Though many of the super-regional and money center banks continue to be plagued with serious problems, for investors in regional and community banks the picture is much brighter.

According to Pitchbook, the number of middle-market bank deals in 2010 could well be double the total from 2009.  Already, 30 deals have closed and 14 more were announced but are still in the making.  

What many of these deals have in common is that they’re positioned to take advantage of the looming trend toward massive consolidation among small banks. 

A new regulatory environment has combined with slow economic growth to create a climate that makes it difficult for many banks to grow organically, but for a select few to grow rapidly by taking advantage of the industry turmoil. 

In addition to hundreds of banks being expected to fail over the next few years, better-managed and capitalized banks will be absorbing their weaker peers to improve operating efficiency, enhance liquidity and exploit regulatory advantages. 

The incentives to consolidate are strongest at the ends of the size spectrum.  Large regional banks will combine to become super-sized institutions in the “too big to fail” category.  Very small community banks will consolidate first to survive and then to thrive in the new banking regime.

So if you’re thinking about buying banks, or have banks among your portfolio companies, it’s imperative you take advantage of this shift in rankings, rules, and risk.  You have to play the sector differently, and The Capital Roundtable is ready to bring you the expert guidance you need.  

Make plans now to join us for our fourth annual full-day banks conference on Thursday, February 10, in New York --

Private Equity Investing

In Regional & Community Banks --

How Investors Can Thrive

Plus when you sign up now, you can help yourself to a cash bonus that’s too good to pass up.  Our special Early Bird Discount -- a generous savings of $400 -- applies to all reservations made by December 29, 2011!

20 Banking Industry Experts Cover What’s New & What’s Working.

At this exclusive conference, you’ll discover why a more flexible and nimble approach to banking investment can help you succeed brilliantly.  Making smaller bets in a more diversified way trumps single large bets -- as asset quality is difficult to pin down even with the best of due diligence, and can deteriorate very quickly.

Right now, the smallest banks are subject to a large liquidity discount, often valued at roughly 60% of the level of their larger peers.  Many are in a position to grow rapidly and profitably through FDIC-assisted acquisitions, branch acquisitions from troubled competitors, and whole-bank acquisitions of healthy competitors that are available at attractive prices.

So rather than making outright bank purchases, many private equity investors are choosing to focus on capitalizing these small banks and helping get them in a position to sell.  By getting into banks under book, they can sell them over book in a short period of time, and potentially get a stake in the buying company as well.

Best of all, you’ll hear timely strategies like these directly from the source -- our chair Yaron Brook, managing director and chairman at Context BH Equity Fund, based in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

Yaron is one of today’s best-known experts in the financial services industry, with over a decade of experience investing in regional and community banks.  He is a regular guest on CNBC, Fox Business Network, and PJTV, and his research has been published and presented in journals and conferences around the world.

At Context BH Equity Fund, Yaron oversees private equity investment strategies based on his firm’s proprietary banking industry research.  A former finance professor in the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University, Yaron holds a BSc in civil engineering from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, and earned his MBA and PhD in finance from the University of Texas at Austin.

Along with Yaron, our panel discussions will feature 20 knowledgeable private equity experts in the bank industry space, including GPs, portfolio company operating executives, investment bankers, lenders, consultants and more.  They’ll be sharing their candid opinions on operating strategies, branding challenges, deal structures, and other key topics.

Register now to get the answers that can make 2011 a banner year --

• When is a small bank too small?
• How can you leverage the value gap between smaller illiquid and larger more liquid community banks?
• Which regions may be seeing the most bank failures, and which may see the most traditional bank consolidation through acquisition?
• Why is traditional due diligence becoming less revealing with regional and community banks?
• What will the likely rules of Dodd-Frank mean for regional and community banks?
• What are the limits of FDIC acquisition in creating future value?
• Does it still make sense to become a bank holding company, and what is the downside risk?
• What capital commitments and deal structures are most common today?
• What tactics are successful private equity investors using to limit asset risk?
• And much, much more.

Networking Opportunities To Jump Start Your Year.

One of the reasons our past regional and community banks conferences have been sold out is your potential to make valuable contacts and connections.  We’ve built in plenty of time over the day when you can meet fellow attendees and featured speakers, including session breaks and an open lunch.

You should attend this conference if you are a --

• GP or LP considering opportunities in investing in regional or community banks.
• Private equity firm wanting to add a financial institution component to your portfolio.
• Hedge fund manager or venture capitalist investigating financial institutions.
• Operating executive of a small financial institution portfolio company.
• Investment banker pursuing regional or community banking deals.
• Attorneys and advisors who deal with financial institutions.
• Executive search professionals recruiting for the banking and private equity industries.

Remember, register with our Early Bird Discount by December 29, 2011, and you’ll save $400 off our standard fee!  Seats are available right now, but not for long, so please make your reservation now so you’re not disappointed.  We’ll be looking forward to greeting you.
