Callahan’s May Trendwatch with first quarter 2024 data opened with an economic update from Alloya Corporate Federal Credit Union.
This opening analysis was one of the most thorough, well documented presentations on macro economic issues, credit union trends and Alloya’s own recent financial experience I have seen.
Todd Adams, CEO and Andy Kohl, Chief Investment Officer were the presenters of over 20 slides. They covered trends in consumer spending, interest rate volatility and future outlooks. They showed how Alloya navigated the dramatic inflows and then liquidity shortfalls in 2022/2023.
Below I excerpt several slides to provide examples of their analysis. The full Trendwatch slide deck from May 14 can be accessed from Callahans here.
