3.We note your disclosures discussing various key assumptions associated with your net
interest income sensitivity and economic value of equity sensitivity. The assumptions for
your net interest income sensitivity include loan and deposit growth and pricing, and plans
for projected changes in funding mix in your baseline forecast. Key assumptions used in
the calculation of your economic value of equity sensitivity measure include projecting
rate sensitive prepayments for mortgage securities, loans and other assets, term structure
modeling of interest rates, discount spreads, and deposit volume and pricing
assumptions. Please revise your disclosures, in future filings, to fully describe and define
the various identified inputs and assumptions supporting your market risk presentations
and sensitivity disclosures. In addition, provide a discussion of how any assumptions have
changed from period to period, including any changes to the data source used or
significant changes in the actual assumption itself.

compared to December 31, 2022. Please expand your disclosures, in future filings, to
quantify and discuss changes in your deposit beta and/or cumulative deposit beta between
periods presented, to the extent that it is monitored and used by management, as well as a
more fulsome discussion of how the metric is calculated. In this regard, we noted
commentary during your third quarter of 2023 earnings call discussing your cumulative
beta.
