Alberto Paracchini

Nate, a couple of things.

of as had So the here in that pay third why didn’t in few tailwinds, than obviously quarter. benefit growth, in quarter extra some I a comments. a loan fourth reason that. no expected. terms downs happen see Prepayments in the for the the We of question suspect mentioned we’ll strong in I lower we about came quarter

that helped So certainly a us bit.

something quarters. is that to down some have coming over to were think last with and mortgage Obviously is we other that Lindsay and portfolio is, that And relaxed been several quarter what the that a the had, is in I residential last the with year added talking thing first balances. this much mentioned that higher, runoff speaks about that we’ve portfolio as headwinds, year, when the particularly smaller. obviously of portfolio prepayments

So of of starting to subside that effect is it. the

that over pipelines contributing and origination the really, since sure it’s for in gradual we’ve that a in thinking other we about add been namely context we’ve years into that, is, today And starting business putting and I growth bankers as something the our a buildup. year, been to is, the see we our several banking was know, past. lot in The making building thing also and bank. have really would last say We’ve is, and, up. last given really the building, adding benefits really are I talked different size we’re years, to you I we’re that of thing are this of And last The of in the teams the been would been form that’s have, example, sources in think end contributions think reflective bank what I our our quarter. this growth that on the those not focused there, making platform loan is seeing that leasing

the margin lot Now a at it’s contribute starting more. to

about questions charge-offs. your First

where there speaking the question the overall to We forms. benign. The a been think stimulus the the economy of and for credit made, mentioned that is the still, Lindsay credit has think are. that has environment and word had you reasons is, benefit many has the vigilant we I of very lot had and I the benefit exactly comments as

concerned In we where the in of immense marketplace the presents I There’s charge-offs looking yield. terms things. situations or advantage of form an in It’s are market. of, will mention look of about the to And that. exit is you certain we other a amount an that credits at and for opportunities to have you degree opportunity several have take that would that you to that look the that something liquidity thing

is, last I’m good what over been have very several saying the quarters. think, I charges So, there

we point think are anticipate at we’ll of continue have issues gets take, look loan to we obviously, to We through will and as if of continue Lindsay your reserves a on the of and to good at built and level reserves. level environment. see right I’m the she potential we opportunities have growth, And to take adequacy point to this, closely But that the on touch lastly, that question. sure this growth, Nate advantage

nice customer we’re purchases, and call a also it’s – also see equip that, we’re equipment a to just add seeing again, So, existing it to which from to core, base. activity, a, of customers expansion new resuming our lot

So yes, yes. is answer the short

On the industrial real well very is multifamily, The estate we’re asset rest good narrower, side of meaning, in particularly I the quiet. as as classes think are activity, color seeing is everything there else. more the

not a lot for there. seeing example So we’re retail,

effects. from I loans And having to pandemic reasons, big capital market mode, the certainly we’re for office and lender, again, in obvious see settings that we’re wait given the hotel not capital standpoint. an challenges think some an but where a but for think office big in asset access to office a I a lender, is is class not a that’s that’s area

And Okay. on me, maybe of the last is two last the has for just or great, where impressive, one record super just been the then growth kind DDAs are, – deposit the of kind levels do about growth this just I think balance forward your you size guess, deposit slows, expectation going as and that the of sheet is here, just you remixes.

with more flows, I on a And just think just sheet those the that, bit stable into You're moving the that? you kind be are side, and more of here, to the but know little security deposit the outlook, kind loans deposit how it on this about clear balance to seeing from was that's quarter, of side. down articulating still is

long that think here lot earning of has. there, But your a question Brian, liquidity goal yes, how continue the and fair, to the big and there's assessment system, I those deploy to and is liquidity So, the it in and is everybody assets loans. is still stays out remix our

Brian Martin

you. Got

– trends but here, or I how down quarter slow thoughts is it's and completed remaining know That's what Okay. be been think year or and fair just I I pick, largely it, that PPP that but would last seems the are on, was know some is year a you the your that on next don't have tail great? just been see to end expectation if thought. this any just guess, there's And since one a how there's is about
