The following articulates the overall basic procedure and presentation details for all three cases for the semester; each case will be laid out the same way. PURPOSE The purpose behind these studies is: (1) help you develop a strong awareness of the financial structure of depository financial institutions, insurance companies, and investment banks and investment companies, respectively; (2) further your financial analysis skills; and (3) broaden your understanding of the risks and strengths inherent in the important financial institutions in the United States. PROCEDURE There will be a total of three case studies, assigned separately, to wit - a randomly assigned bank, insurance company , and investment company. It is your task to analyze the financial structure of each company provided. Analysis consists of both narrative and Excel analysis. When submitted, it should contain, as a minimum, the following: Contents: Identifying Data – This is a cover page (see attached format) Narrative - A brief summary of your data analysis findings, bullet format permitted UNLESS YOU FEEL A MORE DETAILED NARRATIVE IS NECESSARY. A SUMMARY OF YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S SOUNDNESS. This section may employ comparative, general financial institution data and would be best NOT in bullet format. Excel Spreadsheet – 2 years of data to be obtained from SEC/Edgar and/or FDIC.gov since these are the primary sources for financial data. In other words, don’t necessarily trust Yahoo! Finance or MSN Money. Calculate the Financial Institution’s: ROE and ROA Equity Multiplier Profit Margin (net income/total operating income), plus these detailed sub-ratios: interest income/total operating income, provision for loan loss/total operating income, non-interest expense/total operating income, and income taxes /total operating income (for banks ) Asset Utilization (total operating income/total assets), plus these sub-ratios: interest income/total assets and non-interest income/total assets (for banks). You are free to use other ratios and analysis techniques (i.e., DuPont Analysis) but only if you feel they are important in making a point in either your analysis or conclusions. Don’t add them just to impress me; I won’t be impressed. Maximum narrative length: 2 pages plus cover page and Excel file. Use cover page template, below (don’t get creative here. I want the cover EXACTLY as shown – with your info obviously): NAME OF INSTITUTION (Symbol) Headquarters Address Sector (i.e. Regional Bank , Midwest, Super-Regional Bank, or Money Center Bank) Market Capitalization Total Assets Profile (brief as reasonably possible) – you may use Yahoo! Finance , MSN Money, Morningstar or other source including the institution’s webpage. Your Name

Paper For Above instruction

This case study requires a comprehensive analysis of a designated financial institution, specifically Intervest Bank Shares, focusing on its financial structure, performance, and overall soundness. The objective is to deepen understanding of depository institutions, enhance financial analysis skills, and recognize inherent risks within US financial institutions.

The analysis process involves multiple steps, starting with gathering two years of financial data from primary sources such as SEC/Edgar or FDIC.gov. It is crucial to rely on these verified sources rather than general media sites like Yahoo! Finance or MSN Money to ensure accuracy and reliability of financial information. Once data are obtained, the core ratios and financial metrics need to be calculated.

First, Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) will be computed to evaluate profitability. The equity multiplier, which indicates the financial leverage of the institution, will also be calculated as part of the DuPont analysis. Profit margin, defined as net income divided by total operating income, provides insights into operational efficiency.

Further analysis involves detailed sub-ratios: interest income over total operating income, the provision for loan loss over total operating income, non-interest expenses over total operating income, and income taxes over total operating income. For asset utilization, total operating income divided by total assets will be calculated, alongside interest income and non-interest income as proportions of total assets for a more granular view.

The narrative summary should interpret these ratios to assess financial health, stability, and efficiency. It must be succinct yet comprehensive, ideally not exceeding two pages, to highlight critical insights about the bank's performance and soundness.

Additionally, a cover page must be prepared following the specified template, including detailed institutional data: institution’s name and symbol, headquarters address, sector classification, market capitalization, total assets, and a brief profile derived from credible sources like Yahoo! Finance, Morningstar, or the institution’s official website. Each student’s name should be included as well. This structured approach ensures consistency across all submissions, facilitating comparison and evaluation.

In conclusion, this project integrates quantitative financial analysis and qualitative narrative to provide a holistic view of Intervest Bank Shares’ fiscal robustness, risk exposure, and future outlook within the US financial sector.
