Luncheon – April 24th – Mr. Geoff Boyd from LNB brings us Mr. Matt Ramsey from ANB

Mr. Geoff Boyd from Lubbock National Bank brings us Mr. Matt Ramsey from ANB

Matt became an investment professional several years after starting his banking career 27 years ago. Since 2005, he has been heading the investments area within Amarillo National Bank’s $4.5 billion trust department. He oversees all facets of that department including: staff management, asset allocation targets, manager/fund selection, economic analysis, trading, and client communication. Additionally, he delivers an economic summary to Amarillo National Bank’s asset and liability committee, where interest rates are set. He has a BBA in Finance from West Texas A&M University. He earned the right to use the CFA designation in 2006. Matt and his wife of 28 years reside in Amarillo, Texas where they are busy raising their seven children.

Matt will lay out a picture of the key economic ideas that got us to where we are today. Is the current economic cycle just beginning or drawing to a close? What makes this cycle different from previous cycles? Will the Federal Reserve Bank cut rates or hold them at these higher levels? Using charts and very current data, these questions will be explored. Hopefully, at the end of Matt’s talk, you’ll have a practical framework you can use to make sense of new economic data as the economy unfolds.
