What are the results of First Horizon’s most recent stress test?
On the capital side, First Horizon conducts annual stress tests (opens in a new tab) to ensure the company is able to maintain sufficient financial strength to meet client needs through an adverse financial cycle.
"Our 2024 capital stress test results in a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.5%, which is 500 bps over the required regulatory minimum," said CFO Hope Dmuchowski. "That buffer is driven by FHN's diversified loan portfolio, countercyclical businesses, and strong risk culture that enables the bank to support clients as well as pursue opportunistic relationships through economic cycles."
What governance and oversight are in place?
First Horizon’s liquidity management approach is part of a comprehensive, enterprise-wide system of risk governance, measurement, management and reporting.
From the board to the business unit, we have established accountabilities, control processes, procedures and a management governance structure designed to align risk management with risk-taking throughout the company.
The control procedures are aligned with four areas of governance including internal measures like specific risk committees, organizations and business unit practices, as well as independent assurance functions, to ensure our organization continues to evaluate the risk/return and earnings volatility with shareholder value.
