Page 2 of 2

There are many other factors to consider when investing in a bank, but it is definitely smart to be mindful of the potential benefits these banks will reap from current monetary policy changes. As previously stated, regional banks such as Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ:HBAN) and Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE:RF) are particularly sensitive to interest rate changes; thus they will have the most upside potential in the event of interest rate increases. Investors with a strong conviction that the Federal Reserve will start tapering soon should look into these stocks. On the other hand, investors that are still uncertain about future Federal Reserve policy should take a look at the mega-banks, which aren’t overly dependent on net interest margin but will still profit handsomely from its increase.
