Homework
Note that the main idea of the project is to showcase your learning and creativity. Thus, I refrain from providing much instructions, rather give you the liberty to design and write up the project on your own. However, I am always here for your questions and guidance. A few overall questions (specific questions and guidelines are provided below) that you should answer by the project are:
• How did the bank (or other financial institution of your choice) perform?
• Compare over the various measures of operational efficiency.
• Compare performance over short term (current year with the previous year) and long term (current year with a year five or 10 years before, for example 2019 with 2014 and 2009, to understand trend of performance or related measures).
• Compare with the peer group of banks
• Risks the bank is facing and handling (strategies) of the risk.
• Discuss about off-balance sheet items. Compared to the peers does the bank have more or less? Could you provide some reasons?
• Comment on bank's operational strategy compared with the competitor: what you like and dislike and provide you suggestions.
• Anything else that is helpful to complete your analysis/argument.
