Non earning assets and total assets growth

Some more interesting tidbits. GS Bank is indeed savvy by not having a lot invested in fixed assets.

I define fixed assets as premises, other real estate owned (OREO), real estate ventures, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. The percentiles for each of those is respectively: 9th, 7th, 78th, and 72nd. What has just donned on me is that perhaps GS Bank is keeping their OREO artifically low by moving those assets into real estate ventures or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. I would have to dig into the accounting standards FASB methinks.

Here's a stat that not's totally in the peripheries compared to other banks:

Where did the difference in fixed assets and total non earning assets come from? Bankers' acceptances, which are in the 89th percentile.

And here's the figures for total assets (in $ amounts as well as in growth rate).
