Investors are generally sour when it comes to bank stocks, and the financial sector as a whole trades at a low valuation to expected earnings.
But the great expansion of U.S. household wealth points to an opportunity for long-term investors to ride a wave of stable and growing earnings for certain financial service companies. These companies are de-emphasizing riskier and lower-margin lending businesses and cyclical investment-banking activities, while focusing on growing more stable fee-generating business.
Coverage of financial companies will often center on credit — after all, nearly everyone will borrow money at some point. Borrowing is risky for everyone, and low credit quality was a driving factor in the 2008 financial crisis, but banks and other financial service companies have learned that other financial services are less risky and more profitable.

Sykes also holds shares of Charles Schwab Corp. SCHW in the GABF portfolio. Schwab made a similar acquisition of TD Ameritrade in 2020.
