Cheryl Pate, senior portfolio manager at Angel Oak Capital and manager of the Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust, says that 2024 "will bring a still somewhat tough operating environment for the banks but net interest margins are abating, valuations are cheap and [mergers and acquisitions] activity should accelerate from here." That gives banks an attractive opportunity set, particularly by focusing on credit quality and looking for "a fundamental mispricing of bank debt" that is creating some compelling bargains for investors.
