2023 continues to be tough for the banking sector. With bank failures, interest rate and funding pressure and now potential credit concerns, this business is not for the faint of heart.

Thank you. Welcome to the third quarter of ‘23 earnings release and conference call. We’ll discuss the results of the quarter, we’ll talk about the year and what’s going on in the bank space, and then we’ll open it up for Q&A.
First, I’d like to pay respect to a mentor, a trusted professional investor, respected friend, and trusted ally. A person we all look to for guidance and advice, and we have total respect for her, and she was above reproach. And it is Sally Pope Davis, whose hands has guided Goldman Sachs Bank stock investment for many, many years.
