Driving member value through best-in-class credit union solutions

At Piper Sandler, we help clients develop strategies that fit their unique balance sheet according to their specific asset liability mix. We have a dedicated team of balance sheet professionals skilled at identifying risks, opportunities and hedging strategies in all corners of a credit union balance sheet. Our goal is to enhance your balance sheet performance in every interest rate environment. The financial strategies group is composed of 25 professionals across the U.S. with an average of 10+ years experience in financial institutions. Our ALM document is ALCO/Board/Examiner friendly and focuses on all key financial metrics including capital management and liquidity.

A well-run investment portfolio can differentiate a credit union from their competition, enabling better loan and deposit rates. With the right structure, the portfolio can provide yields above your cost of funds while also offering a consistent liquidity source to fund future loan demand. Our team of portfolio strategists can help a credit union build this portfolio while also respecting the ALM impacts. We offer pre and post purchase analysis, permissible credit union product education, and swap and restructure analytics allowing you to document and execute the best trades for your credit union.

Loan participations have been a growing trend for credit unions over the last 10 years. This is another balance sheet tactic that can help a credit union compete in their market by providing liquidity for credit unions with a high loan-to-share ratio or higher yielding buy side options for credit unions with a low loan-to-share ratio. Our team of seasoned professionals has 28+ years of experience on average and has completed more than 2,109 loan portfolio transactions totaling $67B in announced deal value.* With knowledge of all loan and credit types, our loan strategies group provides market color and accurate pricing of all loan asset classes. Unique consumer loan “flow programs” offer consistent, strategic cash deployment options for buyers.
