The US bank

Choose a US bank that preferably is 6-50 in terms of asset size or market capitalization – specify which criterion you have used.
Description
Investigate and describe what their major businesses are: e.g. Trade Finance, Large Corporate Lending, Middle Market Lending, Small Business Lending, Retail/Consumer Lending… How did they do in the Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 (at least 1 page)?
Strategy/Competition
Are they a niche player (products or geography)? Generic (kind of like most banks in the top say 50 banks)? Waiting to be acquired or a likely acquirer of other smaller banks? How does their competitive landscape look (about a page)?
Merger History (half a page)
CAMEL analysis (2-3 pages) focused on most recent year compared to previous year but if there are some interesting long term trends point them out:
Capital Adequacy
Asset Quality
Management
Earnings (avoid elevator analysis e.g. Revenues were up and Income down – you need to give why?)
Liquidity (You might not have much to say on that)
