WHAT:                
The Partnership for a Secure Financial Future, comprised of the Consumer Bankers Association, Mortgage Bankers Association, Financial Services Institute, and The Financial Services Roundtable, will host a panel discussion to reveal the results of the Hamilton Financial Index, a semi-annual report on the state of the financial services industry, and the value it provides to the economy during the crisis and the ongoing recovery.

The report includes a new tool that measures the safety and soundness of the financial services industry, the Hamilton Financial Index. Developed by Hamilton Place Strategies, the Hamilton Financial Index is unique in that it merges both systemic risk and capital levels into one measurement. By combining both measures, the index offers a new way of looking at how the financial industry is addressing risk.              

The report is the first in a series of semi-annual reports to coincide with the Federal Reserve Chairman's Humphrey-Hawkins testimony before Congress.

Matt McDonald, Hamilton Financial Index Author, Partner, Hamilton Place Strategies will discuss the findings of the report at a breakfast event at the Newseum. He will be joined for a panel discussion by Tony Fratto, Partner, Hamilton Place Strategies and Steve McMillin, Partner, Gramm Partners, LLC. Opening remarks and discussion will be moderated by Steve Bartlett, President and CEO, Financial Services Roundtable.
