retained earnings. Both banks have also experienced a decline in their total deposits wich can be attributed to their inability to maintain customers. Finally, Intercontinental Bank has needed in a regular basis of federal funds purchases to operate.

2. Would you invest $500,000 in these two banks?

I have decided that I would not place an investment of half a million in any of those banks. The reasons to avoid becoming a shareholder are similar to those mentioned on the first response to avoid becoming a depositor. Equally, from a risk-return perspective, there is not strong economic expectations for capital gains or dividens on being an owner on those financial institutions. Additionally, I have taken on account the opportunity cost associated with this investment. Right now, in my humble opinion, there are more secured and profitable ways to invest such amount of money, in other more solid banks for instance.

3. If you were a member of the Board of Directors of a third bank and you sat on that Bank's Credit Committee, would you grant a $1 million line of credit for Overnight or Term Federal Funds to these two banks?

If I were a member of the Board of Directors of a third bank, I would not grant to Bank of Coral Gables a $1 million line of credit for overnight after considering the financial, liquidity and efficiency ratios for this bank. However, I will seriously ponder to offert a federal fund purchase to Intercontinental Bank if the expected return on the operation is according to its risk level. My decision relay on the study of the Intercontinental's operations. This bank has been borrowing for the last three years this kind of funds, and so far it looks to being accomplish its obligations. Additionally, from an financial perspective, it seems to be a more solid institution than Bank of Coral Gables because Intercontinental has a strong position on bonds, and a consistent flow of income. Finally, Intercontinental have a lower number of bad loans; consequently, it is expected to suffer less defaults on their mortgages than Bank of Coral Gables.
