To learn more about recent  dislocations in the banking sector, TIGER 21 recently hosted a virtual TIGER Talk for its Members titled, “Unpacking the Current Banking Crisis,” featuring Raj Date.  

Raj Date is Managing Partner of Fenway Summer, an advisory and investment firm focused on financial services and financial technology. The TIGER Talk was moderated by New York City TIGER 21 Chair Lorine Pendleton, Investment Partner at Portfolia Rising America Fund I & II.

• The combined impact on economic stability and investment portfolios. 

During a Q&A, Date offered additional takeaways on: 

• Other areas of vulnerability for banks, including commercial real estate lending. 
• Context on the recent outflows from banks to money market funds.
